Smorgasbord

I've been to busy to blog.

I hate it that I don't have much time this year to blog.

I miss reading everyone's blogs on a daily basis.

February's Bunko theme was Mardi Gras.

I made Shawna & I funky Tutu's and John made me the mask I'm wearing.

We ate yummy cajun food and laughed a lot & screamed a lot. I didn't win, again...maybe March will be my lucky time. You are never to old to play dress up! :)

My precious daughters, Tori & Meg. This was taken at a "Cool Shoes" party. It's a party where college age kids go and dance....Tori's boyfriend, Nick, usually DJ's at them. I stole this picture off of their facebook. We have had several dinner dates with them this past month. It's been very nice.

We had to take Ben Ben to the vet a couple weeks ago. He had a horrible seizure. He couldn't open his mouth to meow, his tongue was hanging out, he tried to walk but after 3 steps he would fall over, he ended up drifting into a comatose stat....he was very lethargic. Dr. Lewis ran several test (kept him overnight) he said Ben Ben never came out of the self induced coma all night. He didn't even have to sedate him to draw blood. So we were waiting for all the results to come back (they had to send some off) We did know that he had an ear infection and in that same ear he has polyps. They were pretty sure he had a brain tumor. :( I wasn't buying this tumor business. The doc wanted to send us to a Vet neurologist so Ben Ben could get a CT scan that would cost $1,000!!! Um, NO! Because if he did have a tumor they would confirm it and I'd have to spend more money to put him to sleep. If he didn't then, YAY here's my $$. I love him but come on...that's ridiculous. So we picked him up along with a 7 day course of antibiotics and $468.00 lighter in the pocketbook.

3 days into the antibiotics Ben Ben came alive.....he was like 10 years younger again. (he's about 13 yrs. old) he was jumping up on the couch....even jumped on the bathroom counter which he has never done before! He is running around the yard with Reeses. You can tell he feels
SO MUCH BETTER!!!!


All the test came back normal!! Doc said he was a healthy cat and it is possible that the ear infection put some swelling around the brain and caused the seizures. So I think he was having the seizures because of that stupid ear infection! I know it's not a brain tumor! Doc put him on another round of antibiotics and will remove the polyps soon.

Really?!

I've had a terrible week thus far....

My email has been messed up....so we are in the process of moving e-mails and eventually we will delete our classicnet accounts.

I got pulled over on my way to work this morning. Got a ticket with 2 offenses on it. One for speeding....40 in a 25....I swear I did not know that the speed limit dropped to 25 from 50....I've been driving that route for 12 years. I'm pretty sure it drops after the light (i'll check tomorrow) The second one was for failure to stop at the red light...Um, Mr. Policeman, I did NOT fail to stop at the red light!! The light was green and as I went through it it turned red! There is a law that says NOT to brake...to continue on so there is no rear end accidents. Why would you write a ticket saying I failed to stop? I go to court on the 25th to fight this......if it goes on my record it's 9 points towards my CDL license....if I receive 14 I can kiss my CDL bye bye and there goes my job as a bus driver! I am pretty confident the judge will be understanding and agree with me. I was so careful driving home this afternoon!

I had a 6 year old cuss me out on my bus. 6 years old!! He said words I didn't even know until I was in my 20's! He is a foster child....It made me sad writing him up.....the things that child must have seen and heard to learn words like that just broke my heart! Seriously, I can't even type what he said it's so foul....I'm still flabbergasted that those words came out of a 6 year olds mouth.

Things can only go up from here.......I hope!

The King

Buttons and patches and the cold wind blowing, The days pass quickly when I am sewing.

Reeses is the King of the castle....especially now that he has his own quilt.
