Confession Time


Some are sins, 
Some are not. 
Things I want to share,
Things I need to just let go of.
Silly things,
Serious things.
All are things on my mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I too have fallen victim to Candy Crush Saga.
~~~
For the past week I have worked harder on my tan then I have cleaning my house.
~~~
I'm addicted to Coca Cola in glass bottles. I only allow myself 1 maybe two per day.
~~~
I've fallen into the habit of eating cereal in the evenings.... so bad for me, but so damn delicious!
~~~
I have a crush on my husband. I will always love the Sailor. I don't always have like him though. Having said that, lately I've been crushing on him big time. I'm talking junior high sneaking a peek blushing kinda crush. 
~~~
I love having Adult Swim after sunset... *giggles*
~~~
I lied to my kids about our cat and even though I feel horrible about it, I feel it was necessary. With all the death they have experienced in the last four years, including the recent passing of my Aunt, I felt the need to cushion the blow of having our cat euthanized. Our cat Bonnie had been sick with a urinary infection that medicine was not fixing. Turns out it was her kidneys going bad. After discussing all of her options with the Vet it was decided that euthanasia was the most humane option. The humane society was willing to take her back if we could get her infection free. You see, she had to leave our home whether she was healthy or not. When the infection started she started peeing everywhere except the cat box. I'm told this is common behavior for felines with urinary infections. The problem did not stop and was becoming worse. We were forced to cage her, in the large dog cage we owned, in order to protect our home from being ruined with urine. Even if we could have gotten her infection free the Vet admitted that no one would adopt a cat who wouldn't use a cat box and would be required to eat a specially prescribed food & medicine for the rest of her life, which also meant she couldn't be a barn cat. Releasing her to the wild was not an option due to her medical difficulties. It would have been cruel.  In not wanting to crush my girls completely I told them that Bonnie would be going to a shelter that helps sick animals get better and adopt them out. I plan to tell them next week that she didn't get better and that she died.  I don't want to hide death from them. Death is a part of life. If anyone knows that, my girls do. That doesn't mean that I can't try to soften the blow a little. I feel that by waiting to tell them it won't be as traumatic for them as telling them "Okay girls, say goodbye to Bonnie so I can go kill her."  I feel by having her die away from home, rather than telling them the truth on how she died, it will be easier for them to process her death. 

 

Good Bye Bonnie. May you be at peace my sweet tubby.

  1. Yeah sometimes we as parents have to pick the right time to break sad news to our children. It is always very sad when a loved pet dies but sometimes it is what is best for the pet if they are very sick and in pain.

  2. I love that you have a crush on your hubby. I think I might have a crush on mine too.
    And adult swims are pretty awesome ;)

    You did the right and humane thing with kitty. It is hard to tell the kids but you are an awesome mum and they will be ok.
