January...half-way through.

Home again with 2nd foot surgery. This one not as extensive as the Nov. 2011 surgery on the same foot. Only one toe lifted and screwed in and a bundle of nerves removed. Still have a cast. Day 4. Lovely purple and I took 3 days off work. Hard to rest but it is awkward and uncomfortable. So much Christmas to put away yet. I try to do a bit and then rest. Amanda flew back to AZ last Sunday, her last long break ended as she will graduate in May and plans are to stay in AZ, work and maybe move to CA by end of summer. It is What it Is, that's for sure. I may to always agree but it is not my life. Just hope it gets all sorted out and works for all of them. I trust them to figure it out. It's always exciting to start a new adventure but as parents you always would like the outcome to be positive and work out.
Snowy day again. Dark, cloudy again and light snow just like yesterday. Probably not going anywhere today or tomorrow or the next day. Need a few Target things but I hate the amigos. Otto can go to Meijer for me but not the rest. He hates shopping and I hate letting him! It's cold and winter has hit. So much for no winter. 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...
