My cat, Chloe, is very sick. We noticed on the weekend that Chloe had lost a lot of weight. This morning I started to get worried because she seemed very lethargic. I took her to the vet this afternoon and the vet said it was very serious. Apparently she has jaundice which indicates a problem with her liver. They took a blood and urine sample and I should find out more on Tuesday. I hate this. I love my cats to death. Not to mention she is only 4 years old. I called my husband from my cell while they were taking her blood. I couldn't stop bawling my eyes out. The thing with animals is, how much are you going to spend? I hate, hate, hate that it comes down to money especially when this person is a family member. But, just for the tests and some antibiotics it cost me $300 today.
Please, please pray for my kitty......
I'll update tomorrow when I know more.

AHHHHH!!!!
My husband called me today and said our real estate agent is coming on Tuesday to do a final walk through and sign the papers to put our house up for sale. Funny enough, after that conversation my left eye started twitching and hasn't stopped. I'm guessing my body is telling me I am stressed?!?!?!?!?
On another note, I am very concerned for my best friend. Her period is 2 weeks late, she took a test and it was negative. She went to the doctors and they are doing a blood test. She is so sure that she is not pregnant (due to the fact that they use condoms and I truthfully don't know anyone who has got pregnant while using condoms properly), and she thinks she would know if she was preggo. She told me she has had nausea, fatigue and cramping. I think she is in very bad denial. Buuutttt, there is a part of me that believes she isn't either and that makes me worried that there is a problem. I'm going to be so nervous until I hear the verdict.
I just have to say, I love TV. It is so sad, but I don't know what I would do without it! I got so excited about Survivor tonight and then I saw a commercial that Amazing Race starts on Sunday! WooHoo! No wonder I'm fat! I'm a total couch potatoe!

Jiggly Jelly
That would refer to my stomach. I'm telling you, I got such horrible stretch marks. As you can see from the picture (4 days before baby was born) I was so huge that I think my stomach actually looks fake. So now my stomach is a stretch mark jiggly mess. And as I lose weight, it seems like it just looks worse instead of better. My dear husband, bless his heart, told me last night that my stomach shows what a proud mom I am. I was almost in tears. Sometimes I need to hear something like that to remind me that my daughter is so much more important than having a flat, smooth stomach. It's really so insignificant but I guess as a woman, it's just one of those things we cry about.
Weight loss is actually going really well for me. I am 17lbs down as of today. I'm actually 7 lbs lighter than I was pre pregnancy. Still about 28lbs to go, but I'm slowly making my way to the half way mark.
I'm also starting to get that baby itch again. Seeing all my pregnant friends makes me really miss being pregnant. I'd love to have another one soon but then I think of the cost of two babies in daycare full time and it snaps me back to reality!
Well, I'm off to the cottage this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds out!

Blah
So my weekend was great. We went to Muskoka for Friday to Monday. It was hubby's grandparents 50th anniversary party. What an accomplishment. Although I know I will be with hubby forever, 50 years married seems like a heck of a long time! Overall the weekend was so much fun. I got a pair of those Crocs. They are kinda ugly but SO comfortable. I tell you, I wish I had a pair when I was pregnant. I would have lived in them!
The baby was so cranky this weekend. Friday night it took me until 2am to get her to sleep. I guess she is now old enough to realize she is in a place that isn't home. At the party, there were so many people (strangers to her) that were in her face talking to her that she spent the whole time screaming. It was so stressful.
And now I have a cold. Yuck. I feel pretty crummy and having to take care of a child while I'm sick isn't too great either. All I want to do is curl up on the couch and watch TV, but Daughter won't allow that of course! She wants to play!
Well, I'm off to see if I can nap while she is!

Getting Ready for the Sale
My husband and I bought a new house. We are so thrilled. It has two car garage and is almost 600 square feet bigger than our current shoe box. YAY! The stress now is selling our current home. And worse.....getting the house ready for show. I have so much crap to go through and cleaning to do. You don't realize all the things you overlook in your everyday life. The dust on the baseboards, the dirt and fingerprints on the front door, etc. OK, so most people might have noticed these things and dealt with them, but I am not a fan of cleaning. Husband noticed the other day that you can see the outline of the Christmas decals that I had on our patio door. He seemed shocked that I had not cleaned the window since Christmas. Oops.
The most exciting thing is going to be that everything will be new and finished!!!! We bought this house as a fixer upper so the past 2 years have been living in a state of renovation. This new one will be brand new with no work needing to be done but paint. Ahhhh, the bliss.
So whats on the menu for tomorrow? Cleaning. I will be the one person who is not chearing TGIF. I'll be saying "damn, I wish it was Monday and all the cleaning was done".

Workin Girl
So now is the time to start thinking about work after maternity leave. It sucks. I technically still have 4 months left but if I am to look for a new job instead of going back to the old one, I have to do that in the next two months. I really, really don't want to. How do moms do this? Entrust your most precious possession to someone else? I know of lots of people who were looking forward to going back but I'm just not one of them. I love the freedom I have to do whatever the heck I want to in a day.
The other reason I dread going back to work is that I feel I have no direction. I'm one of those people who hasn't found their passion yet. I haven't figured out what I want to do for a career. It's very frustrating. I have a husband and friends who are doing what they have dreamed about for 10 years. How do I find out what I am meant to do? Or do I spend my life just working a job instead of building a career?

The First One
Wow. I'm officially a blogger now. I know a few people who have blogs (that I read regularily) who I don't see on a regular basis. I love how I can keep up with whats going on in their lives without speaking with them. Sounds kinda lazy I know but we all have busy lives right?
I guess I will tell a little about myself in this first entry. I am 26, have an 8 month old daughter and have been married for almost 4 years. My life is great but it certainly has its ups and downs.
I know this is kinda short but it's very late and I don't want to get too far into anything. I'll write more tomorrow.
