Monday Sucks!

Our cat has disappeared. She has been gone before for a few days but this time we all just know that she is not coming back. Husby is her favourite human even though she is my cat. We have had her for almost 10 yrs. I got her when she was just 9 weeks old and no bigger than my hand. She has long greyish silver and white fur. Prissy is very petite and sleek. Most times she follows Husby around as if she were a dog. It is quite funny to see him working in the garage and yard and this silly cat following him all over and prancing around him. When we eat out on the deck she begs for dinner morsels as a dog does.

I also found out that my friend Patty of 21 yrs was killed in a head on collision a few days ago. I just feel sick about this. Her daughter Sam is 16 and this is so hard for her. Then her husband Todd as well--------my prayers go our for them for peace and comfort in this time. Weird thing is I met Patty over 21 yrs ago at a motel we worked at. We had a large group of us there and many of us became good friends. 9 of them are dead now.

I miss my cat and I feel awful for Patty's family. This Monday sucked.

Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment for a cleaning. I hate going to the dentist but I do it every six months. Makes my hands sweat and I feel sick to my stomach and I just hate going. I always look for excuses to cancel and reschedule. I am such a weenie when it comes to this.

Had my pictures done at a studio today. I liked the lady so I stuck my tongue at her and then smiled for her. I think she liked me.

Ok so we were visiting at my Mom's house the other day and Landon decided that he needed her glasses more than she does. This is the result.

Cakes at Gramma G's house

I took these the other day at my Mom's house. He loves these little soft rubber duckies.

This baby truly makes me happy! He is such a joy and a blessing to me.

College Monies

So the other day in the mail Lacee gets a letter to inform her that her scholarship monies have been increased to $ 2, 250.00 for this yr. (She finally applied for some so I did not have to keep paying her tuition.) I was like WOOHOO then remembered wait she is not going back to school. She thought about it for a while and then said No once again. So now it is really a no go and she will take in a letter tomorrow to decline the funds. Can you hear me crying??? I still think she is making a HUGE mistake.

Totally did not see this one coming........

So....Lacee has informed us that she will not be returning to college this quarter. She told us that she does no longer want to attend. ( This is an honor roll student! Hello!!!) She said she will go back later on. Yeah right! We all know how that one will play out.......... Holding back my tears........My insides totally freaked out when the words came out of her mouth.
I have really had to pray on this and just keep telling God and myself that I trust Him . I just keep saying , "God I trust you! "
I think she is making a huge mistake. Big, big, big, Huge! (Pretty Woman quote here.)
So now her plan is to work more and get some more money. She makes enough as it is and we pay for almost all her expenses so it is not like she is poor and never has money. We have taught her to mangage her money well and she does it well. She always has a nice sum in her checking account and has a really nice savings account AND a cash stash here at home. So I am not seeing how she needs more..............Maybe I am blind...........
I just wanted more for her than Doug and I had. I wanted her to grab it all and go for it.
She knows that college grads make on average about a quarter million more than non grads. Again, I must be blind here.
This goes without saying that I am so proud of what she has already accomplished. But..............the sight thing again.............
I had a point to this post but lost it................Oh well............
Oh wait I remember now---I did not see this one coming!
