Swine flu and kittens update

I think my youngest daughter has swine flu. She got sick on thursday with all the symptoms of swine flu (I looked it up on the internet). I took her to the doctors on Friday and she was tested for the flu and strep throat. Strep throat came out negitive but the test for the flue was positive. The doctor told me that the flu season was over and she was going to test her for swine flu and she went to get the testing kit from the lab. But then she came back and told me that in New York they were not testing for swine flu any longer unless the patient was very sick in the hospital. She said the reason was "the flu is the flu" and the treatment is the same. So we got a prescription for Tamiflu and that is what she is taking. She is feeling a little bit better today, her fever has gone down. She now only has 100.7. The only concern I have is that the doctor said for her to stay out of school until next thursday. She is a senior, and these are her last days of school, her finals are the week after next.
Ok, about the kittens... They are still here romping about. The good news is that the kitten we had thought was missing an eye, is not missing an eye. It was really only a very bad infection. I have been putting medication in his eye twice a day and it is almost looking normal. I am happy for that. But truthfully I can't wait to get them out of this house. Kelly is waiting to talk to a girl from school who told her that she has a place we can take them that will find good homes for them.
I have 4 new layouts to show and one of them is of the kittens. Thanks for stopping by.

One little kitty, two little kitty, three little kitty, four

Oh yes, four little kitties. My youngest daughter was talking a walk when she came across some abandoned kittens under a car on the service road. Since it is a very busy road she called me so we could bring them to petsmart to be adopted. It turns out that petsmart wouldn't take them and it was too late to take them to a shelter. It looked like one of the kittens was missing an eye. I just can't imagine who would do something like this. If they didn't want the kittens, why not just take them to a shelter? I still have the kittens, they have a cold now and if I brought them to the shelter they would put them to sleep. So I am nursing them back to health and trying to find homes for them. I only have one layout to show today, the kit I used is Oh La la by Ashalee Wall. Thanks for stopping by.

Another hot one today

Yes I had to turn the air conditioning on again today. It was in the low 90's, but thankfully it is supposed to be cooler tomorrow. But its also supposed to rain tomorrow. Oh well, at least I don't have anywhere to go tomorrow. Although Kelly did mention she wants to start looking at prom dresses. So I have 2 new layouts to show. The kit I used is Blooming Elegance by Monika Designs of SAS. I like the way the first one turned out. Thanks for stopping by and looking.

What happened to Spring?

You know, my most favorite time of the year is Spring. It's when the temperature is just right, not too hot and not too cold. It's when the flowers start to bloom and I can open up my windows and let the fresh air circulate through the house. Well, I think we had 3 or at the most 5 of those days and now for the last two days it has been in the high 80's. For crying out loud, I had to put my air on last night and it is still on. Anyway. I have 2 new layouts to show you. I have been using my older pictures that I had scanned a few weeks ago. I sill have a lot more scanning to do. The kit I used is Ruff ND Pretty by Sweet Made. I think I like the way these turned out. Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Spring has arrived (I think)

Oh we have had three beautiful spring days. Today is not as warm as yesterday and friday but it is nice all the same. The windows are open and nice fresh air is circulating through my house. This past Wednesday we went to FIT for the admitted students day. We had to be there by 10 but of course we were there before 9. So we stopped in a little resturant and had breakfast first. We still got there by 9:45. They had some refreshments but of course we already ate. So we just mingled until it was time to start. At first the guy from admission spoke to us and congratulated everyone there. He said there had been about 18,000 applicants but they only accepted 150 for each major. He said they are very selective so everyone in the room should be applauded. After listening to various departments, some of the students spoke and then they took us on a tour. After it was all over, we went to the campus bookstore and Kelly got some FIT stuff. It was a nice day but we didn't get home until after 4 and I just hurt all over. Kelly is just so excited and can't wait to start. So I have a few new layouts to show, they are not all that great but I did scrap last wednesdays adventure. Thanks for looking.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a very Happy Easter and did not eat up all the chocolate. My older children and grandkids are in disneyland so it was just me and my youngest daughter. We went out to eat with her boyfriends family. We had a very nice time and got home early enough to enjoy some television together. I have 2 new layouts to show. These are some older pictures that I had just recently scanned. I used the kit Some Day Dream by Sweet Made. Thanks for looking.

So so sad

Last Monday I found out that my Sister-in-law passed away. It was very unexpected, she had a heart attack. She was much more that a Sister-in-law, she was my very dear friend. In the 7o's we were on a bowling team together. Every year we went Christmas shopping together and every Saturday night she came over my house. We would either go out to eat or we would order in. We would watch a movie and chat. We never ran out of things to talk about. She was my sounding board when I was upset about something and was always there to help out in a pinch. She was everyones favorite Aunt and she will be missed greatly. In these two layouts, I again have some older pictures of my youngest daughter, from 1993, when we visited with my Sister in New Mexico. The kit I used is Sentiments by Ashalee Wall.
