Rainy Morning

This morning, I woke up to rain. I love the rain in the
spring and summer, but in the winter it can be a pain
if the temps drop.
I am so glad that I didn't get the floors mopped yet.
The dogs will be tracking in mud. I am trying to teach
the pup to wait until I wipe her feet off but she just
comes running in. She does go to her kennel when
told so I make her wait there until her paws are
dry and just take a damp cloth to wipe the prints
up.
My hands are feeling some what better, but they
are still swollen so will do little things today that
need to be done. I do need to go to MIL's some
time today.
Thanks to all that leave comments on my thread

In MAJOR PAIN TODAY.............

I have been off for a few days trying to get my house in order
and than.......DH throws a wrench in it...
Yesterday, DH decided to get 2 recliners that his mom had
given us. I explained to him that before we brought them
over I wanted to get the living room set up so that all we had
to do was put them into place. So, we started doing that but
couldn't quite figure out how we wanted the furniture, so off
we go to get the recliners. Now, my whole house is trashed!
There is furniture all over in the living room, kitchen and hall.
We bring the recliners in and rearrange the other furniture
about 10 times and still can not figure it. Now the whole time
this is going on DH keeps running back and forth to check
his cell phone as a friend of his wants DH to help him build
a deck around his pool. Which is fine, but we have this major
rearranging project in the living room. Finally, after about a
hour or so of this, the living room is still not done but I get
really fed up with DH paying more attention to his phone
than the task at hand, I tell him to go to his friends. Which he
does, so while he is gone, I figure out the furniture and get
the living room all set up and put the rest of the house back
in order. DH comes home about 4 hours later and loves it.
I still needed to fix dinner, luckily it was ham balls and all
I needed to do was make rice or noodles to go with it and
heat up the ham balls. I had only sat done about 10 minutes
before DH got home, so he fixed dinner. But, I am really
a hurting unit this morning. My hands are killing me, so for
today, I am relaxing and giving them a break. I do need to
vaccum and mop the floors, but that will be done on Monday
Hugs and Prayers to all

Life got in the way.......

Yesterday was one day that I really don't want to repeat
any time soon. My nephew had to have surgery and called
us early in the morning and asked if we could come to the
hospital. Of course, we went. Which means that nothing
got done here at home.That is ok as, it was more important
to be there for him. We did have to explain to him that we
would not be there when he woke up as DH had a dr appt
with the spine specialist. He was ok with that and they took
him in to surgery at 1228 and we had to leave at 1230. His
surgery went well and he is doing fine.
At dh's drs appt, we had to watch a video about the surgery
for his back. We have to wait for work comp to approve it,
so who knows how long that will take and than he will be off
work at least another 6-8 weeks after that. He is so bored and
fraustrated.
After that we were heading over to mil's when her security com
called us and told us that her alarm went off. Now, we know that
she is home as she just had knee surgery so we find out that it is
her medical alert that went off. Luckily, we were just a few minutes
away so we told them to hold off calling the police as we were all
most there. We get there and let ourselves in and find her with her
walker in the bathroom. She accidetally hit the button but couldn't
get to the phone to let them know that she was fine. We call the
security company and tell them that all is well. We also told her that
she needs to take a phone with her just in case.
By the time we got home, I was exhausted. I know that I didn't eat
well or get my water in. Today is a new day and will be starting over
I also need to get things done that was suppose to be done yesterday
and work on what needs to be done today.

Feeling Blah.......

I am not sure why but for the last few days, I
have just felt blah. Maybe it is the weather, even
though yesterday was beautiful. Maybe, it is that
it is winter and I do have a bit of seasonal depression.
Or maybe, it is stress. Who knows!!!!!
I did lose 3 lbs in Jan. Was hoping for more, but will
take what I can get. I am sure that me not getting all
my water in isn't helping. I have a tried everything that
I can think of to get myself to drink my water. Flavors,
teas, not drinking coffee until I had at least 16 oz of water
gone, and even trying the treat myself with something if I
get all my water in. But, it hasn't worked. The no coffee
until I had 16 oz of water gave me a terrible headache and
I drink decaf coffee.

Boy, it is cold outside at.......

4 in the morning. We have to keep the pup calm, so we have to
take her outside on leash. This morning, she was up and needed
out, so I just put on shoes and my coat. Well, that was the wrong
thing to do......LOL I was about frozen when we came back in 5
minutes later. She would of stayed out longer to play if I had let
her......LOL
I have gotten my morning routine done and am now getting ready
to clean out the ice box. Today is our trash day, so it will be picked
up and I won't have to worry about the strays getting into it. I do
really need to figure out a easier way of keeping it clean as that is
one thing that I really hate to do. Any and all suggestions are wel-
come.

The Pup is home.......

We picked up the pup yesterday from the vet and
she is one stoned puppy.....LOL!!!!! She was having
some problems walking but that is to be understood
as the vet had given her some pain meds for the ride
home. She did pretty good on the way home until she
had a accident in DH's truck. I tried to get that cleaned
up when we got home, but there is only so much that
I could do with it freezing outside.
She slept most of the day and only ate 1/2 of what she
normally does in dog food, but loved the cookies that
I made for her on Monday. I also gave her some dog
biscuits and cheese. Had to give her some meds and
she will take that with the cheese, but didn't want
it to upset her tummy.
I took her out this morning, and she is acting a bit
more normal, so that is a good sign that she is feeling
better. We have to keep her as calm as possible until
the 6th of Feb. so that the internal stitches heal and
dissolve. That will be a chore!!!!!

Doggie Cookies

I just finished making the dogs some peanut butter
doggie cookies. They both love them and are usually
under my feet when I am making them. I figure that
the pup deserves a special treat when she comes
home from the vet tommorrow.
The house is all clean and the dishes are done. I have
one load of clothes in the washer. So, will have that
done in a bit.
Not much planned for the day as it is snowing and
I woke up really early.
