A Quick Lamentation

I've canvassed the neighborhood. I've called everyone I know who lives near me to be on the lookout. I've pestered all the neighbors. I've called animal control, the vets, the humane society and a local lost and found group. I've put an ad in the paper. Still no Bosley. To answer a question... Bosley was not micro chipped because when we got him he was so small and sick. He was going to get it this week. Bad timing. Sophie just keeps saying that Bosley went to Aunt Shell's house (Jacob's sister). I'm not sure why she thinks that, but at this point we are just going with it.

Keegan is sick again. Or still sick, I guess depending on how you look at it. Maybe he never really was well, but he just can't seem to kick his fever. Last night it was 103.4 and even with Tylenol never goes much below 100. We are kind of at a loss for what is wrong. Today the doctor ordered blood tests done to check his liver and kidney function, his white blood cell count and a urinalysis to check for any infections. I botched the first urine catch, and I have one more bag to try to get it right. The tests should be back soon, we'll have to see what they say.

Normally I don't use my blog to vent like this, but I'm just gonna be real here: I'm feeling pretty beat down. Between all the above and work being crazy busy and lack of quality husband time, I'm just plain tired. I've got a CASA trip planned this weekend and I can't even seem to get myself psyched about it... instead it's just one more thing to do. I know once I get there I'll have a good time, and to be honest the break from the kids will probably be nice. Especially since they have been so fussy. But I really need to get my butt into gear to make plans to get up there, etc...

On the bright side, my last day of work for the semester is December 12th, and that's not too far off. It'll just be insane until then. I also have a ton of my Christmas shopping done, which may seem random to add here, but it's a mark on the bright side.

I wish my kid would feel better. I wish my dog would come home. I wish the Weekly World News was still in print so I had something to laugh at in the grocery aisle. I wish this post weren't so pathetic sounding :). Mostly I wish for number one on this list.
