Taking care of my parents

So I have heard that many times children will find themselves caring for, in one way or another,
their parents as they grow older. I did not expect that my tour of duty would have to start this soon!

It all began last night when I decided I needed a early morning snack. This not being unusual (I eat about once every 3 hours -- helps me maintain my waistline) Cute aren't I? :)

Anyhow, there was another reason I was waking up - there was trouble in 'River City' As Mom put me back in my crib after eating (Dad had fed me around midnight just so you know he isn't slacking on helping out) she quickly realized that there was indeed a problem. An ominous red glow was emanating from the house next door. We have new nextdoor neighbors who are in the middle of building their dream home. A beautiful place - open an airy ( I got to see it last weekend in fact!)


Well I am not sure how it started but the beautiful home was ablaze. Once Mom & Dad realized what was going on, they called 911, wrapped me up and we ran out of our house - you see, the two buildings are sorta close.















































Long story short, the new place is a complete loss. Luckily no one was hurt, and none of our neighbors belongings were lost. My my house now needs a little repair work -- nothing what it could have been if I hadn't woke Mom up and we called 911. Lessons learned

1. Check the batteries in your smoke detectors and make sure you know your quickest way to safety.
2. Appreciate each day -- you don't know what's around the corner.
   

I am off to take a nap.
