Jill's Journey

Everything is going well in Jill Land health-wise as we settle into our new normal of no more drugs, no more once-a-month check-ups.  She is definitely back to her old self, however, I fear I may have created a monster.  OK, so yes, maybe I have babied her a little over the past 10 months, but really who could blame me?   I quite possibly let her get away with a few antics she may not otherwise have been allowed to, such as over-indulging in treats or smacking brudda in the face a time or two.  Well, last night, Jack decided to ruffle some feathers.  When I get home from work (and I suspect when I’m AT work), these are always the assumed positions, Jill on her spot on the blankie, Jack on his blankie on top of the couch:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jack got a little brave last night and decided it was his turn on the blankie – and even though there is a lot of room on that blankie, he wanted THAT spot.  Well this threw Jill’s whole world into a tizzy.  She was jumping on the couch, off the couch, staring, hitting….nothing could get Jack off that spot.  Giving me looks of such guilt, “Mom please make him move”.  She did not care that there was an entire area of the blankie she could lay on.  She was MAD.  How dare he!?

Here she is first staring out from the bedroom plotting her next move (I put the arrow so you can see her little black face hiding in the darkness):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh the horror of it all:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eventually, after hours of this behavior, she figured out the other spot on the blankie isn’t SO bad.  But she wasn’t happy about it as you can see.  But little Jilly must learn sooner or later Jack is important too and she must share!  He was here first after all………………
