The Sickness Continues

Apparently, when we get sick in this house, we do it right. Not only do the people get sick, but the dog does too. We finally have 4 healthy people living in our house and today, Daisy started acting weird. She was shaking all day and kind of slinking around. Then, she started hiding in really weird spots in our house. I found her on top of the grocery bags first. Then later, I found her laying on a blanket in Alexander's room and that is a place that she never goes. Nathan and I decided that she probably needed to see a doctor. So, I took her to the emergency vet because, of course, we always get super sick on Sunday. They did all sorts of tests to the tune of $613.00! The diagnosis ended up being that we think she ate too much of the kids' food. Her stomach is too full and she is dehydrated. Now she is on special food and 4 different prescriptions. Hopefully she feels better soon because she looks super sick right now. When will life be a little less crazy!

Mom's Club Woes

I haven't written anything about me in a very long time, so I decided to share some of my feelings tonight. My feelings tonight are about joining a mom's club. I would like to be a member of some sort of club. I'm not great at making friends and I would like to have friends who would like to get together for play dates with the kids and me. I can't really afford babysitters, so I do most things during the day with my kids. I also want the kids to play with other kids. Right now, we don't do anything with other kids because the kids in our neighborhood are all older than mine. They spend a lot of time in our house or doing errands with us. It is pretty boring for them and for me. There is a local mom's club that I could join, but I am hesitant to try it. A lot of the parents from my school are members and I feel like I would be walking in as the teacher instead of just another mom. It might be a strange situation. I would like to belong to a group of working mothers who go through the same issues that I go through everyday. I'd especially like a group of moms who are teachers because then we could plan a lot of playdate activities in the summer. These are my thoughts for tonight. If anyone else feels this way, please let me know. It would be nice to know that I am not alone in my feelings!
