We’re heartbroken about tomorrow

The whole having to put Cloe down tomorrow is weighing heavy on us. This time tomorrow, we will be heading to the vet and saying our last goodbyes. Lizze is taking this particularly hard because Cleo has always been glued to her for some reason. Cleo is the kind of cat who always seems to know when you need her attention. We don't even know when we need her attention until she makes it clear that we do. Lol We've had to put down a few animals in our time and it was horrible. My cat Frost, was struck by lightning and survived. He eventually needed put down because of serious internal injuries that presented a few weeks later. There was nothing we could do. 🙁 Lizze had a seven…

My thoughts

Don’t you love mornings like this

The boys had a good morning, although it started much earlier than I'd like. Emmett was awake at 5 AM and ready to start his day. I ended up getting up with him because I generally like to be awake when one of the kids are. I'm sleeping a bit better lately, and so getting up a 5 AM was not a huge deal. The boys got off to school without an issue and I walked almost three miles. The walk was great and I was able to hang out with my Mom, which is always a good thing. I'm feeling pretty good and I'm grateful.

My thoughts

I know we will find a way to get through this

I'm hoping to get back on track in the morning. Today has been a wash as far as productivity is concerned. I was definitely not feeling well for the first half of the day but did much better in the afternoon. I'm getting a bit worried because I still cannot find my wallet and that presents a multitude of problems. I can't get my debit card replaced without my ID, and I can't get my ID replaced without my debit card. It's quite the conundrum and I've not yet figured out how to navigate it. Despite the unpleasantness of everything going on this week, I know we will find a way to get through it.

Elliott / Emmett John / My thoughts

Our school year has been surprising

The boys had a good day at school and that's always a good thing. No ones making fun of Elliott over his backpack, and that's an enormous relief. A big bit of awesome is that Elliott doesn't have homework this year. That's such a huge relief for all of us. Homework has been a nightmare over the years and it looks like we will be getting a break from it. Unfortunately, Emmett is getting homework this year but he seems to be doing okay with it. ☺ I'm kinda liking the level of positive surrounding this school year already. I was really worried about how things were going to go, but so far, it's been awesome.

My thoughts

I can’t change what I can’t control

I want to thank everyone for all the well wishes. I'm feeling much better, and Lizze did a great job of taking care of her sick husband. ☺ I'm pretty sure it was something I ate last night. Actually, I cooked myself a chicken breast in the air fryer, and perhaps that was the issue? Either way, I'm back up and running, well, moving around without feeling the need to yack. lol I did wake up to a scary realization that I've lost my wallet. That almost never happens, at least not in a really long time. It's really weird the way stuff goes missing in our house sometimes. I'm 99.9% sure it's in the house. Lizze and I have always joked between ourselves, that we have a mischievous ghost…

My thoughts

I’m not feeling well

I'm canceling my plans for today because I woke up this morning and I feel like crap. Something I ate last night is definitely not agreeing with me. I'm not even walking this morning. Hopefully, I'll feel better as the day goes on. I'm just going to stay hydrated and try to get some sleep this morning.

Cats / Cleo / Family Pets / Heartbreak / My thoughts

We have some really sad news to share

You may or may not know, I turn 39 years old on Thursday. Aside from this being the last year of my third decade life, there's a something that's going to make this day pretty awful. On Thursday at 2:30 PM, we will be taking our Cleo to the vet again. It breaks my heart to share that Cleo will not be coming home with us after this visit. Unfortunately, she's going to be put to sleep and that's going to be really tough. She actually turned thirteen yesterday. A few weeks back, she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. She'd been having problems for a few months and none of the medications helped. At the beginning of August, we had her back to the vet and we learned that she…

Fit4Autism / My thoughts

Even when they drive me crazy

That's wasn't a very relaxing walk. Taking the boys is something I enjoy doing, because I like spending the time with them, while trying to instill healthy habits. While I enjoy it, on the other hand, it's frustrating because the boys are so focused on Pokémon Go, it feels like I spend most of the time redirecting them. Today was particularly challenging and I'm more stressed out now than I was before. Generally speaking, the boys actually do pretty well. We still managed to get about a mile and a half before calling it quits. Emmett's little legs were getting too tired and I didn't want to have to carry him. My knee is still bothering me and that would have been too much. My Mom walked with us and…
