Organized chaos!?

5:00 a.m. Wally scratching at our door to let him out , so he can do his business.
7:00 a.m. Estella lets Wally back in the house, where Wally decides to do his business in the living room instead.
7:15 a.m. I'm on my hands and knees scrubbing dog "caca" off our living room carpet.

8:30 a.m. COFFEE break, and breakfast with Estella.

9:30 a.m. -2:00 p.m. Mother, sister Janette, Fabian & Pricilla come over to play with Estella, while I work in the office. Carpet installer's come over to give me quotes for new carpet. Lunch with Mother, sister Janette and the children. We say good-bye to Mother and the gang. Estella goes down for a nap, and I finally shower.

2:15 p.m. Jenny and Iris arrive. Jenny, Megan and I have a pedicure appointment. Iris sits for Estella.
