New Year's Day 2010

Everyone is complaining about how horrible 2009 was. I agree that there were some negatives but I cannot complain. My oldest son married the love of his life and we couldn't be happier to have Brian in our family. It was the wedding of the decade! I have had my family together many times this year. I was able to go to Washington DC three times. I went to Arizona in August. I still have a job. Otto was hired full time by Producer's Choice. First full-time job in 15 years. Casey is healthy.. I have a beautiful home, decorated to the nines for the holidays and I am extremely thankful and fortunate to have what I have. Shall I go on? Yes, we have had our share of trials and tribulations believe me. Some days I hate my job. I get depressed because all of my children live out of state. But, 2009 was not as bad as we are being led to believe. Every year we have bad things happen. I wish that no one would ever have to lose a job, or their home or, or, or.....but we need to be grateful for what we have, share what we can and not complain so much! Happy New Year. Our gathering last night was small but fun! Thanks for sharing New Year's Eve with us! It is what it is!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
