Work Etc

Work, work, and more work.....and about a gazillion dollars worth of medical bills all in the same week....I knew it was coming, but just thought it would be spread out more.........No such luck- Now I'm looking forward to 4-5 visits to the vet for immunizations.....Lucky me!!:( I know it could be worse, but sometimes the downpours just suck the life out of you.........Here's food for thought-my husband's niece is having a graduation party that we should go to.....They are expecting 300-400 people...Doesn't that sound fun-NOT

Eli's BooBoo is Better

It is true-it is healing! It still looks like a chicken leg, though. He cooperated for this picture update-

Eli's BooBoo

Here is the picture of the little guy's post vet injury. It is really soft and looks lots better than yesterday---------------------------

Sick Kitty, Worried Mommy

Enough said................................

A Laugh at Mom

Found this picture this morning and had to include it here. Reminds me of the vet adventure with all 4 of the kids.......

Eli's Has Shots, Again

Eli ventured out, again, yesterday for his last shot. He doesn't do well with his vaccinations and so he has to make 3 trips. He did one of them with the whole gang and the last one was a quickie to the clinic that was full of dogs. One of the dog's was 158 lbs. The others, who knows, but he was outnumbered and in my arms so we went home. Yesterday we went again and got in pretty quick. He still is recuperating and is somewhere in the house undercover. He should perk up and be his normal self today sometime. Now he is sleepy boy and no where to be found. Poor guy!!:(

Trekking to Trekfest

I jaunted on off to Riverside, Iowa this morning to check out this Trekfest. Riverside has been declared the future birthplace of Captain James Tiberius Kirk. They are supposed to do a big thing every year....I drove about 2 hours, it was a nice day, and I thought why not. Pretty boring...YAWN I watched part of a parade. I checked out the "actual birthplace" and saw the marker for it. I looked for their mini Starship, but I swore it was 110 degrees and I had my fill by then. Got a tshirt for my effort and hit the road....So much for the infamous Trekfest, but now I can say I did it....

Sleeping Cats Lie

Well, it's hours later and they are all still snoozing away....Still traumatized from their adventure and the meds, no doubt........that and they will pay me back at 2:00a.m. .................

The Wild World of (De)Worming

We have survived our early morning adventure to the vet's office. The children, all 4 of them, went unwillingly, of course, after chasing Quincy all around the house for a good 20 minutes, all were packed and ready to go.... Wendell head banged his kennel and tried to get out. Poor Eli bunked with him and they fought the whole way to the vet. Quincy yowled thruout the journey, though how he had the energy, I don't know.....Katie meowed the whole way there. And me, I just drove like a bat out of hell to get there.

Wendell left packages (you know what I mean) on the scales and then on the counter after he got his shots....I was sooo embarassed.....

We were home before 8:30 at a cost of $116 and all were given their pills for worms. Eli got a shot, Wendell got his exam and all his shots. I think we did pretty well..... I also got a partial free sample bag of Greenie treats for the cats..........Forget that, she left the room and I got 4 more bags. 4 cats, $116, they can spare a few bags of free treats, don't you think???

The children are in hiding now and probably will be for the day...Mom is pooped and the ac is cranked...Life is good....

WE HAVE WORMS AND MOM IS ENJOYING HER XANAX

Yes, it is true...Quincy has worms....the yucky rice like tape worm!!! There have been suspicions, but I actually managed to catch one of the things without squishing it and watched it do it's happy dance on my kleenex. EEEWW!! He has probably had them for awhile, and is supposedly in no pain....The others may or may not have them, but will all have to be treated....Waiting until Monday isn't going to put anyone's life in jeopardy (except for MOM who is having a major panic attack). SOOO, Monday we are making a family trip to the vet for pills and then I get to enjoy the after effects....Another EEEWW!! Once they all have the meds there will be no giving them back and forth and life will go on---- I just feel terrible, and lucky that I finally discovered them....Windows and worming, should be an interesting Monday......

A New Kitty??

My vet has kittens and a mommy needing a new home.....Mommy is a tortie and I need a new tortie, but 5 would be a lot and they all get along well right now, for the most part anyway...........Will have to think on it and see if the hubby will go look at her.....I'd love a kitten, but the momma is calling my name..........Of course, every cat calls my name...........
