For the life of me, I cannot keep up with a daily blog but I will not quit! How do people do it???? My DH J suggested that I keep a log (maybe he means a journal, another thing I’ve never been any good at???) during the week and then paste it into my blog some time during the weekend and add the photos……………..uh, easy as smeasy, right? Well, we will see. Here goes for the rest of the week and we will see how next week goes! And I give up trying to make it all go together, if you don't get the pictures and the journaling, let me know!

Saturday is supposed to be my day to watch whatever MOMMY wants to watch. I usually end up watching whatever the girls want to see but today I watched a little CMT. I don’t know how long the video of Johnny Cash has been out but B fell in love with it. The two of us got out in the middle of the floor and danced up a storm. Had a blast! In walks DH-J and him and I dance while B starts dancing up a storm right by herself until she crashes in the floor. While A sits over on the couch and says that she is the only normal person in our family. Well, of course she is the only normal person in our family. She is the one who dances on stage in front of people. Not the rest of us!

Man what a rough night, morning and day! Nuthead went to sleep when we did. I took him out to go potty before we went to sleep. I took him to potty when the alarm when off and as soon as he came back in, he went potty again. And twice before we left for work. Mama found him in the house running loose and wild three times after she had taken him outside and put him back in the crate. Apparently he must have not slept good because he didn't have a good morning!

My mom always hated animals. So she said. She had a blind chicken that she carried around when she was little. Then when I had Sasha, she would take her over to my grandma’s house every morning when I was in college so she wouldn’t have to stay at the house by herself all day. Now tell me, if someone will go that far out of their way before they go to work, how can they honestly not like animals. And so, how can I love dogs as much as I do and A love dogs as much as she does and have my mom not love then? But no matter how far up or down the love goes, I love the dogs and A loves the dogs.

Need I say more? I love them and I love to watch them sleep!

DH-J decided that he would walk Peanut for me. Said he wouldn’t because WE didn’t want Peanut to attach to him before he attached to me but he is in love with that little dog just like everyone else is around here so he blew it and he walked him. While he was outside two birds came swooping down near the pecan tree and one was HUGE. He yells for me to come look. I run outside and I do see two birds but they are so far away I can’t tell what they are. J says the largest one is an Eagle. WOW! I would love to see an eagle here! Can you tell what it is????

This is B’s snack before she goes to bed……..M&Ms, Skittles and Goldfish Crackers. She ate all of the Goldfish first! Then she goes to sleep before she eats the others.

I'll Try

It's already Saturday. But I will do my best to get my pictures posted Saturday DAY!

B's Birthday Party was yesterday!!!! Little Bit's birthday was Dec 3. Big sister was practicing for ballet and the Nutcracker so she wanted to wait until the next weekend to have her party. The next weekend, was the Saturday morning with the Clauses and one of her best friend's birthday party was that same day, then we were headed to Disney World the next week so we decided to wait until the first weekend in January to have her party. B thought it was a great idea. Then I got sick and when we rescheduled it, we scheduled it far enough away so we'd have enought time to get the invitations out because time was running out fast!

We had a blast. Or should I say the kids had a blast? At least I know B did. Monkey Joe's wasn't as expensive as I thought it was going to be and it was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. It was well worth it!

Later!

Happy Birthday to Me! Yep, I'm almost old. The best part was coming home and the girls being so excited to give me a bottle of perfume and a cake. B even let me take a bite out of the cake as if I was one year old! Too much fun!

Here's my self portrait of the day...... Just wait til next year. I will be old then.

Later

For Thursday January 22, 2009

I'm confused. I'm so far behind posting my photos that I'm not sure what I did when and I know the photos have the dates that are on them, I just don't remember doing things on certain dates now. You will see why in the next post! I don't have a photo for the 22nd but I really do remember taking one. When I get behind from now on, I'm going to make a post for each day just like I would be making if I was posting one each day.

Here's a photo that we took the day we went to the dentist. We saw this back during Christmas and thought it was decorated specifically for Christmas and now we think they may have forgotten their decorations. Its a cell phone tower made to look like a Christmas tree. We haven't seen it at night so we don't know if it lights up or not. It would be neat if it did!

Later!

Big Day at School

I know I'm cheating today. I had a doctor's appointment at the dispensary to be returned back to work with no restrictions that when I missed the last time, took me months to get back to a normal work schedule. There was no way I could miss this appoinment. Best of Bunch is always scheduled for the Wednesday after report cards go out. A got Honor Roll and B got Math Award and Perfect Attendance and since I wasn't going to be there, I got J to take pictures for me today. It was also the 100th day of school today and my mom took pictures for that. I just don't know which one I'll use for a scrapbook idea today.....I wonder where I'll get my inspiration from...............when you have kids, you never have to look far. They always have a ton to give with plenty of hugs and love! Wouldn't you agree?

Here's B first because she is in Kindergarten and they were at 8:30:

Can you tell she was proud of her Perfect Attendance Award and Math Award Notepad? Hey, I'm just glad she's good in math!

Next is A. Her's is at 10:30 because she is in the 2nd grade:

She has been on the Honor Roll every six weeks since she was in 1st grade. I don't know where she gets it from but I am certainly glad she gets it from somewhere! I just wish I was able to help her more.

And here is something B's class did in counting 100 days of school. She had to count 100 Q-tips and for each one she counted, she had to put the number on the chart. She got a few numbers mixed up but the math whiz that they told her she was today, ended up with 100. Makes perfect sense to me, doesn't it to you too????

I have no idea which I will work on for the layout! And tomorrow starts week 4, I think! Boy I am behind!!!!

LATER!!

Where Did Sunday and Monday Go???

That makes me 3 days behind! Sunday, we went to church, ate at Subway, went to Wal-Mart, went to church, ate at Wendy's and came home. We didn't get much done, we all wanted to play with Peanut!

Oh yes, we all think he is just wonderful! Even my mom hasn't had any complaints about him and she doesn't really like any animals!

Monday, we had to take the girls to the dentist. Never a fun trip but not always as bad as you think it will be. Their dentist always tells us to stop by McDonald's and get an ice cream. Only this time, we went by Dairy Queen instead. AJ didn't get a shot so she got a Dilly bar that was an anomaly if you would like to call it that. At least, I've never seen one made this way.

Have you ever seen a Dilly Bar that looked like this? It was just as good as they ever were but rather strange looking!

We've only had Peanut since Saturday but I think he has moved in. I called the vet yesterday and made an appointment to take him over this morning and have him fixed and get him updated on all his shots and have his teeth looked at. When I went in to get him this morning to go potty, this is what I found.

You can't tell me that he doesn't feel at home or he wouldn't be laid out and asleep like this! The vet called this afternoon and because of the overbite or underbite (I can't remember which one now) his lower teeth were so worn that they had to pull three of his teeth. We could see that some of his front teeth looked as if they had been filled down. And where he had been eating only soft food, he had an awful lot of tartar. We had tried feeding him and he would not eat but we finally hand fed him some soft food. We thought he was so spoiled that it was the only way he would eat but now we are thinking that it is because his teeth were so worn down that it hurt to eat unless someone put the food in his mouth and bypassed the teeth in the front. Poor baby. I go pick him up tomorrow. All of us are eager to see him. I will be glad when he trusts us enough to stick with us and no wander around in the house.

Later!
