And the award goes too……

The ramblings of a crazy mom awarded me with this lovely award today :)

The rules of the “One Lovely Blog Award” are:
Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
I could not pick 15, partly because I think most of my blog buddies have this award, but I think you deserve to get it twice so everyone who reads my blog or I read theirs grab your award ☺

I need a nap

Is it sad that this

is all I want to do all day ??  I have been so tired lately and all I want to do is lay around and do absolutely nothing not to mention the thought of school starting back in less than a month makes me feel like this lady

 

a little anxious and like I want to pull my hair out. 

Shouldn’t my child feel this way and not me.  I detest waking up early for school days, why can’t they start at like 10 a.m., I mean is that asking too much?  They need to think about us, ya know the SAHM’s who want to sleep in and would not mind for the school hours to be 10-4 then we could watch GH without interruptions… not that I would be home to watch it since i volunteer at the school most days, still I would like the 10 a.m. start time.

This is also the first year my son has to take FCAT and I am not looking forward to it….what was wrong with the good ole SAT’s every couple years??  I really detest this test and my son has not even taken it yet.

Don’t get me started on school shopping.  My son has outgrown almost all of his clothes, I made him try on everything in his closet and dresser over the weekend.  We ended up with 2 pairs of pants and 10 shirts that may or may not fit once school starts when we were done. Thank goodness I had just bought him some shorts and a couple t-shirts. Lets hope he does not have a growth spurt in the next 30 days.. That still means I have to hit the store once it starts getting chilly, he has no winter clothes.  I am not sure about the school supply list, when he came home the last day of school he had a bag full of stuff he never opened so hopefully I will only have to buy some stuff here and there for that.

I am starting to see why a lot of ya’ll home school.  No early mornings, the kids and you can wear your pj’s all day if you want (ie: no school shopping) and no FCAT.

Oh wouldn’t that be the life, if I had enough patience I might give it a go. 

**Glad I got all that off my chest….ahh I feel better**

Ouchie

Ginger got stung by something yesterday and came hauling butt squealing like a pig the whole way from the back of our yard.  At first I checked her body over, because usually with her poor vision she will step on a wasp on accident, but I could not find a stinger so I put her down and she seemed fine.  Then about 5 minutes later while I was on the phone with my sister-n-law I noticed this and about freaked out. 

Since this is her only eye I get very nervous if anything happens to it … she occasionally runs into trees going full speed due to her vision and I have major freak outs about that as well.. I called the Emergency Vet and they told me to give her children’s benadryl and just wait and see.  I also tried to put a cool rag on it, but she was having no part of that.

At first she was following me everywhere, but once the meds kicked in she was a little sleepy and decided it was time for a siesta.

By 9 or so it had gone down quite a bit, but was still puffy and really swollen under the lower lid which made me nervous. Hubs of course said she would be fine.

 

Hubs gave her more meds at 11 and this morning it looks to be fine, still a touch puffy, but not like yesterday.  Due to the swelling yesterday I could not see where she had been stung, but today I can see it was on her lower eye lid, so you know that had to hurt.

I am so glad all she needed was benadryl and some rest, those vet bills for her eye can be a bit pricey…but for Ginger I would do anything☺.

(Her eye is always cloudy from her accident …It's all about the Dog.....)
