February.2/14
Evening.......
How was everyone's week? It's finally February and according to the groundhog, Spring is coming early!! GIGGITY GIGGITY!!! February also means that Emma turns another year older!! Only 22 days until she turns 9.... going on 29 that is!! LOL!! Anyway, things are getting better, and more settled around the house. It's been a crazy few weeks with everything that happened surrounding our fur baby, but things seem like they're trying to get back to normal.........Whatever normal is.
It was a week of just being blah! I went to school, but totally didn't want to be there! And not because I don't want to learn. Just being over tired with having to get up super early and get the house ready for he day. It gets exhausting after a while, especially when my hubby was working twenty something days without a day off. He finally got that on Friday, and he took the rest of this weekend off, so it was a very relaxing three days. He's been sleeping a lot, but I'm not complaining!
So I didn't do much in the span of last week. I went to donate blood on Friday morning, as they are apparently crying for O and A blood. Being A+, I went in, went through the whole screening process, which took an hour. Checked my glucose, my iron levels, blood pressure, etc, and when we get to the part where you answer a bunch of questions, the lady tells me that b/c I am still being tested for Crohns Disease, I am unable to give blood.................. EVER............ This kind of pissed me off, b/c I was asked the question, do you have Crohns, Cancer, etc, over the phone when I made the appointment, and they asked me before I went to see the nurse. In all the people I spoke to, not one person felt to mention that, resulting in a waste of my time!!! I think the only thing I hate, is that I absolutely dislike being told I can't do something!!! And it's one of those times where I can't prove it wrong by doing it!! Booo
Anyway, Friday afternoon, I gathered the kids up (They had a day off from school.... Professional Development Day...... AGAIN), and we went to Mom and Dads. Emma said she wanted to see where Poppy had laid Daisy to rest, and so off we go down the field. I show her where she's laying and I explain to her why she's laid the way she is and what it would have meant to her. We shared tears, to which Nikki says , "Maybe we shouldn't talk about it!" I told the girls both how very important it was to express their feelings and to not bottle it up inside. I told them it would only make them a stronger person by doing so.
Off we go back to the house, and I get geared up to blow the snow that drifted into the drive way, and then haul in the wood that we had packed on the truck a week or so prior. We can only take so much into the house now, b/c Sweetums is in the porch day and night, with the exception of going outside to do his business. After we get everything done, it was almost supper time. Sweetums came in the house and I gave him his usual treat of crackers with peanut butter. This was odd to me, b/c I'm so used to getting enough treats for two dogs. Needless to say, we keep a close eye on our boy, and of course he's spoiled rotten, as usual.
Yesterday, it was a balmy -2 degrees, and well.....for here.... that's short weather!!! I even broke out my flip flops!! We gathered the girls up, and we went for lunch as a family. Seems like we haven't done anything family related in forever!! After that,we went to Momma McEwens for a visit. We haven't seen or talked to her since the start of January. It was great to visit ad relax.
Well..................seeing as how there isn't much to talk about, I'll end it here! I have to say, y'all are super awesome for reading these!!
*Remember, it's better to have love and lost, than to not love at all*
