Things have settled down this week. Just when I was dreaming about sewing up a penguin costume for Huck and sending him to the zoo for a few weeks, he's turned back around.

I'm so glad to be seeing his sweet, considerate, funny side. After the last few weeks, I was starting to doubt whether I'd ever see it again.

Most likely I'll be back at the bottom of the dogpile again tomorrrow when the Hub gets back from DC. But being Huck's only option for the last few days is working well. As nice as it is to have Hubs working from home, it kind of sucks that Huckle can reject me all day long and go to Daddy, opposed to 5 pm to 8pm.
