3-Day


I signed up today to do the 3-day Breast Cancer walk in August. I have wanted to do this for a few years but when I would mention it to people to do it with me no one was interested. A friend told me today that she was doing it and if I could make a donation or would I be willing to walk with her. I decided to walk with her. The only thing I am concerned about is raising the $2300. I have 8 months to do it, but that is still A LOT of money. For anyone that would be interested in helping you can go to this website and enter my name. Any little bit helps, as it all adds up in the end. The donations are also tax deductible.

Thank you!

Rude Awakenings

Weekends don't feel like weekends. They used to be staying up late and sleeping in. Now, staying up late (without the help of a M-80) is closer to midnight. Polly does not let me sleep in and Jon makes no movement to get up when she whines or barks until I say something.

This morning was paired with Polly constantly eating the rabbit poo outside. Everyone tells me its okay because their poo is mostly berries and fiber, things that would be good for her to eat anyway. Well, this morning she threw up those "berries" on the living room carpet. In the summer she used to throw up because the change in temperature was so great that it was more of a heat thing and it was a bile throw up-clear. This was NOT clear. There was even a "berry" left. I can't keep her from eating it because it is all over the back part of the yard.

I want a weekend without cleaning, laundry, whining and too early in the morning barking. Really Polly, it's just Duke from next door...you every day!

tasks

Things are always easier when you have help:

1. Finishing the laundry - I always forget to take out the last load from the dryer.
2. Making the bed - you don't have to walk to all four corners.
3. Grocery shopping - only have a few things to get, bringing Jon with makes me stick to the list or I can just ask him to pick it up on his way home.
4. Cleaning the house - Two floors and two people, funny how that works out.
5. Dinner/Dishes - if one cooks the other picks up.

Life has been way less stressful since I found someone that takes some of the everyday tasks off my hands.

Thank you.
