Just some pics of the 4 legged ones…

This is Buddy, the oldest:

This is Sarge, the lab:

This is Doc, the Black and tan cocker:

And this is the baby….Romeo, age 12 weeks, our Golden Retriever pup…

Jackson is home today. He’s pulled something in his back and is really hurting. I’m hoping it’s not from the board breakathon on Saturday. He really worked hard and broke 8 boards for his first time. Anyway….I’ve got him on the heating pad and depending on how he feels this afternoon I may run him to the doctors. I’m sure he’s going to say rest since it’s a muscle. I can’t see them giving Jackson any kind of muscle relaxer as he’s too young. We’ll see. I am going to email his teacher and let her know. So……home bound today.

My darling Granddaughter Cate Emily.

Current Mood: Loving

Yesterday Jackson tested for his Blue Belt in Karate. He did wonderful as usual. Then they had the board breakathon later that afternoon. It was fun and it was his first time to break 8 boards with his little foot!!! I know his foot isnt really little but it’s little to me. He’s growing up so handsome. *my side of the family* Seems I’ve come down with either a Hiatal Hernia or some Godawful stomach problem. I started hurting last week and I’m going to have to have some tests done. This sucks. I don’t have time for such nonsense. But I’m living on Mylanta. I never had these problems when I was smoking…… Today Jackson and Brent went to the train show. They are in heaven right now. Uncle Phil is down there also, he has a big display up at the show. I stayed behind to drink my Mylanta and to clean house, do laundry. It’s just hard to bend over and I have this constant urge to belch. It’s very uncomfortable. At least I slept all night. I was really tired. We watched the CSI marathon last night…all of us with doggies up on the bed..hehehe..was fun. We finally sent Jackson to his room around 10:30 because we were tired. I told him he could stay up and do what he wanted but he went to bed…with the 2 dogs. God love them…they are like tripletts.
Little Romeo is growing and getting much better about play biting. It hurts! But he’s learning what OFF!!!! means but you really have to yell it at him. He goes outside really well but I let them out all the time. Puppies don’t really have bladder control until they are around 4-6 months to “tell you” they need to go so I just keep letting them out. Puppy keeps trying to play with ol’ Grandpa Buddy and it’s hard for the old guy so I try to keep Romeo busy with other things. He just wants to play but it’s too much for Buddy. I should have gotten 2 pups so they would play together. HAHAHAHAHAH…*I just heard Brent’s jaw drop* It’s a beautiful day but cold. 28 right now and a little wind.

I’m still getting a real kick out of my Garmin GPS…it gets so confused.. I went up to my daughters the other night and it had me going on freeways that I had no idea where I would have ended up if I had listened to it. It’s a female voice and Jackson calls her the “crazy woman”. He makes fun of her all the time..LOL. *Make UTurn..Make UTurn…*

Well I guess I should get off the puter for a while and go do something. I just wanted to jot some things down. Not sure who even reads me anymore but to you that do, have a great week and I’ll see you soon!!!! Dana Lea, if you are reading me, I’m thinking about you.

I realize more and more that if anything happens to Brent and it’s just me and Jackson, I will be totally alone. I have no one but Brent to depend on. And that’s ok. I can depend on myself and I will be strong so not to need anyone’s false sympathy. I’m really great when I have something to give but when it’s just me I’m nobody. That’s ok. Someday it will come back around.

The sun is out, the weather is warmer, my puppy is sweet and Jackson is wonderful and I love my husband. I have a great house and it’s filled with love. What more could a person ask for?
