Mr. Dirty

Introducing the newest member of our family... Mr Dirty!
Levi has a new pet. And, since we can't have cats or dogs, or any other imaginable animal in our apartment, he found a pet that he can keep. At least for now. A worm. We found him on our porch as I was sweeping the massive amounts of dead leaves away. And since it always rains in Washington, a soaking wet cement porch covered with dead leaves is a perfect place for a worm.

Levi found a bowl and filled it with dirt for the worm. Last night he had a complete melt-down because Claire fed the worm strawberry Gatorade and Levi thought the worm died. He has now been moved to a new bowl, with non-strawberry flavored dirt. And I have been repeatedly assured that this worm is a boy.

Levi actually is pretty creative with his names. He has several stuffed animals that have names; a bat named Goofy, a two-headed dragon named Fire and Cargo, and a triceratops named Snotty. Our car is named George. Although not creative, he was in a Curious George phase.

On another note...we are barely surviving now that Josh is gone. The kids have not seen him in over a week and he does not get back until next Saturday! He says the interview are going well, and he is flying to Rochester as I type.

I was quite POed at my hubby yesterday. Rochester turns out to be a very expensive place to rent a car and hard to find a hotel with airport transportation. I spent at least three hours trying to find a car for him, a hotel for him, transportation to the interview and dinner, when he calls me and says... "oh, I just checked my emails and Rochester Hospital is providing all transportation and hotels" WHAT! Seriously, now that I am single-momming it AND Christmas is two weeks away, I have much better ways of spending three hours. Not to mention that this email was sent November 3rd! ACK! Is it really that hard to be organized?
