Mindless Chatter - Saturday

Morning, all.  It's almost 10am here, and I'm really tired and kinda out of it.  All I want to do is sit on the computer and do nothing--but a toddler and an infant have other ideas.  Today is one of those days where I wonder 'When do I have a day off?'.

Ugh.

In fun doggie news, though, we got our crate yesterday!  A fantastic used one off of Craigslist, and exactly what I was looking for:  black powder coated, double door, collapsible, dividable--I got it for $30, and they're usually close to $100 online.  And it's almost brand new!  This getting a dog thing is starting to get more and more real.   I'm so excited!  He might be a bit of a 'Mother's day present' now, too, because we're going down the day before Mother's day.  The really impatient and excited part of me wants to go and play with the crate--that would be sort of weird, though, wouldn't it?

This getting a dog thing is starting to get more and more real.   I'm so excited!  He might be a bit of a 'Mother's day present' now, too, because we're going down the day before Mother's day.  The really impatient and excited part of me wants to go and play with the crate--that would be sort of weird, though, wouldn't it? 

What kind of dog are you getting? Is he a puppy? How exciting and I don't think playing with the crate is strange at all. I love new stuff like that, especially when it's a great deal. If the kids get too rambunctious......ummmm, never mind

I'm whipped today too. Worked 6 long days and now I have a ton of housework to do. I have the 2nd load of doggie bedding and stuff in the wash and have already cleaned both bathrooms, but I have the floors to do and just don't feel motivated.

It's going to be 80ish here today and tomorrow - yay!!

 Yawn! I am so tired.  I dont feel like doing anything.  I got lots of stuff done yesterday though and I'm scared to really take a break, cause I might not get back at it.  Maybe I'll just do the dishes and call it a day..lol.

I am taking on my closet and dresser today.  I am a third of the way done with the closet and there are already 3 bags worth of clothes to donate and so much more room.  I had to stop to get some lunch but I am heading back in there soon.  I have been wanting to get this done for ages and it has been years since the last time I really did it so I am so glad it is finally getting done. 

I am making hubby work on his this weekend as well.  We both have a ton of stuff we don't wear anymore and ARC is coming to our street this week so what better than to get rid of it!

 The Diabetes Association comes around here to pick up clothing and household donations.  Its nice because being in a small town, the Sally Ann is very very picky about what they take and don't take.  They have a small store here, so when you bring in a bag of old clothes they make you stand there while they go through it and pick what they want to keep.  Its absurd!  So...I don't donate there anymore.  Its not like I give them garbage.  The clothes and stuff are still perfectly good, just don't fit or something.  I keep stained stuff for dog bedding and such so thats not in there. 

Besides since the Diabetes Assoc, comes right to the house, its so much easier to pack up lots of stuff and just put it at the curb like you do on garbage day.

Whew what a day. My sister came up this morning. She called and said "I'm getting off at your exit" to which I answered "I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME BEFORE 10!" She says "it is 10 what planet are you on?" I answered "Bed Planet". I was still sleeping. Oops.  So, I had to rush and get myself presentable as well as do a super fast vacuum and clothes off the floor clean. 

We had a ton of stuff to do today. We had to finish shopping for the baby shower and get the invitations out. Did all that and then some and we just now got done. Talk about a long day of shopping and such.

Tomorrow, if it's not raining, I need to mow the back yard and do some other misc. yard work. Hopefully I can get to the garage and clean it up a bit.

I feel like I'm forgetting something though......I'm sure I'm going to have an OH SHEET moment tomorrow around 8pm or so when it comes to me. 

Ugh, I had just the grossest morning.  I took Willow to the park and we went into the woods a little ways so she'd do what she had to do because we were running late for her grooming appointment.  I saw this lump up ahead a bit and as we checked it out I realized it was a dog, a dead dog.  It was half in/half out of one of those dark trash bags.  So, I didn't look any further and we went back to the car.  I called animal control and they made me wait there so I could show them were it was. 

Anyway, that started the day off in really sad way.

It isn't like this is the first time I've ever heard of someone doing such a thing.  But, I just for the life of me cannot imagine what type of person you have to be to do something like that. 

Anyway, Willow finally made it to grooming.  The guy that always bathes her was waiting.  He makes me laugh, he scoops her up in his arms and carries her to the back.  She puts her ears down and deals.  If anyone tried that outside of there. . .it's just so odd how her behavior there is so different. 

I'm now spending Saturday night, dusting and vacuuming.  I need to get out more.  DH is working and won't be home until maybe 4am or so. 

Hope everyone has a great night.
