This & That

my sister has a pomeranian called linus. linus is a stubborn, stubborn dog. she hates going to bed more than anything in the world, she needs to be physically dragged into her cage every night.

while i was here she defiantly curled up in the middle of the yard, hid inside murphy’s outdoor pen and scooted her fat body under the desk drawers.

we didn’t realize until after we got linny back that they gave her a brazillian waxing on her privates. it’s not a good look for her.

yesterday we went to the mall, then ate at an irish pub. there was a surprise party of sorts happening up stairs, and an irish christening party happening on the other side of the restaurant from us. the women were dressed up like they were going clubbing at a transvestite club. their husbands were all seated at the bar. the older children ran around the bar screeching and yelling like maniacs. i seriously didn’t notice that the kids were running around until a dining patron seated near the bar made a big scene. it was pretty funny how pissed off he was getting. :)

audrey was in rare form all day yesterday. at lunch she dumped about half a pint glass of water down her shirt, be sure to notice in the picture. it was a long day.

today i am taking linheimer for her haircut. i swear to god she is the dumbest dog ever. the dogs were let out last night before bed to go to the bathroom. they all came right back in, except linny. she was in the middle of the yard, staring dumbly at me, then she laid down and curled up in a ball. so i left her while i watched more of my shows. the last time i went out to get her she migrated into murphy’s cage and was curled up in the corner. i don’t know why she is so opposed to her cage. ugh. she makes me so mad. i have a feeling i am going to need to venture into the yard to fetch her for her haircut today.

11:00am – back from the groomer and the Giant.. boo boo does not want to nap. :( maybe he just needs his diaper changed. he shouldn’t be hungry.. he just ate at 8:45….

11:46am – he did need his diaper changed and more food… and that swing is a godsend!

12:08pm – omg, i am so lucky.. EBH just came home for lunch and picked him out of his swing and he had a poopy diaper.. she said it’s at least an 8 wipey poop. oooh, life is good…

2:12pm – i just picked up linny from the groomer. holy shit. i had to look at her real close to make sure i didn’t get the wrong dog. i’m still not 100% sure…

i really should have known better than to drink beer yesterday. i had a green 22ozer at the mex restaurant, then i followed it with a bottle of guinness at home. i was up half the night coughing and burping. :(

green beers

i’m sleeping on a twin bed, which is fine.. i actually LOVE the mattress. it’s relatively new in terms of use, so it’s awesomely firm. but the t-shirt sheets on it stretch like tshirt sheets do.. so sleeping under the top sheet is like trying to cover up with a scarf. that just added to the frustration.

i’m not sure what kind of adventures i can have today. i don’t have any outings planned. tomorrow though, linus has a hair appointment. i heard ryan telling her that when she gets her haircut tomorrow there’ll be no more hiding the fact that she needs to lose some weight. lol.

3 days down, 2 to go, no whammies poopy diapers!

6:36am – EBH just told me ethan just ate so I can sleep in. What are the chances I’ll actually be able to do that?

9:47am – yeah. wasn’t able to go back to sleep. but ‘lil E has had his bottle and i’m crossing my fingers he’ll take another nap now. laundry is currently being laundered.

10:48am – shark baby is just laying there with his eyes open… maybe he’d fall asleep if i held him.

2:38pm – laundry is almost done. i should start the casserole, so i can just pop it in at 415. i’ve been watching celebrity rehab all morning. i have to keep rewinding it. :(

even though today is st patricks day, i feel like my luck is about to run out. I’ve successfully been able to avoid any diaper bombs so far, but he didn’t go number 2 yesterday, which makes him ripe for me today. :( maybe it will be at lunch time and his mommy can change it.

ethan’s been pretty cranky and we can only deduce that he must be suffering from the thrush. :( poor boo boo. EBH is asking for a different medication so hopefully that takes care of it.

i’m getting progressively more tired as the week goes on. i did manage to sleep in till 7 this morning though.

we are going to the mexican restaurant for dinner tonight. i am kind of excited. i don’t think they have guinness though.

2:52pm – i need to take a nap. boo boo ate 4+oz at lunch, so i hope he will sleep till 430. :) maybe i will sleep till he wakes up.

4:32pm – i just walked all three dogs and pushed the baby in the stroller. someone walking by said, “you must be a very busy person”. i am indeed. :) think that was an insult? i was pretty proud of that accomplishment. granted i must have rammed the stroller into murphy a dozen or so times, and that a-hole linny wanted to walk behind meat all times so i looked like a tangled up mess. *sigh* i think it’s time to crack a guinness.

wash. rinse. repeat.

part of the reason i detailed my time yesterday was so that i can use it as a gauge as to what to expect the rest of the week. and partly because ethan can’t talk yet.. so conversing with my blog at least solicits the occasional response.

i’m tired this morning.. and i went to bed with the rest of the family at 930-ish. granted, i didn’t fall asleep till about 10:30.. but still.

i am not letting the dogs outside today unless we go on a walk.

ethan and my big activity will be going to the grocery store… i am going to attempt to make a red sauce stir fry type meal to be eaten over pasta.

i think this time is the best part of the day.. boo boo should sleep till maybe 9. :) woo who.

expect more updates to this entry throughout the day.

8:58am – no signs of waking up.. i might just get to watch a whole episode of Frank the Entertainer. :)

9:11am – he woke up… and ate 3oz. now we are getting ready to go to the grocery store. woot.

10:38am – back from the store.. you’d think i’d be able to find the Giant.. no, i got lost. good thing Boo Boo likes the car.

12:35pm – ethan is being a mr crankypants. i hope he will take a little nap in the swing.

2:51pm – he slept till 2ish, then ate 2.5oz of BM and 1oz of formula. now hes sleeping on my shoulder. i’m afraid to lay him down since hes been such a crybaby today. but i’ve got to start cleaning off the mud monsters in the backyard.

a crybaby in sheeps clothing.

6:44pm – dinner has been eaten, dogs have been walked, now it’s time for some wine and american idol.
