4 days and 1 hour until

I can breathe again...it just seems that work this year has been a whirlwind from start to finish, and other things that I enjoy have gone to the wayside. Other things that I do not enjoy so much but need to like cleaning have gone the wayside too! So 4 days and 1 hour until school lets out for the summer... In the last few weeks, I have learned that things will be quite different there next year, and I am not 100% behind the change. The Boss says we will know our schedules before we leave, but last year I had mine in hand, and since then 8 major changes occurred! So a little apprehensive!

Now other things going on, I have been so busy can't know for sure if Ralph as left my car. I got the huge project done for a friend that I have been talking about. (My facebook friends got a sneak peek) I will share next week with you guys here, after the friend receives the project. I have last minute entries to make a mini album out of, then that will be a big huge sigh of relief!

Puppers will be 1 year old on June 4th (will do a look back post on that day) but he has to remind us this week that he is such a huge part of our lives. Wednesday after work I came home about 4 and walked in from the garage, to nearly pass out from the smell ...puppers had gotten sick in his crate. 2 hours later, he seemed fine, ate great (remember back in January he was not eating, lethargic etc) ok so thought ok must have been a bug. I had Thursday off (was to go down south until my DEAR aunt and uncle took a vacation) so instead stayed here just in case. No problems what so ever. Then yesterday mom called at work (she goes in later on Fridays since they no longer publish on Fridays) said no sooner than I left puppers started to do his parakeet bark ..high pitched get me out of here..he got sick again outside...and then when I got home at lunch just the same as Wednesday night..except that this time after clean up, he REFUSED to go in his crate! After a few more bouts of the doggy flu at 5 pm he went back in his crate...(You do not want to force a dog as then he will fight it all the time) so Thank God I have my coworkers to step in, so my usual flying home lunch time lasted the rest of the day. Mom even flew home to attempt ....Since he skipped a day, the vet thinks he may have gotten a bad bag of doggy food. Not expired but just different enough to affect him..I pray that is all it is (we got a new bag from a different store and will try it) as that is the only thing he consistently ate over that period of time! OY OY

Well off to do a billion and one things ..thanks for listening to my sagas ....Catch you later!

February

Where did January go? First off, took Puppers to vet, AL (our vet) said it could be an obstruction, but instead of doing the xrays, wanted to try antibiotics and other meds first. Just in case it was a virus or bug..He gave him an injection of the antibiotic and also a med to stop the upchucking. He sent home with us more antibiotics, and some pepto for dogs..LOL...no more puking, but also no more eating....but he isn't acting bad or anything...wound for sound as usual...Vet will check in and see how he is doing early on in the week ...

Today started LOAD (Layout a Day) now last year, it was in the midst of the January from down below..but managed to get it done..So will be posting here my LOAD layouts....so here is today's (he is on my mind so ran with it, picture from Friday)

Frisbee

So as a kid, my dad, his brothers and his dad used to play Frisbee Golf....Huge fanatics ...the gene was NOT passed on to me....got Carlton a little frisbee, so the last few days taking it out and tossing it around to burn off some of his puppy energy...so why may I ask is it me who is exhausted after these excursions..could be the trips into bushes and trees to retrieve the darn frisbee ...but hey I was regressing into the frisbee golf days and those were the targets right....Oh Dear Uncles and Grandad a round of Frisbee with the puppy please...My favorite Uncle Gary is now retired so he has the time to run up and wear out the puppy *wink*

Now for some "organizing" I have found if I label things (boxes etc) I am more apt to put the things away in the "right" places..enter my labels I created on the computer...they were a label Jessica Sprauge gave away in one of the CK articles, so I just added my titles and here they are .... All cut out, the first pictures shows them in my containers, 2nd is the ones I have to do...




Well Mom has the week off, new refrig and cart came today, and puppy was in crate all day (no comment) so off to play with him.....don't forget yesterday's post get in those cards for Cammie's Blog Candy...Catch you later

Manic Monday

Today marked the first Monday with Kids, as last Monday was Teacher's Inst. It was best described as Manic....Computer issues (what else is new) which always makes labs SO much fun ..kids all at once telling me theirs didn't work..planned on doing testing for Accelerated Reader, but that was quickly scratched....last week was so crazy with first week, new schedules etc, I questioned if I could take Maternity leave for the new puppy ..lol...only child I am going to have in the unforeseen future...I do love my Job, but there are days, I question my sanity ...

Speaking of Carlton ..requests have been made for recent pictures of him....
These are him doing two of his favorite things, sitting in recliner and eating grass...hard to believe in one more week he will be 3 months old! Now one of my favorite quotes (just added it to the wall of my SB room/den) is "Let us be Silent that We May Hear the Whispers of God" so many times in my life I have heard the whispers, just as I was typing this Carlton was behind my computer desk, he loves to sleep back there, I heard a groan (not a usual sound) so got under there, and he had pulled a cord (he usually leaves these alone but as he is getting taller, he snags things easier) down and around....his neck....and was fighting it, Got it off...The sheer thought of it makes me cry ...so I have blocked it off until I can get the cords tacked up higher...In the craziness of my life, I thank God I was able to hear the whisper...or in this case groan...off to to go spend some quality time with him...Catch you later...
