"There's No Place Like Home"


Today was just one of those days that Moo needed extra snuggles. Maybe for my peace of mind I really needed to have her with me.  The day didn't start off so well.

We all woke up late and nothing was going as planned.  Clearly Bug thinks changing outfits 3 times and brushing her hair for 20 minutes is going to get us out the door faster.  "Oh to be 12 again." And Mini Me, wanted us all to say "good morning" to the kitten.  This meant finding him because he took off running and hid from us.

Mini Me and her dad got off for the day.  Bug and I were loading the car.  I had just latched Moo into the car. I started to head in the house to grab one last thing as I turned my back Bug screamed, "Mom!!!", "Mom!!!" What?!! Moo just had a Grand Mal!  Mind you, Bug is my child who has seen every seizure and typically stays cool, calm, and collected when it comes to her sister.  Sort of a been there, done that. She takes things in stride.  Thank God.  But this was different.  It scared her.  I came running.  You could see that Moo was out of it. She continued to cluster for a bit.  I drove Bug to school and decided that Moo was going to stay home with me.  My heart couldn't take leaving her, knowing that the seizures were out of control this morning.  And I made the right decision because they continued all day.😭

These are the days I'm grateful for the opportunity to stay home and care for my babies whenever they need me to and even when they don't.  "I sure do love them!"

Just for fun, the dog decided I didn't have enough to do so he pooped in his crate! Thank God for Best Friends who stay on the phone with you to make sure you don't pass out as your gagging and holding your breath.  So they wait for you to come back and make sure you don't need the ambulance to come get you.  πŸ˜‚

Moo and I hung out while I did laundry.  The dogs were enjoying there time outside, until my chihuahua that had already messed the crate up decided to get out of the gate.  So off I go to hunt the dog down for 20 minutes in the neighborhood.  He decided at some point he would crawl back in whatever hole he crawled out of.  I was not happy with him and he knew it.

Today was volunteer day so that meant that mommy couldn't go.  So I went to the school to pick up booklets and bring them home, since clearly I wasn't going anywhere else.

It rained  a little.  Nothing to complain about.  It made me sad for Texas though.  What horrible devastation they are going thru right now. So please take a moment of silence and pray for all that have been affected.  Volunteer and do something to give back if you can.  You never know when disaster will strike close to home.

While all of this was going on.  My BB had her first grandchild today.  She came early at 33.5 weeks. Pray for sweet baby, that she comes home by the end of week. So far she is doing really well.πŸ’—

I picked the kiddos up from school and the night was uneventful for the most part.  Homework and the usual evening stuff with the family.

As much as I'd like to hide sometimes.  Because it's all a little to much.  I remember that somewhere, someone else has it much worse.  So I am grateful and remember I am blessed to have what I have. And today I am grateful to have had one more day with Moo plus 2.....


By the way, those little feet up there.  Those are sweet Moo's. I took this picture years ago.
And the saying goes "There's no place like home."  Today all I could think was.  "We're not in Kansas anymore." 😧

This to shall pass and tomorrow is another day!! Good night and God bless.
