Quick update

Sorry guys! I know a lot of my friends & family have been waiting on an update. 

John was able to pick up Sadie late yesterday. She is doing a lot better, still not quite herself, but so much improved. She really scared me the other night. 

She hasn't been as active as normal, but she is eating & drinking & accepting all of our cuddles. :) She even hung out with John outside this afternoon while he was clearing & burning brush. That shows that she is feeling better. 

I thank The Lord for our vet, Dr. Stiles, he is so amazing! He is so caring & gave Sadie the best care possible, if she needed food - he gave her food, if she needed love - he gave her love. I don't think I will ever meet another veterinarian with so much heart. And his staff is wonderful as well. They were so sweet when I was calling for updates...sounding like a crazy lady! (I know, I am a crazy lady, I just try to hide my crazy!) 

So now that my sweet girl is on the mend, I was able to concentrate on school. I passed the exam! Yay! My first class is over! I also did my pre-assessment for the next class today, and passed it today. Score! 

So now I am working on getting the thru this next class, which is 6 credit hrs & a lot tougher..my mentor gave me an easier  class for the first one, probably to build confidence. 

So that's where we stand. Hopefully we are heading to my BFF tomorrow for some fun times! :) Great friends are hard to come by...hold them close to your heart when you find them. 

So, I'm tired out after my extra time at work & ready for the weekend. Goodnight my friends! Sleep tight!

Not quite a blog

Hey friends. This is not quite going to be an all around update. Just throwing this info out there. 

Please say prayers & send well wishes to my baby girl Sadie... 

She has not had the best couple of days, and is having to stay the next couple of days & nights with our much-loved vet, Dr. Stiles. She has had some tummy troubles & isn't eating or drinking, or acting like herself. 

The vet thinks it's probably a intestinal bug, we are hoping that's all it is. If she is not better by tomorrow he is gonna run some tests to rule out other things. She got some anti-nausea meds & antibiotics when we got there this afternoon, and was placed in a nice spacious kennel with a blanket & I got to give her some love and say bye to her there. He plans on giving her some meds & fluids through the night. I was up for most of the night last night with her vomiting. I hate feeling helpless, I wish there was something I could do.

He told me to feel free to stop by & see her tomorrow, but I won't be able to as I am working. :( 

But I know she is in amazing & very loving hands. 

It was hard coming home without her, and the house is too quiet & still without her here. She is getting up there in age, but I really hope that we have several more years with her. We all love her so much. 

Other than that, we are just busy around here, everyone doing things. I am taking my final exam for my first class on Friday, so I hope I pass that & move on to the next class. John is busy with work & Maddie is staying busy with Kinder, we are reading books every night now on top of her little homework. 

Grandma is getting over being sick, so we haven't seen much of her lately, but I think she is on the mend. 

That's a out it. Please send happy doggy thoughts & well wishes Sadie's way tonight. Goodnight friends. 

Long time coming....

I have been out of sorts lately & haven't felt like blogging. Things have been super busy around here. I started my first class in school again...(Care of the Older Adult...ugh big people, lol) and passed my first assessment! Barely, but yay! 

Work has been ridiculously busy because we are still short-staffed. Hope that gets resolved soon. I don't know that I can work extra all the time & do school. We will see how it goes.  Even with school I am still considering that other position, waiting to see where fate takes me.

Excited for next weeks games! Go Pack Go! And of course... Go Broncos! I hope the Patriots cream the Ravens next week, only because the Steelers deserved to win that game last night & it was so jacked up! Grrr!  And there might as well not be the other game... Of course the SeaCocks will win. 

And on to family...My cousin Jimmy passed away this week, please pray for our families. We have a few other major health crises in my family right now. So far I'm not so sure about how 2015 is starting. There is a lot of pain & worry happening right now. It's not my place to put all of it out here for everyone to see, just know that my family has a lot on our plates right now. We can use prayers for healing & no suffering. 

Thankfully Maddie, John & myself are healthy, we are very thankful for that.

I might seem a little nonchalant about everything, but just know that I'm really not. It's hard to figure out how to put everything out there without putting it all out there... Does that make any sense? Probably not, lol. I am trying to focus on the positive & cover up all my sadness with the playoffs. Typical. :)

I think that's all I can say right now. I am lucky to have amazing friends who listen, it helps. 

Well, goodnight my friends. Sleep tight.
