Who does that dog nose belong to?

Someone e-mailed me the other day and wanted to know what kind of dog I had.  I didn't realize it but it was pointed out to me that I have only posted pictures of my doggie nose on my blog.  I was shocked when I looked back and realized that was the truth.  I felt bad that my sweetie has never been posted in full on my blog.  So here she is in all her glory.  The most spoiled shar pei dog in these parts.    This is Chloe and she is the best dog.  A little high maintenance due to her breed but well worth it! :)

So much to learn about each other

I bet you didn't know . . .

I'M ON OVERLOAD!

Apparently I am supposed to be able to

• keep a perfectly clean house
• sew a new handcrafted purse
• make dinner
• balance the bank account and pay the bills
• take care of a fussy baby

and this should all be done every single day!  Oh and I am supposed to take care of said fussy baby the mama's way instead of the way I KNOW will work.  Additionally I should not interrupt the mother of the baby while she is eating one of her 3 well-balanced meals or during her 1.5 hour showers.  During all this I am supposed to drive the mother of the baby around while she fills out applications and interviews for a job.  Also I think during the driving around is when I am supposed to eat that quick snack I was hoping to get instead of breakfast or lunch.

ARGHH!!!  If I would have known all this I would have I would have given up before I even started!

Frustration is my middle name right now.  I really do want to have the baby and her mom here and I do think little mama should get a job.  But something is going to have to give.  Hopefully I can express this a little bit better tonight at our family meeting that I am calling.

Why on EARTH?

Why on earth do people steal others' financial information?  Oh I know why they do it.  I just wish people would stop doing that kind of stuff.  Jacy's mama got a letter in the mail today that her financial information had been sold.  Apparently she had an account somewhere that has all of her info.  Birthdate, address, debit card number, the whole shebang.  Well an employee there sold millions of customers' information.  Right now they know for sure that her info was sold to a marketing company but they are still investigating as to where else it may have been sold.

So . . . in addition to taking Jacy to the clinic for her PKU test and putting my car in the shop.  We also have to go and close her bank account and reopen a new one for her.  This is beyond inconvenient for us.  And I hope the person responsible for this mess gets in a heap of trouble and it takes them forever and ever to dig out!

Happy Birthday to my favorite bald guy!

Happy Birthday to my husband.  How could you not love a face as cute as this?  He is the nicest guy I have ever met in my life and one of my best friends. 

I hope forty-something treats him really well because he absolutely deserves it!
