The house is way to quiet this morning. David left to go back on the road, Kelli is gone back to school. Christopher and Kevin left to go back to Wisconsin for the week and Adam and Maggie are working. Everyone scattered to the wind now and won't gather until the next holiday.

We took the boys out for Pizza last night before they left. I think Kevin likes this new job. In a way I think this job Kevin is doing is probably a good one for him. He is getting exercise and decent pay and has a very cool boss!  

Madison managed a band practice after so long and it went quite well, I had a great time and took some video and lots of pictures. The pictures kind of sucked as I didn't adjust the camera settings for the room but the video's were great!

Blaze is still with us and I am starting to fear we will not find him a good home. I know keeping this cat is not an option because he is long haired and bothers my asthma and David's allergies. 

Why do people throw away animals? Why do they abandon them? Why do they abuse them? What the hell is wrong with some people? Even my ex husband just up and left his cat in a trailer for my son to take care of, he didn't even ask if they would take the cat. Does not even buy the food, litter or pay for the vet bills. I just don't understand how anyone can do this to an innocent animal and not give it a second thought? This just breaks my heart.........

I emailed the shelter about Blaze to see if anyone reported a missing cat but they didn't bother themselves to answer back. I wish the county would not have sold out on the animals because now animals have no where to go if they come off the streets, feral cats and kittens are euthanized if taken in at all. BIG fat mistake privatizing that place. At least the county took in ALL animals, even if they didn't have room. I know the over crowding causes some of those poor animals to be put down, but humanly euthanizing an animal is a lot less cruel than leaving them on the streets starving and dying a slow, often times painful death. 

I miss my husband already..... It was real hard to get "us' time in when he was home this trip. We have such busy lives and are always on the go! When I have him home at Christmas we are going to spend some time away, just the two of us for a few days. BUT THEN!! then we get to ring in the new year with Gramma! This will be a first for us and sadly, probably a last. She is 77 years old and will probably not be able to travel here for another Christmas. We will make this the best one ever for her!

I think I'm going to go back to bed and catch up on some sleep. I don't feel like doing much else and it is still early.

David,

I miss you so much already and I love you very much. Be safe out there!
