The Rainstorm

A teacher of mine once said to me when it rains it pours!  I remember looking at her and asking what she meant, now I know!  
On Tuesday Korbins bunny died, I wanted it to disappear, but I didn't wish for its death!  We let it out that morning and he would not let us pick him up, he would thump his back feet and run, he bit Korbin and after that, I was done with him.  Later that afternoon I needed to let our dog in the back yard and so I had to get the bunny in the cage, and that is when I found poor Thumper dead in the grass, the oddest thing is I just don't know how he died. Korbin cried and I held him, but later all was fine . . . WHY????  The cat that I thought was a boy cat had it's kittens under our bed!  5 of them, or so we thought.  Now there are only 4, John swears he picked up 5 when he originally put them in the box.  Bailey (our dog) loves them, she picked one up and took it out to the living room in the middle of the night when they were about 5 hours old . . . I am still wondering if that was number 5?????  Then the rainstorm really hit; my mom went in for her chest pains that she has been having and found out that 2 of her valves to her heart were 90% clogged!  We are so lucky that she is still with us. I love her to death and I don' know what I would do without her.  She now has 2 metal shank things in her valves to keep them clear.
In the coming weeks Bailey (the dog) will have her first litter of Golden Retrievers, this I am very excited about. Kenzi will go back to pre-school, and Korbin will start first grade tomorrow.  I just hope that our rainstorm will soon pass, and things can go back to our semi normal ciaos.  Oh and I started a new job.  I no longer work in Logan, but I am back in Salt Lake City working for Rastar.  It is a fun and challenging job!

I have been thinking about you all alot and praying for your mom. We love her too and are so glad that she is ok. With an extra 4 kitty's and soon to be puppies, maybe the bunny won't be missed too much. One of our kitty's just died too. I hate having one of my kids so sad and not be able to do anything about it. Hang in there!! Love you all.
