My Week

I so badly want to blog about the past and include scanned pictures of Troy, especially when he was young and with his family and all his adorable pets. I need to just make the time...so stay tuned - it will show up here soon.

I have a nasty sinus cold. It's strange how in life we tend to take the little things for granted. Even this morning when my head was throbbing and the snot was running down my face, I still got up, let Sheriff out to potty, refilled the water dish for him and Handsome, got some Tylenol and juice and went back to bed. I sure missed Troy! He was always such a good husband and so thoughtful, especially when I didn't feel good. So friends, don't forget to thank your spouse and child/children for the little things they do to make your life easier!

I'm flying the nest. It's been 6 months and two states with sis and family. It's been a great ride, but the time has come for me to venture off on my own. I found an over-the-garage apartment through a friend and can take my boys. They only rent to people they know and it's quite affordable. I'm so looking forward to painting and moving and arranging. I need some time for me and also time with the kids to be a good aunt. I think I get a little overwhelmed and turn into a "mom" and not the "let's have fun auntie" that I want to be. Plus, Becky and David need there space back. Okay, I sound like I'm justifying when what I really want to say is that I'll have my own place and can hardly wait!!

For those who haven't heard, Mr. Handsome is diabetic. Poor baby! I just found out last week and am giving him insulin shots twice a day. He doesn't seem at all bothered by the shot, which really helps me (because I hate needles!). So far, so good. He's even showing signs of improvement. Just keep him in your thoughts...

Signing off for now. I'll be back soon.
