what a weekend

ready to hear me whine? if not please check back again later...as it is needed.

Friday was the busiest day at work- EVER! I had to stay for an hour after just to get us caught up enough to make it through (or attempt to) the weekend.

*on a good note- for my lunch hour we went on another walk through - a house we like. It is a repo, so it needs a little TLC (paint, carpet, etc)

Saturday- Happy Birthday, Jakob!!

woke early, ran to Walmart to pick up the rest of the bday party accessories, and some groceries.

(and a pink and brown tshirt with paisley brint and polka dots on it for RILEY!!) Came home and decided to get Riley checked by the vet (she had been having trouble- vomiting her kibble in the evenings).....NOT GOOD! The vet said they needed to

keep her for the weekend....xrays, barrium swallow, more xrays, and a 2 night stay at Gaide Animal Hospital....it broke my heart to leave my baby there. I had to hand her off to the tech and about lost it. Koda went with me, and when I turned to see my teenager's eyes welling with tears, being tough enough to hold them back....I lost it. :-(

The day must go on.....we gathered a group of boys and over headed to Country Inn and Suites for the night. The boys swam, set up video games frenzy...we had a suite which meant 2 tvs....so they hooked up PS2 on one and Xbox on the other!! We had pizza, pop and icecream cake....YUM! Dakoda, Steve and I left around 9pm and allowed Jake and his pals with dad to hang out!! My night was rough....I am so used to taking Riley out multiple times between 9pm and 6am...

Sunday- the vet called this afternoon. Riley is feeling better, the suspicious area on the xrays seemed to be ok today....the barrium moved through as it should and she is taking antibiotics. :-) I begged to get her today but they said tomorrow after 10am!

Monday- planning to go get my baby....took the day off...personal day! Placing a bid on the house.....let's all hope for a better week!!

Love this one

are you tired of seeing Riley yet? LOL This is my fav pic so far...had to share!! She has really made herself to home....quite the spunky little girl. One downfall...she thinks at 2 am she needs her Momma....so far she has been waking up around 2am and NOT going back to sleep!! Ugh.....so yep, the goofball I am....she comes to bed with Momma!!

Trying to break this before it goes to be THE routine!!
