Oh, erika, I'm sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
erika, I'm so sorry.
I decree all Buffista pets should take at least a year off of getting sick or dying.

Aw, erika. That's rough. I'm sorry.

So, my in-laws (M's dad and his new wife) are in town for Rose's birthday. They arrived last night, having driven 12 hours from Oklahoma, and ate dinner with us, then went off to their hotel. Before they left, they discussed coming over to our place this morning, since they arrived too late to see Rose last night, and they wanted to get in some baby-gazing time today. We said fine, we have to be out of the house by 9, but at least one of us is always up with the baby by 7, so there's plenty of time to come hang out.
This morning the phone rang at 5:38. We let it ring, because neither of us wants to get out of bed in the morning before we absolutely have to (i.e., when Rose wakes up). Of course, the phone woke her up, and after a few minutes of rustling and snuffling around in her crib, she let it be known at 5:50 that she was wide awake. In-laws knocked on the front door ten minutes later.
Aaaaaaargh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
5:38?!!!??! That is seriously NOT ON.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My mom's health was failing so bad in the last year that I reflected that if she were a cat, I'd have to put her down to be a responsible pet owner.
I certainly thought the same about my father. I decided it was time to let Gremlin go after she had lost about a third of her weight, couldn't stand and only ate if you put food in her mouth. During that same period, my father's condition was quite similar, but there was nothing we could do except a DNR order.
Kate, surely there's a rule that you only have to let police and firemen into your house before 7 a.m.
A pair of robins have decided that the place to build a nest is right outside my back door. It seems like every time I go outside, I interrupt a robin with a load of nesting material.

Right?? Ugh. In their defense, they thought we had said we had to leave the house by 7, but I know we clearly said -- TWICE -- that we don't usually leave until 9. We are usually UP by 7. (Next time, I'm putting it in writing!)

It's hard because she wanted to be with me ALL THE TIME(even when it might not have been the best idea.Like under my chair.)
