Ok, now I'm really irritated! I started writing this post...it said it was having problems posting, and now it's all gone! It just add to the wonderful week I'm having!! Grr Starting over....
Sunday started out real well. I had planned on going to church, and we were up and ready to go. But, Pete was going to go mushroom hunting and work in the garage. We got a new kitty last week, and he wasn't weaned yet. I couldn't leave him at home alone, so we waited until it was time to go to the Sugarcreek Kids' Sale.
I had taken a bunch of things out to the sale last week, and when I went back to collect I had more money than items! I had taken out a van FULL of things. I brought back only a few, and I made $165! Praise God! It couldn't have come at a better time! Money has been real tight lately, so this was a real blessing.
Monday is a blur...typical Monday. I know what happened now. My sister was in town. I love her to death, but some days she just gets on every nerve.
Tuesday was an interesting day. We couldn't get up in the morning, and Wyatt had his doctor's appointment at 10. I called Mom and asked her to meet me at the doctors. It was his 12 month checkup. He is 14 months now though. He weighs 22 lb, and is 30 3/4" tall. The doctor said that everything looks good, and Wyatt is tall and thin. (We had thought he was a little chunky, but that's only because Haylea is so little!)
I had a run to Salem and Waynesburg, so I took off. When I was in Waynesburg, I was thinking of the boys. (That's where they live.) I even went by their High School. It was weird then when their step-dad called me at work around 3:30. He said that Cory had been in a car accident. They were taking him by ambulance to Aultman Hospital. He called back a little later and said that Cory wanted Pete to be there. When I told Pete, he about fell over. He had 50 questions for me, but I didn't know anything.
We left work and went to the hospital. He called his parents, and they both ended up coming up to visit Cory. He had a goose egg on his forehead and some scratches on his face & neck. They did a CT scan to be sure his brain & neck were fine. He only had a crack in his sinus cavity (near his temple). They sent him home with antibiotics and pain meds. It really scared us!
Wednesday started out ok. I took the kids to school without much complaint. I brought the kitty with me to work. Mom watched him when she had the kids, but I couldn't ask her to watch him when she didn't. He was real lethargic all day. I even had to wake him up to eat. He was definitely not himself.
I got the kids from school and got them a snack on the way home. Haylea held the kitty on the way home. He even fell asleep on her lap. I put him in the house, and we went outside to play. We ended up at my mother-in-laws. She wasn't there, but my sister-in-law was. She and I talked about some places to get free food. I followed her to the church were my nieces attend. I picked up two bags of cans, a case of spicy Ramen noodles, a bag full of croutons, and a bag of frozen food. I kept thanking the lady, but she said to give thanks to God. We talked about the Wednesday evening services for Haylea. I really would like to start attending a service somewhere, and Wed services would be a start. Plus, the church is close.
We got home, and I looked in on the kitty. It didn't look like he was breathing. I picked him up, and he was very limp. He was not breathing. I told Haylea that I thought he was dead. She wanted to take him to the vet, but I told her it was too late. Boy, did that hit her hard! I called Pete and told him to come home soon, so we could bury the cat.
We buried him across the creek, so she can visit him. We had never really had a good name for him. We had talked Freeze or Gizmo. She had mentioned that she wanted to name him Baby, but we had told her that wasn't a good idea...he wouldn't always be a baby. I told her that the kitty's name was Baby, since he died as a baby. So sad!
Thursday was a good day! I sold a car on Ebay for work!! Whoo hoo! I kept watching it off & on all day. It was a 2004 Neon. It went for $1150! I get commission from the sale, which is nice!
It's been so long since this week happened, I don't remember the rest....I figured I'd better post what I have though. Hopefully soon, I'll get the hang of blogging. :)
