All the more reason...

Why there is certainly a place for me in animal heaven!  

Poor squirrel got hit by a car and was just barely hangin on when I got there.

So I scooped him up...

and moved him across the way where he could die in peace.  :(

Good news was I was not the only one who cared.  I love knowing I am not the only animal freak!!!

Why me?

I am out of the house with plenty of time to spare.  I have a movie and dinner to make with the girlfriends.  I pull out of my driveway and see two dogs, a rot and a bulldog roaming the streets... I pull over.  They are both very tired and thirsty.  Very sweet dogs.  No collars.  UGH~ I go to the house nearest to where they are at and ask if they know anything.  Nothing... I follow them down the hill coaxing them to go home, asking "where is home"... they enter an open garage and I hear a scream.  A lady comes out and I say "I take it those are not your dogs?"  No!!  She starts to help me for a bit and then she starts walking them up the wrong way... I get frustrated.  I get in my car and drive around the neighborhood looking for any open gates, any people I can ask... I finally get to the bottom of a culdesac and see a man and ask him if any of his neighbors have a bulldog?  He points to a house and says I think they do... I turn around and see an open gate.  YAY~ pretty sure I found their house.  So I drive back up to find the dogs, they are back by my house and my neighbor is talking to them.  I have him help me load them into my car.  We get the bulldog in pretty easy, but the Rot, not having it.  Until he jumps in my front seat.  I then straddle my legs around him to get to the gas and the brake and we are off... I take them to the yard with the open gate, the nice neighbor helps me unload, and when we round the corner in the back yard to make sure there is water, we see a bulldog.  AHHH~ we both panic thinking this is not their yard.  But he quickly says they could have two.  I am not sure.  The dogs act like they know each other, so we decide to leave em.  I am now, hairy, slobbery and stinky and 10 minutes late to the movie... I will have to go back and investigate the dogs situation, otherwise I won't sleep at night.  But a good ending an hour later!

Here is the Rot in my front seat... imagine me driving around him!

Klepto?

Aubrey has a tendency to hide, sneak and sometimes steal things... yesterday was one of those days.  Her teacher wrote me about an incident in class where she snuck (stole) a package of Kool aid to take home.  When confronted she acted like she didn't know it was a big deal.  Maddening I tell ya!  So we had the talk with her for the 3rd or 4th time and had her write an apology letter to her teacher... I am a little worried about this trait.  Any suggestions???  Anyone who has the same issue?

I just about died when I saw Aubrey doing her "workout" in the front yard... so serious!!!  Even concentrating on her breathing!

Open house

Have I mentioned that Aubrey has the greatest teacher that ever lived?  She is exceptional!  I will miss her dearly!  Good news is there is a great chance that Dalin will have her in two years :)

Therapy...

By the time I landed in Atlanta after 12 hours of travel I had a headache so bad I almost didn't make it to my room... I took an advil and decided it was nothing a little retail therapy couldn't fix.  (And a twix!)  I had both of these stores staring at me from my window!!!



I miss my babies already.  I will be here for less than 12 hours... but I still miss them!

I can't stop eating!

What is wrong with me?  Three cupcakes, two hot dogs, chips, candy, pasta with chicken, corn, toast... UGH~ I am a bottomless pit today!  I feel gross, but can't stop!  Anyone have days like this?  Oh and it is a full moon and I am wide awake!  Gonna be a long night!

Dalin is a star~

Which I already knew but yesterday for his spring show at school, he shined!  He came home "sick" from school at about 1 and I had two of the teachers call me to see if he was ok enough to be at the show?  They needed him!  I exclaimed "the show will go on"!  

He was fine btw.  Just missing daddy!

BBQ ANYONE?

Summer is here, we can feel it...


Barbaric!

That is the word I used when asking why hers was so different from her friends that have spacers?  Basically her bite is that jacked!  She had a very traumatic day!  But when we got home she was fine and wouldn't shut up cuz she liked the way it made her talk!!!

Baseball is over...

Today was Dalin's last game of the season.  It has been so much fun watching him grow and get better at a sport.  He is a little stud!

To all the mom's out there!  I hope this was a beautiful day for you!

Mine was lovely.  Thank you D for helping the kids make it a special one!  I love being a mom!  It is the best job I will ever have!!

Great Grandma!!

My beautiful flowers!

Great question!

Today Aubrey asks me if I have any brothers or sisters?  I say yes... who do you think Uncle Chris and Scott are?  Or Aunt Julie and Megan, etc... she says "OH"... I can see her wheels turning.  She said, '' you still see them"!  I said yes... She said "that means I have to see Dalin still?"  I am laughing out loud now.  And say "yes".  She grunts.

Will they ever be friends?
