I am discovering one of the side affects of living with Jimmy. While he is at work in the evenings, Caiti and I have some strange, but wonderful experiences, talks, walks, etc. This past five days or so, Caiti has been complaining about how her stomach seems to be hurting all the time, but she is not throwing up or has any other symptoms associated with coming down with a "bug." In puzzling over what might be the cause, I suddenly remembered that Hey ! She is actually 10 1/2 years old and maybe... just maybe... Aunt Emma is getting ready to move in with her ! Since I only had one girl and that "event" was soooooo long ago in my memory, I might be wrong... But, based on the ages of the girls I teach and when their "visits" began...... it is a distinct possibility. !
The first time I got a visit, we were living at Eglin. I was supposed to babysit for my very first time and it just so happened to be for a teacher of mine. It was Saturday morning when I discovered there was no doubt that somehow I was bleeding to death ! I remember even thinking that I was going to die and therefore would not be able to babysit for my teacher and how mad she would be !
Caiti's reaction when I suggested the possibility to her was """ No Way ! How can I do 'THAT" and still jump on the trampoline ! I did tell her that on the bright side, I did not have to have my visit from Aunt Emma anymore and all Caiti had to do was be as old as I am! I cannot publish in the presence of polite society the look that she gave me when confronted with that piece of info. !!
Ahhhhhhh....... life with a little one ----What can I say ????

She said tonight "Aunt Susie"... my tummy feels so much better after that medicine you gave me... How did you know? I bought some Midol, broke it in half and gave it to her... worked like a charm... "How did I know ?"" Sheeesshhhh, perhaps about a half of century of battle with Aunt Emma and I FINALLY WON !!!
