Life's a peach

It has been a long time since I wrote anything and yet so much has happened and continues to happen my head spins..............crazily!

So July 28th in the late afternoon I took 3 of the 5 kittens to the animal shelter..........they assured me over and over they do not "kill" there. I was also told many many times that they do a 72 hour hold on them before they put them up for adoption. So on Monday July 30th I called to check on them and see how they were handling the change only to find out that on Sunday morning..........less than 24 hours after I dropped them off they "put them down because they were very ill with upper respiratory illness" Total bunch of lies and I was soooooooooooooo angry and hurt. I trusted what they told me and they lied. I tried to call back and get a supervisor and of course they were closed. So I had to cry and be upset all night about this and pray it was a mistake. Called Tuesday morning and got the kennel supervisor and she confirmed the worse. She had personally done it. I chewed her a new ass and I mean screamed at her. How dare they do that! The 2 I kept at home are fine and so were the other 3. She said no one had noted that these kittens were fostered and that they had been simply listed as strays..............I TOLD them when I dropped em off that I had fostered them for 8 or 9 weeks! I will be looking into options on what to do about this and file a formal complaint. I feel so guilty, my kids ask how they are and I cannot tell them the truth! Horrible horrible horrible place!

Hubby still loving his job, he is getting tired of the OT but we really need the money since we still have 1 income.....more on that later. Bad news is the Union took a strike vote and it passed 97%. It is contract time and they are pushing hard.....apparently not much is known it is hush hush other than 3 letters informing the staff a strike was imminent, that happens and we go bankrupt. What more could happen............oh here's more.

I got denied for Social Security Disability and now have to start an appeal process...if I get denied again I have to wait a YEAR.......yes a stinking rotten YEAR for a hearing. Yeah yeah I know I get back pay but how does that help me now?? How do people survive? Yet people with mental illness or drug/alcohol addiction usually get approved first time! How is that right? I know and agree on the mental illness part but alcohol/drug addiction?? That's a self inflicted illness.................mine is not! I have no choice in the matter and really wish I did because I would most definitely NOT have this disease if I had a choice. Seems unfair to me :-(

Kids are doing well, still a handful but doing well. Staying healthy to! Boys went back to school on August 23rd. Brian is repeating Kindergarten with Mrs.Wisely whom is an awesome teacher. I debated long and hard on this but it is what is best for Brian since he was a "young" 5 when he started school...Bday is in March. Robbie is in 3rd grade and has a very cool teacher!! He already likes school....last year was a nightmare for him since his teacher was really aloof and unfriendly. Feels good not to have my son going to school crying everyday like he did last year. not one meltdown so far! whoo hooo! We are getting geared up to celebrate Robbie's 9th birthday Sept 24th.....wow I have a 9 year old!

Me.............so much going on yet hard to explain. Pain.....it is a daily hassle for me and I have a primary doc that either A) doesn't understand my disease or B) does not care. I am thinking it is both so I will be looking for a new doc ASAP. He refused to fill out papers for Social Security to....what a jerk. I won't get into detail about me right now.....just way to much going on to get into. I'll save that for another time.

Hope all my friends and family are well!
