Don't Blame Me. . . I Was Born Awesome

quote by happy bunny

on Sunday we took the dogs out for a morning run at the park while we rode bikes. on the way back from the park, we spied another garage sale! picked up a Jeep baby stroller for the kids as a gag-gift. we then got stuff organized for m&k and drove "over to the coast" as hubby refers to it. took Bravo & 'Lil Bit with us.

the kids were digging in the yard and k was pulling lots of big weeds. they had made a lot of progress. showed them the stroller & both of them laughed. later the realtor came by with house-warming gifts; then we went to the base to look at plants krl-n rode in the truck with us while matt took the white truck- instead of plants, we got a couple dog toys. then drove onto ashley furniture where the kids were supposed to be present for a drawing. i took the dogs for potty walk while everyone trooped inside. the kids didn't win the big drawing. so sad. matt's good luck has expired.

followed the kids to lowe's in the valley so the guys could pick up flashing & garage doors. k & i abandoned them to go walk the dogs again - it was massively hot and humid outside. re-parked the truck in the shade after we gave them lots of water. also shopped at kohl's as they were having a huge one-day sale. krl-n restrained herself quite admirably from purchasing all the things she wanted for the house. i purchased more $5 stuffed animals for the puppies.

went home afterwards. on the way we picked up wendy's cheeseburgers & saw BISON at a neighbor's house on Clagstone. what next? Bison, Camels, Zebras. . .?

Monday found us getting up too late for a bike ride in the morning. harriet was sad. i played with the dogs & picked up poo. also got more plants in the mail for the pond. downloaded lots of songs on the ipod. hubby worked late in the shop. we went for a ride with ALL the dogs at the park. it was hectic.

krl-n called early this morning so excited to let me know that she had gotten the travel job on base that she had applied for. this will be so good for her.

nothing much happened Tuesday. more of the same; poop patrol, water plants, play with dogs, biking, hubby's boots came that i ordered-but he didn't like the fit.

not knowing that it would start raining early Wednesday morning, i had failed to put the dog beds or the lawn furniture away. hope they don't rot. it will mean more washing & cleaning.

quickly dragged the cushions into the house as they weren't as badly soaked as i thought they would be.

jeff, the blind guy came over to clean my blinds. he is a retired k9 officer from losangeles. is there anybody in idaho that isn't a retired cop from calif? all the blinds in the house are now pretty & shiny. he was here from 11:30 until 2:30. while jeff cleaned blinds, i cleaned house. vacuumed. swiffered. dusted.

hubby came home at 3:00pm and installed the filter to the pond. it started raining violently. so hard that i thought it would come through the roof! lots of rain. sheets. isabelle dive-bombed to the basement until the thunder died down.

paid bills, ordered mats for the entryways.

at 7:00pm hubster came home for the night, we walked bravo & 'lil bit around the property as they were wild. it started raining violently again for over an hour.
