Stinks! It was so much more fun being married and not having to work! I mean, Scott is off for 4 days a week sometimes and we could pick up and go. Beyond that, we actually got to see each other! Now, we will go 4 days without seeign each other, except the drowsy "hi" at 3 am when he comes home or 7 am when I am leaving. It stinks. I remind myself daily that this job was such a provision and blessing.
So he is actually in Spokane for a DEA sponsored training on searching and seizing vehicles. He is having fun, doing awesome (of course) and getting free goodies! Hunter and I....could be getting along better. Let's see, where do I start with our week adventures? Let's start with yesterday morning about 6:30 a.m. Mom (that's me) has to to leave to go to her 2nd OB appointment. Hunter and I play, he goes potty then right into his kennel (for those who haven't seen it, it is 18x18 covered. It's pretty sweet!) So I put an extra dog bed in there for him, give him a treat and say goodbye. OB appt goes well, I heard baby's HB, it was sooo cool but I sure missed having Scott there. Got my flu shot. Told Dr my concerns over the Swine Flu shot (umm...it's new, who know what affect it will have on baby.) He discusses it with me and asks me to consider it for next time. All the flu vaccines they use are thimerosol free (not that there is any proof it leads to autism, but the lesser the better in general.) So then I head to school, call Sarah to ask how Hunter is. He is whining but is okay. About noon she gets home and lets him out. Then animal control shows up in the neighborhood for the neighbor and just to be safe, Sarah gets Hunter and takes him to her house. He has fun with her kids and Cole until Mom gets home. Hunter spends the night licking his paw, Mom looks and THERE'S BLOOD! He is so active that his nails stay super short, he seemed to have irritated one and it was bleeding. Thankfully, Scott has the powder to stop the blood and all is well again. He settles in for his nap and I settle into getting work done and deciding which photo I will use for my thank you cards. Later, we go outside and I notice that someone (HUNTER!) was trying to break out of his kennel and about did! AHHH!!! What am I going to do? He just is sooo attached to Scott and they are so much more than partners. He goes nuts when he is gone. He loves his kennel! So...after talking with Scott it is decided he will come to school with me today. He is much happier being with his people and I have enough flexibilty that I can' let him out every few hours. This morning, he wouldn't have let me leave without him anyway! So lunch time comes I heat my cheddar broc soup and head to the car to eat with him. Ruth, my partner SPED teacher, wants to come along. So Hunter does his business and I am settling in the front seat to eat and WHAM! Ruth puts my soup on the dashboard which is not flat and next thing you know I am drenched in soup, my durango is drenched in soup! We get it cleaned up but it is obvious I must drive the 16 miles home to change and then get back in an hour so I am ready for my small group pull-outs. We made it! Hunter loved coming to school today and is much happier tonight. Now he is begging me to take him outside to play!
Tomorrow, my neighbor Sarah, is throwing me a Pampered Chef belated bridal shower! Just the neighbors and a few other officer's wives I invited. Should be fun! I am excited to have a girls night! I miss my girl time! Okay, okay, Hunter is seriously whining! I better go!
Love this!
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
