I have not been blogging or texting any lately because of a Stye in my right eye. It is very painful and I can hardly see out of that eye.
Monday was finally a beautiful day outside. No rain. Lots of sunshine.
However, when I arose this morning, it was storming. More depressing clouds & wet.

Tuesday And Falling Cupcakes
Since I had not made cupcakes for the guys in a LONG time, made preparations to start cupcakes. Obviously the wonderfully warm weather was not cooperating as they fell in the middle! Stupid things.
I vacuumed the house & did laundry. Another boring day.
Hubby said we were going to walk tonight with the dogs, but forgot to bring home the Dodge truck as this week he is on-call & driving the company work vehicle.

Mother's Day Cleaning
I REALLY need a break. I want to have a few weekends alone with the hubby. The kids are nice, but I need time away from them. LOL.
Cleaned the house again today so that the kids could come over for Mother's Day.

Cold Again Today
On Wednesday, May 4...it was a beautiful day. I believe it got up in the high 50s and the sun was shining most of the day.
Hubby had taken the Dually into work so that he could pick up a truck and I had full advantage of the Dodge. Bud & Bit went with me to get drinks at the latte stand. Deralee was very busy and had 5 cars in line. No talk time. The Dodge was full of dog hair again from Isabelle, so I detailed it...again! Vacuumed, washed windows, and cleaned with Clorox wipes. It smells fresh again because I left the windows open all day. No more wet dog smell!
I also washed dog beds & cleaned the house. Cleaned out the refrigerator, vacuumed the house, and Swiffered. Floors were clean for two seconds...until the dogs got in again. But it smells much better. Just need somebody to come clean my windows.
Thursday, Cinco de Mayo is cold. About 45 degrees out right now with clouds overhead. Dreary. Not much left to do as everything has been done.
Could go out and pick up pinecones, but I think I will leave that to Austin.

Happy Dogs For Happy People
On Monday, I vacuumed & cleaned the FMF just before the rain started again.
Matt had texted us last night that they had finally gotten Osama Bin Laden. So it was all over the internet news & television news all day.
It seems that it took 9 years & 9 months too long to get this bastard.
To me, I was happy that he was dead because he caused so much heartache for so many people. And he will probably rot in hell. But his dead does not indicate that the Iraq/Afghanistan War is over. Far from it. And gas prices are not falling yet.
Hubby had to work late because of High Speed Internet connection problems. He came home around 9PM. Dogs were sad having to wait for daddy to get home.

