I Am Happy Today Because . . .

[Neesy]

I am happy today because I have a wonderful man that I love so much. My better half was and met my parents today. Everything went well
and my mom especially liked him so much. She told me afterwards that I have to hold tightly onto him now, she meant that don't let
this dream prince run away from you. Oh so happy happy. Sorry that I all the time talk about him and how wonderful he is, I just can't help it.
Please forgive me for that.

So happy for you - just give him some rope, so to speak - hmmm - now he sounds like a horse! (You know what I mean). He is so cute! I saw his picture and the two of you make a lovely couple!

p.s. do you both share the same interests?

I missed something. What's going on?

You are too kind! You didn't miss anything-I occasionally let my guard down and sporadically talk about something personal here. It seems to be happening more and more all the time... I have a 15 year old dog named Sadie. She has had health problems for the past 7 years. Pancreatitis, colitis, IBD, chronic anal gland issues...It might sound like I'm one of those dog owners who keeps their pets alive out of selfishness, but believe it or not-my girl has more good days than bad. I'm trying to keep the "quality" aspect a priority even though it's excruciating to think about having to make that decision at some point. I beg God all the time to let her move on when she's ready so I don't have to make that call. Anyway...for the last three months (?) or so, she's had recurring UTI infections. The first time they thought it was gone, only to have it return with a vengeance several weeks later with her urinating blood for two straight days. She was on antibiotics for three weeks and had probably half a dozen urinalysis tests run in that time. Finally last week, tests were clear of blood, red & white blood cells, crystals, etc. I've been testing her urine at home and a few days ago the strips showed a possibility of blood again. Had the vet test a sample yesterday and they did find a trace of blood, but I gave her an extra dose of her anti-inflammatory med as recommended by her vet and today the blood was gone! I just have to stay on top of the testing, since everything can change in a moment's time. I was given "worst-case scenario" many times-always a possibility of the "C" word in her bladder, glands, etc. Fact is, I would never put her through chemo or any of that anyway-and since there is nothing outside of that I'm not doing right now anyway...Most people don't understand those of us who consider our pets as family-just as important as a human being and a life worth fighting for. I read somewhere that when you save someone, you become responsible for that life. I rescued her and will not give up just because it's too expensive or inconvenient. When I lost my husband, my mother-in-law, and my father, she was the only thing that made me get out of bed every day-made me concentrate on something other than my own pain. I rescued her and she's saved me time and time again. Until it is not in her best interest, I will continue to fight with her and for her-she's the closest thing to an angel I've ever known.

No not exactly. He was and see my horse and my doggies. Yes he is a animal lover, he have two cats. Everyday when I am with him, begins to feel that
he is the right one.

Oh man! Do I understand the love of a pet. They are family. They are just pure love and we want to keep them. I would never judge a family member for their chosen course of action. No one is walking in your shoes and seeing Sadie's day to day life. You will know if you have to make that decision, and I hope you don't have too and when it is her time, she moves to the next great adventure. I wish you both wonderful healthy days ahead.

I am happy today because my 2 best friends Erika and Marcy come over to visit yesterday and it was great because i have not seen them in ages & they are stopping over today as well.

I am happy today because kids just got home from last day of school. They each had a certificate for perfect attendance 2nd semester. Ali had one for her reading and writing, Ty one for completing 1st grade. Evan had one for improving his writing skills and he got the President's Education Award certificate and pin for Outstanding Academic Excellence.

Pretty proud of them all for working hard!

I am far from happy, but at least satisfied with the results... You all know I haven't been here for awhile, always busy in my work, so that I did not have time to come here even for a few minutes, I have been coming late from work for the last two weeks... And this has not been fun, I thought I would try and find a new job, as it's impossible to live with such a treatment of directors and such small salaries. But yesterday my boss told me he is going to raise my salary. Not exactly the amount I would like to have for the amount of work I do, but better than it was before. So, I guess it's okay, at least for awhile. And I hope that since today things will get less crazy and I will have a chance to be here with you more often!
