in review...

So it would seem that it has been almost two weeks since I wrote a post. What have I been up to lately? Well lets see...

Last Saturday our cat seemed healthy and happy, blending into the chaos and routines of the day, just like every other day of his eleven years with us.

Sunday our cat started throwing up.

Tuesday found me moving the cat around the house to his favorite sunny spots since I knew that this day would be his last day on this earth.

Wednesday morning found me at the vets office holding my dead cat in my arms.

Wednesday at around noon time my neighbor came by to take my girls for the afternoon with an offer to come by for tea if I felt like talking or being with the girls (which by the way, if you are like me and never know the right thing to do in social situations, is the perfect thing to do if you find your neighbor sobbing while chopping massive amounts of fruit with a rather large knife).

Thursday I took the girls shopping for sandals.

Yesterday it was 60 degrees outside.

I am hopeful for spring. Hopeful that I can be a more fun, loving and patient mother and wife. Hopeful that I can find joy in each day because like the cat, we are all healthy until suddenly we aren't.

I am also hopeful that more frequent and sunshiny posts are on the way...
