Why are decisions so hard?

I went outside to feed the dogs yesterday and I noticed that Katie's dog (Rosie) was yelping when the other day just barely touched her. These dogs are around 8 or 9 years old.

Not too long ago Rosie was acting funny, so Charles took her to the vet and she had heartworms (it's a LONGGGGGG story)...the vet treated her and she seem to have gotten better, but now she's back (to me)where she was before and I just don't have the money if the treatment isn't 100% guaranteed.

The hard decision part comes in here...if Rosie continues to get worse, should I have her put down and then if I decide to....do I tell Katie and ask if she wants to go with me or do I act like she just died one weekend while Katie is at her daddys?

I just don't know what to do....I feel like I would be lying to the child (well DUH), but I don't want her to be crying her eyes out.

Big sigh

Teenage Boys...and clothes washing.....

Poor Cody decided the other night that he "NEEDED" to wash clothes. Here's a little side note...the boy HAS jeans, but for some reason he likes only ONE pair. So he decides he needs to wash his jeans...LOL.

He puts the dark colored clothes in the washer and then goes...what do I do now? So I got up off the couch and walked him thru the process...NEVER knowing or even thinking about the drying process...LOL.

After the clothes were washed (I was fast asleep by this time), he put the clothes in the dryer. The next day I came home from work and he had folded the clothes...yep, my bras and panties were in that pile of folded clothes.

Well at that moment I thought to myself...WELLLLLLLLLLLL....you will never get back into THOSE again. I walked into his room and sat on the bed and said....Cody honey?....can I tell you one little thing about drying clothes? He cut his eyes to me and said...ummmm...you'll never fit into those again? I looked at him and just laughed and said....you got it....I went on to say...do NOT EVER dry a females bra and panties...it's just an unwritten law. He looked at me and grinned innocently and said....yes ma'am.

I tell ya what...I love that boy...which is a good thing, or I would make him wear my panties so he could see how it feels...LOL

NAS Oceana Airshow 2007

I went with a couple of friends to Virginia Beach over the weekend and we went to the NAS Oceana Airshow. Cindy had gotten us tickets to sit in the executive chalet. But on the way there while in the parking lot there was a car to our right and Cindy says....I don't care if it's Rudy...don't let him in and Mike...well he let him in...and we all went...OMGosh IT IS RUDY!!!! (from Survivor)...LOL


After we parked and got thru the gate, we were walking to the chalet and this NAVY guy driving a golf car limo stopped in front of us and asked if we would like a ride....we looked at each other and said...SURE! Then we looked at him and said...why us? He said it was his job, and I burst out to laughing and said...what's your job, getting the old people from out of infront of the gate? He started to laugh, and said...nah, just to drive around and give people rides. We were like how cool is this? And if you read Sin's blog she'll do a better job at this then I will...LOL.


But we got there and the show was wonderful...plus the fact we were UPCLOSE too. She, Mike and I got challenge coins from the group of guys that actual fly the F22 Raptor.


We left the airshow, went back to the hotel, got our chairs and Cindy and I walked down to 31st Street Park and listened to the NAVY band playing (Mike had finally joined us)...and after the band finished, you heard whistles blowing and I looked up and said to Cindy....ummm...here come the Blue Angels...and they (the pilots and all the crew) walked into the park and right in front of us



They stayed in the park for a little meet and greet.

I know I had a great time and I would like to thank both Cindy and Mike for letting me tag along. And WOW...I didn't notice that the date was THAT far off on my camera.

Redneck High Dive....Labor Day

I had told the kids that I would taking the pool down soon, so they decided to play in it today. With the ladder...aka....Redneck High Dive...LOL. I was scared to death that they were going to get hurt. And thank goodness they didn't.

Car insurance....

It's a racket...it's gotta be. Got the bill for the 6 month premium. Uh huh with Cody on the insurance now well can you say...I need to take out another mortgage?

I gave his father the bill with the amount circled in PURPLE marker and I had written under it, how much he owned. He looked at me and goes...what's this? (now I'm thinking DUH, you can't read?) I said it's the car insurance...you know 6 months? He goes ALREADY?!?! I went...well yeah. He takes it and looks at it and then says to me....well I'll have to take this home and look it over and I'll let you know.

Okay...I might not be the smartest person on the planet, but I'm NOT as dumb as a box of rocks....he'll let me know what? The temperature for tomorrow...the winning lottery numbers...why he's such a butthole?

I paid the insurance and now it's a wait and see situation...but if he doesn't pay his 1/2 I do believe I'm going to tell Cody about it.

Wal-Mart Giftcards......

It doesn't take much...okay it might with Katie.....LOL. But Charles had a gift card to Wal-Mart for about $30 some dollars. And I honest to goodness don't know many men what would take a 13 yr old shopping....LOL. He took her to Kohl's 1st and they waited on MY phone call to say if I had or had NOT won the bid on Ebay to get the TI84Plus (or something like that) calculator. And I called to say...nope with 7 secs left I did NOT win it. So off to Wally World they went....and with a $30 some dollar gift card...I think Charles thinks they will use it for it...but Miss Katie has OTHER things in mind....like a cute little jean jacket and pants that she saw (and when I say little I mean newborn to 6 mos). She saw it the other day and wanted me to buy it for Charles grandson, but I didn't. So now she's going to use Charles' gift card to get it. Which is funny, because she told me before hand that she wanted to use the card for that purpose. I do believe that Charles will be shocked and pleased.

The minds of little ones....lawd love them.

Boys at play...LOL

Cody and a friend of his Dylan were bored the other day. So Cody took his go-cart over to Dylan's and they decided to see just how muddy they could get. Cody took Katie along for the ride and she's the one that did the video taping. And let me tell you, I think his jeans and shirt had to be washed 3 times before anything came off. As for his hat, he's so proud of the new "orange" hat that he has...LOL.
