Spice had a bath today and as you can see she is already dirty. We have mud out in the back and that's where she stuck her face.

I meant it, I give UP!! This is the 3rd time I cleaned her up and I am going to forget about it even if she looks dirty for class. I am too sick for this craziness of a juvenile that loves to be mischevious.

Normally when I am feeling well, I laugh but I am not laughing now that its happened repeatedly.

But Mommy, don't lose your sense of humour. You know you love me!