Great Birthday Weekend
Today was hubby's b-day! I woke him up with a candle in the cupcake and sang happy birthday to him. It is our family tradition.
I cleaned & vacuumed the whole house. Then swiffered the floors. The house was Clean. Clean. Clean. (for a short while) Then it rained in the afternoon on Friday. Kids came late. They had to stop & do a few errands for me as the helium birthday balloon I got at the grocery store the other day deflated. Sweet kids picked up a whole bunch of balloons! They also brought dog cookies.
There was fresh made cheeseburger macaroni on the stove & homemade crescent rolls. The house smelled delish!
M&K unpacked all their stuff while Beebo tore through the house playing with his friends. I finally had to walk down to the shop & get hubby to come home as he was piddling down there talking again. Ate dinner - famished! Celebrated hubby's birthday. He got some sweet presents from the kids - M went nuts setting up a great off road bag for the Roc Bronc. I had already given him a BBQ set in a case, a set of Thermacare Heat Wraps, & an Auto Detail Kit (for me to use).
Then went to bed for an early wake-up call for the NAPA 4x4 & Off Road Event on Saturday morning.
The guys got up early at 6am. Got vehicles loaded & took off. K&I got ready with the dogs & went to the NAPA Event. Everybody was unloading. Briefly saw Bonnie Graham & Cindy Holman. Then handed the FLIP video cam off to Austin to take video for the day.
KRN and I then went shopping to pick up her supplies for Red, White & Brew. We decided to shop at Old Navy as KRN wanted LOTS of cheap tops. Drove over there on the interstate. When we waiting at a light near Best Buy, a woman opened her truck door & threw up orange vomit! It was disgusting. We were in shock! Both of us suddenly started laughing hysterically! It was bad. We parked in the mall lot to pee, KRN visited a store in the mall. Then on to Old Navy. Walked Bud after shopping a little at Old Navy. There was a circus at the mall & they had two huge red&white striped tents set up.
On the way back to CDA, we stopped at latte stand to get our favorite jet tea strawberry/pina colada. Then on to Costco gasoline, supplies at Costco, multi dog leash at Petco and our final stop at Wal-Mart for bath salts.
Stopped to see if the guys were OK in Rathdrum and they had just finished when we pulled in at 3pm.
Met the guys at home, then unloaded stuff. Everybody got changed for birthday dinner in town. However, when we took the MegaMatt into town Olive Garden had a 40 minute wait & was packed! We decided to go to Ciao Mambo - it was excellent. A little on the greasy side but food was delicious! A table of 8 was set up beside us which made us nervous at first - especially when they came in with little kids that should have been at the babysitter's! But we were amazed to find that the kids were excellently behaved and we were so impressed that we bought the parents' drinks! They thanked us profusely. While we were dining, the prom attendees started coming in so we had a Runway Show with the girls in amazing dresses & the guys dressed in studly tuxes! There was only a slight mishap when the food attendant who seemed to have nothing to do besides waste space at the order counter...brought us out the incorrect food twice! Our waitress came over and corrected the mistake, but I could have waited. It was ridiculous that this dumb girl put food in front of people they had not ordered!
We then decided to go to The Mill to have another beer & play a game. Girls won! We headed home where KRN fell asleep on the couch at 10PM. M had to cancel their get-together with friends in Sandpoint.
Sunday morning we got drinks from Jen-Bunny. Then took dogs for walk at Farragut. Came back home to change then kids packed everything up. Drove with Bud & Lil Bit & Beebo in the FMF to Verizon store (assholes) for kids to get new iPhones.
The Following is a Complaint Letter I submitted to Verizon.
We had lunch at Schlotzsky's because the guys were hungry. Their sandwiches were not good. Our salads were old & brown. Ick.
Then our final shopping for the day was at Lowe's to pick up shop lights for hubby. I got an aloe vera plant. KRN & I walked dogs for a short potty stop while guys checked out.
We decided to take dogs to the CDA Dog Park. It was fun. Sunny day and the dogs had fun. Lil Bit wanted me to pick him up and then snapped at a couple dogs. I don't think he was in the mood for the dog park.
Kids left to go home. We went to Wendy's to get cheeseburgers for dogs at home. Then drove home. We were exhausted. Unloaded everything & relaxed for the rest of the night.

Sunday morning we got drinks from Jen-Bunny. Then took dogs for walk at Farragut. Came back home to change then kids packed everything up. Drove with Bud & Lil Bit & Beebo in the FMF to Verizon store (assholes) for kids to get new iPhones.
The Following is a Complaint Letter I submitted to Verizon.
We wanted to upgrade phones to the new iPhone on Sunday May 1, 2011 at the Verizon Wireless Store on 540 West Prairie Avenue #108 Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815.I HATE VERIZON.
When we the girl at the entrance asked our name, she wrote it down and said it would be "just a sec". My wife asked if it would be an hour, or a sec. First of all...your customer service should be more accurate...say something like - "thank you for coming to Verizon - the wait will be about 20 minutes." Why would a service rep ever have said "just a sec". This is not an accurate wait. You need to train your representatives better to actually serve the public. What was the MOST rudest customer service I have ever seen or heard is that the MANAGER of this store pulled the girl aside and told her "Make Them Wait!" in a whisper-however, we overheard this comment. All of us were shocked that somebody; especially the Manager could be this nasty in front of customers!
When we were finally helped, there were no white iPhones in stock as we required. Even though the customer service representative was able to check stock in other stores, and we offered to go pick it up in another store, we were told "You CAN'T do that." That is really NOT customer service. We offered to drive over 25 miles to go get the phone we wanted.
After settling for a phone we did not want, the customer service rep...even after verifying two different phones to transfer service to two different iPhones - one being the 32GB and the other being a 64GB...still managed to transfer the Contacts to the incorrect phones.
The final nail in the coffin to the customer service was that after we left the store, the phones WERE NOT ACTIVATED. We had to call into customer service and go through a step-by-step activation.
After this fiasco, we will not be ever going to this store with its horrific customer service & rude management. Not to mention the stock & wait time is appalling at this Company owned store.
We had lunch at Schlotzsky's because the guys were hungry. Their sandwiches were not good. Our salads were old & brown. Ick.
Then our final shopping for the day was at Lowe's to pick up shop lights for hubby. I got an aloe vera plant. KRN & I walked dogs for a short potty stop while guys checked out.

