Dull and Boring Days

When I walked into the door there he sat eating a pudding snack. "Sam you forgot about me!" He perked up and smiled " oh yea I forgot! And here I thought I was going to have just another dull and boring day."
On our way to the library I told him I was about to take a trip to Seattle for my friends 30 th birthday. I look over to him ," someday you'll be 30, crazy to think about huh." He smiles,  " I wonder when that will be...." I can hear him counting in his head," 2027! That's when I'll be 30"
"Holy Smokes! 2027!" I yell, " that sounds so weird.... I bet they'll have flying cars by then... Think that's what you'll be doing on your 30 th? "
He laughs, " I hope so!"
All that time from here until now to be young....wow. Almost makes you a little envious.

Friday I have to go with my mom who is putting her dog maxeen down. My moms co worker found Max in her yard and mom took her in. Immediately it was evident something was wrong with her legs. Max is not very old maybe 5 years but out of nowhere her legs just shut down. She doesn't walk anywhere just scoots herself around whimpering in pain. Apparently there is a surgery worth $10,000 that's experimental which could be done but there is no guarantee she would get better. " just take her home and give her lots of rest, see if she gets better" the vet said but max still is the same. I don't know how I feel about the whole putting her to sleep thing but max doesn't really have a great quality of life. Last night I prayed for Max although I'm not really sure if praying does anything, since it never worked for Steve. Still I hoped for a miracle. I feel like our family could really use one of those right now. Miracles... They are so frustrating as they come and go as they please. It's hard to get your hopes up. So I'm dreading Friday for the first time ever. I'm going to miss Max as she always seemed like the annoying baby sister I never had. I'm going to miss laying in the yard with her picking grass and throwing it on her head. Or picking tiny flowers and putting them behind her little black ears exclaiming " oh Maxeen is so pretty!" As she shakes the flower off her head and eats it. But I'm not giving up yet. There's still a few more days for the world to show its magical powers.

In a few months we will be in Seattle wishing one of my best friends since high school a happy birthday. I'm so excited even if I do have to sleep on her kitty hair covered floor. She was always my youngest friend from school so now that she is going to be 30 it seems like a whole new era is upon us. What will it bring?
