The First Post....

So...in starting this blog I wasn't really sure what I would talk about. I honestly don't feel like I have that much of an exciting life. I mean, sure stuff happens to me, good and bad, I struggle with things, make goals etc...but I didn't really think I would be able to have anything that would be "good enough" for a blog. But now, I honestly don't really care! I've decided that I'm going to do this for me...not for anyone else (although I would love it if people, even one person, read by blog consistently)...I think this will be good...

Let's dive right into what's going on in my life shall we?
So today was interesting. When someone asked me how I was doing this morning I honestly didn't know how to answer. I tried to explain but probably ended up sounding crazy. I only got 4 or 5 hours of sleep last night so that didn't help anything...I found out at about 1 am that my nephew had been born at 12:04am weighing 6 pounds 13 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. His name is Ethan and I honestly think he is THE cutest baby I've ever seen...and I'm not just saying that because I'm his aunt.
AH! I love him and I haven't even met him yet!

So that was the up side to my day...
The down side was that today was also the day that my mom was going to have my cat (we have had him for 12 years or so) put down. Now honestly, he's not THAT old, and he's so nice and not in any pain. "Why would you put him down then?" you might ask...well, I guess with the type of cat that he is and the fact that he is male means that he is going to pee on stuff a lot more often that a cat should...and it is so true. As much as we may love him and love having him around 95% of the time...he pees on stuff too often and it's starting to get worse and worse. He can control it and knows exactly what he's doing but we can't deal with it any more. He is an indoor cat; doesn't have front claws so he can't survive on a farm. He can fend for himself a little bit but not much...he's a mama's boy....he didn't end up getting put down today but he will be tomorrow (Tuesday) I'm have a hard time dealing with this but there's not much I can do to change my moms mind.
So when you put these two extreme opposites together within 24 hours and throw in some fun times with friends at dinner, a few insults that hit me hard and a lot of tears...you could say that today was one heck of a roller coaster ride...

Wow! This has been a long first post...so that's all for now I guess.

  1. I'm so glad my son was the main subject of your first post! And I'm sorry about your cat. And I'm glad you're blogging! :)
