Proud Owner of a 1,200 Dollar 3 Legged Cat

Pawlie had his surgery today. Well this afternoon actually. There was bad nerve damage, so that the dr. said we might the right choice with amputation rather than reconstruction (which was unaffordable anyway) He got the leg off, and sewed him all back up.

 I am not sure what Tim and I were expecting, but when they brought Pawlie out to us (he comes home today w/ pain meds) we both started to cry. The insision is HUGE 26 staples I do believe, the entire lower half of his body is shaved and he just looks pitiful... It was hard to take in.

 So Pawlie is home now, not feeling great. He has eaten a bit of food, but he is in a lot of pain... They said the first 2 days are the worst. So hopefully this will be over for him soon. Poor kitty.

    Chris would have taken him out back and put a bullet in his head. There is no way we would have spent that much money on an animal. Would I like the outcome? No...but...we don't have that kind of money for that either.

    Well we do not have a gun, its illigal to shoot one inside city limits... and I had already taken him to the ER vet (no other choice that late) to the tune of 600.00 So it was at that point now, spend 650.00 to put him down... Or 1200 and he can continue to live a happy mostly normal life. I would have regretted spending 600 on nothing but killing him more than 1200 on saving him.

    The only reason we can afford it is its nearly tax time and the CC does nto charge interest for a year. So we will pay it off w/ taxes. :)

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
