ode' to a dandelion

I am finally home for spring break after spending several days at my grandparents. It feels good to be home. This week is unfortunately going by quickly. I am not ready to go back to Abilene, because I know I have a lot waiting for me there to complete. Ugh...

Today Lexie and I drove my Dad to lunch and then to a mechanic to get his car fixed. Then we came home and I have worked on cleaning my car all afternoon. The combination of rain, driving back, and then a weird mud rain last night my car was nasty! I also needed to clean it out in the inside which always takes forever.

I have some sad news...our kitty who is pregnant is slowly having the kitties, but they are all being born dead. She has had a really really long painful labor and we don't have too much hope left that any of them will be alive. I feel so bad for her because she has been so miserable for the last week or so. We were so excited about having kittens, but it seems like that is not going to happen. I just pray that the mama kitty makes it through this labor.

I don't want to end this post on such a sad note, but there's not much more to say. Hopefully, I will have better news to report next time.
