That is my mantra these days. Jack is better, but still coughing like a 75 year old smoker. Tonight, Elijah has his friend spend the night as a birthday treat, but the poor kiddo hasn't had a real fan fare birthday. He is finally a teen and it all fizzled out for him. He is dealing with it well, but I feel bad.
Things are ok, just healing up the sick ones and keep the well ones well.
I am still reading everybody, good job and posting all the time!!

Today is Elijah's 13th birthday. He was born on Mother's Day 1996 and is a joy in my life. He is the one yelling like a madman over crossing the Indiana border.
The following situation is preventing me from doing the post that I want to do. So, I will be saying Happy Birthday and doing a good job for him later. He understands.
Jack has pneumonia and is pathetic. See you in a few.

First, Sassafras is doing great. I have been keeping her in a giant dog crate until I make sure she doesn't have the cooties. She is eating and even seems to be filling out already. Her digestion is working because she just tried to kill us via toxic fumes. Her purr survived her vacation.
Jack is doing good in speech and saw the occupational therapist today for a quick eval. She suggested some things that I have already tried and some that I haven't. Tomorrow I will buy straws, pudding, yogurt, licorice and teddy grahams. I shall document any successes.
I am covered in a very odd rash that isn't hives, but itches like hives. They have given me claritin, benedryl, zyrtec and some lotion that is for scabies. I don't have scabies, but this lotion can stop all itches. Except this one. It looks like small raised red bumps. If I don't scratch it settles down to pink bumps. But bright red when I scratch. It showed up after yard work last Friday. I am going mental.
Mom thinks it might be stress related or perhaps my body has developed an allergy to my zoloft. I dunno, but it must end now! I am trying to not go crazy.
Tomorrow afternoon the kids and I are off to do yard work for a church member and I am so afraid that I am going to break out more. We shall see!
That picture up there is what my 14 year old does in school when he is supposed to be IN SCHOOL! At least he isn't out tagging government buildings.

I never thought I would see this cat again. Not only is she old, like 11 0r 12, but she is also front paw declawed.
So, explain to me why she was sitting in the front yard when we came home today. 51 one days after getting out, she is back. She weighs about a pound, but she is back.
God answers all prayers.

Seriously.
I am down. I don't know why. The weather is changing to awesome. This is normally "my" time of year.
I just feel bleh. I feel sad and overwhelmed and did I mention bleh?
I know it will pass. I am gonna go pray it gone.
