…discovering there’s more to life than being the mommy
Hey all! I’m back and I’m totally exhausted. It was a long drive. We sort of took the long way back through Georgia instead of going straight from FL to AL so I am wore out and don’t want to do anything but veg. I think I’ll go watch Friday’s epiosode of Amigas Y Rivales before tonight ep starts.
Alright, I’ve come up with a new design for my site. I will be working on it this week and next. Hopefully it will be fully uploaded sometime next week. This weekend, I most likely won’t be posting. Eric and I are off to Florida to see the in-laws for the weekend. It is his birthday and we thought we’d go spend it with his family. So my access to the internet will be very limited. I may be able to check my email and that’s all. Which of course that is fine with me. Every once in a while I need a break from the computer. Maybe when I get back I’ll have some more pictures to add to the photos page. I promise that when the new layout goes live, so will the photos. I will have some up soon. My page about me will also have more information about me, so you can read up and see what we have in common!
Sadly enough, I may not even get to do the Friday Five tomorrow. Maybe, but we are leaving early so I don’t know if I’ll have enough time in the morning. As part of the new site, I may make a button for those of you who would like to link to my site that way.
Haha! Sadie (the dog) is shedding! Argh! I can’t keep the dog hair controlled. I guess that is what happens when you have a long hair pooch. Pick her up for one second and your shirt is now a dirt-colored white from all the hair. I have to start sweeping the kitchen floor daily now because of all the hair, and forget the towel in her bed! It is covered. It is no longer blue….it has turned an off-white color from all her hair.
Actually we need to start brushing her more often but she is so crazy, she can’t sit still. You pull out the brush and she has to stick her nose in it. So brushing her is definitely a chore. But if we could get in the routine of brushing her daily, by the time shedding calmed down, we’d have enough dog hair to make a coat. And white to boot…it would match perfectly the white dog hair cap we already have!
I have a meeting soon, so I better get a move on it. I’ll be back next week with a whole new site!
It must be nice to be a stay-at-home wife and mother. I grew up with my mother being stay-at-home for most of my childhood. I loved it. I always thought I’d be a sah mom myself someday, but I don’t think that will ever happen. My income is higher than my husband’s, so if we were to lose it, we’d be hurting. We depend on my paycheck and couldn’t afford for me to stay at home. So unless by some miracle he gets an incredibly high paying job, I’m stuck being a future working mom. And no, it’s not likely that he’ll get some magnificent high paying job. My career will always pay more than his. So my idea of being a stay-at-home mom will most likely not happen. 
This has to be the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. It’s crazy and I’m not surprised at the amount of hits the page has received.
So, can anyone help with my problem? Our dog is digging her way out of our yard. Well, she digs everywhere but recently discovered she could dig a whole at the fence and get between the privacy fence and the chain link at the back of the yard. Any ideas on how to keep her from digging out or anywhere in the yard. I hate leaving her closed in the back part of the yard but we are afraid she’ll dig out under the gate and run off. I thought about cementing the bottom of the fence. That would be a lot of work and the prefered solution is for her to stop.
We (hubby and I) washed the cars today. After days of rain, today was beautiful, sunny, and HOT!! So we felt we should get outside and do something productive. We washed and waxed my car and washed his truck. Then of course, he wanted to drive around, showing off how clean it was. That’s a male for you!
Headaches are horrible. Especially when they won’t go away. Migraines are even worse. Today, I spent most of the afternoon with a migraine. I could barely move it hurt so bad. Several pain pills and a nap didn’t even help. You can’t even do anything, because you can’t think straight, your brain is pounding so bad. Thank goodness, It is slowly and finally going away. Maybe tomorrow I need to drink my cup of coffee. Maybe I won’t get a headache. Heehee! 
I came across deviantART yesterday while browsing and it is so neat. It is a portal of sorts where members can post their artistic creations for others to view, use, etc. There are some really beautiful graphics posted.
My desktop background came from this site…and I must confess. It is my work computer desktop, but I actually like it and it’s not totally boring so I had to post it.
I only wish I had half the talent of the people who post their art at DeviantArt. I would love to be able to create something fantastic and be able to display on a site to show everyone that I did it. Maybe at some point I’ll scan in some of the pictures from our honeymoon to the Grand Canyon and post them up for everyone to see. They really turned out wonderful…postcard good, but that was before I had a digital camera. My camera did have panoramic, so I got a lot of great panoramic shots of the Arizona desert and Red Rock Country.
