Socks, Max and Teesha...and an update on Cee

To follow up on comments... Socks is fully male (for another week) and my eyes are not itching (surprisingly) so maybe the allergy shots are working. Max and Socks have a daily battle for my lap as I read the paper every morning but pretty much ignore each other the rest of the day. Teesha could care less about a cat in the house except it affects her eating schedule. Now the dogs only have food down for about 20 minutes in the evening. We do this so that Socks does not eat the dog food because we think this has been making him sick. If you have never seen the results of a cat with the runs, you don't want to!
Enough talk about sick cats... To follow up on my sick child, it was definitely strep. After a second trip to the ER because of a temp of 105.5, the doc ordered a shot in the bum and some really great (I mean it) mouthwash for her throat. She went back to school on Friday, and yesterday, she actually felt back to her old self. Still have about a week of antibiotics to go through but we are back on track!

Where's the cable?

So this weekend, some friends came over to help me put my craft room together and I actually remembered to take some pictures of the before and during (the after hasn't happened yet)and then I can't find the cable to download the pics to the computer!!!!
Actually, they came to help with the craft room because I bribed them with access to all my paper and tools. We ended up setting a table in the living room and making invites to a Halloween party that is coming up. It now looks like a paper shredder exploded in the living room. You will have to imagine it until the cable shows up......
I finally gave up and just bought a costume at Evil Wal-Mart. I couldn't think of anything good that I could make up. Cee is going as a Gothic mummy? At least that is what she is calling it now.....
Max is going at Count Maxula and I have a good picture of that too!!!!!!!! This whole move thing is so frustrating when I can't find something.....

Where have I been?

I am right here in SW Oklahoma trying to deal with everything that is going on in my life.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed that you just shut down? That has been me in the last few days.

My To-do list has been so long that I am not getting very much done! It includes:

Get Max groomed.

Email committee chair about meeting.

Attending said meeting.

Purchase and install new air filter for truck.

Register Cee for swim team and get her to practice on time.

Fix billing for room charges.

Change rooms (so no one can move into the old one anyway!)

Call mortgage broker about interest rates

Balance check book

Put new tags on license plates. (Should have been done on Sunday.)

Bug realtor about measuring rooms.

Establish accounts with all the utilities.

Arrange for storage of personal property until house is available.

Pacify husband who is having control issues.

Clean room and do laundry.

Get appointment for Cee's allergies.

Get allergy shot.

Grocery shop.

WORK ON PAPER!!!!!

Did I mention WORK ON PAPER!!!!

I know that some of my faithful readers have missed me!!!! (Momster) I will try to post about every 3 days if my mind does not just burn out from the pressure! I will pick up my award today or tomorrow!

That's one sick puppy....

Now, I've heard that phrase in association with someone doing something gross or stupid but today this applies to Max. Poor baby.
Maybe some of you remember that the dogs weren't interested in their kongs unless I held them but I decided to give it one more try and this time use CREAMY peanut butter instead of chunky. It worked! Both dogs really got into licking out the PB and I thought all was well.
Well, I was wrong. This evening, Cee and I came back from the pool and I opened the door to our room and about through up. Seriously, heaved and choked. I had put Max in the kennel because he had been naughty with Cee's stuff earlier. Thank goodness for that decision. Apparently, the PB was too much for his little system. At least it was all contained. He went straight into the bath (ugh!) and the kennel went outside. Then I cleaned the kennel, the tub, the floor, etc. I am pretty sure that I got the smell out but I may have olfactorally adapted. Housekeeping will probably heave tomorrow.
I feel so bad for him right now. He is drinking water but will not eat at all, not even saltines, his favorite treat!
So, if any of you have a space in your prayers tonight, think of Max.
