I saw this briefly on the Today show yesterday and it must have caused a big enough stink to warrant another interview with the deceased girl’s family this morning. This whole situation is tragic. That no charges can be pressed is horrific. That another mother did this to see if this young girl, Megan, was talking behind her daughter’s back is reprehensible. What the hell is wrong with people? I can’t express how awful I feel for this family and for their loss. Read the story at msnbc.com for more information. I can’t believe that the mother who did this is giving Megan’s parents grief about going public. TOUGH CRAP. To quote Robert Plant, from a song on Raising Sand, “Remember baby, you gotta reap just what you sow.” Obviously, if this other woman is upset about Megan’s parents going public, she must know in her heart that what she did was WRONG!
Other than that my day has been great. Started off with a trip to the vet’s with my cat who was bleeding. Come to find out he has a UTI and an abscess on the base of his tail from where another one of my cats attacked him a few weeks ago. Ahhhhhhhh! Figured it was a UTI, but had no idea that he had an abscess so I felt awful. He also needs to go on a diet and lose 4 lbs. I am not sure how that would translate to human pounds, but I do know that right now I have a very unhappy kitty. Maybe he and I can start the treadmill thing together. Seeing as though it is still acting as a clothesrack. I am now wondering what to do about Thanksgiving. We are supposed to be traveling to my in-laws house for dinner, which is 4 hours away. However, I have to give Chester two pills a day for two weeks and I cannot let him go without meds. Not happening. I have had a UTI before and I refuse to put anything through that pain. I am wondering if my handsome husband is going to venture forth with the family sans me to go North. I have been with both of my boys 24/7 for 4 plus years. No breaks. Never away from them overnight. But I am having delusions of grandeur thinking that perhaps I would have a couple of days by myself to read, sleep, clean, write, quilt and go to the bathroom uninterrupted. Isn’t that awful? What a mother. I love them more than life, which is probably why I don’t have one right now. I would be thankful for a little break.
Other than that I have been filling out unemployment info and worker’s comp stuff for my husband’s business. Deadbeat employees really blow. They create so much paperwork. I don’t get paid enough to fill it all out. Anyhow, that is how things are going today at this house. Hope all is well with you.
I’ve written 500 words!
