What a crazy day

Today has been too long.  LOL.

I watched my friends 18mnth old today, along with little miss, they are quite the combo…then put those two in the car, picked up my sisters kids from school dropped them off, picked up my son, went home, started mowing the lawn,  then my friends other son was dropped off at my house, gave them a snack, they got picked up, went back outside finished mowing the lawn.  Checked email…got a little bit of a surprise, a nice one.  My friend had ordered a tutu, I made it, mailed it…she sends me an email back today saying that the tutu I made was actually for a couple that I knew, who was in my Bradley birthing class when I was pregnant with David.  This couple also lost there newborn (we found this out later at a memorial at the hospital).  We knew this couple had lived by our friends, but I didn’t know that they had become friends.  So it was a pleasant surprise that this tutu had gone to there 4 year old girl.  She must have gotten pregnant around the same time I was preggers with Mr. Mischief.  Its just amazing how small of a world we live in.  As I’m finally putting my kids to bed…I get a call from my sister – shes at the animal hospital with her cat, and some very sad news that her beloved Kinky (16 yrs old) has some massive health issues, and the big lump of love had to be put to sleep.  Very very sad.  This is the first pet of my sisters that has died.  My heart breaks for her.  I’ve gone through 4 pet losses, and each one was very difficult.  It sucks all the way around.  We’ve been lucky enough that our pets have lived long happy lives.  But it still sucks.  You may ask why the kittys name was kinky…get your mind out of the gutter…when this little stinker was born momma cat (who my sister still has) put her kittens in a file drawer, this little one decided it would be fun to jump out of this drawer, but cats don’t always land on there feet, he landed on his tail…it bent.  He had a huge kink in his tail…hence the name Kinky..the vet said it was fine – but it really didn’t look fine, so his tail was amputated and he had a little stump of a tail – he really did look cute. 

Now, I must go finish some tutus and hair bows for my craft show…but I’m so darn tired!
