I thought today would be a good day. I was feeling a bit better over the weekend. Then when I went to bed last night. Even though I drugged myself up. I couldn't stop coughing long enough to sleep. I think I got an hour and a half of sleep total.
A few years ago, I got my son a couple parakeets. He begged for them after our parrot died. He has a blue one named Sassy, she is older. And a green and yellow one named Flutter. He's always been a bonehead, but adorable.
I came in after dropping kiddo off at school. I say hi to all the animals, and I don't see Flutter. Then I see him standing in the bottom of the cage in a corner. Upon inspection, I find him dead. DEAD???!!!!
My son just admitted to me that he's been having a really tough week, thinking about my mom and Buck (dog we put down a few months back) He admitted he even went to the school counselor to talk about it. And now I have to tell him another one of his beloved pets is dead!!! I'm so... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr right now.
Well on that upbeat note. I'm gonna leave and wish you all a much better Monday than mine is turning out to be. And it's not even 9 in the morning yet. sheeeshhh

Sorry to hear that Buffica. I hope you feel better soon, and I'm sorry that your son is having it so rough lately.
It's heartbreaking when our kids are dealing with something like a pet dying or worse. I used to tell my boy that every time he has to handle something difficult or painful he is one step closer to becoming a strong man.
I wish I could be there to help today when he gets home.
Tell him I love him bunches and bunches and bunches
corky--Thank you hun. I hate when the kids hurt
babzy--but we just want to protect them forever.
alekx--I wish you could be too, we will get through it I'm sure.
That sucks honey. Sorry to hear you're not yet feeling yourself yet. Good luck with telling kiddo the news, death is never an easy subject. I think you could both do with plenty of hugs today xx
sugar---yeah and for the past two years, there has been way to much death in this family.
I hate losing any pet. It always breaks my heart, whether it's a bird, or a baby bunny, or my dog. It's never easy.
Big hugs to your and your son.
I hope that tomorrow is a better day. :)
biddie--thank you. It better be or I'm going back to bed for the entire week. lol
Goodness, when it rains it pours huh? Very sorry to hear about all of this. :(
dan--thanks, I figure if god is picking on us, he's leaving some other poor fool alone.
crap. that's the problem with animals...they go and you are left to explain the situation to the kids...
I wish you luck.
I feel for your little man.
Oh my...how horrible. That so sucks. I hope it all goes ok for you.
jj--yeah well the animals aren't half as bad as when I had to tell him about my mom
Miranda--yeah sucks to be me today. lol
Sending good vibes your way, my friend! It looks like you really need all you can get!
Beware the school counselors... I've heard reports of late that they've been doing more harm than good in dealing with kid's problems. It's better to deal with things like this within the family unit. Just my two cents worth.
Oh NO!! That totally sucks ass! I'm soo sorry to hear about the bird...and the sleepless night. That coughing phase only lasts for what, like, a week? But at least you were feeling well enough to take your babe to school yourself! (((HUGS)))
Phoenix--I had a bad experience as a kid with a counselor, so I'm very leary.
Jules--yeah last time I had a cough it lasted 3 months. Lets hope a week is it. lmao
awwwwww so sorry your day got off to such a bad start...hope it has improved some and that you are feeling better. No worries kiddo will see better days...and so will you.
ahhh honey I am so sorry!! Poor KIDDO...Im glad he has been talking about it. It would be worse if he was NOT talking. I hope you get feeling better!!
Mom
Flake-- ty ty I'm looking forward to a better week
Mom--Yeah I try to encourage him to talk, and show his emotions.
damn! im sorry to hear that about the pet, and im also sorry to hear kiddo is feeling low
but as others have said its good he can talk to you bout it and its good he has such brilliant parents that can help him too
aw, burfica, this whole week sounds like it really sucks, not just for you, but the kiddo too! i'm so sorry!
cookie--ty, that's one thing I always want him to be able to do is talk to us.
Libby--thanks, yeah this week is as good as last. hehehehe
