It's been a long time since I've posted, but I'll only update the most recent things going on:

My mom and boyfriend came to visit. Maria was gracious enough to allow them to use her apartment which isn't too far from here. It was nice having Maria back home for about a month...and it was sure nice that I didn't have to have my mom's boyfriend in my face the whole time they were here. I didn't see much of my mom because she spent most of her time here with HIM. I wasn't impressed with him at all. I don't know what she sees in him. I'm just glad they didn't move here.

Foster care is on hold...I won't get into it. It's exhausting and I'm so tired of repeating myself. I'll just be sure to get back here when we've reached a decision.

I'm really worried about my baby boy. Sully is hurt in his hind-quarters. We had ex-rays and lab work done today. The ex-ray showed something but the vet wasn't sure what it was so he sent it out. I don't know where to. (Tina picked Sully up. She didn't ask where they were sending it, or if the vet HAD to guess-what would he say it is? Should we keep him calm or let him play if he wants to? Sheesh. Why is it the butchies don't think of this stuff?) I'm so sad for him because today he seemed so helpless and I didn't know what to do for him. All I could do was pet him and cry. He's the most loveable sweetest doggie you could ever meet and I just hate that he's going through this. I hate that we don't have a name for what is wrong with him, and I hate that I can't take his place. My poor baby boy.

We've been working on our house in Conrad. We were there all week last week. On account of Sully's condition, we're back in Great Falls until tomorrow night. We have so much work to do in the house, we really don't have much time to dilly dally. We got our knotty pine (tongue and groove), our primer and paint. But we're no where ready for that yet. I guess we both know that when we're ready to paint, etc. we'll almost be done with the livingroom and can finally move on to the second bedroom. I don't think we'll ever get done, but here's hoping.

Maria is going to need surgery. She tore her ACL playing softball. Her surgery is scheduled for the 30th. I guess she wants to stay with us. That makes me happy. I don't really like her girlfriend, but hopefully I won't have to see too much of her. I was surprised she wanted to stay here on account of her girlfriend staying at her place these days. I wonder how long the two of them can stand to be away from eachother? Not long, I'm sure.
