A little time to catch my breath

Living la vita loco! The past few weeks have been nothing short of a big blur for us. Matt started school, Mike's parents were here for a visit. I have a million orders. And on top of that Portis has been sick again. The vet has run some tests and we are waiting to see if it is Leukemia:-( He will only eat a few things...dog food of any kind not being one of them. He gets a lot sicker if I do not feed him every few hours because of the Predisone he is on. It has been exhausting. Thank God it is our dog and not our child. Mike's parents left this morning for Chicago. Bob is in a kayak race on lake Michigan on Saturday. Then they will come back through and stay a few more days. I am so glad because Matt was devastated this morning when he woke up and they were gone. It really made me stop and think about how nice it would be to live closer to them. They are so important to Matt. He will not leave Bob's side when he is here. It makes me think about Mike and how his grandpa was his hero too. He loves his grandma too, but there is something to be said about his relationship with grandpa Bob. Back to work....
