Life Sucks

Seriously I really am thankful for what I have.  My girls and husband are alive and healthy.  My dad is healthy.  My mom isn't great but she is doing pretty well considering.  Love my dogs.  Work is fine.  I haven't updated because my heart is hurting from all the stuff.  I just couldn't write it. I couldn't verbalize it.  I still can't most of the time.  It is what it is.  At least we are together.  I do OK at school because being busy keeps my mind off the bad stuff.  As soon as the kids go home and I get some time in my room, my stomach feels sick and my heart hurts.  I know I have been an awful mother.  I wish I could re-do so much.  I can hardly bear it.  There's nothing to make it better.  Just more crap to make life a crap-fest.

Well, I'll move on.  Keri keeps bringing stray dogs home.  We found the first one a home because the shelties didn't like her.  Super Bowl Sunday she found a severely matted and hungry little girl dog and brought her home.  The mats took at least an hour to cut out.  She just sat there appreciating it.  The mats were so close to her skin and pulling more fur with every move she made.  When we were done she was SO relieved.  We gave her a bath and fed her and she was the happiest little thing.  She is still skittish somewhat but doing much better.  She had her first pro-groom and looks bee-utiful.  I love helping dogs.  If we had a farm or a bunch of money I would start a rescue.

Dixie...Have you EVER seen anything more adorable???

Well I can think up a few others but it feels good to help her.  Unfortunately (ha!) there ain't no way I can give her up.  The canine population of our household is at its limit.

Traci made it into the Baylor Bruins.  I'm not really sure what that is but what I do know is it's a Baylor University organization that takes prospective athletes (?) on tours like of the stadium or something.  It's hard to get into.  Traci was one of 32 girls out of 80 that got in.  YAY for her!

Keri's doing well in dance.  There's one more competition and it's the Nationals in Florida.  They have worked their buns off.  Keri's lost at least fifteen pounds and looks awesome.  Her little arms are all shapely.    Dang that girl!

Breezi is looking for a job.  She's had a couple of interviews so hopefully something will work out.

Well, until next time...
