Today is not a so fun day....

A couple weeks ago we discovered what seemed to be a small little bump by the neck of our beloved 6 year old golden retriever big "G" we made sure it was NOT a tick. Looked it over and figured it was probably just a little cyst. The other day my husband and I were again checking on the spot and hubby noticed that it was bleeding. Which I automatically took as a bad sign,  since this is the same way we discovered our little love bug cat had cancer last year. Unfortunately our little furry diva did not make it and we had to put her down earlier this year...She was 16 yrs old and a sweetie - she used to drive me crazy with her meowing all day but I do miss her . That is why I do not think the family is ready for another pet to go through what our little kitty went through. I should not jump to conclusion but that is how my mind works. My hubby...... of course is always a tower of strength for me and told me not too worry and not too jump the gun. Thank God he is in my life.

I have noticed that Big G has lost a bit of weight but I thought that was because she was getting a bit more exercise than usual. Her appetite is still very good. We have an appt. early Friday morning to make sure that everything is cool but I am still worried. My biggest worry is her little sister little C....... if something God forbid happens she will be a mess. They have been inseparable since we rescued little C from very bad owners that should never be allowed animals - Bastards! When we brought Little C home she weighed only 32 pounds.  Present time...not so much. Little C has doubled in weight and certainly filled out but you know what...she is happy!
I am keeping my fingers crossed that all will be well. Friday is going to be a long and hopefully positive day. I am not a huge prayer person but I will be saying my prayers tonight for my beautiful, special dog. We love you!

My big boo

Rainy Tuesday WTF it's

the end of June. So over this weird weather. I mean..... were we live we have never had what everyone else in the world technically calls "summer" but this is ridic. I mean come on..No wonder everyone is in a fowl mood. I don't blame them with this messed up weather. It is cold and it looks like fall outside. Hopefully what the weather peeps said this am actually is going to happen. They say were in for a nice week and 4th of July which would be a first.

The sucky part of this weather is it limits what you can do with baby and the dogs just get super depressed. LDG does have a play date with her cousin L Dog this afternoon. Which should be fun for her and challenging for me since there is no outside cuz of the lovely weather.....So today I am going to bake some cookies and have the two little ones help me out.  They can then have fun trashing the play room.

Not much else today....

PS Alaska please do not send any more of your crappy weather to us

Stellar weekend was had by

all. We had a pretty packed week and weekend. Had some construction that was being done last week. Our place is a 3 bedroom 3 level home which was plenty big before LDG came knocking on the door {surprise mommy and daddy}. When LDG joined our happy casa we turned my closet {sigh} into her nursery. We have a big room on the lower floor that when I was working was used as my showroom/office and after I stopped working a guest "suite". Well...... as you know...... when you have kids they come with allot of crap so I needed a place to store ALL of her toys,  I cannot have them scattered all over the house. It would have driven me insane so we decided to make the downstairs space into LDG's play room. Now when her cousins and play friends come over they can downstairs and trash the room and no one has to see it.

Anyways..... we had this A-M-Azing wall unit built and let me tell you kudos to the California Closets Team they rocked from the sale consultant who came to the house and the installation team that was here all day Thursday,  everything was done with utter professionalism- which in these days and times is pretty hard to find! It added so much storage space and the bonus is there is a Murphy bed so when we have guests over we also have a place for them to stay.

We had really nice weather on Saturday.  We decided to meet some new friends in the downtown area for some drinks. The area was jumping with activity and it was a great afternoon had by all. We then had a birthday party in the neighborhood with a set of very good friends.  Awesome taco bar and a few more glasses of vino made it for a great evening. After you have a baby,  it gets very hard to keep the set of friends that you used to party with so it is always great when you meet a good group of people in the neighborhood that you can hang out and have a good time with. Sunday was hang out with family day. We chilled, relaxed and enjoyed each others company. The next week is jammed back with LDG activities and getting ready for the long 4th of July weekend - Yeah!!!!
We are getting a visit from CGM my lovely MIL and Ms. LDG's only grandma we are super excited. The last time CGM saw LDG she was a little monkey who barely weighed 6 pounds now she is a full on on the go - toddler.

As I am trying to finish this blog Ms. Thing has scaled the couch and is about to bonsai on one of the dogs. Haaaaa the joys of motherhood.

Gotta go
Happy Monday!

Ok so I admit it...

I might be slightly OCD when it comes to my home {and ok everything else too}.  I realized that it has gotten a little bad last night. I physically got out of bed to fix a picture frame because it was not angled correctly. Who the f*** does that shit just before falling asleep? Oh....... that's right my mom used to. I remember when she used to do this and think how crazy it looked. Now I find myself doing the same damn thing!

I believe that your home should be neat as possible as neat as you can get with two {long haired} dogs and a toddler wandering around.  I vacuum everyday, toys in the playroom are put away right after play - LDG is getting really good at helping mommy out!  There is never a dish in the sink {when I had the dishwasher replaced last week I had two dishes in the sink and it was driving me crazy}, I make the beds every morning and generally tidy up throughout the day. I cannot stomach a disorganized/messy house. My mom was  a NEAT FREAK I am talking to the extreme. You could walk into the house and literally eat of her floor. On Saturday mornings I did not get the option to sleep in...7 am my mom got me up for our weekly super clean the house day. I am glad that she instilled those qualities in me because I now can run a household which believe it or not it is a very hard work..but sometimes I wish I could just let some things go.....It drives my hubby crazy...that I am so anal, however he does appreciate that everything has a place and he never has to worry about the house being a mess.  My hubby sometimes wonders what I am stressing about and I guess he does not see what I see in my mini OCD brain. If one pillow is off on the bed I semi freak....Oh yeah well that is me take it or leave it.....

I am.... bringing...... this up...... because?   I have noticed a very disturbing "trend" as of late...I apologize I am going to be very blunt.  Their are some DIRTY ASS FEMALES out there. I am talking pigs. And there is nothing more unappealing that a dirty female! If I was a male in this day and age and walked into a dirty, messy house that would seal the deal for me...Would not go any further. The End. Finito..See ya later.  It was like that episode of Friends when Ross was dating this totally HOT chick and he goes back to her place and her apartment is disgusting...You could try and overlook it for a few days but it would eventually kick your ass. I am addicted to reality TV so I watch my share of garbage {I own it}. Be it ANTM, Jersey Shore, Real World  so on and so on. The females living spaces are just messy.... dumping their clothes on the floor, eating in bed and leaving the dishes with old food to rot under the bed, not washing your dishes and leaving them in the sink for days, garbage piled high, sheets that look like they have not been changed in months..
You know it is bad when they actually have an episode on ANTM were Tyra walks in the beautiful mansion some of these soon to be models our housed in to lecture them on responsibility and  to have them clean up after themselves because the place looked like such shit! Is it a generation thing? Must be because I do not remember every being that grody when I was a teenager and a young adult. Is it being a lazy thing...yes I believe it is....

Happy Friday....

Awwww

my little one playing away on Ipad as I blog away......
