Yesterday I was thinking Girly Girl's stomach ache was just that, a stomach ache. The ache never worsened and she was able to eat. I made her favorite dinner, spaghetti, which she ate plenty of. We did skip dance class because I had kept her home from school and she was tired from being up alot the night before. She went to bed no problem. Around 11pm she woke me up (I had just fallen asleep) complaining of her stomach hurting really bad. So I had her stay in my room, she calmed down and went to sleep until around 1:30am or so. She was in terrible pain by this point, I was getting very concerned because I could tell she was hurting. I didn't know if it could be her appendix, could she have some kind of blockage, was she constipated. Just as I was about to get dressed and take her to the ER, she ran toward my bathroom and threw up everywhere.

Talk about a mess. She was trying to reach the toilet but didn't. And I swear, when I stood there, trying to figure out where to begin cleaning it up, my spaghetti dinner was at the base of my throat.

I am throwing out the leftover spaghetti today. There is no way I can eat it.

It is so not fun cleaning up vomit at 2am.

She felt better immediately though and was back to sleep by 3am. I, however, was up forever.

I've kept her home again today. She has eaten jello and feels fine. She says her stomach still hurts but not as bad. So today she will be on a light diet, nothing heavy. And no spaghetti.

The best part about today is JR left his laptop home so I'm curled up on the couch while writing this. I plan on doing some laundry, cleaning up a little and visiting some blogs. I need to go to the grocery store but that may not get done today.

Misty, my cat, is doing so much better. She has perked up and gained some weight. Every time she sees me she gets up and comes over to me, wanting attention. She had stopped doing that, I don't think she had the strength to. She is still having a problem holding her urine but hopefully once her urinary tract infection clears up and her body adjusts to her new diet, that will improve. Excessive urination is a sign of feline diabetes so between that and her infection, she hasn't been able to hold it. She's already had one bath at the vets and I'm giving her a couple more days before I give her one here. That should be fun.

I would like to get to the craft store, I have a cross stitch project I'd like to begin but I need some more floss. I thought that would be something I could do when I'm wanting to munch, something to keep my hands busy. It's supposed to get very cold here starting Sunday, the coldest weather we've had in 3 years which means I'll be stuck inside a lot. I need something to do so I'm not raiding the cabinets.

I am so behind on my bible reading for my bible study. I just have not been able to stay focused on anything I read. I would love to work on getting caught up this weekend, I just need to pray for God to help me.

I cannot get Miss Moody to go back to indoor field hockey because of those girls. As much as I hate to see her walk away, she is very good, I understand where she's coming from. At school she only has to deal with one girl, if she goes to field hockey it's all 3 together. I don't know. I don't like my kids to quit anything, I'm all about seeing things through but how much am I supposed to push here? This isn't just a case of kids not liking you, it's been more than that. But sometimes I worry that she lets other people stop her too much and I'd hate to see her miss out on things because of other people. And on the other hand, I don't want to put extra pressure on her. I don't know.

What would you do? Would you make her go or just respect her feelings and let her quit?

Well, my kitty is diabetic and has a urinary tract infection. Apparently excessive urination is a symptom of feline diabetes. I didn't even know cats and dogs could get diabetes. She stayed overnight at the vets and I'm supposed to call this morning and see how she is.

I went online last night and researched feline diabetes. Do you know that I may have to test her sugar just like a person does? And that I may have to give her insulin shots? She will have to eat certain foods and may even have to eat more on a schedule.

The kids were so happy to find out that she was going to be ok, we've had her for almost 7 years. Our new kitty has been lost without her, it's so cute how close they have become. Now I have to get new kitty to the vet, make sure she's not already pregnant, get her fixed and get her shots.

And our dog needs to get his shots as well. Pets are expensive!

Miss Moody had another normal day at school. Maybe just maybe things are turning around. Things are quiet online too. I keep waiting for it start up again though, I'm not convinced these girls have learned to keep their mouths shut yet.

Sonny Boy has a soccer game tonight so we'll be out pretty late. He's enjoying it though, I just wish it were closer.

Girly Girl is getting in trouble almost daily in class. She's gotten in more trouble this year than all her school years combined. I think I may have to go in to talk with the teacher and find out what is going on because something just doesn't seem right.

I've decided to get back on the Weight Watchers bandwagon again. Rather than go to meetings, I'm going to do it online. I've gained back the 7 pounds I lost before the holidays and I just don't like how I've been feeling. I need to take better care of myself because how can I manage all the craziness in my life if I'm unhealthy from eating junk all the time? I will probably just post about my weight loss journey here and get rid of my weight loss blog. One blog is hard enough!

So, since I'm on the subject about getting healthy, share with me some healthy things you do for yourself.

Update on my cat: Talked with the vet, my poor kitty has a large tumor under her tongue that is inoperable. I can bring her home because she is still eating and drinking and she's not in any pain. I just have to monitor her carefully and if I notice she's not eating or if she appears to be in pain, then it will be time to have her put down. My kids are going to be so sad.

Miss Moody had a good day at school yesterday. When she arrived at gym class, the principal was there and the female gym teacher actually hung out in the locker room to make sure nothing happend. After the girls were dressed, the gym teacher and the principal talked with UTBBF. Of course, she denies ever saying anything. Miss Moody said she was crying and just carrying on.

You would think these girls would realize that I'm not backing off anymore and that with every threat, I'm going to call them out on it and get them in trouble if I have to.

And actually, right now with the other 2 girls things are silent. So I think we may be making progress.

I'm taking my cat to the vet this morning and I think I may have to have her put down. She's an old kitty and she's become incontinent. I had to throw one of her beds away yesterday because she had peed on it and the worst part is she's just laying in it. Thankfully I had an extra bed and she's now sleeping in it. She's not doing a whole lot either but she is eating and drinking and she's still just as friendly as ever. I don't know. I've never had to make a decision to have a pet put down. I just don't want her to suffer.

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of us from the wedding this weekend.

This is my sister, Girly Girl and me.

This is Miss Moody and Sonny Boy. They are actually getting along here.

This is Girly Girl and JR. She looks just like him I think.

I cannot believe that I am actually able to upload pictures now. Fast internet is the bomb.
