Being a Mom<br />

my daughter casually mentions that<br />

she and her husband are thinking of Sudoku<br />

<strong>The</strong> rules of Sudoku are simple.<br />

<br />

Place a digit from 1 to 9 in each empty cell so<br />

I say, carefully keeping my tone neu- every row, every column, and every 3 x 3 box<br />

contains the digits 1 to 9. Have <strong>Fun</strong>!!!<br />

sleeping in on weekends, no more<br />

<br />

not what I meant at all. I look at my<br />

daughter, trying to decide what to tell<br />

her. I want her to know what she will<br />

never learn in childbirth classes. I want<br />

to tell her that the physical wounds of<br />

child bearing will heal, but becoming a<br />

mother will leave her with an emotional<br />

wound so raw that she will forever be<br />

vulnerable. I consider warning her that<br />

she will never again read a newspaper<br />

<br />

<br />

every house fire will haunt her. That<br />

when she sees pictures of starving<br />

children, she will wonder if anything<br />

could be worse than watching your<br />

child die.<br />

I look at her carefully manicured nails<br />

We had so many cucumbers we were<br />

having trouble finding different ways to<br />

use them up. Neither my mother nor I<br />

wanted to make one huge batch of<br />

<br />

<br />

books for new and interesting ideas.<br />

After hours of work, we had whittled the<br />

piles down to a manageable level. Finally<br />

I found yet another relatively simple<br />

recipe and showed it to Mom. She<br />

started laughing. She had contributed it<br />

to a community book published for fund<br />

-raising and had later bought a copy to<br />

help out. She had forgotten the recipe<br />

We have a new employee at the local<br />

Home Depot. He just moved here from<br />

Mexico and has proven to be very<br />

knowledgeable and helpful to the sawdust<br />

challenged like myself. Yesterday I<br />

needed his guidance after ruining several<br />

pieces of wood with my newly purchased<br />

belt sander. A fast trip to the<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

office for my routine checkup, and from<br />

there we decided to go out to eat.<br />

Since we had driven in separate cars, I<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

forgotten about my appearance. Anybody<br />

could see that I was at least 8 1/2<br />

months pregnant.<br />

Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids<br />

Did you know : Feline Leukemia and Aids are two of the most common infectious diseases<br />

associated with illness and death among cats? Both these diseases impair the immune sys-<br />

<br />

Both diseases are prevalent in Creston.<br />

Did you know : Feline leukemia is transmitted through sneezing, licking, biting, and even<br />

from shared food and water dishes or litter boxes? If your cat goes outside, they are at risk.<br />

Did you know : Feline Aids is carried in the blood and transmitted through bite wounds<br />

inflicted during fights especially for male cats? Even neutered or spayed cats that venture<br />

outside could be bitten by an aggressive, roaming feline.<br />

Cats that contract feline leukemia or feline Aids may show symptoms such as unexplained<br />

weight loss, recurring infections, skin disorders, swollen glands, anemia, respiratory and<br />

<br />

immune system may allow a variety of secondary diseases to take hold.<br />

Many cats may be symptom free for many years, but still pose a threat to other cats,<br />

as they are carriers of the infection.<br />

Have your cat tested for both these diseases for the discounted price of only $64.04<br />

in the month of May. (a Savings of $20.00) Includes Blood collection, Feline Leukemia<br />

(Felv), and Feline Aids (FIV) test.<br />
