Uppydate on Me

[NoahsMommy]

I even thought of you as I sat in church yesterday and the pastor talked about how people go thru such struggles and we often ask God, why? And the hardest part of being a Christian is knowing that in His perfect time and in His perfect way, our prayers will be answered, and that it is something out of our control, and we just have to wait on Him...it can be a long hard road, but He will never leave us...I know it is easier said than done.

Robyn, I'm FINALLY in a place where I can say with my whole heart (and tears instantly come to my eyes) that you can't look for what YOU want to happen....what we not is usually not in God's plan. Its been a truly hard time with my faith, but because of everyone's prayers and my encouragement from friends, I've come to see that CiCi and my job...even this new doctor...ARE THE ANSWER to my prayers.

That, and the well being of my furkids, is my number one priority.

There's no way I'd ever be without them. I'd rather live in my car.

Unfortunatly, mom and I are going through some stuff, and I think this is from God as well. While its not pleasant, its a LONG time coming.

Anyway, I had my first day actually registering patients for tests and surgery today and I really enjoyed it! My superviser even told me that she enjoys having me around and is happy I'm working there. Yay!!

OK, off to play with my furballs! LOVE those critters!

Thanks again for the support guys...there's no way I'd be were I am without you all.

Love ya,
Kelly

I'm sorry you have to leave your apartment Kelly. Thank goodness your good friend is willing to let you stay and keep your babies! I wish you good luck with your new job and I'm sure things will work out with your mom.

[prechrswife]

I'm so glad things are moving in the right direction.

[PJ's Mom]

I'm not sure whether to say I'm sorry or congratulations. You have the beaufiul ability to turn something dark into something bright and positive. I envy you for that and wish you nothing but the best.

Sorry you can't stay in your apartment Kelly, but it sure does sound like things are going to be okay.

*hugs*

Kelly, I'm a little late but I'm so sorry to hear that you're going to be loosing your apartment but so glad that you have such a wonderful friend that is willing to take you in until you can get back on your feet. I'm also very glad to hear that you finally know what's causing your pain and hopefully the medicine will help this too. I wish you nothing but good luck and happiness in your future. Please take care.(((HUGS)))

Kelly,

It amazes me how people can be so ignorant when it comes to people's pets. My brother was the was the same way. I told him (this was before Mark offered his apartment) Sue would only let me bring MooShoo (cuz he doesn't shed) and he got furious saying I need to worry about myself and not the "damn" cats. I love my brother dearly, but THAT really pissed me off.
My kits are my babies and have been there for me no matter what.

Like I said in my cellphone message, I'm so glad you've got a good friend in Cici. As far as your mother is concerned, the whole thing with the cats is HER issue, not yours. You've found alternative housing that includes your cats and that is all that matters. Please try not to let your Mom's negative attitude towards your furbabies upset you (I know, so easy to say but difficult to do). The last thing you need to do is get any sicker because of her issue. You need to take care of yourself.

Hang in there honey!! We're both in the same boat and have been through much. But somehow things seem to turn around when you least expect it.

Love you!!

Kelly, I' m sorry I missed the post and saw it only today!

The only thing I can say is that I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FURBABIES!!!!!!

I feel sad for what happens to you and your mother . But I know things will get better and better! Keep on being positive, your job will help for sure!

Hugs,
Sonia

Onwards and upwards eh Kelly? you sure have had your challenges of late, and I am very happy to hear about the new job, but in the same breath so sorry about the apartment, just see it as a stepping stone, in time you will have your independence back, thank goodness for your kind friend, I am sad your mother does not understand the love you have for your pets, but at the same time I guess five kitties is a big ask,especially in her new expensive home.

You will be much happier at your friends, because she has welcomed you and your kitties with open arms, so for now that is the best place on offer and I am sure you will do much better there than if your mother gave in and reluctantly said yes, that would probably cause you untold stress, which you my dear do not need right now.

Good luck with everything sweetie and know we are always here to lend and ear and a shoulder to cry on okey Dokey.

[NoahsMommy]

Awww, thanks guys!

Yes, CiCi is wonderful for having me....she is indeed an angel to me.

My mom and I are having more issues at the moment. Should be interesting to see if she ever comes around. But, like you all said, these are her issues not mine.

Work is going well so far. I really like what I do and the patients I'm meeting. Yay!

sometimes life sucks for about 5 minutes.

remember the other 23 hours and 55 minutes-THAT'S where you five minutes don't mean squat.

[Felicia's Mom]

I wish you the best of luck. My brother-in-law is like your mother.

[just me]

So glad to hear all is working out for you.
I just want to send Best wishes to you.
And CICI you are indeed an ANGEL.

[CalliesMom]

I am so sorry you are having problems with your mother. It is always hard for non-pet lovers to understand where we are coming from but like you, I would rather live in my car than give them up. She may never accept your decision, but she will always love you. That's what family is for--being pain in the butts but loving us/them regardless.

[finn's mom]

Wow, Kelly, it really sounds like things are going in the right direction for you. You sound so level-headed, and, ready. I'm sorry that your mom is having such a rough time, but, I think you are handling it the best possible way. I'm so glad for you that you have someone like CiCi in your life to help you through this. And, thrilled to my fingertips that you get to keep your cats! That's awesome, too, that you are enjoying your job!
