Odd Conversations...

Apparently, we are already planning for Scout's death with a variety of comments this week...both Matt and I have begun sentences in the last two days like this:

"When Scout D-I-E-S (spelled in front of the children, of course), we will....."

1. Get the carpets cleaned.
2. Get the furniture cleaned.
3. Redo the family room (I was inspired by Nate on Oprah yesterday! A new room with less than $300!)
4. Get more fish. Lucy seems less stressed if we keep talking about new fish.
5. Sneeze less.

This is NOT to say we look forward to this pending event. In fact, the girl doesn't have much longer. She's still doing o.k., but I might give it a few more weeks at best. Poor Scout....
