Had a rough week, and there is still 2 more days left...

So, where to begin...
Monday afternoon Reggie (my Yorkie) went outside to potty while the kids were out playing. He didn't come back within his normal time frame, so I kept calling him and went driving to his normal hangouts. I had no luck, and went to bed with a heavy mind. The next morning I woke and went to let the other doggies out to go potty, when low and behold there is Reggie shaking at the door. I let him go warm himself under the bed for awhile, and when I went to check on him he was ill and in pain. At closer inspection I could feel his lung was between his skin and ribs. You could feel every breath in great detail and hear the gurgling from all the blood inside. I called the Vet and rushed him in right away. The Vet confirmed my thoughts, and said the outcome was dreary but there is always a chance. So I had to leave him there for the next few days to let him stable out and determine what, if anything, could be done.

So I left in a tizzy, drove to the Post Office and home. I walk in the house and go to the sink to wash my hands. I am in the middle of washing my hands when I notice, "HOLY FRICKEN' CRAP MY WEDDING RING IS GONE!!" I ask outloud in a sarcastic voice, "are you fricken' kidding me?" Nope. I call and leave my number at the Post Office, the Vet office, and everywhere else in the world. For the next 2 days I tear my house apart from bottom to top, look in every knook and cranny, and through everything I possibly can. Nope, no ring. I am sick to my stomach and my blood pressure is sky high. Today, Wednesday, I get a phone call at 4:45pm from the Post Office, she explains that someone has found a ring in the shrubs by the walkway and the people want me to call with a description. Could it be? I sure hope so! What are the odds? So I call this number and describe to the lady what my ring looks like, and she says "sounds perfect, looks like it's your's". I say can I come and get it? Where do you live? She starts to tell me and I say, "I think you live across the street from me". Yep, it was my nieghbor. Oh, thank the Lord!!

Reggie still has a few more days of observation and diagnosis though, so I hope it is good news for him too.

I will keep you updated...

Busy weekend...

Well, it is the weekend already. I had a pretty great week leading up to it; I officially passed my mid term (yet still have my doubts for the State Final), Natalie's Birthday is today but we celebrated her on Wednesday at Abby's pizza. She had fun and was adorable the whole time. Thank you everybody for the gifts and coming to help us celebrate her.

This weekend should be event filled and productive for me. I am ripping my Master Bathroom floor out tonight and getting it ready for laying the new floor. I hope to get to Home Depot tomorrow and get the floor and any other preparation tools needed. Yay!

Jeff and I are going to our 2nd Poker Run, hopefully, it starts at 11:00am and goes for a few hours/stops ending up at live music and food. I am so excited to ride again, it has been atleast a month since I have been able to. I hope the weather stays constant for the next few days, the weather stations say it should but you never know in Klamath.

Sunday is usually our day of leisure, but Jeff is going wood cutting again. I will be waiting at home for him so we can do some tractor work and winterizing.

I know what your thinking...ahh I wish I had such a cool life. But you'll just have to comes to terms with the fact that it is not, sorry. ;o}

Fun weekend...

This weekend was rather fun and event filled. On Friday evening I had Jeffrey's 8th, that's right, 8th Birthday Party. He wanted a "spooky" themed party, so I draped spider webs all around our house and placed giant spiders all over them, made icky things like spaghetti noodles, boiled grapes, and slime for them to search through for prizes, blew up 30 balloons by mouth myself(wow), and other spooky fun games. The kids' all had a blast!

Saturday morning I had to be in a 4 hour elective class for review of chapter 1- 5 that lasted from 8 until noon. As soon as I left the class I had to go straight to my In-laws so we could go to the Fall Festival hosted by the Running Y. They had a lot of fun things for us to do; pumpkin painting, petting zoo, face painting, hay maze, horse back riding, and a hay ride. All of my kids' loved riding the horses the most. I thought about getting one for my 10 acres for about a half of second and quickly changed my mind(I have enough poop to clean as it is). Thank you Grandma!!

Sunday Jeff, I, and the kids went to the Home Depot for more project ideas(a couple of which I am so excited to start), lunch at Wendy's, and on the way home bought a Backhoe. I am so happy to finally have a tractor because it is the first phase to our addition on the house.

This coming weekend I should be tearing out the bathroom floor getting it ready for a face lift. I will keep you posted on that subject and many other exciting ones to follow. :o}
