It looks like cancer has returned. She will have a biopsy Monday.
I keep thinking I need to write more on this blog I am just not sure what to write about at the moment….

May she be at peace.

It is tough being a bored five year old but tougher to be the mom of said bored five year old.

I am not ready for Peanut to start Kindergarten but I bet he is.

Helping my mom has not made me a better person.

This house, like any, is going to be a work in progress.

I hate works in progress.

We are going to Legoland!

I can’t wait to drink a cold beer on the beach.

My mom is in the hospital and will more than likely have to go to a long-term care facility once she is discharged. So we are looking for a loving home for her cat since she will be unable to care for him any longer. Rascal is a white short hair with brown and black markings. He seems to be a fairly mellow cat. He is almost 7 years old, has all of his shots, and still has his front claws. I honestly don’t know if he would do well with other cats. I know he is very lonely right now as he is cooped up in my mom’s tiny apartment for a week now. I would hate for him to go to the Humane Society so I thought I would try here first.

Update: It looks like my mom is going home afterall so we will not be needing a home for Rascal. Thanx to everyone who offered to help find a home :)

When Peanut was in the hospital he had crashed and I clearly remember a prayer chain being started and not too long after Peanut became better. I do believe it was more than coincidence.
My new BIL started feeling ill a day or so ago. He went to Urgent Care and his heart is not pumping well and he will get a pacemaker put in today. He is in his 30s and he is a good person. So please pray to whatever god/force you believe in. I truly beleive prayer works!

Things have been crazy busy so here goes:

Happy Birthday Lil Bro :)

My mom is certifiable.

Peanut is growing up so fast.

I love our new home.

The outside of the house looks great.

The roof is fixed.

Midnite is doing okay.

I am so not impressed with President Obama.

Banks’ Use for Bailout Fund Kept Top Secret

Seriously, is no one upset about this?

My question is: what can I do as an ordinary citizen to protest this? This is NOT okay.

There have been a few minor hang ups and now we are waiting on another appraisal on the home. This could or could not change things. We have to close by the 19th or the bank who owns the property starts charging us a daily fee. Sweet. The market has certainly changed. Slack and I have really good credit and we are not in debt up to our eyeballs (well, once we get the house that changes hahaha) and still we have struggled to get a decent loan. The good loans are out there it has just been significantly harder to secure one as opposed to 5 years ago. It has been really hard to not be able to decorate for Christmas and bake goodies. I know this is of our own making so I will not say anything more :) .

Slack’s uncle (Tito Rudy) passed away this weekend. He had cancer and he passed away peacefully at home. I am so sorry for his family and I am glad he had some extra time. Slack will be a pallbearer in his uncle’s funeral on the day we are supposed to close on the house and the same day as Peanut’s birthday.

We are thinking we will celebrate Peanut’s birthday the day after and move in some time after that. So many things up in the air right now. The lack of a clear plan is driving me totally insane. I am a planner and to just go with the flow tests me like nothing else.

It will all work out and it is what it is, yes? :)
