Cat Burgular!

The kitty looooves Caleb... she always "checks" on him while he's in his crib.

Caleb was supposed to be taking a nap, but when I went to check on him, I discovered that he had a visitor!



This is what I found in the middle of the night!!

Cancer SUCKS!

Just a short while ago I learned that Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning. She died of anal cancer. Im in such a mood right now... it makes me so ANGRY. Another senseless death chalked up to the "Big C". Cancer doesnt care if you're pretty, old, skinny, rich, poor, mean or wonderful. It doesnt care about what you do or how you impact others... it just comes and takes and takes and takes. It takes whoever or whatever it wants to without regard. I HATE it. I really freaking hate it.

Medical Science has truly come a long way, but it amazes me to no end that there isnt more that can be done for cancer. I know for everyone a cure just isnt possible, but it SHOULD be. It seems like it should be able to be handled with a prescription or something, just like an other general illness. I know it cant be that simple, Im not naive, yes I realize there are so many different types of cancer, different treatments, etc, but Im just angry.. enraged in fact. Gah.

One in every THREE women, and one in every TWO men will hear the words "You have cancer" at some point in their life. Thats entirely TOO many people. And it has a ripple effect... that means in all actuality every person in the world will be touched by cancer in one way or another in their lifetime. We have to stop it and together, we WILL. I hope everyone will do what they can to fight this disease and raise awareness.

same ole... same ole...

No real new updates to deliver!

Things are the same.. busy all the time, but thankfully school is almost over! We have one ball game left and Savannah's pre-k class is going to the zoo tommorrow. Im a little nervous about that, and wasnt going to send her, but she begged to go! So she is, WITHOUT me, but she'll be with a chaperone she loves :)(Ill have a sick tummy all day long)

Hannah scored a perfect score on her math sol - a 600. SHe missed one of her history/social studies sol and got a 598. She did remarkably well on her english/reading and science sols as well. She is one smart kid!

Ella is all of a sudden a big kid... her vocbaulary and the way she speaks is changing dramatically. She reminds me so much of Hannah when Hannah was small, I think she's going to be extremely intelligent like her biggest sister!

Im thinking of getting a small part time job. Im considering calling about it today. B is kind of against it, but Im tired of struggling all the time and me juggling money and revamping budgets isnt really cutting it anymore. But, with a decrease in our insurance premium, hopefully B will be getting a promotion (please, LORD, please) that would take affect on July 1 and me have a small job... I cant get us into much better shape again :)

Im a little dissapointed in some things that I wont go into right now... hopefully Ill get through my little funk without causing any problems. I just want things to be easier.. less stressful. I think I need to realize that no matter how hard I try, or how much I want to.. I cant be everything to everybody all of the time. Im trying to learn to live with that, although its hard.

I hope all of YOU are well! ♥

New friends...

These are our newest friends.. Midnight & Hera. My Dad rescued these kitties the night after rescuing Lucky. Thankfully, these kitties are a bit bigger and we were able to teach them to drink milk from a bowl fairly easily. Ive found a nice home for Midnight (complete with big brother kitty!), but we are going to keep Hera. We've never been "cat" people, and litter boxes dont appeal to me, so we're only keeping one. I probably couldve been talked into both, but not B. We'll see how it goes!

We chose the name Hera (a greek goddess) because our mutt is Apollo.. stick with the tradition, I suppose.
