Eye opener!

When your daughter says, "I'm pregnant!"

It was a beautiful morning today, at least until the kids woke up, then it was screaming and fighting and "mom he has my money!" "Mom she's touching me." Wow, that can mess up the most serene sunrise ever seen.  However, I've now dropped the kids off at school and the house is back to its peaceful state for the time being.  So what am I doing with my wonderful, quiet rest of the morning?  Well, my mind is whipping around thoughts of my twenty year old daughter.  She just got engaged a couple of months ago and we had been trying to plan for her wedding next fall, but we hit a major bump in the road and are in the process of trying not to plummet off the embankment.  My daughter is now pregnant.  

She woke me up at four in the morning a couple of days ago saying, "Mom, can you read this?  I don't know what it means."  I rolled out of bed and stumbled into the kitchen, put on my glasses, and picked up the pregnancy test.  Half asleep, I glance at it and in a groggy voice I respond:  "It says your pregnant."  I slowly turn away when my eyes pop wide open and I spin around, "Wait....What!   What the heck did I just say?!" That news will wake you up faster than three cups of espresso and a bolt of lightening.  The look on my daughters face said, she to would not be returning to bed.  

Initial surprise and Oh my freaking God! is finally out of the way and we are now fairly excited about the news.  He fiance is happy as well.  All we have to do is rework the wedding around the pregnancy because my daughter does not want to be a basket ball bride.  I told her she could either step up the wedding plans or keep the original date which is four months after the baby is due.  She should be back to her old self by then and I could care for my grand-baby.  I'm just in the process of thinking about the cost of the wedding, cost of baby items, and the cost of having the baby.  I'm not sure how to pull all of this off in one year.  Wow, what a bill its going to be!  Were theres a will and no other real choice, there's a way.

Just let him go for crying out loud!

Abusive relationships     

For the past few months, my sister has been telling everyone that her abusive ex-husband moved to Arizona.  She wound up selling everything she owns and told the family that she just needed to get away and was planning a trip to California.  She should be leaving today from what we all understand.  What I found out is that she had actually sold ALL her belongings, worked for a couple of weeks at McDonalds to earn some travel money, and is indeed going to California...where her abusive ex-husband actually lives.  She just didn't want the family to know she would be moving back in with the man who hit her and left her lying on the floor in a seizure to beat up her son then got angry with her when she came around and called 911 for herself.
     He would up doing a year in prison for that and blames her for the whole thing.  His mother lives with him as well and the last time my sister went to visit this lady, the woman slammed her head into the camper trailer door several time, then took her and her son(my nephew) a couple miles away and simply dropped them off.  They sat for hours in another state, in the cold, at a gas station after having called us for help.  Finally, her ex-husband picked her and her son up.  I simply cannot understand why a woman would choose that lifestyle when she is already free from it.  Why the Hell go back!?
     I do wish her the best of luck and under the circumstances, she's going to need it.

Doctor say what!!!

This is too funny I have to share. Sorry in advance to my daughter, but I have to.

Went to the Doctors office with my daughter and they ran a couple test on her.

Nurse comes in and says: "So does three lines mean twins?" He says no more, leaving with a puzzled look on his face. (obviously, the doc and him were in on this together.)

Daughter: "What's that mean?"
Me: "I think he's joking, hun."

Doctor comes in and says

: "Do you want the good news or the bad news?"
Daughter

puts her head in her hands and begins to freak out. "Just give me the bad news."
Doctor

: "How far along do you think you are?" Winks at me as my daughter shakes her head, which is still cradled in her hands.  Her breathing was becoming so fast, I thought she might hyperventilate.
Daughter

: "What!...What!"
Doctor

: "Just kidding."
Sondra

: "That's just mean."
Doctor

: "That's what makes it funny."
I couldn't help but laugh. The look on her face was simply priceless. I wish I had a video camera at the time.

Neighbors killed my cat!

Momo update.

This is my post on facebook about my cat being missing.

My cat, Momo never came home after going for her afternoon walk. She had been pretty sick for a long time after her surgery and antibiotics, but seemed to be doing a lot better. Now, I fear she went somewhere to pass away. That's what animals do sometimes. We haven't seen her in three days. I miss my old lady and I hope she finds peace wherever she is.

Updated post on facebook about what actually happened to my cat.  I just found out yesterday after having searched for her all this time.

I know what happened to my cat Momo now. She was feeling better and was ready for her second surgery, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to let her go lie in the sun for a while. She wandered into the empty lot next door and the neighbors picked her up that day and took her to the humane society then had her put down. She died four days ago and even though they saw us hunting for our cat, they said 

nothing until my kids went to their house to play with their daughter. They told my 3 year old and my 7 year old that they had their cat killed and buried her in their back yard.
It is taking every bit of will power I have not to go over their and beat their asses for what they have done. She was finally healthy enough to survive her second surgery and they took that chance away from her then broke the hearts of two little kids.
I love you Momo and I'm so sorry. I should never have let you outside.
