$418. That's how much I had to spend at the vet today to see what we can do to get our big cat to stop pooping and peeing around the house. Not to mention the $5k we have already spent to replace most of the carpet in our house to laminate flooring. When I mentioned to the vet that we only have two rooms left that are carpeted, he told me that we should get rid of that too. I mentioned that we didn't do those two rooms because we couldn't afford it, and he was nice about it, but said that we need to get that done as soon as possible. Easy for him to say. Then he told me he was going to give me some feramone plugins to "make the cats happier", he didn't tell me they were $60 each! That, plus the physical, medication to calm her down, bloodworkup etc, well, it just all added up. We also have to figure out how to add two more litters to our house, with the dogs here thats rough. Also, we have to remove all rugs and make sure that our big cat doesn't have access to any carpeting. She also has to sleep in the laundry room now because she can't sleep in our bedroom anymore because of our carpeting. That's going to make our little cat sad I'm sure. Sadly, I'm just ready to find her a new home, but I know that's not fair to her or our little cat who has never once had an accident.
Dad asked me if I started looking for a new job yet. Is he trying to give me a hint? Sometimes I really regret ever getting involved in a family business. It really puts a lot of stress on the business, especially when the business is failing, and failing fast. I just hope it can last through the end of the year, but I'm not sure.
DH (dear husband) has been looking for a new job every night. He loves where he works, but the hours & responsibility do not match the low pay he is getting. We need more money, and we need him to be home on weekends. My son is just now getting into Tball, and if my DH has to work every Saturday, he won't be able to come to the games and that will just devastate my son.
My "eating lifestyle" change has been put on hold. I did really good, lost 25 pounds but now I'm stuck in a rut. I know it's stress and anxiety, but I really need to get back on it. I was doing really well, I loved exercising, but since we found out about my daughters need for occupational therapy, that's really was the last stress straw.
We go see my inlaws next week. Monday through Friday. I am so not looking forward to the drive there, it's six hours with two little kids, but I am so looking forward to the break from work, house and everything else. The kids will stay with my inlaws so we will be staying at the hotel by ourselves. We actually splurged, and paid $25 more per night just to have a jacuzzi tub because I am going to drown myself in it every night. It will be a nice break for us, we need it. It's been a crazy year.
