I will definitely be praying for your dad, his doctors and your family as you support him in his healing!
Thinking of you and your dad right this very minute. Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery!
Hey all!
Happy Memorial Day everyone! I am so proud to be a part of such a wonderful country and SO thankful for the men and women who have served so selflessly to keep this country free.
I've had a bit of a rough day at work - at least it started rough. We really ended pretty well, though! It was around 90 degrees today in St. Louis and when I got home, my little girl was playing in the water from the garden hose in the front yard. It just made my heart so happy to see her taking such joy in something so simple. Being a mom is seriously magical sometimes. I've hard a hard time this year and lost 2 precious babies. In moments like this, though, I feel so blessed with the miracle that I do have. Its really special - now I just have to figure out how to work less so that I can spend more time with that blessing cheesy
I almost had a large group of 30-40 people show up at my house last night by mistake! I was posting a facebook event for my bbq that I am having around the 4th of July. Well, I apparently didn't change the date when posting it because around 4pm yesterday, I started getting calls about what kind of sides or desserts did I need for the bbq! Whoops! So then I had to make phone calls FAST to make sure no one came over! There was not only no food in the house, but I also don't have a functioning bathroom right now b/c we're remodeling!! ACK! Thankfully I got ahold of everyone LOL. They will now all be coming on the CORRECT date LOL
Anyways - I made my first trip to the gym tonight, so I'll need ya'll to be here to make sure I actually make my second trip to the gym tomorrow LOL. I feel a bit anxious right now, as I have no clue what I am doing at a gym, so wish me luck on this endeavor.
Okay - enough of the blabbering tonight! I've got 209 more days to blabber your ears off! Have a great Christmasy night everyone!

I have to skip the last 10 pages, cause it's bedtime. I listened to all the MMC podcasts this weekend. They were great! I especially liked the one where people left messages. Maybe this year I'll remember to call in.
Saying prayers right this moment for your dad xo It really is a routine procedure but I know what you are feeling ((((HUGS)))))

Well, wrap up another weekend....the last one of the school year. We have four more days of school and then I'm taking a little home vacation. Can't wait for that!
Great, great weekend! Worked outside, cooked out...just love doing those things. Yard is almost in shape for the summer and all I will have to do the rest of the summer is maintain, which is fun!
Going to be a busy week and it starts with a quick trip to a meeting in the morning. Leaving at 5, so I better get some sleep.
Good night, Christmas friends. I hope you have a wonderful week!

Devastated
Good evening, Christmas family.
I just thought I would stop by and say hello and I hope all had a wonderful Memorial Day. If not for our brave troops where would we be ??
I got some devastating news today. First of all, Wishbone had a very slight episode again today. Not nearly as bad as the first one. But still an episode. He kind of was wobbly like he was drunk a little and couldn't quite walk normal for a time.
I talked to a specialist today as I was thinking of trying to have a diagnostic MRI done even though it likely would not change the treatment. I figured at least I would know what is going on. The tech was so nice, super compassionate that I talked to. She said the symptoms suggest that it is likely a brain tumor.
I can't get the MRI -It is $2200 just for that. Plus the consult on top of it. It is not that he is not worth it - he is, I Just don't have it.
So it looks like my time left with my Wishbone is limited. Of course, it is not up to me. This is one of the only times in my life thinking of Christmas has failed to cheer me. I have held him several times today and hugged him tight and told him how much I love him.
Anyway, I am not sure how much I will be here for a few days not that it matters but I guess I just wanted to let you all know.
Well, it is time for me to start working. Have a good rest of Memorial Day, Christmas family. xo

Just for the record, I thought of GA several times today. Hurry back, friend.
I'm so sorry CM3. I can't imagine getting that news about my puppy. I'll be praying for you and little Wishbone.
If only I were rich, I would pay for the MRI and treatment. Thinking of you during this time.

So sorry, Caninemom. That's as rough as it comes. I pray for Wishbone's comfort, poor little guy.
I was out tonight a bit with the kids and with Sam, our 10-year old border collie and my nine year old, Emma, asked me if I thought Sam was going to die soon.
It came out of the blue. I've come to expect such questions from my kids because we've dealt so much with death and mortality these past two years. Still, I was a little surprised.
Though Sam is still very much puppy-like we've all noticed some subtle changes in him. He absolutely refuses, for example, to go out in the rain and if it is even slightly cold outside he resists. When he was little he couldn't wait to get outside, he was so bursting full of energy. Somewhere around here I have a picture of him blazing a trailing in about 16 inches of new fallen snow, all you could see was this tail wagging from side to side, throwing perfect Utah powder in all directions. Now if he so much as sees a flake he doesn't give it a second glance.
So while I tried to explain to Emma that Sam was getting older and aged differently than humans do she interrupted me to say that she will be sad to see him die but that she knew God would take him right away to heaven, no questions asked.
I asked her how she knew that and she explained that God put all kinds animals on the ark but just a few humans. To her, that meant God had few problems with animals and she was sure Sam would be waiting for us when we die.
From the mouths of babes....
Good evening,
I have been so confused all day, I kept thinking it was Sunday all day. I am feeling a bit tired, I was tucking LC in bed tonight and after I finished reading him his story, I fell asleep, my wife came in and laughed saying did you know LC is out here playing? One more day off for me, just LC and I tomorrow, since daycare is closed so I will be trying to keep us busy and cool.
I hope everyone had good weekend.
May Christmas sights and twinkle lights fill your dreams tonight. :sparkle:

Congratulations and welcome back!
I'm so sorry, caninemom. It's so hard when our pets are sick and we can't communicate the way we'd like to with them. Find comfort knowing that Wishbone knows how much you love him and take advantage of the time you DO still have together.... let him eat his favorite foods, snuggle on the couch and watch some Christmas movies, and take lots of pictures!
Big hugs!
Big hugs!
Good Morning MMC !
As I type I am sitting in my back yard enjoying the cool of the morning before the heat arrives. Having a chat with my neighbour, listening to the neighbourhood wake up. There is robin on the fence watching me, the trees rustling in the breeze, clear blue sky. A morning dove cooing on the hydro wire. my cat angry with me for having the nerve to tie her up!
Hope you all have a fantastic day!!!
