It’s been well over a year now since I had to put my cat down. She was really old and got sick and ended up going crazy. It was so hard for me to do. I got her as a kitten when I was only 15. Her Mother was a wild feral cat that had got stuck in the basement of the bar my Mother worked in and gave birth to kittens then abandoned them. When I got my kitty she was wild. It took months for her to even go near any of us. She lived in my closet and I had to put a cat box in there and feed her in there and everything. Eventually she warmed up though and became less frightened. And she turned out to be the most loving cat I’ve ever had. Although she would still hide if there were strangers around. And she lived her whole life upstairs afraid to go downstairs.

Ever since we had to put her down my son has been asking for a new pet. Preferably a cat though lately he’s been asking for a dog as well. I’m thinking that maybe we should adopt a pet once we move into the new house. I think he would really like that. Plus there’s so many cats and dogs out there that need homes.

Petango.com – Adopt a cat! is where I’ve been searching. This site is awesome. You can search by city state or zip. You can also search shelters in your area the same way! I really want a black cat this time. Hopefully I can get one soon. It would make my son really happy. he’s still sad about losing our old cat.

My sons friend asked him to sleep over tonight. I’ve been dreading this question for a long time now. I had to say no and felt really bad. There’s no way Ryan can possibly sleep anywhere with how he’s been. He’s afraid to go to sleep by himself for one. He even asks people to stand outside the bathroom when he has to go. A few weeks ago when he was over my aunts he wet his pants because he was embarassed to ask her to walk him to the bathroom but also too afraid to go by himself since all the kids were playing downstairs and the bathroom was upstairs. I really hope he can get over this soon. He should be better once we move into the new house I’m hoping.

I should call his friends Mom tomorrow and explain why I said no. I feel really bad about it.

Since I’ve been slacking off on Entrecard lately I ended up dropping on 300 blogs tonight. This is something that shouldn’t take much time at all. Especially with the toolbar. Sadly however it ends up taking forever because some blogs load extremely slow. It also doesn’t help that my cable here isn’t the fastest. It should be better once the new house is done and I can finally move.

I personally think that a good host is the best investment any website or blog owner can make. If your website loads quickly and correctly all the time you’re more likely to have regular visitors and readers. It throws people off if every time they visit your site there are images and posts that fail to load.

Good web site hosting doesn’t have to be expensive either. There are plenty out there with completely fair prices. And sites like Webhostinggeeks.com make it that much easier to find just what you’re looking for. They show the top ten rated hosts and even offer categories such as “best budget web hosting”, “best blog web hosting”, “best reseller web hosting, etc.

It’s seriously something worth looking into if you’re into blogging or own your own website.

Yesterday, like many other people I was glued to the news watching the story of the six year old supposedly stuck in that hot air balloon over Colorado. And like everyone else scared to death thinking he may have fallen out of it when it landed and he wasn’t inside. In the end it ended up being a hoax. He was hiding in his attic the whole time or something.

Still the question remains, why the hell would people with small children build something like that in their backyard? What if one of them really had been inside it?

My sleep is so messed up right now. With Ryan being sick for 4 nights I couldn’t sleep at ALL. All night long he had a fever. I kept having to give him Motrin and Tylenol every 4 hours, alternating between them. And as soon as I’d finally doze off he’d wake me up. He talks in his sleep and sleepwalks. And with the fever it was worse than ever.

Now I can’t seem to get my sleeping schedule back on track. I’ve always been somewhat of a night owl. It’s partly why I had such trouble in school when I was a kid. It sucks. I end up napping in the strangest times and then being up all hours of the night.

I should probably get an hour or two of sleep in before Ryan gets home from school. I slept a total of 30 minutes last night.

It really scares me how many people want to get the H1N1 Vaccine for their children. The fact that so many people let the media scare them severely enough to get something that’s barely been tested shot into their children’s veins is. baffling. Are parents really that much of sheep?

It reminds me of a few years ago when some small hick town in the middle of nowhere thought that they were going to be attacked by terrorists “next” and it was all over the news. All the people preparing. Everyone frightened that they were going to be attacked by some disease or bomb. WHY would anyone attack some random small town that has nothing to do with anything?

I don’t get people anymore. I don’t like how stupid this country has become.

I suggest that if you’re one of those parents who is planning to get this vaccine for your child you should do a little reading on the subject first. A simple google even. Just PLEASE know the risks before getting this for your children. They depend on you to make important decisions for them.
