ADMIRATION




I have a true admiration to those bloggers that blog on a daily or near daily basis. I know we all have lots to blog about, but sometimes can't find the time to. So I will try to catch things up by working in a backwards fashion. As much as I can before I take Joy to the vets at least.



So I am on vacation this week from work. I really needed a break. Not as productive as I'ld like to be, but not wasting the time either! Took Jonathan to the dentist this morning. Suppose to get his bottom 2 cavities taken care of (got the top 2 done last week). Didn't happen though. He was just too upset and the dentist will not push it as she does not want the kids to be traumatized. Good thinking! Nitrous (happy gas) seems to have the reverse effect on him. He just cries harder. So we rescheduled for next week and I will give him some benedryl before we go and skip the happy gas.








I had to get some fall/ winter clothes for the boys yesterday and grocery shopping. Crazy thing is we go once a month to Gulfport (hour away) to the commisary and it's worth the trip. I'm still excited I bought 40 pounds of chicken for $12!!!! I hit the clearance & sale sections at the outlet stores. Was able to get a pair of jeans at the Nautica store for Tony for $15!!! I refuse to pay for a name. Don't mind paying for quality, but not a name.








Okay, I'm back. Didn't even know I was gone, did you? My mom called and then it was time to take Joy to the vet. We got bad about taking her for a while. We had 2 dogs and just couldn't afford for both. Found a good home for the other one (he was constantly marking his territory in the house!) So back on track with my baby girl. We've had her for almost 5 years.








Monday I spent 4 1/2 hours cleaning our LR carpet. Let me tell you, we invested in an Oreck Oribiter 2 years ago and I am soooooo glad. I use to spend 6 hours on my hands & knees scrubbing the same carpet. It is sooooo much easier with the Orbiter. Normally wouldn't have taken so long, but with the boys & dog, there were a lot of stains. Plus I use it to clean my wood & tiled floors!








Sunday, we took the boys & Joy to the beach. Was so much fun!












We had a fabulous time. DH & I actually were able to relax. The kids and Joy played hard. Definitely need to do this more often.
Okay, have to go get little guy from school! Bye!
