I *might* but just a little happier. I wouldn't count on it, tho. This is as thrilled as I get.....

Miracles really do happen.

Thank you to all of you who were so very kind to me during Sandy's stay at the hospital. After 4 days and hundreds of dollars, the conclusion is that she was "poisoned" by something that she ate. Her glucose (blood sugar) was very low. When Dave brought her in it was at 20..normal is 100. She was knock, knocking on deaths door. The vets ran test to make sure that it wasn't liver disease, kidney failure or cancer. She had ultra sounds, blood work and a constant IV drip of glucose and antibiotics

On Wednesday night we got *the* phone call.... I had been dreading this call. The vet told us that she had one more test to run. This test would show if she had a tumor on her pancreas. The vet almost sure that this was her issue. (all the signs were pointing to this outcome) It would mean that we would be putting her to sleep. Tumors on the pancreas have no cure. I didn't want to get the kids hopes up with Sandy being home, most of all I didn't want to come home to a dead dog laying on my living room floor. Dave and I sat the kids down and told them the horrible news. Chris, Dave and I laid in Chris' bed and cried. I spent the rest of the night was tear stained cheeks alone in the dark. If it wasn't for the constant hand holding from everyone... I would have lost it completely. The words from the vet kept running threw my head.... Prepare your family for the worst. We are at the end of the line.

Running this test would mean she had to take Sandy of the glucose IV. (That totally freaked me out) Her levels were s l o w l y coming back up with major help from the IV meds. Nothing really made complete since as to why she was so very sick. At Sandy's last level check she was at 60 with the medians.

Fast forward to Thursday morning... I get a call from Dave at 7 am. My heart drops. I knew that she hadn't made it. Her levels droped.. she had more seizers... urg... my mind was going crazy. That isn't what he said... he said... She made it! Her levels were at 80 without any medians. It's a freaking Christmas miracle. Sandy is home. She is weak, on lots of medians and eating special food... but she is home. We are a family of 7 once again. And that, makes this a great Christmas season.

I have Tits on my mind.

Taking a break from the crazies to talk about our loves Sandy.. tits... McGee... GeeGee. She is very sick.

I woke to her laying in the same place that I left her the night before. As soon as I closed the door from Chris going to school she started yelp. That sad dogie cry. She was seizing and her eyes were glassy her head was limp. I called Dave at 7am crying.. no totally freaking out. He turned right around and came to get Sandy. In the next 15 mins she had at least 5 seizers. Dave took awesome care of our fur baby. After hours of medicine and tests, we found that she has fluid in abdomen and low levels of glucose. She is getting an ultrasound tomorrow morning. We still don't know what is wrong. The meds may make it all better or it could be cancer.. .or who the hell knows. It's not looking very good, tho.

I knew that my puppies were part of our family. They ARE our family. It feels like a family member is missing.

You guys are going to think that I am making this crazy crap up, I swear I am not.

karynismommy: it's ok.. have a good dayThis is what BOY looks like in my head. I'm surprised he has internet. This awesome catch wants to date someone when he doesn't have a job, he must be smart. I should I have known better than to chat with someone at 1pm on a Thursday.

I was talking to a friend about where are all the GOOD ones are? Her answer... They are all at WORK! Duh.. work.. shit.

I'm too old for this shit....

I was told by someone really ROCKN' that I should blog about my dating experiences. It's not so much dating as it is instant message dating. I swear I'm not a total loser... just a little bit of one.

So, here is one convo I had with someone...

Brad J: want to see a picture?
karynismommy: sure
Brad J: there are 2
karynismommy: that isn't you
karynismommy: I know it isn't... we have talked before... you sent me other pics... said your cousin hacked into your POF account... and shit.
Brad J: well it damn sure aint my twin
karynismommy: U sent me to your myspace... I know what you look like
karynismommy: You are into wrestling... and have shoulder length blondish hair
Brad J: no...
karynismommy: you are taking other peoples pics and posting as your own.
karynismommy: You are lying
karynismommy: You still live at home... and don't have a car... you work in the deli
karynismommy: You are a little skeezy lier
karynismommy: If you are going to TRY and pick up on older women you need to 1. be smart and B. DON'Tl lie so badly you get caught.

Needless to say, he didn't respond back. Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them.

BOY: what ya wearing
karynismommy: why would you ask me that?
BOY: well ya waearing PJ's
karynismommy: I'm not telling you...
karynismommy: That is not a classy thing to ask
BOY: lol
BOY: your to sensitive
karynismommy: no... I'm not a slut
BOY: that wasnt a comment asking you if you was or not
karynismommy: I don't want some guy who I haven't met ask me those types of questions... if you ask me those without meeting me.. .how are you going to be when *if* we meet?

I mean really? REALLY? Would he say that to my face? Would he even ask me that one the phone? I totally think not. Why ohhhhhhhhh freaking why is it ok on IM?

Is THIS the caliber of guys that I attract? If so, I am doomed.

Tap.. Tap.. anyone here?

*clearing my throat*

Here I am in my new home on the great wide world of tubes. I'm quite sure that the look and feel of this place will go thew some changes. I think that my first few post will be about what I look at everyday on the net.

My latest obsession is a web based TV-ish show. It's from the creators of My So-Called life. Do you remember that show? Holy hells I love it. Why ohhh why did Claire Danes not come back to do more? Any who... It's all about a video bloger. They are on show 9. Quarterlife (that's the name BTW) is AWESOME SHIT! Go right now and watch it. There are now parts every Sunday.
