It's 6:30am and I thought I was up early...WOW to early birds Jay and Cheryl! No grand baby today, it's his daddy's birthday today and they are celebrating with a family outing. Speaking of birthdays tomorrow is/was my Mom's birthday and lots of new things are happening tomorrow for family members that should be positive and I like to think the connection means something good is happening. OK maybe I need to believe that a little. Mom would have been 85 years old tomorrow, I have to remember to call my aunts (her sisters) and tell them I love them. My sisters are already having a hard time with it and I have to be there for them, they have no idea what's going on in my life right now. They have so much they're dealing with and I don't want to add to it plus it's one less person I have update, it's bad enough two people outside my immediate family found out accidentally.

I think the Grandpuppies and the cats are starting to adjust to each other, I don't have to carry my cats to the litter box anymore, they are going in their own and the dogs aren't as curious as to why the cats are in there. I didn't gate the dogs in the kitchen last night and all was quiet...I know because I fell asleep on the couch and spent the night downstairs with them, no ruckus, no chasing cats (the cats make a horrible sound when being chased). The dogs are also getting better at peeing outside and only using the potty patch when necessary. I don't know if they were afraid but for the first 4 days they wouldn't go outside at all. They are starting to calm down, we can actually walk in and out of house now with out crazy barking (if the inside door is open) they went nuts yesterday when my husband came home and woke up the baby. Seriously I was in the house with them and I opened the door, maybe they were protecting me.

So I guess that's it, feeling tired, I'm going to try and sleep another hour; all my animals are on the move by 7:30 daily, then there will be no rest.
