....I can't believe I made it to Friday. I want to lock the door & sleep the weekend away. Who else is sleep deprived from this week?

Reply

me! And if any of you would say a prayer for me I would appreciate it. I think I had maybe a couple of hours of sleep last night. Received some emotionally upsetting news last night. May I not look like I have been bawling all night when my kidos arrive Thanks

Thanks Scout. Praying everyone has a great day and that the weather holds out so we can go outside and play! So far this morning one of my mom's let me know her dd would not be here (she told me at pick up that was a possibility) one mom hasn't gotten here yet... and my other chickie won't be here until 10. So I will only have 3 kidlets today. And I have had time to drink my cup of coffee in peace this morning.

Called mom that was late to see if I had the time wrong or if she overslept... overslept was so glad I called. Guess I have at least another 30 minutes of quiet

I've actually got more rest this week than normal because my three sibling set had Monday and Tuesday off yay. I worked the weekend though.

Late yesterday afternoon I had to run up town for a few things so we took our two small dogs who haven't gotten to ride in a week or so. We got done with our errands and was coming out of the gas station at the busy main intersection up in our town, and running across the intersection was a tiny two to three week old kitten. She was alone. No mom no siblings. Nothing. I couldn't leave her there to be killed so I stopped and parked the car and managed to trap it in a corner and grabbed her. After we got her in the car I saw an abcess hike in her neck.

She is nothing but skin and bones. So we got her home and fed her and I out a big glob of neosporin and a gauze pad and wrapped her gently in gauze. A hour later I went in there to check on her (she's in my daughters room so she can be nursed back to health by my resident animal whisperer) and I see the tip of a wolf worm coming out of the hole for air.

Gross yes. But so much better news than a horrible abcess right over her trachea. The air hole was tiny and in a bad location so I called my vet a few minutes ago, she said bring her on it, they'd pull it out without charging an office visit. Give her a round of oral antibiotics and shed be good to go. We are also going to do a fecal test and a blood test to be sure she's healthy.

My wallet breathed a sigh of relief.

She's been officially named Rosie. And after some canned food, a bandage, and some TLC she's purring like an engine. She's calm. And she's doing all the expected bodily functions via a litter box.

Here is her picture after her bandage.

I'm kind of an odd duck...I only sleep 4-5 hours every night.

I HATE sleeping. I stay up really late and get up really early and haven't napped since I was a toddler.

Hoping you sleep better this weekend though.

Awwww!!!

I secretly wish I could nap! I would be up all night if I did. My mind also goes 300mph at any given time moment.

and lots of positive thoughts and prayers. Take care of YOURSELF. And vent when you need to!!

Sending good thoughts your way.

Im exhausted too. I still haven't recovered from the 4th of july weekend. We had A LOT of family visit so it was hectic. On top of being exhausted I caught a cold which I will be fighting this weekend.

I have promised myself that this cold will NOT drag down my weekend.

Me too! My oldest daughter is moving out of state today (she is only 20 and has never been out of state), with her military boyfriend. My youngest daughter (just turned 19) informed us she is moving out with her boyfriend. I can't sleep and I am an emotional wreck....crying at the drop of a dime. I knew the children would eventually grow up and Hubby and I would be alone but it is all happening too fast.

Hope you were able to enjoy the little extra time in the morning.

I too am ready for the weekend. I've had a screaming, fit throwing, body flailing 11 month old for the past few weeks and am hoping he outgrows it really soon!

I am actually doing really well. Kidlets were really good this morning. Eating lunch and then it is naptime!
Thanks you all.

I understand the tears.

Tell the daughter's BF thank you for his service! My youngest is military & currently on mission in an undisclosed location.

I am tired too! Has not been a bad week, I am just wiped out-

yikes this is me too

I will. We are a BIG military family. My Father, Grandfather and Uncles were all in service. My youngest son is in the Army, my oldest daughter's boyfriend is in the Army and my youngest daughter's boyfriend is an Ex-Marine. I grew up an Army Brat so I know the ropes, I just didn't expect both of my daughters to date military men too. Lol

I know you are missing your son. And the worry. My son has orders to deploy to Iraq in February, I haven't seen him in 2 years.

Tell your son Thank You for his service.

Sorry to hear - hugs & prayers to you!
