Oh! My Goodness!

This month has just seemed to fly by and time has really gotten away from me! My apologies for being MIA...I really didn't think it had been so long!

I guess the break-in did more of a number on me than I thought since I have been going through a Fibro Flare for the past couple of weeks and it really knocked me on my ass! Now, don't go getting the obscenity police onto me for that...I am usually very good about bleeping myself but that is exactly where this flare sent me! LOL!

So. let's catch you up on Life with Jannidee....

The break-in....DD was cleaning up her room and came out and said..."I know this is a stupid question but did you take my IPod Shuffle?" "Excuse me? You are talking to a woman that had a hard time walking and listening to a walkman!" So we called the police and added it to the missing items. They called her yesterday and thought that they had found it at a pawn shop but it wasn't hers. They said that the kid's girlfriend had pawned it so that sounds like they know who did it although we don't know for sure. Things don't really happen like on TV where they keep you informed! Sleeping is becoming better since DD is home from vacation. The windows have gone back to being open during the day but at night they are still in the locked position. Thank goodness we have the windows that can be locked and still be open about 3 inches or I might have died from heat stroke!

DD had a great time in Bar Harbor with her boyfriend's family and they are all hinting about...when is the wedding? I have been wondering the same thing but have learned to keep my mouth shut! They are both starting to go back for their Master's and trying to save for a house so I think it will still be awhile before I will be trying to find something borrowed, something blue!

DS has been going through a very bad time with his ears. He has always had problems with them since birth and for awhile he was doing good but a couple of weeks ago he got an ear infection and even though he has been on antibiotics, it just doesn't want to clear up. He is in a panic since the last time this happened, the doctor started to talk about doing a mastoidectomy and that has him scared to death. His hearing has already been compromised from all the ear infections and scarring and I just wish I could make it better for him. Then he twisted his bad knee and couldn't put any weight on it and since that is the knee that is involved in the lawsuit, he has been going to the doctor for that to make sure that this is not going to be a long term concern.

Kids may grow up but we are still and will always be Moms and worry about them, right?

The Furbabies.....Help!!! I feel like I am running a kennel!!! Pepe IS a handful! As an un-neutered male he was making my Beagle's life miserable! I don't know why since Bogie is also a male (neutered) but it seems like every un-neutered male that meets him wants to hump him! And, the moosh just stands there and lets them and all the time he is looking at me like he is saying...Mom, make them stop! We did find out that one of our neighbors moved and just left this little guy to fend for himself so if they are the kind of person to do that, you know that they did not train him very well or pay too much attention to him. The poor little guy seems to have no clue as to what toys are or how to play. So, he has all this energy and no way to get rid of it! My Mom was exhausted trying to take care of him so I would give her a break and keep him with me but then that meant, I had to deal with him! He is so cute but considering his background and lack of training, I am not sure that she is going to be up to the task. Luckily, one of our neighbors has told us that if it doesn't work out, he knows several people that would love to have him and since this guy is a rescue-er, I would trust him to make sure he had a good home.

But, yesterday was "Let's all go to the Vet" day and Pepe was neutered and hopefully will calm down quite a bit now. My 2 dogs were due for their shots... let's just say, I made the vet's mortgage payment this month!! Lordy! Bogie ended up having a ruptured cyst on his butt that I hadn't noticed so now he is on antibiotics....and I thought my nursing career was behind me! And, apparently, his teeth need to be cleaned...wonder how much THAT is going to run? What happened to the days when you had a dog and all you had to do was get them a license and feed them????

Everything else is about the same so I guess that about catches you all up on my life!

NOW....many of you have asked about Anita and I guess things are getting a little heated with the comments on her blog. I don't know what to tell you because, I can't seem to get in touch with her either and I am getting VERY concerned. So, I do not have any answers for you and I will not make any judgements about my friend. She has been going through something that I would not wish on anyone and I for one, will give her all the time that she needs and keep her in my prayers.

So...........................................now that you have suffered through all my ramblings and you have been so patient in waiting for a new kit....how about I give you TWO to try to finish off this month?
