Natalie also had a check up today. She’s a healthy, healthy tyrant. She’s weighing in at 18lbs! Growing at a perfect rate for her size even though that’s tiny compaired to most kids her age. She’s also just shy of 30 inches tall. Go Natalie!

The vet called us on Tuesday and said he quickly looked over Chance’s test results and it looked like a thyroid problem. Not a big deal and we were thankful. Then he called today and said he looked the results over further and talked with his colleges and said it looked like something to do with the liver instead (the liver causing it to seem like a thyroid). He said Chance needed to come in today for an ultrasound to see what the real problem is. JR had to take him in since I had to stay home with Natalie since the appointment was later then she could stay awake.

JR just got back an hour ago. It’s cancer. I’m a sobbing mess. The tumor is attached to his spleen and liver so there is nothing that we can do but give him medicine to help him feel better and wait until it’s time to put him down. The one thing I was most afraid of was having to make that call. I can’t believe it. I always thought Chance would be here for a long, long time. I’ve had him since he was 11 weeks old. I love him so much how can I let him go…

I finally went dark…really dark! Check out my new hair below! Wish I would have put lip stuff on!

I think I do like my blonde hair better, but this is a fun change! I actually look like I could be Natalie’s mom! lol!

This weekend was tiring, but very productive. JR installed cabinets in our garage so we finally have some storage room. He also custom built and installed this weekend a desk for me in our office! It’s not the prettiest thing in terms of color because it’s made from the material that was left over from a dentist office job. I can’t complain though, it was free and I finally have the beginnings of a home office. It only took me months of nagging to get it! The only thing I have to buy is the laminate for the top so JR ordered that this morning and hopefully it can be installed by mid week. I say 95% productivity because I need to wait for the laminate to get the room totally put together and I still have piles of paper work to go through. So I should have pictures of it after this next weekend. So excited to be able to use it…we even measured to make sure a new iMac would fit under the upper cabinets *rubs hands together*.

I also cleaned the house from top to bottom, organized some things, put more stuff to be organized on a list. I love being organized…I just can’t seem to stay that way. Sunday night after all the laundry and cleaning were done and Natalie was in bed, I couldn’t believe how bored I was.

We should get a call from the vet today with some test results and tomorrow with more test results on Chance. The vet said he does look sick so they gave him some stuff to take care of any worms that he might have gotten infected with and took blood/stool samples to test his insides for anything wrong. I wish they’d call, I hate waiting.

I’m getting rid of my blonde hair today. I’m scared, but I’m so ready for a change. If I don’t like it, I’ll just go back to blonde. Look for some before and afters tomorrow! I hope I look good as a brunette! I don’t know why hair is such a safety blanket for some women (including me). It probably comes from JR. He has always said, “You can have an alright looking woman, with blonde hair she can be hot. However, an alright looking woman with brown hair is still just alright looking.” Yes, he likes blondes…wish me luck!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m already looking forward to this next weekend (3 days!!).
