Me, Myself and I:
I am the author of this blog, and therefore not required to come up with an alternative name for myself.
My Geek:
According to the modern dictionary a geek is any smart person with an obsessive interest (a nerd is the same but also lacks social grace).
He is smart. And he obsesses, therefore I lovingly refer to him as My Geek.
Remy:
He is a mutt and is irrefutably the BEST DOG EVER. Being a dog, he gets to use his own name.
Italics:
A medium-hair calico and about the prettiest cat you've ever seen. He believes he owns the house. He demonstrates this by jumping on the counters. Or climbing on your lap and sitting on top of the book you're reading.

I can't even imagine jumping straight into the teen years especially in a non permanent situation. I've been thinking of you guys and praying for you!
Thank you! Things are settling down. I think the hardest thing has been that we were just totally unprepared for 1 - a teenager and 2 - how long she's stayed. If we knew from day one this was going to be longer-term we probably would have started things off differently. Thinking it was just a couple night visit we were more focussed on making sure she was comfortable than doing things like establishing house rules, etc. Lesson learned for next time!
