Today, I have a sicky kid. Poor AJ started getting sick yesterday - nothing too serious - just a stomach bug, but no school for him today. The bad part - I made him get up at 5:15 this morning and take a shower - just to make sure he was really sick - not just tired - and that meant I had to get up at my normal 5:00. I could have slept in! (Not really - I was awake before the alarm went off.) I didn't sleep well anyway. At around 4:00 this morning, we had what sounded like a wounded bird crying in the back yard (very noisy!). It turned out to be a rather large owl calling out in the back area. Good thing Lucy was inside! She is so little, he could have taken her off for a snack! Willey, on the other had, might be a bit more than he could pick up and fly off with!

Here's AJ and his TV buddy. That cat is way too big for an owl to take away!
