Pumpkins

Well a little update from my last post...my rant. Thankfully my mom has decided to go up with me to Disney to meet my sister. I cannot tell you how relieved I am. Phew, it was a close call. Thanks mom!

Not too much going on this week. I did get a chance to do early voting (for the lesser evils). Make sure you get out and vote. If you don't, things will never change! I just wish they had new faces instead of the same ones.

Here's Holly sitting like the lady she is.

Yesterday my parents came up by train so I decided to take Lucas with me to wait. He didn't seem to mind the train even with the horn blowing, that is until they were breaking and it was screeching. Then he wanted out of there.

Me and my mom went shopping for a few hours and stopped to get a pumpkin on the way home. I was just going to stop by the grocery store but saw a church that had a ton of them. Of course the ones I wanted were the $40 ones (yes they were expensive) so I ended up getting a $14 one. It's still big. I can't wait to get those pumpkin seeds out and into the oven. YUM!

This week I have a follow up appointment with my primary doctor and Friday I'm taking off to watch scary movies all day. I make Halloween a yearly take off day to do this. It is the best holiday after all.

Well I hope everyone has a great Sunday, and I wish all of you a Happy Halloween!!!

A Rant and a Shower

I try not to rant too much, but I just need to get it off my chest. Let's just say I have a really hard time getting along with my sister as she is so controlling over everything and doesn't care what anyone else has to say or what they want to do. This year is her year that she comes to visit. My sister and my niece have been coming to visit every other year since she's moved away. They stay with my parents (just over an hour away) thankfully. My sister and niece are going up to Disney and Universal Studios as they normally do when they come. My nieces birthday is December 28 and that's what she wants to do. The worst possible time of the year to go. My moms health is not what it used to be and she won't go with them this year so my sister asked me if I'd want to go. Kick me in the ass, but I said sure, why not. This will probably be the last year I see them as next year my niece will be off to college and their lives will change. I figured I could put up with them for 2 days. Well today she calls me to tell me to go online and sign up. So I asked her what is the website I'm going to. She starts off to say I'm just like our mom and don't know how to do anything online. I said give me the f*@#$!g website and I can sign up. She needed me to sign up in order to link me to her account. I asked her if I had to pay today or can I do it next week. She started on me AGAIN, and then told me to just call our mom and get her credit card number because she said she's paying anyway. I told her you're kidding me, she can't afford her doctors, I'm not using her credit card. Unfortunately that's what my mom told her, that she would pay. She is such a self-centered (excuse me) bitch that I am totally regretting saying I'm going already! I was supposed to drive up there the night before but now I plan on just going in the morning so I have to spend one less night with them. I can't take it already. I'm going to have a full head of gray hair and my throat will be unbelievably tight because of me stressing. I wonder if I'll even make it the full two days. I'm going to try my hardest not to think about it until then. Someone please hit me on the head and tell me how stupid I am.

On a better note...weather has been in the mid-80's this week for a change. It was nice to sit in the yard with the kiddos.

Here's Gomez and Pugsley. They love to lap up the shower water after we're done. Hopefully they won't be sucking up any shampoo or soap.

Well I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. It's pretty much over for me. Monday morning will be here before I know it. Have a great week!!

Finally October!

I'd have to say October is absolutely my favorite month, even though I do live in Florida and it's still hot as heck outside. Just the idea of it being Fall, looking at pictures of leaves changing (sure can't get that here), knowing Halloween is just around the corner. I love everything about it.

Here's a quick update on my Lucas. We have him on antibiotics until the end of the month. Then we will take another x-ray and see if there are any changes. If there are not any changes we will then have a BAL test done. Might want to Google that. From my understanding they sedate him, put a tube down his throat and flush a saline solution down. It then brings back samples of hopefully what's going on. It can either show what kind of infection he has, it can show if he has cancer, and it could also come back clear (which would be our luck). His temperature has been in the normal range. I'm taking it twice a day as last weekend I stopped because he was doing fine, but then his temp went back up to 103.5. The doctors believe it might have been from stopping one of the antibiotics 2 days prior. So that is the antibiotic he is back on. He's been fine since he's been back on them...knock on wood over and over.

Here's Lucas and Pugsley hanging out together.

Holly's birthday was on October 1st. She's 4 years old now. I sure miss my little girl. Time goes by way too fast. The pic on the left is the day I brought her home. :)

The other day I went to meet a friend. As I was waiting for her I seen two peacocks. One on top of the truck and one on top of the trailer.

Here's a couple more recent ones of my Hollydoodle. She's sleeping with Lucas' toy, but her toy is more intact than Lucas'. They both still love the toys...thanks Sam!!

Mr. Gomez has finally figured out how to get into the cabinets. He was fascinated with them once he actually paid attention to us opening them and realizing there was space for him in there. Now he goes into one kitchen cabinet all the time and both bathroom cabinets. He also can open the closet doors...brat! He makes a mess of a stack of towels, pushes them all on the floor. Here's Pugsley waiting for Gomez to come out this morning. I opened it so you could see what he does. There used to be more space down there but hubby put the paper plates down there.

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! Hope to see some more Fall, pumpkin and Halloween pics out there!
