A few different things

First...YAY!!! Adam is getting better! He took a turn for the worse yesterday, but then started improving. He had a blood transfusion last night, so hopefully that will help things improve even more.

Not sure what else to write about....Yesterday Wyatt asked me why he didn't have school today. I explained to him who Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was and what he did for this country. Well, as best I can explain it to a 5 year old. It makes me wonder...I remember learning about Dr King when I was in Kindergarten. Is Wyatt not learning because of the demographics of our area? Or is it because it's been another 25 years? (Well, not really. I'm young. I had him when I was 15. Honest) But, really...Why? Has time dulled so much that it's not important anymore? Or is it just that teachers now have no connection to the events? I really have to believe that, with time and social media, our reactions dull. It really REALLY hurts to see so few people caring about 9-11 anymore. I make it a point to dress Wyatt in patriotic colors that day, and I'm always the only one who does. What happened to us? We were so cohesive after 9-11. Where has it gone? When you drive through your neighborhood, how often do you see an American flag? (And, yes, I do have one displayed)

Hmmm...apparently there was somethign in there for me to write about. Ah well, lots to do today. Our newest cat was caught peeing in the house last night, so she's outside today. I feel awful, but I've worked with her a lot, and I just can't have an animal distroying my home. That's where I draw the line. She's still ours if she wants to be, we will set up a cat house and food for her, but that's it. She HATES dogs, which I can understand as she was an outside cat for 4 months before she was given to us. But she's already hurt me and Wyatt several times because of her fear. So, outside she goes. At least I had her long enough to get her shots, fix her tail, and put some weight on her. I hope she still comes around, I want to take care of her still, just not inside.

Y'all have a good day
