A Hard Day...

I had been meaning to post about happier news such as Eyes saying her first word last weekend (it was Baby by the way) but instead I have had a crushing blow dealt to my heart instead. Due to our finances we were unable to get our cat who has diabetes back in to see the vet like Queen Pet had strongly recommended we do after Eyes' birthday last month. So instead she offered to take her down to the Animal Clinic that she works at. We took her up on her offer and sent the cat down with her last week.

Today is the last day we are going to be spending with the cat because after everything has been said and done she is going to have to be Euthanized. Yes I am using a Capital letter for that word and yes it really hurts. According to Queen Pet the Animal Clinic she works at was aghast at the state of my cat (which made me feel like an absolute heel and horrible pet owner) and even more shocked and concerned over the file that the clinic we had taken her to had sent down to them. Apparently the diagnosis from one was radically different than the other and Queen Pet is strongly recommending to me to stay away from the one I had originally gone to. Especially since the first clinic was not quite so diligent in filling out and signing some important paperwork.

So the kids know what is going to happen to the cat (Smiles is home sick today anyways) and we have told them crying is okay. We all will miss her. Hubby is strangely really upset about this and not handling it well. Me? The easiest is to say I'll live but don't be surprised if you see me with red eyes in the near future.

The only other significant news is that my brother must be really desperate to have me play WoW since he not only bought me a time card but also got me the expansion for it. He really wants someone to be able to play with his wife when she's home alone all day. Of course I also think he just wants to be nice to his little sister. Sigh! So I can drown my grief by killing things in an on-line game for awhile (as long as the baby is not awake! I am not that horrible of a mother!). Anyways I have done some baking, I made banana muffins, but not the cookies or bars that I have been wanting to make for awhile now. The kids though got to go to Auntie Ski's place this weekend to help with making and decorating cookies and stayed overnight there. Other than that yeah we see what else will happen this Christmas season!
