Wilson: Day two

He is sooooooo freakin cute. He loves me and only me. He won't take his medicine for anyone but me. Kinda funny. And he favors 'females' overall (me, Casey, Mom, neighbors that are women) so some part of me thinks some woman had him and something happened to her. Personally (not prejudiced) women think of more details....LIKE PUTTING A FREAKIN TAG ON THE COLLAR WITH A NAME AND NUMBER. I mean, just sayin'. So anyhoo, he's one cutie-pa-tootie.

what I wasn't planning this weekend

Taking my Mother in law to the ER at 4 a.m. with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Woohoo, not fun. Now I must try to clean up for parties. Never mind me if I'm sleeping in a corner tomorrow about this time. Oh, and mother in law is okay, nothing a little emergency appendectomy won't fix. Aren't those for 8 year olds?

Weekend Plans?

What's up with you this weekend? We're kinda busy, but not really going anywhere. Tomorrow is hangout and cleanup day. We're havin' my 'Old school swim party' as Fishdog is calling it here on Sunday. Then my niece turns 6 next week so we're having her birthday party here on Monday. Have a good one!!

Day one with Wilson

This dog was very well trained by someone. I can't believe there's not an APB out for him. He understands every command. He crates well (although he doesn't go in there on his own yet) and doesn't howl when he's in the crate or left alone. He loves to put his head in your lap. I haven't noticed anything chewed up yet. He hasn't had an accident in the house. He's great on a leash. And he eats good. What's not to love about Wilson?

Wilson

Okay, it wasn't Stinkydog's picture of this little cutie that got me hooked. It might have been this one or the fact that he looks a lot like Georgia. He's a doll, a little fat, but we can fix that. He loves Coco and just went for his first walk down the street with the kids and I to see how he would fair on a leash. He did well, shedding the extra pounds shouldn't be difficult. He ate all his dinner and so far hasn't taken a shit in the house. What a good boy Wilson!!!!

Cleaning Mystery

How can you get your toilets sparkly clean and never even touch a bottle of toilet cleaner, use a toilet brush, or a special little cleaning tablet you leave in the tank? How can this be possible?

I'm not sure either but my sweet little group of mexican cleaning girls (who don't speak english) manage to do it every two weeks. I'd ask them, but they can't understand me. I came home today and all the toilet brushes were dry and I still have the same container of toilet bowl cleaner that I had when they started a year ago. I've been on to this little mystery for quite a while and can't figure out how they do it. And believe me, I've checked our toothbrushes before. I'm not complaining. I just want to know how it's done. Because it bugs me that I don't know how they're doing it. Any ideas?

Monday

A couple of interesting things happened today. First I sent my son to school not realizing he was starting 'junior high'. Wow. You guys know he goes to private school and they have different separation for age groups than public school. But in all reality he just started junior high. Wow. Then I went to Academy sports, and umm, let's say someone wasn't feeling well in the bathroom (not me) and I slipped coming out of the bathroom and busted my F@*!# knee. Yeah, it really is sore. More on that later.

more beach

usually the dolphin rides/tours we go on are pretty lame....not this time!

Phelps Phan

Mel had a good point over at fictionistas today. I agree, but when Casey came downstairs decorated like this we just had to watch our man pull in the gold for the USA! I do not agree with the Chinese government on a lot of things but we have chosen to watch our team and cheer them on.

Beach recap

Beach recap:

Day one- overcast but all day in the ocean we go. Kids had fun.

Day two- more sunny but the jellyfish came out of nowhere, we counted around 49 or so.

Day three- Connor meets 2 chicks that have a crush on him, we took them crabhunting with us.

Day four-day at the beach watching 2 chicks coo over Connor all day. Heh.

Day five- Chicks have to go home (thank God). Back to being by ourselves. Great day hunting shells.

Day six-last day, kids restless and sick of each other. Dolphin ride. pack up to leave in the morning.

Copy Cat

You like? Okay, I totally copied off of Stinkydog and got myself a new look!

Vacation

We be beaching this week! Blake, the kids, and I leave Sunday for the beach. I am soooo looking forward to sleeping in, hanging out on the beach, reading, and havin' a cold one anytime I want.
See ya'll next week.
