Another cold day here in NJ- I hope my plants are ok-its 30* right now. It is May, right? I know I am date challenged, but I don't think I have ever been wrong on the month!!
I am off to the vet today with both dogs, always fun, especially when they both try to hide behind me and wrap their leashes around my legs. I have to talk to the vet about how to know when its "time" for Harley. I hate to even *think* about it, but I don't want to be selfish and keep her if she is in pain. I wish there was someway they could tell us when they are ready to go. She is 15 1/2. Four years ago (for those of you who haven't heard this story before
) we were told she had a few months to love. She had lymphoma, her 4th bout of cancer. We got Ravyn, our "transition dog" and here were are- 4 years later and Harley is still with us. Just amazing! But she is having a harder time getting around and pees in the house when she gets unsettled/nervous. But at the same time, she loves being around us, loves Ravyn.....So I need a more objective opinion.
How was everyone's day yesterday? We had a mtg with the school- they want us to have a Child Study Team eval Scott. They feel if they can get him classified for Spec. Ed. as "Other Health Impairment" he'll be able to get more services to help him, especially since he is (hopefully) moving up to HS next year.
If anyone has any advice or experience with this, can you let me know? PM me if that is easier. TIA!
Tip on Tuesday:
Sally recommended a book to me, "Even June Cleaver Would Forget the Juice Boxes" I am only about 1/3 of the way through it, but I am finding it to be very helpful/interesting. It talks about the Mommy Myth, that we should be able to do everything at all times, perfectly for our children. Its a MYTH! (Mythbusters should do a show on that! LOL) It is helping me to deal with the Mommy Guilt I have. I think all moms should read it.
Thanks Sally for the suggestion
