Did Anyone Else experience a "WEIRD" week








I have so much blogging to do with so little time. What is striking me this week though is how weird it was last week. Just weird things happened. Weird one, my hubby's work was odd. Things fell out of place with how things really happened. I am not going to get into it but it caused alot of stress here. The other 2 things that happened were the death of my son's dwarf hamster and my daughter's black russian hamster. I can only imagine that it was something on some of the greens they had eaten. Although my youngest hamster seems spared of whatever killed the other two. How heartbreaking it was on Friday to have my son say that his hamster died, and that he was fine early. Holding him while he cried. Saturday we went to Mt. Lemmon to escape and enjoy the scenery. Check out the website I attached and experience the drive we enjoyed. When we got to the picnic area we relaxed and played games. I even read a magazine. We drank hot chocolate from our thermoses and it was great. We go back home and Luigi, our black russian is very sick. My daughter and I stay up to midnight with the little guy. When he finally was no longer awake. We had put him on a hot water bottle and blankets to keep him comfortable. It broke my heart. Two hamsters in two days. Thank goodness, my youngest hamster is still alive and well in her room. I am not sure if I could have handled another death or another tear. I am glad we are starting a new week. I am hoping it is not as weird and sad as this last week. Did anyone else have some strange occurances happen? I am really curious. Everyone I talked to around here said they had some of the most trying weeks in a long time.
Hope everyone has a beautiful week this week. Tomorrow is the first day of autumn in the northern hemisphere. I hope that it is a better, non-weird week. I know it is my favorite season. My youngest and I decorated her window for the first day of fall the first day of a new transition.

My horoscope last week held true :)

Spend some time in that special nook of your community that you love to visit to restore your sanity. Maybe the weather is still summery in your area, and a picnic would work for you. A teacher appears when the student is ready; you may have two different teachers with different advice for you, but try to find the nugget of wisdom from both.

Not a weird week here, thank goodness. Just very, very busy and productive.

Sorry to hear about the grief you and your kids went through. Hope all of you have a much better week!

Have a lovely autumn/fall! We are in the midst of spring and I love it. So much to plant, sow, prepare, enjoy in the garden.

I am so sorry to hear about the hamsters. I love all animals and it saddens me to hear this. I hope you will feel better soon.
