i think punkin may be dropping the purring from his morning cheer routine. this morning i was asleep on the sofa (moved there mid-night when i couldn't fall asleep) and DH was getting his shot/breakfast ready. in my subconscious i think i only heard a non-stop meow. we've increased his pm +3 food from 1/2 can to a whole can hoping he would be less starving in the mornings. he acts so hungry - it's likely the increased growth hormone from the acro - that we're giving him quite a bit more. we don't want our little guy starving. gotta find the happy medium here.

when i really woke up anya was curled up next to me. she's such a light little thing that i don't even feel her. it was a sweet.

moving our foster daughter today about an hour away. i hope this is what she needs. there's a long story there, but the bottom line is she asked to move back in and we said no, hoping it would force her to actually put some effort forth and get a job. she has been a bum on other people's money for an entire year now. instead she's spent the past 2 weeks in her adoptive parents home and today is moving to her biological dad/grandma's home. so we're moving her. i will have to bite my fist to not rag on her for not paying her bills. wish me luck on that one.

Hi Julie, I hope you find the right amount of fuds to satiate Punkin's crazy appetite!
Good luck with the foster daughter. She may find that living with Gpa/Dad is NOT as much fun or rewarding as working hard to live on your own. Sometimes they just gotta learn the hard way. I have a foster sister, so I can understand the dramas and concerns when their biological family steps back into the picture... :?

Hi Julie
Just checking in on you and Punkin. But it sounds like you have your hands filled big time with other things too. I'm in awe of you! It has to be difficult dealing with things like that. I'll be thinking of you and hoping it will all work out for you. It has to be awefully difficult!!!

i have to be convinced of two things. 1) if she kills herself it won't be my fault and 2) us being tough on her is truly for her benefit, even if she is convinced otherwise.

yes it's hard. other people bringing you their drama . . . it's tedious. but we chose it, always something for me to remember. we didn't know how ill she was when we started the journey.

on the other hand, taking care of punkin is a piece of cake in the big picture. he just was purring while i tested him. what a sweetie!

Great numbers for Punkin today and I'm glad you didn't have to wake up alone on the sofa ;-) ;-) ;-) chicks gotta stick together :-D

I think it is good you are using tough love. I see too many kids these days with a sense of entitlement and they never learn how to ride the roller coaster of life and deal with it. You are a very good parent.

Punkin is lookin' good today!

I'm sure, some day, your foster daughter will appreciate the tough love. I don't doubt, though, that it is very hard right now...we're thinking of you!

Kitties make much better children don't they? All they complain about is food. Tough love is needed sometimes i suppose, and hopefully it will all work out in the end.

Punkin is looking fabulous today, and very nice that the DH took care of the morning routine......i'm jealous of that!!

You and your family are to be admired for the chance you took on this young girl. Your intentions were sincere and sometimes that's the most a person is able to do. It's easy to understand why you were unable to sleep. I learned long ago to be thankful for my own set of problems. A hard lesson to learn. Hopefully the examples you all set for her will someday help her. Give Punkin a couple of extra hugs for me. As far as Gus' acro appetite goes, I just keep on shovelin' :lol:

Hi guys! Nice numbers for Punkin today. Wow on the fuds thing - I guess you keep on feeding. :lol:

Good luck with your foster. I think you've made the right choice in how you are handling things. Perhaps someday she will learn from the examples you have set.

Aww Julie, how tough! Moving stinks all by itself, not to mention the difficult circumstances on top of it. I'll be thinking about you and lil Punkin; hopefully tonight will bring some rest.
