SPCA

I use to think that the SPCA was a good organization that helped animals who had been abused. Since the beginning of this year, I have found out that is not the case.

I have a lab/mix puppy dog who is mainly a house dog. Yes, she goes outside on occasion to play and chase the squirals and if she is bad during dinner time, she is put out because I want to eat my food, not the dog.

Earlier this year, the SPCA came to visit me because my inside dog did not have an outside dog house. I was confused and said she is mainly a house dog. That didn't matter. If she is outside for even a minute, she needs shelter. The lady reported that she would be back to see if I had bought a dog house or is able to show that I am providing adequate shelter.

I bought a $100 dollar dog house that is only used to put Grace's food in. Grace refuses to go inside the dog house unless she wants to eat.

Earlier today I was leaving the house to pick up the girls from Mother's Day Out and Grace wanted out. When I was coming back home, guess who I saw, the Houston SPCA. I hope that they do not come revisit me because my inside dog was outside playing and enjoying the fresh air.

A New Day

Well, this morning was a slow start. I am very tired, but lunch is now over, I re-began doing laundry and beginning on the house. Girls are doing good.

As I am typing, I looked down at my belly and began laughing. I think that my pregnancy belly is finally beginning to show. Thank goodness! I am 20 weeks and people do not believe me when I say that I am pregnant. I will be glad to start parking in the expecting mom's parking spot at the store. I always feel bad about parking there because I never look pregnant. People always look at me with displeasure when I park there. If I could only lift up my shirt and show them my belly. Only in my last month I look pregnant.

Well, off to finish the lunch dishes and then put my girls down for their quiet time. Maybe today I can get a nap too! That would be nice.

Yes, last night I had double choch. fudge brownie ice cream for dinner. It was wonderful! I'm still not sharing. Tonight, I will be making my infamous steak cervesa. Everyone loves it and it is super easy to make.

As far as today, I am very tired. I slept ok last night, but for what ever reason I am dragging. I finally was able to feel my baby today. My two previous pregnancies I have been able to feel the baby moving around 15-16 weeks. I am 20 weeks and today I finally felt movement.

Everyone talks about pregnancy as it is the greatest thing in the world. I find with all three, for what ever reason, I feel very lonely. Everyone is busy with their busy lives and it is a busy season. As far as family goes, it creates more strife. I guess it is better to be alone. At least I have my two girls and my wonderful husband.

Sharing...

When it comes to my children and my husband, I share the majority of things, but I learned last night that I refuse to share something very special to my heart....ice cream. Now most of you know that I could care less about such things, especially ice cream. I'd rather have a good hot cheese sticks, powdered donuts, or cheese fries; however, last night I was at Kroger and I saw choch. ice cream with brownies! It was calling to me. It wanted me to pick it up and bring it home with me. So I did!

Today, I want my ice cream, but I am refusing to share with my daughter, so that means no ice cream for me. I long for it!

I know that I am a horrible mommy, but I share almost everything of mine. First bites of dessert, first drink of my Sonic Drink, but I refuse to share this ice cream. It is mine!!!!

Maybe I will have a change of heart tomorrow.....we shall see.

What a day!

What a day I have had! I woke up, felt great and wanted to begin the day off with a bang, well, I had a bang, but not the kind I was looking for. Got the girls dressed to run errands, buy fall shoes, grocery shopping, post office, etc. Loaded the girls in the car and the garage door did not open. Yipee! That is ok I thought because I just pulled the little string and raised the door my self. Not a big deal, until my car would not start. Appeared to be a battery, but nothing to fear. Called Jack, he is not able to come home until later, again, that is ok. Put my car in neutral, pushed my car out of the garage....almost hit the neighbor's air condition, pulled the emergency break and presto it stopped! Perfect day to clean out the garage, sweep it out, etc. Girls had a blast being outside playing with sidewalk chalk, blowing bubbles, then Jack came home! yeah! everything is right in the world, until his car would not start. Two adults stranded and I need groceries in a very bad way for supper.

I think that I am going to pull weeds in my flower bed to get rid of my frustration. I hope that tomorrow goes better.

The First Day!

Well, Jack and I are wanting to have a healthier lifestyle. I lost all of my baby weight and this past summer, while it was hot, I gained it all back! What can I say, I was tired and lots of people said get a cup of coffee or a coke and it will help you with your energy. Well, a six pack-12 pack a day later, a whole days worth of calories just from drinks are going straight to my back side. That needs to stop.

This morning, Parker and I got up and worked out to Jillian Micheals. It was easy at first until I stopped to take care of Addison. WOW! My legs and abs hurt and in a good way.

For Breakfast we had oatmeal.
Snack: Carrots and ranch dressing
Lunch: I had a ham, tomato, and green onion omlet. Very good!

I hope that the day continues to go well....

Well, I am new to the whole blogging thing, so lets see if I don't really mess this thing up!
