It's not really goodbye
In two days Em and I are headed on our road trip to NY. How do I feel about that people? Pretty damn good. Not that I am happy to be leaving Keith mind you... I actually feel kind of guilty about that, however we both agree that we want Em growing up knowing her family. We might not have the luxury of living down the road but I think the very least we can do for her is give her time every few months were she can bond with Grandparents, soak up some fun with her cousins, and get spoiled rotten by Aunts and Uncles.... seems only fair since Keith and I had that in our lives. Not only that but I think it would be unfair to everyone if they didn't get the chance to see Em. Aunt Kristin has already said she is taking Em for a day to go with her cousins to the Zoo and I am sure Aunt Kari will be telling me they are stealing her for a day as well.
Anyway, it will be nice to be back with family with people that know you and love you for who you are and even for who you are not. I recently had some high school petty ass drama in my life and realized I don't have time for that kind of drama. I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter, a loving family, and a few friends that I consider to be true and dear.... that is what I intend to focus on. I don't have time for the petty shit, if people do not like me for who I am or understand my life revolves around my family well screw it, I guess that's the way it's going to be. God knows I have enough drama with a little turkey... that is enough for any one person!
unfortunately we have made the decision to put our male cat down this past weekend. We will be doing it either today or tomorrow. Poor Levi has been having a hard time controlling his bladder for almost a year now. We have put it off as long as possible and it has just gotten worse over time and this past weekend he had a pee fest along with vomiting. I can not have that in the house with a child... I feel horrible but it is the right thing to do. He is not that old as he is about 11 years old, but who would want a cat that pees all over everything? I could not sleep all last night thinking about it. Last night Levi and Tasha (our female cat) slept together in the rocking chair... it made me sad seeing them there together. We have also decided to find a good home for Tasha. Since Emily has been born she has basically lived her life under our bed. Now with Levi not being there to keep her company I would not feel like she is living a good life. I think it would be selfish to keep her when she could be living with somebody who would give her the proper attention she needs. I am bringing her to NY with me in hopes of finding her a good home...
Today is going to be a cleaning day. We were lazy slobs this past weekend... Time to go back to work! I won't start packing until tomorrow, I always wait until the last minute! If you don't hear from me for awhile it's because I am laying on a beach in the Hamptons with my folks... Have an awesome week.... Tata for now...
