Feelin’ Good!

Filed Under: Me

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone! It has really lifted my spirits to log on and see your notes. The past few days have been long since Sean went out of town but my family has really been great. My mom and sister have taken turns staying with me and helping me out with the boys. I haven’t been able to do much more than hang out on the sofa and having my mom here has been such a blessing! I don’t feel any pain but man, am I tired! Sean will be back on Friday and I’m really looking forward to that.

We’ve been obsessed with watching the election news and stayed up late last night to watch Obama sweep the Potomac Primaries. I’ll keep my political views to myself because I’m not trying to be controversial but it sure was exciting to see him win. He’s such an inspiring person!

The boys have been really good and have only butted heads a couple of times. Iain has been playing a lot of video games, mostly Pokemon Diamond and My Sims for DS and Ryan has been making his own videos and playing with his Mario and Luigi toys. Ryan has a birthday coming up in March so he’s been combing the internet for gift ideas, too. I can’t believe my BABY is going to be 6 years old in a few weeks! Time goes by so fast and thank goodness they’re both here with me so I don’t miss a minute of that precious time with them.

Hopefully this afternoon, I will be able to take some time and catch up on everyone’s blogs. I can’t wait to read about what you all have been up to!

    So good to see you are not in pain, and you have your family around to help you.
    The boys sound like they are doing great, and Wow! A six year old, sniff!
    Oh, and Obama is great, I feel a change coming!-K

    Hey MamaK! Oh lord, it’s so good to actually feel up enough to comment back!

    The boys have been doing well, considering. I think they’re starting to feel a little stir crazy because we’ve been cooped up here for days. Sean’s been gone since Sunday and won’t be back until Friday night so when he gets home, I’m going to get him to take them out!

    You know, I voted Republican in the last two elections, and democrat in the two before that. Now that I homeschool, I’m afraid to vote democrat because I really don’t feel the democrats are supportive of it, but I do really like Obama. Sometimes I would swear that I can hear a little voice inside my head saying, “Yes we can!”

    Hi Evie!

    I had a dream last night that you called me early in the morning and asked me to come visit you and I said, “Sure!”

    It is good to see you back here. As you can tell I have been totally slack on my blog. I will catch up sometime soon, I hope.

    I am still hoping that Ron Paul can work some kind of miracle……

    Hey Marin! Hope you guys are doing well!

    It’s hard to get back to blogging when you haven’t done it for a while isn’t it?

    Ahhh, Ron Paul. He has actually scaled back his presidential campaign to focus on his congressional run.

    How are your classes going?

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry, not sorry. Christmas is my favorite season Sorry, not sorry. Christmas is my favorite season and I’m getting a jump on decorating this year.

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
