I'm headed for bed, too. Catch you all later...

Uh oh! I'm gonna have to talk to myself tonight!!

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Again, everyone is so chatty here now that by the time I read through everything and get caught up it is too late and everyone has gone to bed. Boo Hoo!

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Carrie, it looks like it is just you and I.

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

I really needed to be in bed hours ago just to get caught up on all the sleep I missed this week but I can not imagine how many posts I would have to read.

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Ok, so is it just me now?
Is anyone out there?

 

[RC4]

I'm here! Hadn't hit the refresh button in a few minutes...

I know1 That's how I feel! So I stay up for the late night posts, while everyone is sleeping!! See if anyone wants to come out and go for a pirate or two!!

It's been raining and cool here, so my kids haven't been getting out all of their energy during the day or something- so they haven't been sleeping as much... and its catching up with me!!

I'm tired too, and I am vowing not to stay up til 1am to play on the boards!!

 

[RC4]

Carrie, it looks like it is just you and I.

Uh oh. Did you go?

 

[RC4]

Well, I hadn't hit refresh, and I needed to go get a brownie that DH had made. Can you believe it? he baked brownies?! and they are delicious! Or as my two year old would say- "oh, I love brownies, they are uh-licious!"

I was just checking out the weather forecast, and it looks like it's going to be nice and toasty for our trip.... high of 90 during the day, and 75 at night.

90's a bit warm for me, but I'm not picky!! I just want to be on vacation!!

I just realized I had looked at the month of August... but it looks as though September will be the same!

I do prefer Disney in October.... not as hot during the day. Super hot makes me crabby... but I don't think the weather will matter much on the boat! Stick me in the pool or on the beach, and I'mm all good.

 

[RC4]

Is anyone out here a teacher?

I've got my bachelors in business management, and I'm toying with the idea of getting my masters in elementary ed.

The school districts in my area are not really hiring right now, but I'm thinking I could have a chance in a few years when I'm done with the program. I volunteer a lot for my daughter's school, and am slowly getting my name out there as much as possible!! Playing the politics game there! and I'm hoping that it will turn out well for me if I choose to pursue this degree.

Comments, suggestions?

 

[RC4]

Anyone out here? Really? Lurkers? Facebook addicts that stay up as late as I do? Getting close.....

 

[FaithTrustnPixieDust]

Okay, so I guess this is a good time to try and bring everyone up to speed on this past week's big event.

I typed this up last night but then lost it. SO....here it goes.

Last Wednesday night when I got home from class my DS comes running to greet me. He say....come on mom, you have to see something. I happened to notice a pair of scissors on the kitchen table and my first thought was....Oh no, DD was playing hairdressed again.

DS say..Mom, you may not be happy about this. Then I think ...oh maybe she really did cut her hair.

I walk out into the family room and there is a very tiny kitten sitting in their fathers lap.

Apparently, earlier in the day while I was at work they were all in the pool. They kept heating something that sounded like a cry. They looked all around on the ground, up in the tree, not luck. Their dad went into the shed to see if there was something in there. Nope. But, as he was walking out he glanced down and noticed something move down under the ramp next to the shed. He had to take the whole thing up because the kitten is stuck. Not sure how long it was out there in the 90 degree temps but they were able to rescue it. They went to the pet store and bought some Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR) and a nursing bottle.

The next day kids and I took it by the vets and he estimated it was about 3 1/2 weeks old. It was the cutest thing but we did not know if it would even survive. I asked about feeding it and getting the fleas off. Well, the vet told us if we did not get the fleas off that they would suck all it's blood out in 2-3 days. The kids heard that and . So, off we go to the pet store for a flea comb and then to the grocery store for rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol works great on the fleas. Any other chemicals would poison the kitten. We had to be real careful using it though. Dipped comb in alcohol and then brushed kitten. So, after 3 days of working on it I thought we had gotten them all.....(but found 2 more tonight).

It is like having a newborn baby only without diapers. I was doing everyday to wash the towels and blankets used for the kitten. He has to be fed every 3-4 hours. Of all weeks to have this happen it had to be the week my final project is due. Hey, it was nice having company with me when I worked through the night a couple of evenings.

Now I am not sure if some of you recall but my DD is allergic to pets. She has been pretty good so far. Only a few times where she seemed to be bothered. We shall see. She wants to keep him so badly that she is now telling me she does not need her allergy meds.

They named him Mittens because he is black with just a little touch of brown streaks and white paws. He looks like he is wearing mittens.

He is doing much better but still not sure how he will be long term. He is just so cute.
