Dog in a Funnel...

My dog Copper developed a sore under his armpit and I have been trying for about 1 1/2 weeks to get it to heal but he keeps licking it over and over, so bad that I have been losing sleep listening to him lick. Well today was the final straw, I have had it. I decided that I would construct a funnel collar so that he couldn't reach around and lick. I found this old piece of poster board that I had made a birthday poster out of for Trevins preschool class and cut it then stapled it around his neck. So far he isn't enjoying it to well. Hopefully he will now be on the road to recovery.

Boredom

Okay, so here I am on a Wednesday afternoon with absolutely nothing fun to do. I could come up with about fifty million things that I need to do but none of them seem to be all that exciting or rewarding. I guess after reading all the fun and exciting things that everyone else has posted that maybe I would post about how sometimes there just really isn't anything to post.

Sincerely,

Desperately Seeking Excitement (or I may just fall asleep).

OCD...

Okay, so I just read a blog from a friend about people assuming that just because she does certain things that she has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Well after ready a comment that her mother made I have to totally agree and say, why isn't it okay to just be a clean person and like everything in its place. I know I would rather just keep up on it so that I don't spend a whole Saturday clean and scrubbing instead of spending time with my family. My house still tends to get dirty from time to time just like everyone else's, but I feel less anxious and stressed when everything is in its place. So call me crazy but there it is all on the line, and you know what I don't even feel bad about it. I run with a pack of OCD obsessed friends and family (you know who you are) and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Preschool

Teagan started preschool this year and how excited she was to go. I know I have said it before but I just can't believe that my darling little girl is growing up. We have finally hit a mile marker that I have been waiting for. I now have two mornings a week that I am absolutely kid free. I am thrilled because now I can work, go grocerie shopping, clean the house, etc... with out some one asking for something, making a total mess or having a nervous break down. And Teagan is thrilled to finally be in school. She liked her first day so much that her Teacher Mrs. Sheppard (also her nana) had to call and tell me not to pick her up because she was hysterical that she had to leave, so my inlaws brought her home instead. I feel like I am starting to get a piece of myself back and I am enjoying my kids more ( not that I didn't enjoy them before but to be honest we just got sick of each other ) I can't wait to see them after school is out and talk to them about there day, and I think that they feel more fulfilled to be learning.
