Sunday morning...August already!

Ok, we are already a week into August. I am getting flipped out just thinking about the summer winding down. I am not ready for Amanda to go back to Arizona. Summer time goes so fast with her here. We never get to spend enough time together. I have to respect her decision to go to ASU but I don't have to like it. I know she loves being at school (well-sort-of) and her independence but I also know she wishes she could come home a little more often. How hard to get on a plane and not see your home until the pool is closed and all the leaves are gone off the trees and flowers are dead. Ok enough. I need to enjoy this week and then look forward to the visit I am planning in October. This is the first time in quite a few years I have not gone to AZ in August. She does not need me to "take her back" and move her anywhere! She will unpack her suitcase and be ready to hit the books for year 3. Glad she got to have her Mustang this summer and her new iPhone 4 and a job most of the summer. I will miss her horribly, especially at first. I have plenty around here to do and Matt is suppose to be home next weekend, so that will help. I have several lunches planned, some stuff here and a Sept. wedding to go to. Also trying to plan a trip to DC in the fall again. Even if it is just a Thur. -Mon. thing. I think we drove back on Sunday last time. And blink, blink, it will be Thanksgiving. It is what it is and it is not always the "is" that I want it to be! Off to enjoy the day!

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...
