Morning

in Wedding Woes

I'm pretty sure I've been trying to cram a summer of fun into the last 10 days before school- riding bikes for shakes, feeding giraffes, sprinkler, picnic at the pool.  I sat down last night and put all of our school calendars into my family calendar and it wore me out.  I'm scared to think about 2 in soccer too.

6let is realizing that we'll still be doing fun stuff when he's in school and he's bummed.  I've got a list of not so fun stuff to do too.  Every closet in the house needs serious attention.  I really don't understand how we have so much STUFF

I also need to attack the basement.

    Oh and random question: What am I supposed to do when my cat dies?  She hasn't yet, just looking at her and wondering.  Vet? shoebox?

    I'm trying to sell some tablecloths, napkins, and placements on a b/s/t group.  Prices are $1-2 per set.  These women want a front and back picture of every item.  No.  It's a $1 I'll donate it.

    I typed something out, but I think I'm going to put it on FB instead...if I decide to share it.  

    I'm here.  My phone all the way died last night and I forgot to turn it on after I plugged it up to the charger.  I woke up with 7 min to spare before I had to get the kids up. 

    I took the afternoon off yesterday and wasn't as productive as I wanted to be and then when I got home from the two things I did do (research at Lowe's and a pedicure)...all hell was breaking loose and things kinda sucked from there.  

    The kiddo's getting his ass kicked by being on a schedule.  He was quite the child of leisure this summer.  6:25am comes really early when you've slept until 9am or later every day of the summer.

    Good morning.

    I feel like I don't know enough info about DD2's preschool, gbck (official start date/time, supplies they want).  I'm probably going to call them later.

    I got my laundry all finished.  Today I need to start cleaning.  I've got to get this place ready for the party on Saturday.

    Also, I have absolutely cleaned up on Target toy clearance.  So many $50 items marked down to $15 or less.  I am actually done with a couple nieces for xmas already.

    And I was just turned on to the SNL Terget Lady skits.  A friend and I sat and laughed until we cried at the videos online while we were gone a few days ago.

    6, take her to your vet.  They can cremate her for you and you can save her ashes or have them dispose of them.  I have all of my animals ashes since my childhood dog Buck.  Since I want to be cremated, my intent has always been to have us all mixed together.  Then, DH wants a "green" burial.  Whoever is in charge of my ashes, need to bury all the animal's ashes and mine with DH's body.  We laugh that in generations in the future, when we're all dug up, someone's going to think that I was either a very large set of ashes or that there was a weird geological occurrence right there, b/c of all the ashes.

    I'm in a bit of a funk.  It's not a really terrible one, b/c I can pull myself out of it with the right people, but I'm pretty much right back into it when I'm by myself.

    Right there with you.  I am having a hard time shaking the post-vacation blues (even though by the end of vacation I did want to be home) and there's other stuff impacting my mood too. 

    I do have an in-office day next week for training and I'm kind of excited about it.  I am missing 'work mrs.conn' a bit. I wish I could have a few more in-office days, but I don't think I'd be happy giving up my WAH status.  A very FWP, I know.

    6 - if she dies at home, it depends on if you want to spend the money on cremation. (It's not particularly cheap - I want to say it was $300ish for Rogue - but she was considerably larger than a cat.) The emergency vets did a cast of her paw for us, and the company they use for cremation put her ashes in a nice wooden box carved with her name. 

    If she dies at the vet or you have her put down, local regulations may come into play as to what you need to do (they may require that she's cremated.) We ran into that issue - it was a question of the cheaper cremation (with other animals, no ashes returned) or the more expensive option of having her cremated by herself and getting the ashes returned. They couldn't turn her body back over to us after she was put down.

    I really don't care to have her ashes back. Really she's not sick or anything but she's 18. It's going to happen you know?

    If you don't care to have the ashes back, the vet can dispose of her after they put her down.  And if she dies at home, I believe most vets will let you drop her off and they'll take it from there.

    Howdy.

    I've been a recluse on TTGP lately.  Yeah, it's happened, I'm mostly okay with it.

    Birthday is going well---H is gone this week and texted me first thing this morning with a note about looking in a closet under a random box.  Where he hid my birthday card.  Nothing like starting your birthday with happy tears and a smile.  Seriously.....6 months ago, I was down in the dumps and having a hard time just being me----now I'm much happier.  It took time and hard work just being okay with being okayyy...so I'm kind of looking around and thinking "wow, it really did get better!".

    Also, for you @VarunaTT:

    I did?  LOL.  I'm such an "inside voice" outside talker.  Like..."you should keep that thought in your head" and nope...out the piehole.
