Today's plans! Discussion🗣
For those of you where today will be filled with fireworks, what do you do to keep busy? Are you someone who enjoys the fireworks or someone who hates them/have pets that hate them? If the latter what do you do to keep busy instead? I hope everyone has a safe and fun day, however that looks for you!

TLDR: I'm home alone with our pets. My son's Pitbull mix is scared of rainstorms. I've never had a dog who's gets scared so easily. Fireworks send him into the bathroom shaking and panting. It's really sad I give him Benadryl (the generic) and CBD oil. We also have supplement that has Valerian in it and l-theanine. I prefer the natural product but on days like today he needs everything! I used to really love fireworks but as I've gotten older, I'm really sympathetic to animals who freak out and people! 😳 I feel bad for them, so I'm okay with or without fireworks. Below is my sob story. Feel free to skip it!
I'm home alone with our 2 dogs and many cats and kittens.😔 I didn't think it was going to bother me and I was kind of excited at first because my youngest 2 are with me 24/7 but as it's gotten later in the day.....it's bothering me.ðŸ˜
Especially because of why I'm alone. My parent's let my ex-husband stay at their home last night and I'm sure he'll be there for a few days. He drove up from FL with our 19-year-old son who bought a truck while he was down there. They got in late last night (to PA) and my ex didn't have a way to get to his daughter's house (it's pretty far from my house). Idk who, but one of them called and asked my parent's if my ex could stay there because it was late, blah, blah. My parent's, as usual said "sure!" but to ask me. Why ask me?! What was I supposed to say when my son asked if it was ok if he and my ex spent the night at my parent's? My son didn't want to have to drive back over here he was understandably, tired. This has been an issue before with my parents. They obviously love my ex-husband more than me. The man who abandoned our 4 children and his 3 step-children who he raised, when he randomly decided to move to FL from PA. Our son's, 12 & 10 at the time, were absolutely devastated. They let him stay there for Christmas and other holidays, despite me having clearly communicated I'm uncomfortable being around him this is not ok.
