Been Awhile...

I didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted. Oops.

In the past couple of weeks we have also adopted a sickly kitten, who is now THRIVING and always ready to battle. She may just now be six weeks old. This picture is misleading because she is actually very tiny. Jack has named her Flower. This is a good illustration of Catfish's absolute fascination with her. Chicka is adjusting well also, we are getting much much better about going to the potty where the humans WANT us to go to the potty.

And then this weekend Jack got sick! He and Mike went Cub Scout camping Fri night and Jack had a blast running through the woods and playing football with some very sweet and patient 4th graders. Kids at this school are mostly sweet and patient. Then Saturday they came home and we had FEVER all that day and Sunday. It didn't break until Monday morning.

Friday night was fun for Em, though. I got some brie, fruit, and bagel chips and watched Oprah's from the past two weeks. I am all in the know now about sun damage, Australia, and other shit that just drains out of my brain. I did write down some stuff from the Dr. Oz show though.

Today is my parents' anniversary! Yay! 41 years together.

And I missed Tracie's birthday completely. :( She turned a year betta on Saturday and I thought about her Saturday, Sunday and Monday; but only starting repairing the damage today.

Here's the pathetic poem I emailed her earlier to blatently suck up...

A Birthday Poem to Affirm that I Can't Get Through This Life Without You

If someone wrote me a mean email and then hit send...
If I got sued and my actions I could not defend...
If my margarita mix and ice failed to blend...
If I gained 20 more pounds and it went straight to my already bulbous rear-end...
If all my clothes simultaneously were no longer the trend...
If I became incontinent and had to wear a Depend...
If I got fired and my only source of income was to turn tricks and bartend...
AND if FOX News announced the world was coming to an end...
I would still be a grateful girl because T IS MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE SUCKY DUCKY!
