Hi all,



It seems that I am finding less and less time to get in here to read and post, and even less time to scrap!! Why does life have to get in the way?? LOL.



Hi to all the newbies, and prayers for all who need them. I'm sorry, but I just don't have the time to read everyones posts at the moment, so marking as read and will hopefully get some time to come back in later and go back over things. I've replied to a couple and will do my best to catch up!!



Toby is completely recovered now, and is fabulous to have him back to his usual self Thank goodness, we are so thankful that he was able to pull through (no so thrilled about the vet bill though $785!!) Boy did that put a hole in the old purse!!



Tim is up and down. Last week, he was lovely, and we really thought that things were improving, but alas, today he lashed out again! There is another mention at court this friday coming, so it's still up in the air as to what is going to happen.... At the moment it is anyones guess.



His teacher called me from school today to tell me that he has headlice EEWWW!!! So, as soon as he got home I treated his head and stripped off his bed etc... (and ours). It was only 2wks ago that I had to bleach the whole house through... a womans work is never done. I hope I got all the bugs!!



DH is going to treat my hair tonight (I have long hair and can't do it myself), and I will have to treat his as well.. I guess it's best to do all three of us to make sure right?



Anyhoo, that's all I have to report from Down Under.... hopefully I will get some scrapping time soon.... I'm having withdrawals!!! LOL.



Lots of luv, Cec....xxx


Hey sis,

I know what you mean, I can't even remember the last time I had the chance to scrap.....so glad Toby is better, can't wait to see him again. Hopefully things with Tim will settle down soon, if "people" didn't have to affect him so......Take care chook, prayer & hugs sent your way

Luv Em

Oh my Cec you are busy. Glad to hear Toby is doing well and yeah vet bills can sure be a pain. I have a geriatric dog and she's really been costing us a lot that last year or so. Sure hope you get some time to yourself soon.

Lynne

Oh you poor thing. Having to deal with lice. I bet your head is iching just thinking about it. I know mine is. Good luck. I hope your and your DH doesn't get it.

Hugs.

Life has a bad tendancy to mess things up, doesn't it? I hope the headlice goes away very quickly. And hopefully things will settle down some very soon so you can get back to scrapping!

Cec, I'm glad things are going better for Toby. Good luck with Tim, everybody has their ups and downs, I guess..dont worry...you are doing a great job! EWW to the head lice, that is never fun to deal with. It makes ya feel so dirty, but yet lice like CLEAN hair!! Yes do be sure and do everybodys hair, and dont forget to treat brushes and combs too! I had to help my neice with her kids lice problem last summer, and it was an all DAY job with both of us doing it! And YES, I AGREE!!! ......a womans work is NEVER done, so it will still be there for ya after you find some time for YOU to scrap! :-) :-) :-)

I'm glad to hear Toby is completely recovered. Good luck with the court date on Friday. My thoughts are with you. Yuck about the lice. Hopefully you will get rid of them quickly. Hang in there!

Cec, At least there was some good news out of the day. Glad Toby is getting better. Ouch!!! What a bill, but I'm sure it was a small price to pay for Getting him well and back home. There are always ups and downs to raising a child. I'm sure Tim is just reacting to the upcoming hearing in the only way he knows how. Head Lice! I remember the 'old days' when I got paid to help families with chronic cases of lice where the children were constantly missing school. Don't forget to clean the vehicles as well as the house. Have youe received your NSSSF package yet? I can't believe it is taking this long. I mailed mine to you a week before your mailed yours to me and I got mine a week ago. Take care and good luck, Sandy

Hi Sandy,

No the package hasn't arrived as yet :o( I check the box every day! I'm sure it will arrive, all in good time. Don't worry about it. luv Cec...xxx

Thanks chook, I know what you mean about the effect others are having on Tim, life would be a LOT easier if there were no outside influences, but unfortunately that goes with the territory of foster care! luv Cec....xxx

Thanks Lynne, The joys and heartaches of having furbabies.... but, we wouldn't change it for the world! luv Cec...xxx

Thanks Shannon, I treated Tim, then last night I treated DH - he showed up nothing, and DH treated me, and I was all clear too.... thank goodness!!! But, it's better to be safe than sorry. luv Cec..xxx

Thanks Deb, Yeah life is a pain at times, sometimes I just wish I had a magic machine to hold time still for a while... LOL, not quite sure what that would achieve if anything though. luv Cec...xxx

Oh Cec, Sorry to hear about the little critters you all have invading your hair! Ugh! I think everyone has to go through that at some time or other. I can remember way back in the dark ages ,I got those little buggers and my hair was to my waist, Mom just about flipped ! The treatment then was much harsher than today and it was an ordeal ! I got them at school. Good luck with the treatment and hang in there sweetie.

Hugs, Sabrina
