We were like super-family this morning. No one had to rush around to get ready, things were calm and steady. We made it to school earlier than usual and just as I was telling the boys how proud of us I was, I lifted Judah’s back pack and felt it strangely light. I had one of those Oprah “Ah-Ha!” moments only in the opposite sense.

No. Snack. In. Bag.

I recounted our morning: I had coffee, I mastered liquid eye liner (mark that down for the books), Little Gingers were fed and diapered…I really have no idea how snack got left out. Especially after mastering the liquid eyeliner…like really? That should prove the morning was on track.

You roll with the punches, go with the flow or whatever and little man got his snack in time for his morning break.

 

Maybe I forgot because my brain was chocked full of these:

Doily Lamp

Pipe Cleaner DIY 

Chalkboard Book 

BLT-Fried Egg and Cheese Sandwich

This article by Lisa Bloom: How to Talk to Little Girls 

This might be an actual “Ah-Ha” moment for me: Salad In a Jar 

This excerpt from this post: “I will not be judgmental. Again, this is a daily decision. Knowing Jesus, doesn’t make me holy, it just reminds me of the fact that I am as bad a sinner as any and that grace is actually amazing like the hymn says.”

Veterinary medicine

Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in non-human animals. The scope of veterinary medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species.

Veterinary medicine is widely practiced, both with and without professional supervision. Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also known as a vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian), but also by paraveterinary workers such as veterinary nurses or technicians. This can be augmented by other paraprofessionals with specific specialisms such as animal physiotherapy or dentistry, and species relevant roles such as farriers.

Veterinary science

Veterinary science helps human health through the monitoring and control of zoonotic disease (infectious disease transmitted from non-human animals to humans), food safety, and indirectly through human applications from basic medical research. They also help to maintain food supply through livestock health monitoring and treatment, and mental health by keeping pets healthy and long living. Veterinary scientists often collaborate with epidemiologists, and other health or natural scientists depending on type of work. Ethically, veterinarians are usually obliged to look after animal welfare.
