This week in a nutshell

It has been crazy to say the least. Wednesday was the busiest day of all. I woke up and went to work at 7. Ken calls me around 10:30 to tell me Kyson was getting ready to put something in his mouth so he runs over to see what it was. One of Seiko's (our cat) canine teeth. The entire tooth fell out on it's own. Ken said he was in a lot of pain- as he was meowing and he normally doesn't and was walking around like he was in pain. So I get home from work at 12:30, take him to the vet for 2 hours with the baby. I was telling my mom how challenging that felt to carry a cat in his carrier and the baby who is probably close to 20 lbs now. She said "well it's probably given you some idea what it would be like to have two kids." I can certainly agree with that. It was not easy! Anyway, the vet tells us he may need to pull a few more of his teeth. So we scheduled him for surgery for Friday. After the vet, I went home to clean the condo and cook dinner for the sister missionaries in our ward. It made for a long long day!

Friday rolls around and I take Seiko in and there is another woman standing there with her cat in it's carrier and she is complaining about having to fill out paperwork as "the cat is just getting euthanized, why do I have to fill this out." I look over at her cat and he's meowing and I think, don't cry- maybe the cat is just sick and she is doing the cat a favor, only to hear her say "it was dropped off on me, and I don't know the cat's history." At this point, part of me wanted to say, I will take the cat, but knew that really wasn't feasible, so kept my mouth shut, got Seiko checked in, and left for work. I worked until 4 then went and picked him up and he was very groggy.

I then get home to the phone ringing and it was a call from a member of our bishopric asking if he could stop by. I agree and he comes over to give me a calling. I will be teaching Sunday school to the 14-15 year old's. I think it will be a little challenging... but I hope it will go okay... time will tell.

On top of that, we have been fighting colds this week. It's been quite the eventful-not-in-a-good-way-week!

So.. how's your cat? Better? Grats on the calling! Jimmy and I get one today, we think. :| But, that is crazy! Good thing Ken was watching Kyson at that moment! That couldn't have been good!
