Last Day!

Well today is officially my last day of work! I have to work about 3.5 hours helping teachers pack up and move things to store for the summer. I am so excited. No actual plans as to what I will do with all my time. I know I will be out in the yard working a lot this summer and I hope to buy a little wading pool for the girls to play in. Z.J. just loves the water. Sassy however is terrified of it. But I think I can manage to get her in a small pool like that. I think I am going to take just one class next semester and maybe work on getting my teaching license, but we'll see. I can only do one class at a time because that is about all we can afford. So even though I only have four classes left, it will take me a while. Once Z.J. gets into school I may just substitute for a while until I come across a job here in town. I don't really want to have to travel far for my job, but that remains to be seen. Anyway, not a lot of time this morning, so I will head to work now....

Mother's Day

Well Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers reading right now. Such a yucky day for such a happy day. It is now 6:20 and I have already been outside in the pouring rain. That would be because of the gift my husband got for me for Mother's Day. Yes we officially now have a new addition to our family! He got me a big dog, well she is a puppy now, but she will be big. She is part lab, part rotweiler. She is adorable and her name is Zayna. I wanted a dog for the backyard when we get it fenced in this summer. Zayna is about 6 weeks old. I came home Friday night and Caleb had beaten me home. Well I was outside talking with the neighbor when he came out and then here comes this shy little puppy following him. He said it was a free puppy but then we had to go to Walmart and spend $150 dollars on all the stuff we needed for her! Then we gotta take her to the vet and get her shots and stuff. So much for free. But that's ok. She has been pretty good so far. The first night only a couple accidents, then only one yesterday. She wines for about 15 min. at night when she gets put in her cage. But then she sleeps, just like a little kid. But she is up at 6 a.m. sharp, ready to go potty. Pebbles is not too sure what to think of her, she just growls at her and slobbers all over the place. Zayna just wants to play with her though. Z.J. only likes the puppy when she's sleeping cuz otherwise Zayna jumps up on her. Sassy is stuck to the puppy like glue, she's such a mother hen! Anyway, I guess I'll go make some breakfast. Hey whatever happened to moms getting breakfast in bed and not having to do their normal chores on Mother's Day?

New Fixings

So construction has begun on the basement now. We are building a room downstairs for Jade. We just finished the closet. If my camera were working I would be glad to put pictures up of how handy my husband actually is. But the camera does not work when it doesn't feel like it. Anyway, Zoey has graduated to a big girl bed. Tonight will be the first night she actually gets to sleep in it. I'm hoping that it will all go well and maybe this will help her to sleep all night. She hasn't been sleeping the last few weeks and Caleb says, " I wonder why all of a sudden she isn't sleeping". I just laughed and reminded him that the child has not slept since she was born. Soccer is now over for Sassy. Today was the last game and she scored a goal. She actually has some pretty decent skills for a five year old. She got a medal from the coach and is pretty proud today. I don't really have much else right now, just hadn't written in a while, so I thought I'd give a few lines.
