Good Sunday Morning friends!
It seems the northern blast of Arctic air has given us a wee reprieve before the onslaught next week. We are expecting temps of -34 or colder, hokey smokey! I called the oil man on Friday to fill up our tank. Poor dh, he fouoght it so hard bvecasue he just wanted to use the wood stove but Mother nature has differetn ideas. What steams my clams is that money is supposed to go toward getting a new water softener and new water heater. Looks like that is one back burner until all the debt we're ringin up is paid off...sigh...
I just reread what I posted yesterday and I'm sorry if I left you with impression I didn't realize Miree was bored--I knew it, that's why I altered her schedule. She's growing up fast, but the mom in me doesn't want her to be a big girl too quick, know what I mean?
Puppy Update: Rosie is filling out quite nicely, got a lovely little pot belly on her and she's adjusting just fine. I sent off a thank-you card to the man that found her and a gift card to Canadian Tire and sent off another card to the vet clinic thanking them for taking such good care of her. Tomorrow will be exactly 2 weeks since she's been found and she has made quite a drastic improvement. The time she spent outside forced her puppy hair to be all gone so her adult hair is coming in. She really does look more attractive that way anyway. She is still somewhat skittish about me leaving her but dh has been sooo good with her, giving her extra pets and hugs that she doesn't seem so lonely. Her potty training is going very well--seems it was the people who had to get organized, not the puppy. It has had excellent spin off effects too--I take her for walks 2 times a day, morning and night after eating, and I get the benefit of having my exercise quotient in for the day!
Ruth, if we lived closer, dh would be there in a heartbeat setting you up and it wouldn't cost you a dime. Dh likes to build and repair computers in his spare time and has many people calling him to come and fix the infernal beasts. He never charges anyone and he never expects payment. However, people are truly thankful and generous and do give him a lttle something. You need to find a computer man in town that does house calls like my dh!
Linda, glad it wasn't the flu--the damned Norwalk is horrible! I just finished disinfecting every doorknob, telephone, remote, handle in my house in a vain effort not to get sick!
Dottie, sounds like you really do need these 3 days to de-stress and relax--enjoy!
Jo-Anne, I feel better already! Who knows maybe one day my little dynamo might work for NASA?
Jiff!! I just love that story of your boss--did she ever realize it was her fault?
taz, oh no--you're sleep eating! For goodness sake, get some pork rinds girlie!
Sherrie, there's no such thing as an overprotective mom, just a concerned one. Regrets are in the past and from everything I've read about Tommie, she's one bright and happy child!
Robin, it's called a headband--the thing that gfoes over your forehead and over your ears? Too bad about the women's shelter, I guess a lot of people feel the same way and they have no more storage room left!
Have a good day everyone!
Sunday Jan. 19th Hen's Roost

All I got to say is READ--READ--READ to the child!!!!!!!!
