Snow and Icy

My goodness- We have had so much icy weather, cold rain and then the dreaded black ice. Schools have been canceled and they are canceled tomorrow. The weather forecast is actually calling for 2-4 inches of snow and it's  been coming down pretty good, since about 6:00pm.

Yesterday was a very sad day. Mama's dog, Angel, that went to live with Cookie when Mama moved in here, crossed over The Rainbow Bridge. Bless her heart, she has been sick for awhile and since Sunday, she went down really quickly. Cookie came to church Sunday and when she got home, Angel was paralysed. She took her to an emergency vet that afternoon and then a specialist on Monday. They discovered that she had Cushings disease, an overproduction of the hormone cortisol, paralysis, a brain tumor and an enlarged liver. After much prayer, Cookie made the decision to help her cross over. Cookie came here for a little while and I told her that she had made the right decision. When we helped Callie and Odie cross over, I had a really hard time and I told Cookie that this was all normal emotions.

We have a busy weekend coming up. Tomorrow (26th) is Kane and Sophia's birthdays. Friday (27th) is Phoenix's 2nd birthday and Saturday is her party, weather permitting. Bless her little heart, she has had a stomach virus and today, Jordan had it. I talked to both of them earlier and asked Phoenix if she felt better. She said "Uh huh.... Mia." I can't believe that my sweet baby girl is 2 years old. Of course, she is beautiful, intelligent, sweet and loving. Perfect in anyway.

Saturday evening, the LBJ were suppose to have dinner at Wade's. I canceled it, first of all, because Kathy is sick and secondly, nobody was coming except Kathy, possibly Cookie and me. You can't depend on these women to even give me a response to an accurate head count for our meetings. How hard is it to check your calendar, and then say yes or no?
