@kari5186 I'm so sorry for the loss of your aunt. She sounds like she was one awesome gal! I'm behind by a couple hundred posts, so big hugs to everyone else with sick kids, pets, family, or just plain having an awful day. Hope things turn around soon for all .
We had a busy, but fun day. Drove a couple hours up to my uncle's farm for lunch and a visit. We took M around the farm to see all the sheep and she got to pet a couple of little baby lambs that were just born this week! She had such a blast out there! I am really not a farm girl, and deep down I know I couldn't cut it, but hanging out there today made me feel like growing up on a farm would be such a great experience for my kids. NOT going to share this with DH though, I can totally see how that would turn out...
I'm super jealous that you saw Garth @WasNotWas with my hubbies stupid work schedule we can't ever get to concerts because they always fall on a night he has to work or while he is deployed.
The acreage thing I can manage ok. Sometimes the snow doesn't get plowed, or the lawn mowed, but no one sees but me, lol. Most of the time we do ok, I've just made a point to make the majority of the outsider tuff low maintenance. It's not even that I have a problem with the amount of work a farm entails, obviously if we chose to own a farm it would become our job and we would make the lifestyle adjustments. But today I watched my OB/GYN aunt throw rubber boots on over her sweats and drive us around the farm in a side by side through the mud. I thought to myself, there is just no way I could ever be this "down home country girl" who trucks through the mud to feed the animals at 5am. Just isn't for me. I do wish we lived closer though, so we could reap the experience of the farm for the kids...
Small update about my hubby being home for the birth....
The ball is rolling but the chances of him actually making it home are looking worse . Instead of a week/10 days where he can be home a few days before my due date may be out of the question. They may only let him come home the day before my due date and he would have to return 3 days later. If that's what they offer it's not worth it. Now to figure out who the heck can take me to the hospital when I'm actually in labor. Blah, still hoping for the best but it's not looking too good.
@riansmommie That majorly stinks. I'd volunteer to take you if I thought I could be reliable and not also in labor .
MIL goes in for major surgery this morning and is really anxious about it. She's convinced that she's going to die. So, everything crossed that it goes really well and she recovers quickly.
We had the same kind of thing today @sctiger . I just got up with her, but now I wish I had put her back down. Only 7 am and she's already a loose cannon. Exploding every time she doesn't get her way
They're from petsmart. I have to work all day so I'm going to see if my dad can take them up there for me. I thought the third one would be dead when I woke up this morning but he's still swimming around in there. Fish aren't easy pets! Lol
@ColieAnn31 we got Js fish at petsmart too so you should be covered. If the 3rd fish bites the dust id just buy a single beta (fighter fish). Theyre cleaner and a bit easier to take care of.
We got a glofish tank so we got fish that "glow" if the 3rd dies we'll probably just get cardinals for a little bit. Those would still look neat in the light. We had named the fishys too Gil, Noni, and Molly. Molly is still alive.
Thank you for the support ladies. I hate even bitching about it because I always knew this kind of stuff could happen when I married my hubby. It sucks though. I really want hubby or my own mom at the hospital with me. But my sister being due with her first just 8 days ahead of me pitched a huge fit and my mom decided she should be there for my sister. I could on and on about that situation but I'll spare y'all. Still hoping for the best but am coming to terms with the fact that my hubby will prob be missing yet a other birth. Thankfully we still plan on more kids.
@kari5186 my sister isn't married. Like I said I could go on and on and on about my sister. I love her to death but she is spoiled and everything is handed to her on a platinum platter. She even has the rest of the family with her, while here I am thousands of miles away from my entire family. She is even moving in with my parents so she will always have my mom there for support. But she won't budge on thinking she has to have my mom there for the birth.
I've got such an awful stomach ache. It looks like our bunny Roscoe had a stroke last night. He has he head turned down on one side and is waaaaaay more stationary than normal. I was hoping he was just tired when we went out this morning, but it's pretty clear that it's something more serious.
I don't know what to do. He is eating okay (so far) and is still snuggly, so I don't think he needs to be put down. It's going to cost us way too much money have have imaging done to actually diagnose a stroke and then the vet isn't going to do much about it anyway, so I don't really see a point in bringing him in. And now I'm petrified to leave him all day on Tuesday when we go to my aunt's services.
@kari5186 I'm so sorry your bunny isn't feeling well! Head tilt is actually very common for them (vestibular disease ) sometimes if you catch it early it can be easily treatable depending on what's causing it. For one of our rabbits we just ended up having to get her a prescription, she had a parasite and the vet was able to diagnose her easily without too many expensive tests. There can be relapses but for the next 5 years that we had her she didn't have one. Sometimes the tilt itself doesn't go away but there are lots of rabbits who live very long happy lives with tilted heads.
I hope you're able to get things figured out, I know it's so stressful when they're sick!
PS I'm sorry if i'm repeating someone else, I stopped reading when I saw your post.
