Big fat lie!

I haven't written anything because I didn't have anything new to say. Nothing exciting has happened except for the normal stuff. You know, dealing with kids who constantly do things they aren't supposed to and then lie about it.

It's funny, you know because most of the time, I know exactly "who done it" and yet they persist in their lies!!! It is infuriating! The new punishment is an automatic 100 line writing assignment for lying.

I keep telling the kids that it's better to get in a little trouble for what they did wrong than a lot of trouble for lying about it! We'll see. It's a constant, everyday battle and the 13 yr old is just as bad if not worse than the 4 yr old!! ARGGGG! Thank heavens for Warcraft!

New Babies!!

Due to considerable requests, I finally took pictures of my new pups. They are adorable and squeaky loud in the middle of the night. Their mother never leaves them either. In fact, half the time I have to pick her up and carry her out to go potty. She just doesn't want to abandon them. Or she doesn't trust us! It couldn't be that!

So here they are...Larry, mo, curly, and Doreen! Actually, I don't know what to name them. I don't plan on keeping them. Well, maybe the little girl. I'm a sucker after all.

The little brown one is the only girl. There are three boys. I had thought there were only 2 but I was wrong. So, there are 2 black, one dark brown and the little girl who is a normal brown. All little Border Collies! At least that is what they look like to me. The Shi Tzus mother and Australian Shepard father made cute babies though.

Cute! Cute! Cute!

Dang!!!

Don't you hate it when you get the feeling you should do something, you ignore the feeling only to be taught a lesson in disobedience! Oh ya, I love that!

This morning, I decided it was time to get rid of the mountain of gray hair adorning the top of my head. I have these cute rugs on my bathroom floor and as I started, I thought, I should move these.. But then, I wasn't planning on dripping on the floor. After all, I have been doing this for years now.

What do you think happened? Yep, you're right. And not just one drip, but 5!!!! As I squeezed the bottle, a stream went flying over my head! Don't ask. All I can think is, when it rains, it pours!!!

Lesson learned! Next time, I will follow that still, small voice that I frequently ignore. I mean, what does he know anyway?

Or I could pay buckoos and have someone else do the dying. (By the way, this is not a picture of me!)

Yea for shopping.

There is something very therapeutic about shopping. I don't know many women who feel differently. For me, It makes me feel happy if I'm having a bad day. I don't know why.

I'm lucky though, that I don't have a "problem" with shopping. It's the thing that saves me! I frequently go through my clothes and throw things out. Clothes that are too small, too big, or that I haven't worn in ages.

It gets to the point where I open my closet and don't have much to choose from to wear. So, today, I went to my friendly neighborhood Walmart and bought a few new things. I don't spend tons, because I don't shop at Dillards, and I don't always look fancy, but I do have good taste.

I only had 2 pair of pants that fit, so I bought 3 more today. What a difference a few new outfits make. I love the new "Signature" Levis they sell now. Anyway, I am wearing a new, darling outfit, that fits! The secret to Walmart is, don't dry it in the dryer!

You do get what you pay for after all.

New Babies!!

I haven't taken pictures yet but we had puppies last night! There were five born but one was born dead. At least I think it was. I finally fell asleep. She had them during the night.

They are absolutely adorable! Two little girls and two little boys. 2 brown and 2 black.

Even though she is a pure bred Shi Tzus, she mated with a pure bred Australian Shepherd. I don't' know how they did it but the pups look like little Border Collies! SO cute. I'm tempted to keep one. They were born the right size for her to deliver but who knows how big they'll get.

Cookie did so good. She must have been exhausted by the time she was done. She looks a mess today but I'll give her a couple days before I bathe her. She never leaves them and is such a good mommy. I'm proud of her.

Well, that's it. Off for now!
