life is a journey of learning and falling on the way

Finally again

2010-11-13T10:21:00.000-08:00

Hi sorry its been a long time since I posted something on here, from trying to get a job and doing my jewelry. I finally found a job in December of 2009 after 13 months without a job, its crazy but in November of 2008 a couple of days before thanksgiving I was laid off. Here I am 2010 in November and trying to get back on my feet again, taking little steps. We all encounter little cracks in the pavement along the way, I encounter a big crack and still trying to fix it. I was diagnose with stomach problem and its been a bad problem but trying little by little to go thru it. Its never going to disappear and I will always have it and aside from that I also am trying to conceive with no success :O( and its painful. I am 36yrs old and also have PCOS and my body has problems ovulating, great it sucks why do I still get pms and all it comes with but no eggs?

2009-11-03T22:36:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone... sorry I haven't been keeping my blog up to date... too many things going on... first my mom had surgery on her hand so I have been going back and forth helping her out. Then dealing with my issues.. I started going to an infertility doctor and got some blood test done and they found my thyroid abnormal and then a ultrasound later and was told had a nobule. So I am kinda scared a bit.. now today they called me and told me it was 3x5 size and then wanted to do a scan, so what I found online is that the inject something and find if has hot or cold spots and thats how they figure if its benign or the other cancer. Well before I had pain in my neck.. I just never really paid attention to it.. it was everyonce in a while but now they gave me medicine and it seems like the pain is always there on the left side of my neck. So hoping for the best.. so I have to put the baby issue aside for now.. hope to have one before I am 40.. how time flies I am 35 already. Smile :O) Pat

Daisy

2009-10-19T15:13:00.000-07:00

Here is my cute little daisy... one of the kitties that was born under my bed by a stray cat!!! LOL Yes you heard.. she had 5 and thankfully found loving homes for them.. we kept one the smallest one and we thought she was mellow. Wrong she is so full of energy... if we are in bed she runs us over... she climbs the curtains in our room and walks on the curtain rod like it was a tight rope.. One day the rod is going to fall, she is getting bigger. My inspiration was how tiny she was and decided to make her a tiny tag... decorated it, like her personality so full of life.

Shadow and Etos

2009-10-13T16:01:00.001-07:00

Shadow and Etos were the best of friends always together were ever they went.. As soon as etos came in thru the back door, behind him was shadow. Etos inviting him in the house all the time to have supper with him and relax, my little etos is very friendly and not mean at all. He is a very curious cat and very nosy, one day I was painting and wanted to know what I was doing.. till the point that he put his paw in the paint and had paint all over him and the carpet!!! I had little paws down the hallway in the carpet and on my bed, it took me awhile to clean it all. One night something happen to poor Shadow, my husband opened the front door and there in our front door poor shadow lay. He dragged himself all the way to our front door, he was dragging the whole bottom part of his body. I guess someone ran over him, I checked him all over and didn't see any tire marks or anything on him. I made him comfortable and made a bed and kept watch over him, I contacted a vet hospital in hopes they would let me know what to do. I also figured I would take him to humane society or somewhere he can be helped, You see he was an outdoor cat and didn't want to stay indoors. He was dragging himself down the stairs and I fed him a little, then I noticed he was bleeding. I called the vet hospital and they told me they could look at him and it might cost about 800. to keep him over night and see if they can help him, but was not guaranteed he would walk again or make it. I made the decision to put poor shadow to sleep, you see I didn't have that much money to take care of him and I really regret it. Here I was going to the vet hospital at 3am in the morning in a not so good neighborhood, my poor oggie was sitting with me wondering where I was dragging her this early in the morning. My Etos has never had a friend like shadow :O(

ETOS

2009-10-07T08:41:00.000-07:00

This is my cat etos.. I don't know what the name means and its just a name my husband gave the cat. lol I got her for my husband for a birthday present, first of all I had a cat a long time ago. I was 7 at the time and always was a dog person, we got him from an ex boss and she told us it was a girl. Originally it was named bandit because of the mask face, a tuxedo cat. As it started getting older it wanted to keep going outside to play. It was about 8months old when we decided to let it out, and made friends with some stray cats..... UNTIL one day oh noooooo it started doing something to another cat!!!! I told my husband I think our cat is a boy, He of course asked why? Well look!! Yep it was a boy.. I needed to make him a tag so the inspiration came from him being a free spirit and taking care of his little gang of stray cats!!!!! He became DON ETOS, his girlfriend Sunshine, Bubba the strong arm and his right hand man Shadow.. Shadow and my cat were best friends always together.. until something happen? I will tell you the story of how my pet tags got their names and how some of them relate to my pets and also little stories along the way.. Have a wonderful day Smile :O) Pat

One word Monday!!!!

I finally saw a friend after being laid off since November.. there has been little communication... with any of them.. My mom has always been a good friend to me and I can always tell her anything even if sometimes I get embarrased
... Sometimes you do need a friend to talk to and help with all your thoughts.. hard when you feel down sometimes..