Snowing Snowing
Got lattes this morning, then ran to Rathdrum to pick up cake & groceries for hubby's birthday tomorrow.
However, I forgot the hostess cupcake that we use every year to celebrate the birthday in the morning.
Dropped off the registration for the 4x4 event at NAPA this weekend.
Came home & unloaded groceries. Dogs were upset that I had been gone. Gave them treats. It snowed. Then hailed.
Hubby came home later & went down to work at shop. I drove down to A-town to pick up hostess cupcakes.
Made red white & blue ball for KRN.
It started getting very cold outside. The wetness on the deck froze. Hubby came home about 9:30pm.

Nails
Got my nails done in town this Wednesday morning at 9:30. After I was done, I had intended to head over to the X-ray Imaginging, but it was mobbed. They would not be able to get me in for 3 hours. So I decided to kill some time and met with hubby & Matt Z in Post Falls for a few minutes.
The dogs and I got cheeseburgers at Wendys. Drove to Rathdrum to pick up entries for the 4WD event there at NAPA this weekend. Hubby, son-in-law & friends want to attend. Went to Spirit Lake to pick up Spring surprises for KRN & DeraLee. Then home. Unloaded everything & took a pain pill. Which did not set well on my tummy even tho I ate before taking it.
Hubby came home after work and brought milk. Dogs took a nap waiting for him to get home. They were excited to see him. He went down to shop to work for a while.

Doctor Day
On Monday, I vacuumed and cleaned the FMF quickly before it started raining.
Then washed dog beds, vacuumed & mopped the house. It was clean for about 2 hours before the dogs started tracking in mud from the yard.
Contacted doctor offices & made appointment for my knee at 2pm Tuesday; made appointment for hubby Tuesday May 3 at 2:40 for his foot. Bunion-ectomy!
I went to bed early as I did not feel well. My left knee was really hurting. Hubby said that when he came to bed there was already an 1 inch of snow outside! It is spring!
Tuesday went to get lattes and before I could leave, had to shovel off 3 inches of snow off the decks. Did some more laundry, then had to go to appointment.
Took a picture on the way of the snow we received.
Doctor had blood drawn for tests and recommended an x-ray in CDA. There was no definitive diagnosis. Could be anything from Gout to Osteoarthritis to Cancer. Gave me prescription Naproxen. I picked up hubby's prescription while I was at the pharmacy. Hubby briefly detoured and met me in the parking lot. Quick kiss & he was gone again to work. I went next door to grocery store to get steaks, hamburger & dog cookies.
Came home & unloaded. Hubby arrived home a little later. He went down to shop to work for an hour. Then came back & we loaded dogs up in truck to go to park for a dog walk. Then drove around park to see deer.

