Hi everyone
I haven't been around much lately, as some of you have pointed out to me through PM's
It's not because I've lost interest in the forum, or that I'm upset or angry with anyone. I still love it here and think about you a lot!
Things have been kinda difficult around here lately, and without writing the Great American Novel, here's why...
First, my MS is acting up off and on, and that makes it difficult to type...my right hand gets very weak and shaky and I get frustrated
My Doc says he thinks stress is triggering it?
The stress factor:
My 22 year old son and his 19 year old live-in girlfriend were pregnant, and both unemployed. She just recently miscarried, then attempted suicide by taking a bottle of Ibuprofen. She's Okay, but my son is afraid she'll try it again.
2 weeks ago they got evicted, and have been going to court constantly over this. She moved home and my son is "couch cruising" at various friends homes.
I strongly feel I need to show Tough Love and let him struggle through this, as this is not the first time he's found himself homeless, and doesnt seem to be trying to fix it himself (as in looking for work,, getting up before noon, etc) but I worry about him constantly.
They had 2 kittens, one 5 months old, and one 3 months (another show of responsibilty) and I took in the younger of the two, Gilligan, an adorable marbled grey male. The poor little guy was taken from his Mama way too soon, and is constantly trying to nurse on my ears, nose, lips, toes...anything! He hates my girls, is afraid of them, so he growls non-stop, Cagney want to clean him, and Lily wants to play....no way!
Cagney is due to have her kittens around Sept 1st...and I live in a 1 bedroom apt. so I'm trying to figure out how to keep the peace when the babies are born, and keep them safe. I made up a nursery in the walk-in closet, hopefully she'll accept and use it.
Anyway, thats my story...how is everyone? :laughing2:
I sent out cd's to Airprincess and Dodo, hope you ladies like them!
love to all
Cleo
