Just an August update

Earlier in the week my husbands one beagle started not eating we thought it was a rotted tooth and got him to go vet. It turned out to be Lyme disease and even after treatment and my husband feeding him liquid food with a syringe and giving him fluids for his failing kidneys he still died last night.
My oldest daughter who lives with her boyfriend left for a week vacation.
They are all staying in a huge rental house in North Carolina. She is so excited. He is driving her and he doesn’t like driving on the highway and almost never does so I am one worried mama. It’s a 10 hour drive. He has autism and I am worried this is going to be a bit much on him. Thankfully his parents are following behind so if he does get overwhelmed they could take over.
Today was my son’s first game. It’s a football game but he plays base and guitar for the band. New this year they started a marching band and the songs they played at half time were Rush. I really enjoyed watching this.
Tomorrow my son, my youngest daughter and I are going school shopping and a final ice cream shop visit for the summer. His first day of 11th grade is Monday.
The photo is unrelated and is just to brighten up the post. It is some flowers I have seen this summer.

When I read your FB posts I always think the local Chamber of Commerce should hire you. You find the neatest places to go shop. And lots of fun things to do.

@GardenGerty that sure would be a fun job for me. There’s a site called Macaroni Kid where they share local events and things. I thought that would be a good fit for me but I’m not sure if I they have the job available in my area and I feel Ike I wouldn’t be a very good writer. I may look into it more when she gets closer to school age .

Safe travels for your daughter. Couldn't she do some of the driving?

@snowy22315 no she doesn’t drive. She was born with nystagmus.

Animal loss is painful. At least you two tried. Sometimes it's just their time. We did our best for Chilly, and all our cats. But, respected when it was their time to go.
Glad the rest of your week seemed to go well.

@kaylachan it definitely can be a hard and painful decision when it comes to our pets dying. When my 16 year old cat had to be put down I was sad but was relieved knowing she had lived a nice long life.,

@shaggin We had to do that for mama cat. It was not easy I am sure. Broke my heart, because Mama cat purred before her moment came. We think that was her way of being at peace with the decision.

@LindaOhio they sure did have a wonderful time I’m so happy for her. She just texted me today that she was officially diagnosed with autism today. We had thought for years she had it after my son was diagnosed and I learned about it. Didn’t really need a label but she wanted to have it ruled out or have it offical.

I am sorry you lost your dog. Lyme disease often has devastating effects on both people and animals.
Sounds like you are a busy mama as usual, and spending time with your family. I have to ask what a school shooing is? I am sure it's not a shooting, so I was simply curious.

@MarieCoyle thank you for pointing out my typo I appreciate that. It was supposed to say school shopping. I have fixed it now.
Yes I know some people who have had Lyme disease and got very sick. Many years after my brother in we had it he got Belz palsy from it.

@shaggin Oh gosh, I wasn't meaning to point out a type...I just wanted to rule out the school shooting thing, so I am really glad the word is shopping! Yay! Please forgive me, if I asked in the wrong way.
Yes, Lyme disease is mean and can have lasting effects.

@much2say September will be even busier. It’s been a nice but very busy summer. I like keeping busy though when so much of it was fun things.
My daughter and her boyfriend just got back from vacation tonight . I had been so looking forward to seeing her tomorrow but my son is sick and my little one woke up this morning with a fever so I better stay away a few days.
