Mirror Image
Today's theme is Mirror Image. I'm going to try and put on a happy face today even though happy is the oposite of what I feel right now. The kitties are slowly leaving me, they have wonderful, loving homes. Still, it doesn't help my grief. But right now my happy face is on.
Today was a half day of school and we had parent teacher conferences. Not much new there, same old, same old. The class got a new ginea pig recently so we got to see him. So cute, looks like one of our kitties, all browns and blacks and tan and white. Just a cutie. That was in the fourth grade classroom. My second grader did not need a conference so we just skipped home and relaxed after that. Nice quiet afternoon.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, I got some gardening done. We had gone to Lowes and picked up only a few plants for my back garden. A few because it doesn't get any sun so I needed to find plants that required little to no sunlight. After planting them I can see how much room I have left so now I can go back and get some more. Thats going to have to wait though because today is cold and windy, raining. Supposed to stay this way for most of the week, possibly with some snow mixed in there. Where did the spring go? That was fast! lol
The weekend went by rather quickly, we didn't do much. The kids just played outside and I got the house cleaned up spotless. I want to get started on the basement which is going to take the longest because we have a lot piled up. I need to pick up a box of garbage bags and then the basement is going to be where I'll be spending most of my time. But then when its done its done! We can have the central air put in and we'll be set for the summer.
This weeks going to go slow for me, I really need to find something, anything to keep my mind occupied. The loss of my kitties has me so devestated, even though I know its meant to be, its for the best. I had so hoped I could keep just one. But I need to remember what is best for them, and keep my emotions out of it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week! I'm planning on getting back to journals this week after I cheer up a bit. I welcome any words of encouragement!

I know the feeling about the kittens. I've been raising quite a few litters. I take in strays and try to rehome them, sometimes unfortunately they are already pregnant. If you love having the kittens around, you might want to check with your local Animal Care Counsel, shelter and see if they need foster mother's for kittens. I'm sure they would be delighted to have whatever help they can get. Usually you end up feeding and caring for the kittens until the agency finds new homes for them. Sometimes your on a waiting list as there are no kittens but most usually they are swamped. (Hugs) Indigo

I'm sorry about the kitties; it must be hard to have them go to new homes when you have been like a second mother to them; they are so cute!
just think of the joy a new household will have with them and how spoiled each kittie might be in his/her own household

I'm sorry to read that you are feeling down. It doesn't take much for us to get attached to kittens and puppies, does it? (I guess that's why we have six dogs -- we kept two from each of our "momma" dogs' litters! lol) I'm dropping by, by way of Dan's Guest Editor Picks, and I'll certainly be back to check in with you again. I hope that you have a great week!
