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. :)

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 L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
