Ok.. now onto life. I feel like we have been so busy but nothing comes to mind as to busy doing what.
Here is a funny story for you. The other day, I had to take baby to the vet to get her stitches out. It was me, holding Madelynn and baby (on a leash) in one arm, and Payton in a carseat on the other arm. Keep in mind that baby is a 60 lb dog who is full of muscle and stronger than an ox. And with all the new smells and bunches of new animals, it was a challenge to keep her by me and not trying to "play" with all the small dogs and cats. I had lots of people looking at me like I was a crazy lady. I just laughed about it. It was quite the sight see I tell ya. But as always, so many people are so nice to me and I always have someone to help me out! Its alot of work to get out without Nat.. but having help from sweet people makes my day! I had a lady push my basket out the other day full of groceries and Madeylnn while I pushed the stroller. Wish I woulda had her around while I was grocery shopping. :)
This is something that I really wasn't sure if I was gonna share. But, I feel like I should, mostly for my sake. My whole life I've been a writer. Just love to write. Thats how I express myself, I have always given people letters when I need to tell them something. Thats just how I roll. Anyways... so I feel like if I write this, It will help me get over it. Hmm... lets see if I can do this without bawling my eyes out. So far i've been pretty unsuccessful at that when the subject comes up. Baby, my dog that I just wrote about, and have written about several times, (not sure if I have shared this or not) but she is severely attached to me and is very jealous of anything that comes between her and I. I guess the other day her jealousy got to be to much and she bit Madelynn. We really weren't sure if it was real cuz we did not see it. Madelynn just came out from the side of the couch crying and holding her arm up to us. We both just looked at each other and said there is no way she just bit Madelynn. If you have ever been around this dog, you know that she is the sweetest, most caring, loving dog. So we were pretty much in denial. So we let Madelynn go back over by her while I watched. Sure enough, she did it again. Right in front of me. I immediately become a basket case cuz I knew whats coming. Nat and I have always agreed that if any of our dogs ever bit any of our children, they were gone. Nat took her up to the animal shelter and ended up bringing her back. He said he felt like we should give it another chance and he prayed over her... and if you know Nat, you probably think Im makin that up and are wondering why the dog is even alive... but its the truth. So we went the next day with her here and things didnt change. She didnt hurt Madelynn but just acted very shady and different. It was just to much for my brain to worry about and I knew what had to be done. So the next night, I had to go through all the emotions again as he took her out the door. So she is gone. I pray that she would find a good home with no children and that someone will love her as much as we did. She just needs to be with someone who can be hers and she can be theirs only.. with no children that will get in the way. It was hard. Probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. i've never lost someone I was close to, but this week I did. I would just ask ya'll to pray for Nat and I. Its been pretty hard for the both of us. Mostly me.
Ok. Now that I got all that out... Onto more happier things in life. Last night was the Taste of San Angelo. Ever been?? It was pretty neat. I had never been but Nat had to go represent Bug Express and they offered to pay for me a ticket to go to so why not?? So we left the girls with their nana and made a date of it. We walked around and ate and ate... and ate some more. It was fun. I enjoyed getting to taste all the different foods and desserts from around San Angelo.
Today, me and the girls are just hangin out at home. Haven't done that in a few days. I have been on this kick of making bows. I love it. Its so much fun. I could sit and do it all day long... and sometimes, I do (as much as my children allow me to.)
ok... so maybe I shouldn't go a few days without posting cuz when I do, it seems that I have way to many pictures and its way to long. oh well.
