Even Sami is affected by the recession

A few days ago, I had Sami in my lap and as I was petting him I noticed a big lump of hair right behind his ear. I took a closer look and realized it was his hair all matted, I felt so bad for the little guy! I used to take him to the groomers at least every other month and they would wash, brush, trim his hair, brush his teeth, clean his ears and clip his nails. I don't remember the last time he was there, but I'm guessing it's been more than five months. I try to give him baths every other week and try to brush him often, but with so much long white hair, it's not the same as when I take him to the groomers. Sorry boy!

If you could go back in time....

....would you still have this many kids?
-This is a question my daughter Sara ask me frequently, and my answer is always :"I don't know". I never consider three being a lot of kids, but it seems like for her it is an outrageous amount of kids. My parents had three kids and it was a number I was comfortable with. Now, three girls, that is a lot of girls. Living in a house with a Teen, soon to be Teen and a soon to be Tween, it can get very crazy at times. The fights, the crying, the whining...the drama!, it's all so familiar to me. It is crazy, but it's my life, and for now, I just treasure every little moment of it!.
