If you read my blog on my space you may remember how I related that Julia once got stuck in a public bathroom thus resulting in me sliding under the door with my head resting in God only knows what at the base of a toilet. Julia then crawled out leaving my in there by myself. I then took the hottest shower of my life. Well I have recently come to the conclusion that Julia is trying to kill me by exposing me to various forms of bacteria. She may just be an evil genius.
The other day Julia was playing a game with Patch where she throws a balloon in the air and he bumps it back to her. This game once kept us totally entertained for an hour during a power outage. For some reason she decided to change balloons and asked me to blow up an orange one. I was apparently not paying close enough attention to what she was doing.
As I am going light headed blowing up this balloon Julia says, "Mom, I let Patch pick out his own color and he picked orange! Do you know how I know he wants orange?"
With my face the color of a tomato I just shake my head no. "I put out all the colors we have and he licked the orange one! So I knew he wanted to play with orange!" Julia is very proud of herself and smiling like she just solved world peace. As I nod my head and smile around the balloon to show her how I am very proud of her it begins to dawn on me what she just said.
"Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that Patch licked the balloon that I just blew up?" I am being very careful not to let the balloon deflate as I tie a knot because I know she will want me to blow it up again.
She proudly nods her head and gives me the biggest smile she has. At this point I very carefully look at her eyes to see if there is any evil spark present. Flashes of the bathroom incident are bouncing around in my head and paranoia takes over as I imagine her carefully plotting out just how to introduce various forms of bacteria into my system. In the end I just laugh out loud and shake my head. What else can you do?

Just like Sarah brushing Ivy's teeth with my toothbrush. She came into the bathroom one day and announced to me, as I was dutifully brushing my teeth, "Hey, that's the toothbrush I use to brush Ivy's teeth!"
UUUMMMM do you think that Juliana is connected to Sarah more than we think? Picture the fun!!!!!
Love, MOM
Yeah, we have all heard that story before, but dogs do need dental hygene just like us. It does strike me though that when I was reading Bella's blog titled "what is a Julia", I did feel a strong connection like she was describing myself at her age. So just an apology to you Stephanie for all of the FUN you have ahead of you with that one, and make sure to call me when she is fifteen and I will tell you exactly what she is thinking!!
