what was the greatest thing that happened to you in the past 7 days? I had some good new from Sarita- she auditioned today for a Christmas musical and got a part, plus they want to sign her for their agency!!!!!! get the positivity flowing, tell me, what was your most amazing thing this week?
Gee I wonder..... okay you know the mammogram so I'll say my youngest son got a job where they are going to cross train him so they can employ him full time!
Congrats to Sarita! That is awesome! I haven't had a bad week or anything but nothing is really standing out as amazing.
That is so awesome for Sarita! Woo-hoo! I think the best thing that happened to me was my hubby let me stay home one evening so I could play in my art journal and he took the boys to all their soccer practices.
Yeah!!! That is AWESOME news!! Nothing can fill a mom with joy like her child having her dreams fulfilled!! The highlight of our week was having our 2 1/2 year old with us for the weekend. I dont know who had more fun!
It's been a tough week. I'm not sure I have anything, but I'm a Pollyanna at heart. Looking at the big picture, it's Wednesday, not Monday, and since it is raining, I'm thinking today's soccer practice will be cancelled. I need a break this week. Plus, tonight's homework cannot be as bad as last night's 5 hour marathon for my 5th grader.
What exciting news, she must be over the moon! Tate's football team played the best rated team in the league and tied the score. We were pretty pumped about that!
Great news for Sarita and also Carilyn for your son!! nothing really happening so far this week but I have a movie lunch date with Hubby on Friday to see Martian
I have a phone interview for a job in Florida that I really want at 2 pm today. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
Tomorrow I've got a interior design consultation scheduled- looking forward to helping a friend with her furniture arrangements! I have a degree in interior design but haven't worked in the field in a few years. Tomorrow is also my sweet baby girl's 11th birthday-- I can't believe she is getting so grown up!
Yay for the positives!! My good news this week is that my cat is alive. Last Tuesday, she was so sick, the vet gave me no hope, and actually told me to taker her home, let everyone say goodbye, and then bring her back to put her to sleep. She is a small Persian cat and only 16 months old. On Sunday she was fine, but by Tuesday, she'd suddenly lost about 25% of her body weight, was dehydrated and was almost cold to the touch. She wasn't vomiting or having any diarrhea, but her blood levels were critically low. The vet said she'd need a blood transfusion and/or a miracle or she wouldn't make it. Of course we couldn't afford the several thousand dollars he said we'd need to pay, AND he said that since he didn't know what was wrong with her, that it wasn't a guarantee that she'd survive that. I was crying so hard. I took her home, but refused to give up and have her put to sleep. I just knew she'd get better. I even went to the library and checked out a book on energy healing for animals (which seemed totally insane to me). I kept her with me and warm and didn't let her out of my sight. I kept my hand on her all night while we slept to make sure she was still breathing. On Wednesday, I took her for a ride in the car (she likes the car) and we sat in the sunshine for a couple of hours. I talked to her and gave her as much love as possible. At some point in the car, she stretched, meowed and was hungry. And this week, she's better. She's still anemic, but she's active, eating/drinking, and healing. We took her to another vet yesterday, he was surprised at how strong she was. He did blood work and said it had improved from the numbers last week even though it still isn't at "normal." He didn't see any abnormalities (like auto-immune) in her blood, and thought that she was looking good. He wants us to bring her back next week to check and see if things are normal, but he suspects she will be. He didn't have an answer to what was wrong with her since it wasn't leukemia or auto-immune. I'm just going to take my little miracle and love every moment.
well...how did the interview go!!?? I cant wait to hear!! Where in Florida?? Could we possibly be scrapping neighbors soon??
So excited for you and Sarita!! I'd have to say that the best thing in the last 7 days was a packed, busy, but super fun weekend with my husband. I was exhausted by Sunday night but it was well worth it!
Oh my goodness, so much has happened! I start a new job today, and had a fabulous girls weekend away with some great friends last weekend. But the week before that was even more awesome. My husband was on a quiz show on TV and won some money!
yes!!!! we are so happy!!!! I do have weeks in which nothing particularly great happens.... but lately, even a little thing like : " you do not need to come to the surgery anymore to clean the wound" is outstanding LOL
send him a big hugg from me!!!!!! I need to catch up with your gallery.... this weekend will be my gallery weekend!!!! yours is always one I treasure!!!!
you know, one of my recurrent prayers, is that God gives me time to see her with a family and to be old enough to see my grandchildren.... I had Sarita when I was 37, I turned 38 before she was 1, so sometimes, especially with so many health conditions...I feel scared that I wont make it.... she says she doesn't want to marry young, she wants to be over 28.... and with a career,. I don't blame her...but I would really really love to see my grandchildren. A few of my God Daughters have kids, one of them, who is like a daughter to me, the kids call me Vo Cynthia (GRanny Cynthia) I love them all to bits, also my friends kids' kids and my cousin's kids'kids but still...I'm quiet sure it will be a whole new heart with Sarita's own
