Finally, A good morning! The dogs are playing and entertaining each other so good.
They are making a horrible mess, but compared to the few weeks we've had, this is heaven!!
Nick does sit-ups and push-ups every night and Maggie thinks that it is her job to hold him down I guess!
Okay, just so you don't have to wonder...here is a brief run down of the last couple weeks.
First off, the stove/oven quit. Not a part that could just be fixed, but completely dead. So, with a twinkle in my eye (and not knowing what the future would hold) I very happily picked out a new one with everything that I wanted! Yeah!
The next week, the dryer quit drying! After towels running through the cycle 3 times we finally decided something was wrong. But, who has time to look right then? So, a day went by, maybe two and the laundry is getting piled. Nick looks at it and after much grumbling finally thinks he know what is wrong. I take the part down to the appliance shop, and they don't carry it, etc.
To make a long story shorter, I still don't have a dryer 10 days later, and I am TIRED of stringing towels across my living room at night. Not to mention the dogs love to jump up and pull them down. We look total red neck around here. But, there is hope that the part will arrive with in the next week........GROAN!
Now, this week I went to bed to find a note on my pillow from Abi. It was quite a nice note, but at the bottom it said she needed a way to raise $200 for some retainers that she needed to RE-Purchase!!!!! She threw them away at school by accident.....mind you she has only had them 2 weeks! AHHHHHHHHH!
To top this all off........Zeke (the old dog) has been barfing for about 3 weeks and finally I had to take him to the vet. He is on Medicine for contaminated water and we must feed him only boiled chicken and rice....Oh Brother, what next?
So, as you can see....Happy Dogs makes a happy day for me this week! At least one thing is making a turn for the better!
I hope you all have a better week, and just think of replacing all your appliances if you think you are having a bad day!!

Hi Beth
I could SO relate with your appliance "issue". We JUST replaced our wall oven. The old one was the original oven so about a 1979 model. The inside of it was deteriorating and, and, and... So we bit the bullet and just land night Evan put in a brand new K/A wall oven/micro combo. It's stainless steel and absolutely beautiful! Then across the kitchen we have replaced our old worn out d/w that wouldn't even get dishes clean the 2nd time around with a K/A s/s. It's equally beautiful and I can totally justify the cost at which they came.........I will never grumble about baking anything or doing dishes again!! Promise! Then your retainer story - been there,done that too...Jaylin left hers on Waikiki beach a year ago and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it - ahhhh is right! Then..... just last Saturday, Hank, puked right before we went to bed.....not sure why...but it was gross. So whenever things aren't going just right, remember you're not in it all alone! Take care!
Isn't that the way it goes? They always seems to come in three's...hopefully you're done for a while now!
When it rains it pours sometimes...I can relate! We have had illness for 8 weeks...YES 8 weeks! Lachlan just got sick again on Saturday night and is still sick...we leave for Maui on Thursday...I am crossing my fingers (and Lachlan is in isolation in his room) that the other kids don't get it...this is not fun!
Bethany,
Wow! You need a vacation I think! Where would you like to go and maybe I'll meet you there..ha, ha!! I can see that Nick is "feeling" that age thing when he is inching closer to the big 35! :) I remember someone telling me I was "halfway to dead" when I turned that number!! Nice, eh? At least the life expectancy is closing in on 100 now...I still have a ways to go! :)
I love your entertainment! Wish I was closer! Take care!
Love, LW
