some updates
I know I barely post anything sorry about that. :)
Here are some update type things:
First, my cat is doing a lot better. I posted that he was losing hair and had some scabs, so we took him to the vet. He got an allergy shot and a de-wormer last week and his fur looks so much better. We're not sure if it was worms (they didn't find any) or if he is allergic to something. The shot lasts about a month, so we'll see. Thankfully the shot is only about 15.00 and they don't charge for a visit when he gets one.
Second, my son got his report card the other day. He got straight A's, except in handwriting, which he got a D. We're not too fussed because the poor kid comes from a long line of people with horrible handwriting. The grades are a huge victory though. As some of you may know, Gabe has ADHD. He is not medicated. I credit his grades to his school. We moved to this district about this time last year, before he was labeled ADHD. When the new school tested him, they sprung into action. He has small group reading and math classes. (He was recently taken out of the reading class and put back into regular reading because he did so well.) They keep us updated and they do a wonderful job. Also, I slightly changed his diet. Mostly I just don't buy soda and only buy 100% juice. I'm convinced red dye 40 and it's kin are the enemy. Also high fructose corn syrup is a big no-no. We're just doing everything we can to keep him off medication.
Hmmm that's about it except I can write more crap about video games I'm looking forward too. I swear Nintendo should pay me for all the times I babble about the Wii. LOL
And our recent problem with a new neighbor's cat that sprays the outside of our house and rips up our trash. I know a lot of people let their cats roam free. I don't and my cats are fixed and can't spray. This cat has already ruined an umbrella that I left on the porch. And it pissed all over the trash cans. If anyone has some ideas on how to keep it away, please share. :)
