A Kitty Prozac Kinda Day

It's been one of those days. It all started on our drive home from Virginia yesterday. I decided the perfect end to a perfect weekend would be Dairy Queen's new Brownie Batter Blizzard. It was SO GOOD...but it didn't agree with me. I had a terrible stomach ache for several hours. When I felt better, I wrote on the blog and uploaded tons of pictures from the incredible weekend we had at Holly and Drew's wedding. Then...the website locked up and I lost it all. Thirty minutes worth of typing and storytelling...gone. So I promise to post pictures and details of our weekend this week, I was just too mad to do it last night. And once you read below, you'll see I'm in no mood to try again now.

Today was supposed to be relaxing after all that travel. Nope! Harley has been peeing in places other than her litterbox, which is of course unacceptable and very upsetting to Travis and I. Today I could tell something was wrong so I called the vet and made a 3:45 appointment. Then my eye, which had been bothering me all weekend, seemed to get worse. It was burning and watering like crazy, so I made an eye doctor appointment at 1:15.

Before the appointments rolled around, it was kind of chaotic around here. Campbell bonked her head on the little Fisher Price aquarium on her crib. While I was comforting her, she spit up green beans ALL OVER me. Not just a little either. Like, so much I had to take of my shirt and soak it in the sink. (Where later on today, Harley decided that would be a good place to pee. UGH!)

I called the pediatrician about something going on with Campbell. She's fine, just a minor, personal problem. Just one more ailment we have to fix today...and the nurse recommended we try to let her have some time without a diaper on to air out. Um, what??? As if we don't have enough pee around here already! I just started laughing at this point.

Off to the eye appointment. The eye doctor was about as friendly and personable as a rock. He then tells me it's allergies. I'm very relieved - a few years ago I had a really serious eye infection that was very scary. But still, allergies? In one eye? I asked if that was weird, to only have it in only one eye. His response? "Yes." Ummmm, OK. Whatever, he gave me some drops and told me to keep out my contacts for a few days. Great, now I'm sporting my 8-year old glasses that have doggie teeth marks on the lens from Lexi's early days.

I somehow then managed to get Harley into the vet in her crate while pushing the stroller. Of course that was after I picked Harley up to put her in the crate and got a huge gash on the palm of my hand from her claws. Harley went absolultely nuts when they took her back. It almost brought me to tears hearing her back there yelping and hissing. They were simply trimming her nails and trying to examine her! They did trim her nails which obviously needed it, so that is a positive thing. We now have steroid pills to give her...and the kicker...kitty prozac! Just in case she is stressed out and her problems are behavioral, we got something to give her to relax her a bit. I'm thinking of popping one myself here in a minute... ;)

It's been one of those days, but it's 5pm and hopefully it'll be bedtime before I know it. Then I can go to sleep, wake up tomorrow, and start over on the right foot I hope!
