Can Food Grow Legs?

So Zachary an I spent a few days together, just me and him and I must say, it was really nice. Although I did need a mental break towards the end of day 3!

We were driving in the car and Zachary found part of a gift box in the back seat. It was the part that perforated and supposed to be removed. So he is studying it and when I mean studying, I mean this kid was lost in another world looking at.

Finally he said "Mom, what does safe for food mean?"

He was sitting next to me in the front seat and I looked at him kind a funny and he says "This a part of the gift box you used for Rick's gift, it says safe for food. What does that mean, food can't break out of it?" OH - MY- GOODNESS

Now this came from one very serious young man. Like he actually thought the food would try to escape.

Trying not to laugh, I said "No, it means it is OK to put food in the box."

All I get is a funny look and an "Oh, OK", it was almost like he didn't believe me. After that one I really needed a capresso! I get a lot of those "scratch your head in wonder comments" but nothing quite like that one...awww..out of the mouths of babes!

It's Gone..

I made it through the end of my week! I now have over 10 inches of hair to donate to Locks of Love, Zachary had his toe done and I must say he did much better than I would have and I never made it to the eye doctor. Freakin snow!

We also have a new pet, a Beta Fish named Spike. I went to Walmart on Thursday to look at dehumidifiers and came out with a fish. Zachary was with me and I have sucker written all over my forehead and he knows it! I just hope the cats don't find it and eat it!

Busy, Busy

I have a busy 2 days off, today is what I like to call makeover day and Zach has an appointment in the afternoon. Friday Zach is going to the podiatrist to have one of the nastiest ingrown toenails I have ever seen looked at and then I am off to the eye doctor.

I have been having some major issues with my right eye lately. Sometimes I feel like I need to use reading magnifiers. It has been muh worse than worsening eye sight. Sometimes I just can't see out of that eye! It is really scary! I hope all turns out well when I go.

Makeover Day

I am sooo excited, I have Thursday and Friday off from work and Thursday is makeover day! I am in need of a haircut something fierce. It has has been about 1 year and 4 months since my last hair cut. See that pic to the left? It will soon be replaced with a new one! That pic is about 10 months old and doesn't even show how much longer my hair has grown. Tomorrow, is the day, the Cousin It look will be gone. I should have made up some funny t-shirts about my look, but no worries, a new cut and fresh highlights are on the way! I can't wait!

What Can Be Done?

Yesterday was a very long day for me. I couldn't concentrate at work and I couldn't get that story about the slaughterhouse out of my head. My husband hadn't heard about it until I mentioned it to him and while I was walking on the treadmill, he got to see the story for himself.

My husband has always liked animals, but I don't think he had a whole lot of compassion for all types of animals until he met me. Even he looked sad over this, usually he gets mad at me for watching these types of things. Usually it has to do with me spending to much time at the PETA website, he tried to ban me from going there. I don't go there often because I have been known to cry up a storm, I can't eat and overall, I just get depressed. I think I am in the wrong line of work, I really think maybe I should have or should go and do something for animals.
