Cheese With Your Whine?

Ramblings
I'm a bad sisterYesterday was Katie's birthday. No, I didn't forget. I called her from work and told her happy birthday. But I cannot for the life of me find a daggum cake stand for her...at least not one that looks like I want it to, so she got nuthin from me. She's kind of having a hard time with this one - it's the big 2-5! I'd like her to think it gets easier but nope. I will continue on my search for the perfect cake stand and when I find it, she will get it.
She's really a great sister. This pic was taken almost two years ago at her wedding. Sadly, we don't have many together since. It's been a pretty wild two years. We've both moved to Texas, had babies, moved in together, wanted to kill each other, laughed at our babies, cried with and at each other and in general gotten closer than ever. Now, Chris is talking about moving them back to Stillwater in a couple of years. How dare he!!! It's funny how time and a bit of maturity can change a realtionship. We did not get along at all growing up. In fact, she has some scars on her arm, thanks to me. But when we got uprooted and moved to Woodward, OK of all places, and had noone, we realized that we had each other. As crappy as that year was (that's a story for another day), it was great for our relationship. I'm so glad she's in my life and that she's Rylee's aunt. I just mention her to Rylee and the kid goes crazy, with smiles!
It's getting better...
Okay, I'm not panicking about work anymore. I have left at 4:00 for the past two days and it shaves quite a bit of time off the commute and gets me there about an hour and half earlier. Her teachers say that Rylee is adjusting well. I asked them quite bluntly today to tell me *really* how she's doing and everyone said that for a kid who's never been in full time child care, she's doing very well. Today, she was 'happy, chatty, curious and tired', according to her little sheet. She is eating well, but still only sleeps about 30 minutes. They've got 2 hours blocked off for it. While it's not ideal, I am feeling better about the situation. Although she still cries when I leave, they tell me it's only for about 2 minutes. It does suck to leave her while she's upset, though.
And I do really like the job, so that makes it a lot better. I'll be able to do lots of exciting things, but right now I feel like I'm drinking from a fire hydrant. I will not be bored for a very long time.
London...
What a shame. I heard about this on the way to work. At that time, the casualty total was only at 4. I feel badly for that city and country. I remember how it felt here on Sept. 11. Ick. I hope they get the jerks that did it.
