Returning to Normal

I'm back from Florida, and it was great, I really enjoyed doing the demonstrations to interested K-12 teachers. And from the feedback that has been filtering back to me, the teachers enjoyed it too. I may be doing it again sometime.

But Arabella has been screaming and yelling alot since I got back. It may be the cold weather (keeping us inside) or the mommy absence, or that she is sick and I am feeling out of sorts, but the house has been a tense one. Now that I am finally feeling well and Arabella seems to be improving, Michael is sick. Arabella has gotten scratched by the cat this past week at least once, since she simply can't seem to understand "Leave the cat alone!" no matter how it is said or how many times she gets hissed at. Miro is unhappy (fleas, flea medication, flea bath) and old and not up to being mauled by a friendly toddler, and I am about ready to relegate her to the basement if her attitude doesn't improve.
