Thank Goodness for my Cats

This past week has been a very long and stressful week. On Monday we put my mother's house up for sale. This house is where I grew up. I have very fond memories and some very painful memories. I know this is going to be hard on my mother in this new journey in her life. She has made this house into a home but it is time for her to downsize and allow another family to make their own memories in it.  On Wednesday I took my 16 year old , who is the youngest of my children to his yearly check up. We received a call an hour later saying that they wanted to do a ultrasound on is liver because of something that showed on his blood work. We took him to the ultrasound on Friday and found out that his liver is larger than normal and will have to see a GI specialist on what the cause is. He also went to see another specialist on Friday for Rheumatoid arthritis. This doctor did another panel of blood work and xrays. On Sunday morning my son and I had a fight that he started because he is scared and angry that this is happening to him. So as any teenager would do he picked a fight with me and blamed me and his father for everything that you could imagine. After he calmed down and I did as well we talked it out and all things are better now. I understand that he is angry and life is not always fair but we have to remember to keep living and not stop. So this brings me to my point about thank goodness for my cats. Gizmo and Jax has been giving me extra kisses and snuggles this week, I think they can sense how stressed I have been. After getting off from retail hell (aka work) which was past midnight I sat in my favorite chair where Jax proceeded to snuggle in my lap. I think he is trying to tell me he is there for me and everything will be ok. I could not imagine not having my two boys. I love them as my own children. Hopefully everything will be ok with my Austin and he survives being a teenager. I would not want to repeat being a teenager especially in this day and age.

Many blessings and good fortune,