Happy Easter
Friday - I have NO clue what I did today. Don't remember.
Saturday - Cleaned Dodge top to bottom. Earl's kid, Austin came up to the house to pick up major loads of dog poo. Now, I just have to get hubby to bring up the power washer...(tomorrow I will learn that hubby "loaned" it to Tim. And of course, Tim "loaned" it to his dad.) WHY can we never have anything we own at our own home?
Sunday - Found eggs hubby had hand colored with a marker. Deralee & Jen Bunny came to open latte stand in their jammies especially for us. Filled Dodge with gas - $75. Walmart for groceries - over $350! wow. Filled FMF gas $65. We are now officially broke. :(
LOL. Not really. Just seems like an awful lot of money for nothing.

Happy Birthday Isabelle & Bit
Happy Birthday Isabelle & Bit
Cake, Bones, Cheeseburgers & Red Ball
Went to get lattes with Bud & Lil Bit. Came home & picked up dog poop out back. It alternated hailing, snowing, & raining again today. WHEN is Spring coming?
I paid the traffic citation and put it in the mail.
Hubby brought home a cake (forgot Lil Bit's name) for the birthday kids. Along with dog bones, cheeseburgers & a big red ball for them to play with as a present. Isabelle is now 7 years old; Lil Bit just turned 2 years old.
Had lots of fun. Izzy played like a puppy for about 5 minutes with the ball. Then she was tired. Harriet was very frightened and ran upstairs to hide. I had to go to the top of the stairs & feed her a cheeseburger. She came down later to chew on a bone.
Bud refused to wear his birthday hat. He pulled it off right away.
Dogs chewed on bone crack for the rest of the night.
When we put dogs out for the last time tonight, it had snowed over 1 inch. Darn. I already put all the shovels away!
Where is Spring?

Monday/Twosday
Monday, I vacuumed house again today. Really need to get Angus in for a shave. Too much white hair everywhere.
Called the insurance lady with John Deere to provide info.
Went to Oldtown with hubby to look at a Concession Trailer. Picked up hot latte drinks in Spirit Lake before we went up. It started snowing while we looked at trailer.
Hubby met Ryan the scrapper in the shop about 8:30 so that hubby could collect money for trailer. Goodbye trailer.
Tuesday went to get latte & paid Deralee for the Blueberry bushes. I want to get a few of these watering cans that are SO very colorful. Great to put plants into. Trailing vines? Beautiful!

Blueberry Bushes
FRIDAY - Took hubby to work. Stopped to talk with Deralee at Latte stand until 10:00. Cleaned house. Vacuumed upstairs. Swiffered. Cleaned up basement. Made banana nut bread. Started to clean up dog poop outside again. KRN & Matt picked up hubby on way here. He did not have ride because VZ truck had to be left at work. Matt & hubby worked in shop on Roc Bronc until very late.
SATURDAY - Hubby & Matt left at 6:00. Loaded Roc Bronc on trailer for Cabin Fever 4WD Run in Pinehurst. They will be gone all day. Us girls did not want to go because COLD & Rainy. Probably snow in mountains. Brrrrr. Guys were noisy loading Roc Broc; dogs woke up & barked. Went back to bed until 8:30. KRN woke me up. We got dressed & took Bud, Bit & Bravo with us shopping. Costco. Jamba Juice. Latte Stand. Wendy's. Macy's. Kohl's. WalMart. Wendy's made raw hamburgers again. Line at Kohl's was VERY long. Checkout girl had to call manager. LONG wait. KRN got several tops at Macy's & Kohl's. Found a new (used) clothing store next to Jamba Juice in town. Nothing interesting.
After all the shopping we took Bud, Bit & Bravo to Dog Park in CDA. Was lots of fun. Stayed about an hour. Dogs were extremely well behaved. It was a pleasant time. Spoke to an older man that was on the committee to start the dog park.
Went home & unloaded all KRN's supplies into her Jeep. Then worked on making muffin stickers for her on my computer.
KRN was starving. Watching TV until guys came home late. Guys were all excited about the 4WD trail ride in the mountains! KRN & Matt changed clothes & went up to Sandpoint to visit friend for her birthday. They got home late - around 2am.
SUNDAY - Got up early with the dogs. Harriet was wagging her ears so we thought she was having a problem with them. Cleaned them out thoroughly & she seemed to feel better. Went to get drinks from Jen - Bunny (aka - new rave name is Unique?) at latte stand. Hubby said he would send guys down on Monday to get Blueberry bushes as they are HUGE. Over 6 feet tall.
Packed dogs up in Dodge. KRN & I sat in the back. Matt in front - hubby drove. I had to lock up & go potty last minute. Let Lil Bit out with the rest of the dogs to load. He ran around playing 'keep away' from everybody until I came out and called him just once - he came running up on the deck & jumped into my arms. Everybody was mad at me. Then took dogs for a walk down at Wild Dog dead end. Harriet was running like a wild deer. Romping.
Went home & dropped dogs off. Put Bud outside so he wouldn't chew up house while we were gone. Then drove to The View Cafe in our FMF. KRN wanted to take Matt to eat breakfast. He was starving.
Came back home so that kids could pack up and they left to return to their home.
We went back down at 12:30 to get more lattes from Jen-Bunny. She was leaving to go see boyfriend. Then we drove around in neighborhood. Bud & Bit really liked seeing all new area. Then home.
I took a hot bath to help my left knee which was hurting. Did not help.
Hubby made burgers on the grille tonight at 6:30pm.

