Lady Girl

Lady is not doing well and my worst fear I think has come true I think Lady has hurt her back. We at first thought maybe she hurt her foot or something but then tonight while my husband was petting her she yelped in pain when he touched her back. She has not been able to go down the stairs to go outside we have been picking her up to take her out and in. I guess I will be taking her to to vet Tuesday when they open. She has been acting funny for about the past week, just not being herself. No running, no playing, no jumping in my kitchen chairs, and not eating as much. Friday she seemed to be getting better but then she tried to jump on my bed and we heard her yelp in pain. Oh I hope that my sweet Lady hasn't done something to her back that we can't fix easily. This house would not be the same without my Lady girl. I just want to cry typing this because she is such a sweet heart.

Cactus

Last Friday in the store Ian seen some cactus and really wanted one. I don't understand why but for some reason and for some time Ian has been on a cactus kick. I asked him why would he want one? He can't touch it or play with it. He just simply told me that he just really wanted one. Well so I got that dumb cactus and now it sits in the kitchen. I don't like have a plant that I am afraid of. With my luck we will have the cactus for many years.

I Heart Faces Week 2

One Unhappy Girl

Today was a very cold day I don't think it got out of the low 30's so I decided to put Lady's sweater on her when she went outside. I got it for her because every time she goes outside she is acting like she is going to freeze to death. Well after I put it on her she just gave me a look like "oh great not the sweater I hate this thing!" She didn't want to walk down the stairs and then when I went to let her back in she acted like she couldn't walk up them. She came into the house and got in her bed and she layed their all day just giving me dirty looks.



So tonight when my hubby came home he asked what was wrong with Lady? I told him she is all mad about wearing her sweater and then I told him to go ahead and take it off her. Well once the sweater came off she turned into a different dog. She was all happy jumping around and back to her old self.

She is a odd little dog but we love her :)

2010

Somethings I am going to do more of this year.

1. Blog more.
2. Drink more water. Well I am going to start drinking water I just don't like it so I never drink it.
3. Start my yoga again. This time I am not going to stop.
4. Keep my house cleaner. My house is clean but their is alot of stuff I could do more of.
5. Teach Ian to tie his shoes. The boy acts like his fingers are made out of butter and he doesn't know how to use them.
6. Try to save money.
7. Pay off some bills.
8. Take more pictures. Ofcourse by some standers I take to many.

I am sure their are more things I could do this year but for right now that is all I can think of. I hope I can at least do some of those things.

Oh and I wouldn't of believed it if I wouldn't have seen if for myself but it was snowing today! Not alot and not enough to make any difference but I seen flakes falling from the sky. Here in South East Arkansas we hardly never see snow. We get cold in the winter but we never seem to get cold enough to get snow just rain. The temps this week will be very cold and they are calling for snow showers on Thursday and then the high on Friday is only going to be in the 20's. Oh I hope it snows I don't like the cold but I do love a little snow :)

Christmas

Well this Christmas was a good one :) Thursday night we went to my grandfathers house and the kids got to open 1 gift and we ate and just had a good time. Then after that we ran over to my moms house and let the kids open gifts. We usually do this Christmas Day but with other kids their we have to wait until everyone leaves and everything seems so rushed so we just decided to let them open the gifts that night.

Ian was very excited to open this gift he wanted it so badly.


Then the next day was Christmas day and Santa still decided to come even if the kids were not so good this year. I know the kids thought when they first seen all the gifts that morning that Santa had been extra kind. Santa only got them a few things and the rest was from hubby's extended family. They always have a thing Christmas Eve but because of some family issues we don't go. So they had a lot of unwrapping to do that morning. Chip's Grandmother had 10 kids 8 that are still living. When you get all of them and all of their kids and they all have atleast 3 kids each then you get alot of gifts. I am still opening gifts and my house looks like a toy factory exploded. I guess it is about time to go and get rid of some of their old toys.

Then after we opened all the gifts from Santa we got dressed and went to my parents house to eat lunch and then after that it was off to my in laws to eat and open more gifts.

Then we took a little family photo at my in laws house. Can you tell that the kids are just loving taking a picture.
