Only 3 more weeks...

I've been neglectful to my online friends. I haven't posted too often on either of my blogs. I certainly haven't been visiting anybody else's blogs. I have little time and even less energy these days. Luckily, there is an end in sight. We only have 3 more weeks of this particular ordeal before we move on to the next phase.

Kira gets her cast off on November 17th. This is very exciting. If we're really lucky, she won't require another cast. The doctor said that it does happen on occassion where the hips are not quite secure enough to be completely removed from the cast, but he also says that it is very rare. If she does require a third cast, it will be lower on her chest and only go to her knees on both legs and it will only be for one month. I'm really praying hard that she won't require that third cast. I'm ready to hold her and snuggle her up without that big, bulky piece of fiberglass in my way. She's ready for a bubble bath. I promised her that we would have our very own bubble bath together -WITHOUT Marisa - when she comes home without that cast. She's very excited about that promise.

In the midst of all this Kira chaos, we are also packing up and moving. Moving is not fun even under the best of circumstances. Moving with a mostly immobile 4 yr old is just pure torture (on me). It must be done, though.

Oh yeah - and I have to somehow manage to create a couple of costumes by Friday because Halloween is coming and we must go out as goblins and goulies. Kira has decided that she wants to be a ghost, just like Casper. Marisa will be whatever I manage to scrounge together between now and then.
