Randomness

I don't know what to blog about, so I'll just post some random newsy facts. :-)

-Levi had a checkup today. He'll be 9 months old tomorrow. (Friday) He now weighs 17 lbs, and he's 26.5 inches long. Just a little bitty guy; only in the 3rd percentile for weight and height!

-Levi has picked up a few signs, like "milk", "more", "eat", and "all done" with very little effort on my part. He's a smartie! He's also started giving me kisses when I ask for one, or when I say "I love you". Toooooo cute!

-Our abandoned kittens are doing well. After I gave one away and brought 2 in the house, mama kitty started nursing the remaining 3. Now all 5 are back outside, nursing some, and eating regular dry cat food.

-Things are still a bit of a mess with my sister M. Mom paid her bail Sunday so she could get out of jail and go back to work. Yesterday and today she's been calling my mom crying....I called M today and she just bawled hysterically in the phone and told me she wished she was gone, she just wants to be gone. Then she hung up on me. :-p This afternoon has been a mess--I've been crying, worrying about M and Emily, my mom's been fretting, wondering what, if anything, she should do. So far this afternoon, M has told her husband they're through and she's leaving him, my mom went and picked up Emily and M, and they're going to stay with her a couple days until M decides what to do. Who knows what's next. I've told M she can come stay with me for a few days if she needs to but I don't know that that's going to happen....I don't think she wants to be this far away from home.

-After a couple of wonderful weeks with Jeremy being around home a lot more, farm work is back in swing. Wheat drilling is ready to start, then maybe another small break, then fall harvest.

-I am so sad that the good guys (like my sweet husband) who work their tails off, so often seem to get the "short end of the stick" in life and nothing comes easy for them, while others (one example would be my brother R) cheat and lie their way through life and never get caught and live in the lap of luxury.

-I'm going to vote for MCCAIN AND PALIN '08. :-) I had been very unenthusiastic about both candidates until Sarah Palin came along. She's very....refreshing. It's interesting to me how this challenges my feelings; I'm a firm believer that women should be home, taking care of their families.....but then Palin came along and she's so encouraging/interesting/rare (for a politician) that I don't know what to think of her position. LOL

OK, this post is getting long enough for today. Tata!
