3 ring circus

I am in wisconsin and in some crazy version of a three ring circus. Ah family time. Suzanne is my moms friend (that's the short story) and we are staying at her house, her adopted daughter Tisha is 5 and was a shaken baby, she wobbles around, screams and hits the button on electronic toys for hours at a time, enough to drive anyone around her crazy. Liamante is 4 tomorrow and he is darling with his little glass eye and grumpy looks. He is new to foster care, a cancer survivor (we think) and you can tell he's sad to not be with his mom, she is having a baby in a few days and he'll be back with her in a month probably but in the meantime he's here and totally doesn't understand why Tisha is so big with a baby sized brain doing crazy things. My dad is here too, he's 78 and not very mobile, he falls a lot and recently fell and hurt his ribs...so every so often, all of a sudden he clutches his side and yells "Oh!Ah!" and startles anyone around him. My mom directs this circus going between person to person making sure everyone has what they need and keeps the craziness to a minimum. Suzanne's other daughter Karah is 8 and about the sweetest thing you ever met, she stays out of the way and helps where she can. Then there's the puppy. Ug. He jumps on everything and chews on everything...he spends time in his kennel watching the circus and barking when he wants out, they have a dog whisperer coming to visit on monday. I'm sure with my big belly and constant runs to the bathroom I contribute to the circus in my own way. Jessi escaped out of the house for a night of sushi, music and friends, she can only handle the circus in small doses.
Tomorrow is the baby shower and more craziness will ensue. It will be fun and memorable for sure.

Wow. I got exhausted reading that! Sorry to hear about your dad :( We have a birthday boy here tomorrow too, Ryan will be 4! I am so exited to see that baby of yours.

Oh and a comment for the below post? My wedding ring has not fit since Miss Molly was born :) Does that make you feel any better!

Have a great shower!
