Hey - popping in! Will be back more in a bit Posted by Karen on April 1, 2009, 11:29 am Been hectic here. Mom and her father are having health issues... Also want to talk family drama - and lack of common sense! Not good... Doug has been travelling a lot - sucks... But hey it is additional pay! Sheltie Pacesetter has decided to do a tribute to my mother, sister and myself for the work we have done behind the scenes (like my dog bite prevetion program) so that was a crapola load of typing, organizing pictures, etc - but that has been completed (plus people get cheap ad rates for the tribute - hint hint for those using my dog safety program and want to highlight their work! LOL - www.sheltie.com ) A few interviews and a bunch of tough dog clients. AND I sub teach at Sarah's school so that means my mornings of computer time may be full. Just completed an application for sub for the elementary schools starting next fall - yeah, this will mean two part time jobs during the school year if I can get in as a sub, loads of applicants One the plus side - the kids were instrumental in getting a Gr Ch on one of Gramma's dogs. Connor is an alternate in a math competition in two weeks. Sarah registers for kindergarten today. D'Argo had major surgery a couple weeks back for two FAST growing lipomas... I have been burned out and had to escape the drama of the boards and concentrate on taking care of me, the kids and the dogs for a bit. I will be back shortly (Sheltie Nationals are in two weeks and that will be a lot of hell). Then I plan on getting back to boards and such. Great = now fox news is on the phone re recent pit bull attack...  Post a Response

It just gets worse I think... Posted by Karen on April 3, 2009, 6:48 pm, in reply to "Great pics and wins :)" Mom emailed, Grandpa is in the hospital again. I am gettign irritated with family as he is not able to safely live alone - even with a home health aid 24 hours (they cannot admin his meds, just help him and call 911 if needed). And he is wandering (mental status altered due to strokes and poorly managed diabetes). His body dies not register to his brain when he has an infection so he canbe deathly ill and not know it. It is taking its toll on my Mom and her family and causing huge rifts. This sucks... I am actually angry at my family for nto taking a stronger stance when my grandmother wanted to go to a group living community years ago - had they done this, chances are she would be alive today. But I cannot live in the past. But I will be in and out until things settle and then hopefully back more.  Post a Response
