~ How Many Times Can One Person Cry? ~

by Tina~in_ut

Well, let me tell you:

Thursday:
1. On the way to the airport.
2. Just after takeoff.
3. During the flight to Spokane.
4. At dinner.

Friday:
5. Visiting church.
6. Meeting in the McCarthey Athletic Center.
7. During President McCulloh's speech.
8. Again during speech (it was REALLY good!).

Saturday:
  9. At breakfast.
10. During parent meeting.
11. Again during parent meeting.
12. In library.
13. Buying books. (this one is iffy.....it could have been caused by the bill)
14. At lunch.
15. At dinner (he didn't want to go with us)

Sunday:
16. When President McCulloh gave homily at mass.
17. When Priest, toward the end of mass, told the freshmen to stand in the aisles and we all prayed for them.
18. When same priest told the kids to go outside (panicked!)
19. When same priest thanked the parents for entrusting our sons and daughters to their care.  (not too happy with this priest at that moment!)
20. At lunch after mass.
21. When I hugged him goodbye and told him I loved him. (actually, I couldn't even speak!)
22. In hotel room when hubby told me that he dropped the bag with all the mugs for the grandparents because the handle on the bag broke.  All but one shattered~
23. For the girl in the bookstore so she would replace the mugs for free. 
24. Again at the hotel when Di texted me.
25. When DeeDee texted me....but I also laughed. 
26. and finally.....now~ 

I will say this.  Sending him to Gonzaga is the best decision the three of us could have ever made.  It makes it easier to write the damn check every month knowing and seeing where my brat will be for the next 4 years.  I'm so happy with this school and so excited for him.

Someone emailed it to me yesterday and I couldn't wait to send it to you!  I almost pooped my pants when I saw Shirley's!!!!  (sent the same day Shirley's pun blog posted)

Animal Lovers

by Jennifer

You darn animal lovers, you've started to turn me into worrying about those four legged creatures. Yes, I'm talking to all of you that visit the blog. In the past, I will admit, I usually skimmed past the comments that were in regard to anything with four legs. However, I will tell you what really turned me around was our dear friend Caryn. Every day on Facebook she shares her stories of healing dogs that were neglected. The dog's stories and all what they have been through has my heart singing a different tune in regards to caring for pets. I'm truly amazed at the dedication and love she pours into their healing process. I so admire her for it.

Yesterday, there was a homeless man on the street corner with a sign looking for work to help with gas & food. Along beside him was his trusty dog. For the first time ever I was more worried about the dog then the guy. All afternoon, I kept thinking about that dog and was wondering if he/she was up to date on its shots!

Even though I'm really now into supporting neglected animals, I still have not bonded with the cat. Cats still scare the heck out of me. They look kind of cute on a card or calender, but in person I feel like they are always giving me the evil eye. Maybe that will change one day, but I think it is going to take a while.

So now that I have turned the corner about pets, please tell me more about yours.
