I have had a pit in my stomach for some time now. Anxiety, as I watched us sink lower into a recession, knowing that my benefits would not survive an attack of some sort. Well, it is here. His name is Andy Dillon. The pit in my stomach justified.
I have been in education for 13 [...]

Wonder Nut?
Posted in What's On My Mind, tagged completely wrong, Fonzie, neutering on July 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Keep in mind, I am fully aware of just how wrong it is to photograph my dog’s, ummm…nut? But look for yourself…
He was neutered this week. I was under the impression that when a male dog is neutered, his, um, balls were removed. But, there it is…a very definite ball. Much smaller, without a doubt, [...]
Getting Better…

So I complained about my shitty day. It was that bad. Yesterday and today were a bit better for the following reasons:
1. We got a much better quote on paint for our house. $1200 better. We can definitely live with the price we just got. But, I have to call the other guy to tell [...]

This post is a downer…you have been warned. I am very stressed out. My day was awful, and I am hoping tomorrow is a better day. Here is how my day broke down:
8:00am – Woke up to Todd upset because he thinks Fonzie peed on the couch. With the welcoming smell of coffee in the [...]

Fonzie did well today. We are trying to keep him from jumping and running around.
I think his bark is a little higher today. Coincidence?

Poor Delaney. Today, bees decided to try and build a hive in the gap between our patio and foundation…right under our back door. Laney simply walked out and a swarm of them flew out. She got stung under her eye. Thankfully, she is not severly allergic. We know she will not be in need of [...]

…your dog mounts your youngest daughter and her tutu.
Fonzie’s appointment is Monday. Sorry Fonz, but you brought this on yourself. Keep him in your thoughts…
Snip.
Camping is Therapy
Posted in Family Stuff, tagged camping, Delaney, Family Stuff, Mackenzie, summer, trips, vacation on July 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have discovered something about camping. It is therapeutic. It is a lot of work, setting up and breaking down, as well as keeping our plot of dirt “clean” and somewhat tidy. It is busy with two little ones constantly on the go. Miles in the wagon, endless trips to the bathroom, constantly wiping sand [...]
I Want Daddy!

One of the hardest things, as a parent, is when your child is sick. On our way up north, Mackenzie ended up throwing up on the way and spiking a fever the whole first night. As promised, I never left her side. I held back her hair when she got sick, I put a cold [...]
Mackinac Island 2009

We just returned from another trip to Higgins Lake. However, we decided to take an overnight trip to Mackinac Island too. It was Delaney’s first time, and it was the first time we stayed the night there. We trekked all over the island with the girls in their strollers. We enjoyed looking at the beautiful [...]
