Is it Monday yet????

After the weekend we've had, we need Monday, BADLY! We woke up on Terry's 33rd birthday to a neighborhood of slashed tires. Guess what Terry got for his birthday? TWO slashed tires on his truck! YAY! And those tires, which are full of luxurious goodness, loads of rubber, and sporty to boot cost $225 each to replace. And you just can't get them anywhere, because no one but Goodyear makes that size. Oh, joy! And they can't get them from the warehouse until Monday, so we are out of a car again, for the weekend. As luck would have it (since Terry got slashed tires AND a favorite pilsner glass of his broken, by yours truly) State Farm came through for us and is reimbursing us for the tires soon, we hope, under our comprehensive policy...which has a zero deductible. Thank goodness for insurance!!!!!

Then today was the day. Bullseye, the black cutie that we've housed and loved on since he was born on July 4th, went to his new home. Talk about a hard day! That kitten was so flippin' cute and I had just assumed we would overlook the fact that we weren't keeping any of the kittens and just keep the last two that we had....unspoken words, ya know? Well, my friend Bobbie found him a home, knowing that too many cats is just too many cats, and well, thank you for that Bobbie. But now I expect a full report daily on how Bullseye is doing what he's doing, where he's sleeping, how he likes the long haired guinea pig he's living with, etc, since he lives across the street from you, so far away from his "Goshen family!" I will admit, I was the only one of the Casey household to cry over this event, and it just made the weekend that much more, well, crappy!

We are looking forward to the alarm blaring in our ears at 4:30am, dragging ourselves out of a bed for another workday before the sun comes up. Can't wait....seriously!
