Mindless Sunday

I'm so sorry you've got to endure the ear problem, Julie. 

I woke up to the sound of Rex getting ready to hurl.  Hustled him outside and then Twister started howling to be let out.  He had a bout of diarreah.  Seems he had one in his crate to at some point during the night.  I spent the first hour of being awake cleaning the poop off of him and his crate.

The day can only improve.

Julie - I hope your ears feel better soon. Was it the diving that caused this and is there a way to prevent it?

Shane woke me up at 6:15 and I was not ready to get up. I took him out and then he just stood there and stared at me like "why are we out here?" DH gets up super early and takes him for a walk first thing, so I think he has come to expect that. I'm somewhat of a morning person but I need some coffee in me before I can even think of a walk.

I need to go buy some groceries and do a little more cleaning but I plan to relax some too. I wanted to record the equestrian jumping today and the DVR wouldn't let me because there was already 2 shows set to record. I checked and DH had set it to record NASCAR and an Indy race, both start around 10 AM and last 3-4 hours. I guess he didn't think I'd want to watch TV today?? I emailed him last night and asked him which race was more important cause one had to go. I think I found a taped version of the NASCAR race that'll play tonight, so I'll record that for him and hope it's the right one.

Phone rings at 5:45 because one of the radio stations needed fixing.  So who STAYED up, and who is still snoring away??

And, it is now official.  The dork who came into my yard and mowed down my garlic killed it all.  I just spent two hours out there with the pitch fork and there is nothing there.  On the plus side, maybe the salty sweat I left out there will kill the weeds.....

Jackie, so glad that I didn't wake up to what you did!  Julie, sending heal quickly vibes for those ears....

Off to shower for the 4th time in 24 hours.....

Sounds like Sunday is starting off to a rocky start.  I hope it gets better.

Julie, did the doctor say it could be weeks or months for the ears to heal? 

Happy belated birthday to your Dad, Tiff.

My day yesterday was uneventful, although very nice.  Even Rick had a very relaxing day.  He gave himself a break and didn't do much, which made me feel good.  He is nonstop lately.

Spent all day yesterday outside sweating my boobs off at an outdoor wedding for my step-nephew.  Note to future brides - if you're having an outdoor wedding in August, make sure to rent a few fans, and provide double the drinks you think you need - particularly water.

Sorry everyone is having a rough start to Sunday.  Waking up to dog poop is the worst - I thought that's what I was going to find when I went into Gretsch and Dolly's room.  Must have been a fart (cuz I don't want to think that one of them pooped and ate it!)

Some reason I am watching Water Polo.  I don't find it interesting, but, whatever - it's the olympics and it's Waaaay too hot to be outside for very long.  If only there was a pool here, then I would be outside.

I am exhausted.  Spent the afternoon at a family reunion picnic (distant Italian relatives that I can never remember how we are related to).  It was at a very nice exclusive park.  It has multiple swimming pools, a few kiddie pools, huge water slides, etc. etc. Plus by the picnic area was a play structure.  Riley should be falling asleep early tonight.  She spent about 2 hours in the pool and since they don't allow any floating/swimming aides she was forced to practice swimming and did really well.

Hope all the furbaby tummy issues are better!

We got some surprise rain, and it rained HARD for over an hour.  Still steamy as heck, but somewhat cooler at least.

We spent hours outside yesterday at Todd's remote.  Near the end of it, one of his listeners very thoughtfully brought ice cream for Todd and "his beautiful wife".  The comment made my day, with the ice cream not far behind!  And, even as dark as my upper body already is from gardening, I burned!

It sounds like swimming has tired out some dogs and kids. :) 

We ran some errands and then stopped in a new self serve frozen yogurt shop.  We had our little sample cups and as I was trying to get a sample of the strawberry (very good, btw) I had a Lucille Ball moment.  I couldn't seem to get the stuff to quit coming out and I was shoving the little cups under and grabbing at DH's cups and made a thorough mess of things. lol  They lost a little money on that transaction.

I've got King Ranch chicken in the oven.  :)  We had a little rain shower and it cooled things off nicely.  All the dogs seem to have gotten over their tummy troubles.
