How things're goin'

I've missed Paige and Sylvie since they left, but I did as Paige suggested and visited meetup.com. There I found a couple of mom groups and have made it to one meeting so far, a walk around one of the malls in the area (as the weather was rainy and chilly). I was the only other person to show up besides the group organizer, it was nice getting to know her though and her two little boys who are 2 and 4 and just adored Jack.

I'm planning to go to a couple more meets this week, I"ll let you know how those go.


The night before last I remember having only one dream. Travis, Jack and I had just returned home from being out somewhere and Tubby came out to greet us from Jacks room. At first there was nothing surprising about this, tubby used to come to the door all the time to greet us when we'd get home.

Then I remembered Tubby was no longer with us, and I turned and asked Travis if he was seeing what I was seeing. He looked down and didn't say anything then said "I hope you are seeing what I'm seeing," and we were both so happy to see him and that he looked to be feeling much better. His fur was all clean and shiny and he looked like his old tub-a-lub self.
We called the vets office and asked how this could happen and they said that someone had picked Tubby to pay to get treated for his illness and Tubby had been dropped off home when he had recovered.

It was a happy dream.

I had written a nice long new story of Mr Tubbyloves grand adventures and saved it as a draft till I could get back to it. Something happened though and it's been deleted.....It talked about Mr Tubbylove's Great Seattle Adventure. His last and final. For those of you who don't know, Travis and I had to put our dear Tubby down, he was apparently suffering from Fatty Liver Disease. So while in my dream I was overjoyed and happy I woke up feeling pretty sad.

I didn't remember it right away, but had that sad feeling all day and couldn't put my finger on why I felt that way. Then just as I was getting ready for bed I remembered. I told Travis about the dream and we both got a little teary, me more than him of course but you know me....

Anyway that's how things have been, Travis and I are both very relieved that Travis got a new better paying job pretty much right away and we credit the find to our brother Theron. We owe him a steak dinner, hopefully one day we can return the favor!!!
Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure Jacks lower center teeth are coming it. He's young I know it but it does happen....Also he's had a growth sput length wise! He was one the first button on the excersaucer for along time and just the day before yesterday I had to boost him up to the middle level!! He's going to be taller then his mama, this boy!!!

But that's not saying much ;)
