So apparently I only blog every couple months and therefore need to update on what has happened since my previous post. To be honest, not much, hence my lack of posts but I will give it a try. April and May were pretty dull around our house. I worked everyday and Jim taught and then coached JV baseball for Shadle Park H.S. Needless to say Jim and I did not see a whole heck of a lot of eachother. He had to be at school by 6:30 every morning to catch up on school work since he left school everyday at 3:15 for practice or games. His team did fairly well and Jim really likes coaching so hopefully they will have him back next year. That pretty much sums up April.
May has been an interesting month for us and I am thankful its almost over. Let me take you back to the first working day in May. This is how it started:
Beasley got super sick, and when i say sick i mean sick, everywhere. We were taking Bledsoe in to get fixed that day anyway so we called the vet and asked if we could bring Beasley in at the same time. Talk about an adventure. I had to get up at 6:30 to get both dogs ready to go by 7. Jim went with us because I do not think I could have gotten them both there in my little (stick shift) car without causing a major accident or having to take 2 trips. Snyder saw us outside the house getting ready to go...I'm sure he laughed at our rolling chaos. So we get to the vet and drop them both off without a lot of issues and they say they will call me when they are ready. Both dogs were ready to be picked up at lunch so I run up there to get them but remember I can only take one at a time (thank the lord we only live like a mile from the vet). So I take Bledsoe first thinking she will be easy and then I can run back and grab Beasley. Yep well Bledsoe decided to puke all over my car on the way home. She was not even the one with the illness, that was Beasley. So I get home try and clean my car of all the vomit and then go back to pick up Beasley. Then I decide I better ask the vet if its normal for dogs to puke after getting spayed so I had to wait another 10 min for the vet to come and answer that. (Just in case you are wondering, its not normal but I just had to watch her for the next day or so and she ended up being fine). So back in the car I go, with Beasley this time, who proceeds to bark and jump all over me as I am trying to navigate my way down Garland ave. We made it home and into thier kennels but my car REEKED like vomit and I was about 15 minutes late getting back to work; thank God I have such an understanding boss in Bobby :)
So that was how my month started and this is how my month ended: Back at the vet again with both dogs. Bledsoe had to get her stitches out and Beasley was sick and throwing up again. There is good news and bad news to this story. The good news is I did not end up with puke in my car, the bad news is that instead I ended up with a dent in my car and a hole in my garage. Its a long story but lets just say that when parking a manual make sure the e-brake is fully on before hopping out of your car to chase your dog :) Lesson learned!
Nice I know. Thank the Lord again that my father-in-law is such a handy man and can help patch up the garage until we decide to move and have to make it look pretty again. The car looks worse than it actually is, all the white is just paint that can be buffed out and the dent is only in the plastic part of my car so eventually that too can just be popped out.
Well, as sad as it is that I just summed up my last two months in the past 4 paragraphs there really is not much else to say. Jim is currently in Washington, D.C chaperoning the 8th grade trip, so the next post should contain some pics from that as well as the Prom we both chaperoned the night before he left. I hope you all are out enjoying the beautiful sun we have been getting, dont forget the sunscreen!!! :)
