• Today will be a very busy day.

  No doubt today will be packed, As soon as the house awakes life will be breakneck speed. We leave for the Rodeo in 4 days. We just got the RV back yesterday afternoon late. There are still a million things wrong and a million more to switch as far as our load goes. Bob and I have a doctor's appointment this morning. I have to get Jasmine into the vet for a blood draw for the University of Cornell's Study. The others can wait a bit but with the news that her cancer has metastasized I have to get her info in now. I have to make contact with Elaine. That is a rough one.  I am accused of being on the phone or computer non stop,  maybe that is because I am trying to get discounts, donations and talk to the never ending puppy folk? Then I am fussed at because I have not spent hours talking to the lady who owns the crematorium. The 5-10 emails a week sent to check in on her and say HI don't count. I am to "chat". She is older and having a rough time of it. I get that. I happen to care about her a lot, but calling her when I am swamped is hard enough, add calling her because Jasmine's end is near and it is almost too hard ot get out of bed. The Greenes and Bushes only call when they have a dead dog, but that is okay, they are  busy people.... I do not get it. I guess I never will My calves feel like I have ran a marathon, not sure why. I did wear a pair of flat sandles that I haven't worn in a long bit. maybe that is the problem? Or mayby it is just another manifestation of the Fibromyalgia? Who knows... First up is fold the tent and repack it... then begin to pull the extras off the rv to reassure Bob I am not trying to enter a weight pulling contest.  Find all of my lists and begin marking off the to dos and already dids... I have to get the new kid's pool put up . I am stilll cleaning house. this place will not be clean until a fire of biblical proportions hits it and burns it to the slab.  My garden tub which comfortably fits 4 adults is filled beyond capacity with the kid's toys.  Right Bob you are "teaching " them to keep things clean ... they don't have anything so of course it looks like they are keeping things cleaner... I have to color my hair... when I started coloring my hair I was only 17 grey comes early in my family. Now I must color since I have little natural color left and Bob is apparently not keen on living with a white haired woman.... but heck I have 4 whole days... Bob must fuss at the Camping World which in my honest opinion has been a total joke. They broke the shower door on this last 3 +week trip into the shop... that is bad enough right??? But there is glass everywhere!! Last night I had breatherd a sigh of relief, at least it was home, Bob could go out and have his cacoon of silence and Jasmine and I could enjoy the tv shows I have recorded but can only watch sans kids and husband....he was out for 15 minutes then back in, the batteries have been so badly damaged the AC will not work. I want to really drive home the disgust, he wants me to be patient since he thinks this is the only way we will get the rig up and running.  Yeah that is going to happen.   Posted Jul 16 2008, 06:31 AM by Bonita of Bwana with no comments

• Early hours

  Sigh.... I have been up quietly typing for a few hours. The dawn hasn't even started to break . I have the tv turned ot a satelitte radio station since the Hubs can not sleep with it "on" and we need a night light of sorts to prevent him from falling over one of the dogs. It is a channel called AudioVisions , all music nothing with words that can sneak into your brain and play itself over and over. Last week I had that sone Lola by the Kinks stuck in my head! How irritating ... Yesterday I paid bill and picked up a few things for the Ridgeback Rodeo, Today I will pay more bills and get a dremel. I haven't a clue where mine vanished off to?  But I HAVE to work on dogs nails and continue working the puppy on basic obedience. He and the raptors are to try for their CGC at the Rodeo but if I can't get downs there is No point.  I also wanted to go for the ATTS. I do not remember them having to sit in that test. Nemo is sleeping between Bob and I every now and then he reaches out and pats me or taps the laptop to assure himself I know he is there. He was a tired puppy, Everyone liked him yesterday and even Kota and Jazz took turns playing with him. He is going t o be one HUGE dog! I do look forward to having the boys go home, since Kota's fight he is disagreeable with Zion and I would never want them to tangle !! But I miss the big pup. He has bonded hard with Bib due to the nights in the RV when the girls were in season. It's odd to have a dog who can't flop down and snore with me,  but he is so active and until Bob is in here he has trouble settling. I worry that I have not followed what works with the dogs because of half thought out theories.  All of the ubber positive training I read about would never fly with the RRs but I have been reluctant to do  the settle etc that I have ALWAYS used. so now I have wild kids that I may have to adjust.  sigh  it is too early to be worried today .
