I love Love LOVE this weather! It feels so fall-ish. My work has a TON of Christmas stuff out and I am going BONKERS!!! I love it!

Haylee has an appointment with her orthopedic surgeon today. I will update this entry later about that.

*UPDATE* Haylee's last appointment with her orthopedic surgeon was today. He said that she still needs to wear a brace when she does any physical activity, and today he included camping and hiking. I am in awe of Haylee. She is such a trooper. :)
He also said that her left leg would always be her weak leg, but she needs to watch out for the right knee too. He said there is a lot of fluid under her kneecap still and that it will take time for it to absorb.

Hopefully she won't have anymore problems with it, but I am not counting on that.

HAYLEE IS DONE WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY!!!!!!! I am beyond excited! She is healing at a remarkable pace. Good job Haylee!

Work is definitely getting better, finally. I am relying on my knowledge of where things are instead of asking others where something is. :)

Shiloh is such a funny kitten. Still needy. The other day, he wanted to be held and I wasn't picking him up fast enough and he clawed his way up my leg and laid in my lap. LOL And NOW he is staring to cry at the door like Belle did when I shut him out of a room (*Bathroom*) when I am in there. What a high maintenance kitten!!

Shiloh is a very clingy kitten. If I leave the room to do anything, he cries and cries until I come back. Then he is mad at me for leaving. But he doesn't stay mad for long. Belle, my cat I had for 11 years, would be mad for days. LOL But that was only if I left for more than a few hours. Shiloh sleeps on my pillow next to my face. I just love him so much already! He is an awesome little kitten.

Everything else is going good. Work, well, work is hard for me. Since I had surgery on my back, it was babied for a long time. Working is really hard on it, it's just not as healthy as it used to be. I think I may find a work at home job.

I love this cooler weather. Fall is in the air! *SIGH*

I have been asking Brian a lot lately for a new kitten. I miss my Belle like CRAZY! I can't believe he has been gone for 2 years! So Brian told me that we would talk about it later. Well before we had a chance to talk, he brought home kitten food and litter and stuff to surprise me, SOOOO.....

Here is the new addition to our family. He is currently nameless as we can't think of any names yet. Isn't he just adorable???

***UPDATE*** We named him Shiloh.

Wednesday Haylee had physical therapy again and I found out some interesting information. Knee caps that move around a lot are suseptible to dislocation. I showed her therapist my knee caps and she freaked out. Mine move around a lot too. In fact when I showed her, her words were, "OMGosh!!!!!!WOW!! So I am at risk. :( I guess it's a good thing I don't run. :)
Haylee is now walking around without her crutches!! YAY!!! I am so happy! She still uses them when we go out, but at home she is crutch free!
Work is going better, but I still wish that I already knew where everything is. I am good on the craft side of the store but on the scrapbook side... forget it. And it doesn't help that when I finally learn where something is, they move it!! I tell you they make us EARN our money! HAHA!
I was sent home yesterday because i had such a bad headache, that I was throwing up. I went to 7-11 to get some caffeine and some HUGE man asked me for the cookies in the backseat of my car!!!! He waited for me to come out of the store to ask me!! OMGosh! The nerve! HAHAHA
I started mystery shopping again, to earn extra money. Christmas is coming up!! YAY!! What a glorious thought. My favorite time of year!!! Ahhh.
I am so behind in my housework. It's so not funny! I am going to spend all day tomorrow doing it. Hopefully my kids will help. Most of the time, they don't.

Oh I love this time of year! It's so crisp and perfect outside! I can't wait for the leaves to fall. I can't wait for Halloween, the smell of fall to come. *sigh* Love it love it love it!!! What it really means is that Christmas, my favorite time of year, is just around the corner!!!!

Haylee went to physical therapy this morning. She is doing really well. She has exercises to do to strengthen her inner quad muscles so the outter quad muscles aren't over doing it which will pull her knee cap out of place again. She has to keep her brace off for the most part and start using her injured leg when she walks now. Good thing she is not in pain anymore!! :) She is such a brave girl!
