A pitcher of margaritas.

Walking the dogs.

Reading piles of magazines in our deck chairs.

Another nappy.

A movie with my sweetheart.

Takeout from Chipotle.

Walking the dogs.

Then another nappy.

A pitcher of margaritas.

Or two.

Trying to walk the dogs.

The dogs walk themselves.

Nappy.

Margarita.

Or two.

Where are the dogs anyway?

Doing much better this afternoon

See? She's okay. Just a bit groggy. And sneezy. She just sleeps all day in her little cubby hole.


Poor thing. All doped up on Benadryl so that her throat can heal without her coughing and irritating it even more. Can I have some too, Minnie Mouse?

Minnie had a bad day

My poor little Minnie Mouse

The only reason I took this pic is because at this point she was coming out of anethesia and "swimming" with her legs, making funny squeaking noises, acting drunk off her butt and look at her tongue! It got pretty crazy. At this point in the day she was okay. I was more worried about Johnny passing out. He lost all color to his face. He's not one for hospitals....that's putting it mildly.


To make a long story short, Minnie Mouse (who my sister calls "Farah" because of her winged, big, girly, crazy hair) was outside with me. While I chatted with a neighbor she started chewing on grass (and we are thinking some bark) and all of sudden started choking.

A long blade of grass was still stuck down her throat so naturally I pulled it out ~ which the Dr. said made "cuts" in her throat because edges of grass are sharp like knives.

So her throat swelled up and she couldn't breathe. Along with who knows what she was choking on, everything compounded and thank God there are emergency vets. And than God there are American Express cards. 

But that was our day. That little Minnie. She had me up from 1-4 am, needing meds and now she is sneezing continuously. I guess she's trying to get something out. If a piece of bark flies out of Farrah's nose, I'll let you know. I'm kinda hoping it will....

......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Josh came home last night. He was supposed to be gone for 2 days, but he and his Army recruiter have to go handle some of Josh's "business" today so that HOPEFULLY on Tuesday we can do this routine all over again. Because I'm not crazy enough. I'm not anxious enough. I'm not GRAY enough.

Thank you American Express cards. Thank you hair dye.

I'm not going to carry on and on about what's going on in our family today.

Photobucket

But it concerns this young man.

Photobucket

My heart and my soul.

Photobucket

The boy I love most in the entire world. The boy with Edward Cullen hair.

Photobucket

He's leaving today for 2 days. But not without his gallon of water & a cooler full of healthy snacks!
 
Did this child get switched at birth??

Photobucket

Hee-hee.

Photobucket

Josh doesn't give up. I love that about him!
 
Go Josh, GO!
 
I can't wait to shout the news out to everyone.

Photobucket

But not today. Friday, I promise...fingers crossed. I don't want to jump the gun.
 
Again....
 
We've had a stressful week and when Josh finally got on the road today I freaked.
 
Five minutes, that's all. A tiny freakout session now and then is good for the soul.
 
As long as you have your sister on the phone with you....
 
An hour later I got a text message that simply read, "love you mom"
 
That put everything in its place.
 
It made everything worth it.

Photobucket

I'll be at home for 2 days wringing my hands & waiting for his return.
 
Alright...and drinking a few pitchers of margaritas with Johnny, but whatever.
 
I'm {{{praying}}} that everything works out in Josh's favor ~ for once.
 
We deserve some good news around here dontcha think?!?
 
So last night I said, "Joshie! Show me your war face!
C'mon, show me your WAR FACE!" (from one of his favorite movies)

Photobucket

GGGgggggrrrrrrrr!
 
I'm ticked that the pic is out of focus.
 
It's due to the fact that I was laughing so hard, so I guess that's ok.
 
I'm in love with this kid, he makes me laugh.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  This is the reason I do everything ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I'll fill you in on Friday. Keep Josh in your prayers, please.
