Goodbye baby boy.

"As I write this, our house is so quiet. There is no rushing to potty a little boy (who pees like a girl), no whimpering or barking because I'm on the other side of a door, and no need to make sure food is pushed way back on the island...just silence. However, I did have a mess to clean up this morning as everyone babied Miss Chloe and fed her too many treats while I was gone. Poor girl, we all miss him terribly.

Just because

Sunny guarding the flowers Dane brought me last night.

Kahuna eating said flowers

He's such a little weirdo!

FYI, that is Groot lying next to him. He'll snuggle with him after he's done bathing himself in the window for the world to see.

She's so little!

Yinn & Yang

She's Emo and short, he's happy and tall. Hey, kinda like Dane and I!

Mom's everywhere!

I've shrunk down to 115 recently due to family stress, yet as I sit here in my mom's hospital room I feel guilty that I'm not home. She's been laid up for 5 days, and 4 days ago was one of MY worst days this year. I can't stand the summer heat and the day before she was admitted for pancreatitis pain, there was a cluster of bad events ranging from serious adult kid issues to critters driving me bat sh*t crazy!

I made this sign and taped it to our door leading upstairs because both the puppy and one of our cats pees on the upstairs landing. Those who know our family understand this causes some OCD upsets!

It's a cool 68 degrees in this room and the thought of making the trek back through heated traffic and my foot walking through the front door is daunting. I love my house, family, and critters, but sometimes it feels good to just sit and breathe. Another thing to thank my mom...DINNER is DONE! I snipped some of her famous leftover chili, Dane and I are off the hook for dinner! I just pray that she gets through this and back to being grandma the great!
