So, as usual I watched the latest Bethenny ever after -I watched it last night but, missed the beginning so, just watched that part from the recording. I have to say I really like Bethenny and since I love reality tv -I even vaguely remember her from the Martha Stewart apprentice show (trying to remember was that only 1 season?) Anyway - There's some things I can relate to -family issues -I'm not estranged from my mom -but, it's a little complicated since my dad had custody of us growing up. And of course now Bethenny is trying to handle it all -career, marriage, & motherhood - Which by the way- sounds a little familiar -Handling the mayhem of marriage and motherhood *ahem* ;) Of course for Bethenny she had the career down and then the husband and kid -For me I have the kids and husband -still trying to figure out the career part... Anyways- I love how Bethenny is outgoing and will say anything -she cracks me up -1 of those things that I wish I could be more like-I am kinda shy myself. I am really glad that things in her life are going pretty well overall - of course there are going to be ups and downs- and it breaks my heart that bloggers and other media is giving out misinformation and maybe "attacking" her. Not that she'll ever read this but, if Bethenny perhaps does -just know there are bloggers that aren't like that -like this "mommy blog" and I'm a fan -and Good Luck on future endeavors!
So, anyone else been watching this show/ or a fan of Bethenny?

Birthdays, Weddings, and more!
Sorry it's been awhile again -Not that there's a lot of people reading this or anything -But, here's an update anyways... So, my new kitty did get better and I took him in to get neutered-shots and everything last week -He's doing fine -currently on my lap right now ;)Made it through the company at our house and celebrating my son's birthday last month. We had his birthday party at an indoor soccer place. Never know how the weather will be in Feb. in Oklahoma so it worked out well. I learned last yr. a boy in my son's class that's in his class this year too also has a bday around that time -it's nice to get the "reciprocals"-(you come to our party and we'll go to yours ;) So, the next weekend we went to their birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese that was a Sat. and then that Sun. we went out to eat with family to celebrate my mom's birthday. So, yeah a few birthday celebrations around that time. Next up- is weddings! If everything goes as planned we'll attend a wedding in March,April, and May! Starting this weekend -We've gone shopping for "fancy wedding clothes" and such and hoping everything goes well. Other than that... everything is a bit up in the air -ever get that feeling like things are gonna change but, just not sure how - Been feeling like that lately. Things that used to be are not anyymore -not anything big or necessarily in a bad way-but, different nonetheless. For instance some things that usually keep me busy -PTA;Book Club -Seem a little different -On PTA our "core" group is not as tight as it once was -there have been statements even by the principal that "they want to move in another direction" maybe do a booster club or something but, no other information that I know as of yet. And on book club hopefully will get more info. soon but, did get a formal message that the host is thinking about cutting down on hosting-So? Just seems things are in a bit of state of flux -Not quite sure what to make of it all yet... Until next time -hope everyone has a good week/ St. Patrick's day weekend!

Cats part 2 and other craziness
In my last post I talked about how we had a stray cat that had kittens -that we were trying find homes for - you might recall how I took the mama cat to get spayed so, there wouldn't be more kitties. And then the next day a lady came and took the kitties we had left and the mama kitty -only to return the mama kitty later saying she had to go out of town because her mom was sick and she thought it best for us to watch the mama while she was still recovering from getting spayed.
We had decided to keep 1 kitty and so we let him and his mom keep each other company outside until the lady was supposed to come back and get the mama kitty -about a week later she didn't call. Her number was off my caller id -I did write her # down although messily I tried to call what looked like the # -But, it wasn't going through. I thought I might try again in a couple of days however a couple of days later the mama kitty disappeared- after not seeing her all that day I got worried -I thought maybe she was hit by a car or someone took her in -or ?? -I looked around the yard -didn't see or hear her meowing -even drove around the block -didn't see her dead on the road or anything -So? I brought the other kitty in -so, he could get used to the cat and dog we already have and get used to being inside -at night he'd climb onto our bed and being the kitten he is attack our feet -etc. A few days went by still no sign of the mama kitty and I also called to make an appointment for our new kitty to get shots/neutered-etc. The day before time to take the kitty to the vet -he threw up but, it didn't seem like normal hairball stuff -he continued to throw up on/off that night and the next morning -I took him into the vet -They looked at him and said he did have a fever and was dehydrated -they decided no surgery for him -they instead did a blood test-etc. and found he had parvo -Which is bad -they kept him overnight -the next day we brought him home force feeding him wet food and medicine. It has been a few days now- he is finally back to himself and has an appetite back-etc. I think he'll be fine but, it seems he probably got it from his mom and she probably didn't survive -now considering she was here for at least 6mos. -not sure where she got it-she was exposed to some other places -vet,lady that took her for a little while, -other stray cats -So ? Kinda sad of course.
But, we have a new addition to our home and he's adjusting. It will be a couple of weeks before we can schedule another appt. to get him neutered-etc. And it will be interesting to see how it all goes -Since my son's birthday is coming up and my sis in law and her boyfriend our coming to town and staying here. The in-laws -it seems most people who go across the state might stay for the weekend but, his family for some reason seems to think it's fine to stay for about a week -They will get here sometime tomorrow(Thurs.) and they might leave Mon. or Tues, -whatever they decide at the time -Ugh! I just can never get used to their timeline idea -also when we go to visit them -it's like their offended if we only stay a day or 2 -again -Ugh! I mean maybe if it was across the country or something I could see staying about a week- but it's about a 4 hr. drive at the most. So, yeah in the next few days we'll have company and celebrate my son's bday - We'll see how it all goes - To be continued...
