Miss Kitty

While we were able to stick to the plan yesterday and do everything I wanted to, we also suffered a tragedy.  Our little Miss Kitty died.  She had been sick about a month back and we thought that was the end for her but somehow she bounced back.  For a couple of weeks she was great.  She was awesome.  But then she started to look sick again.  This time, she seemed much worse.

She layed around and slept most of the day and night, only getting up to eat and use the litter box.  She disappeared for a day down in our garage and we thought maybe she was looking for a quiet place to pass.  She re-surfaced and we took her back upstairs and layed her on her favorite blanket.  That's pretty much where she stayed until the end.

I had some hope because after 2 days of not eating she decided to eat again.  But then when we kept finding her asleep in her litter box we knew she was not going to make it.  So, sadly, we found her yesterday after church on her favorite blanket.  She was only around 10 years old.

She was a wonderful cat.  My husband brought her home from work one day, saying she was a stray that kept coming to him while he was at work.  She really only liked him at first.  She was very shy and tried so hard to get out of the house all of the time.  Eventually she warmed up to me but she was still very skiddish.  She didn't like any other people and she kept to herself most of the time.  We weren't very clever or original back then so we had no idea what to name her so she just became Kitty.

The past few years she had come out of her shell.  She began to play more, she would jump up on the arm of the couch and nudge us until we pet her, she let others pet her.  She really became an awesome and loveable cat. 

I'm so sad that she is no longer with us and I can only hope that she didn't suffer.  I can only hope that she knew how much we loved her and that we always tried to give her the best home.  My husband and I are total animal people and we treat our animals like children.  I really hope she felt like one of our children. 

Rest in Peace my little Kitty cat.  Momma loves you!

Her favorite spot to lay, on the back of the couch.  I don't even know how many pictures we have with her in the background!

We bought this huge pet bed for our black lab but Kitty claimed it!

Isn't she the cutest little thing?!

Curled up with her boyfriend, Joey, who is still with us.

Kitty is survived by her boyfriend, Joey, 12, her 2 brothers, Camo and Utley and her sister, Katie.  My awesome husband spent the eve of his first Father's Day burying our little cat so I wouldn't have to.  Thanks for taking care of her and not making fun of me when I cried.

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