Thursday - Went to get lattes. Took dogs for walk. Hubby worked in shop. I cleaned house.
Friday - Got my nails done. Walked Bud & Bit at the Spokane River Centennial Trail near Barker road exit.
Picked up Beebo and took him to visit Mommy at her latte stand on base. Texted KRN "Mommy, come pick me up. I walked to the base from home but then won't let me in the gate without my military dog pass!"
KRN was SO surprised. Dropped off custom Red White & Brew Pens, a White T-Shirt, and new punch cards. Took Beebo back home. Picked up parts at A-Star then got cheeseburgers. Went home to the girls.
Saturday - Took dogs for walk at park. Hubby worked in the shop. I cleaned the FMF. Cut open my knuckle; it would not stop bleeding. Bonked my back on the camper top of the truck when I cleaned out the back of it. Hubby came home at 7:00 and took care of me. Lots of aspirin and went to bed early on heating pads.
Sunday - Made waffles for hubby & dogs. Went to get drinks in SUPER clean FMF! Jen-Bunny's 18th birthday is tomorrow. Dropped off the mixer that KRN borrowed from DeraLee. Came home & cleaned out basement. Put up wooden flag on deck. Also put out deck chairs & pads. I filed all the files in the cabinets. So proud of ourselves. Then we rested for a while. Took dogs for walk in park after it rained. Went to get some misc. groceries at Spirit Lake Millers. Hubby grilled steaks.

Death & Other Things
Found out on drive over to surprise KRN Thursday that my father had died. My brother in law texted hubby to let him know. Since hubby was driving, I picked up the phone and read the text. It was shocking because he had died the previous Friday...March 25. And none of my family had let me know. Not even a letter. Nothing. Assholes.
So we called our son in law to let him know we were coming and he signed us in at the gate. We surprised KRN at the Red, White & Brew stand. Then went home to pick up Bravo and take him with us when we went to north Spokane to pick up some parts at A-Star. Met Kevin Reese with some of the parts at the community college. Then back to Cheney to see the kids. They were already home, they changed clothes and we went to eat at the Elk Public House which was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
The food there was quite good. We will be going back. Hubby got me drunk because of the news. Saw an adorable little white Boston Terrier. I fell in love. Even hubby stopped to rub him. Very friendly little dog. His parents were at the window in the restaurant having dinner and had tied him up outside. They were smiling while we petted him.
Took kids home, then we went home ourselves. Stopped to get cheeseburgers & got home to the girls late.
