One thing for sure is I cannot wait for Christmas!...1. so everything slows down a bit and I can relax...2. I can't wait to see the excitement on my kid's faces Christmas Morning!....ooohh!!!... Stuart will be so much fun this year!...Look at him on his 2nd birthday... look at that excited face over a buzz light year...I can't wait to see his face when he opens up Train toys... or his tractor toys... eeeekkk...Last year it wasn't very fun Christmas shopping for him...but man.. it has been this year... and rather Sondra has been my dilemma...
Stuart :)
My Dilemma with Sondra is she wants all this crappy plastic stuff... like we made her list...and I had to tell her no to a whole bunch of stuff... Monster High dolls... sorry but no..they look too much like Brat dolls..or she wants little plastic crap that costs way too much money than what it is worth... its crazy....I know when she opens her presents she will forget all about wanting the other stuff and then when she is allowed to go shopping with her Christmas money she will spend it on what she likes... as long as it is acceptable for her age...
I do need to report I have about 2 more presents I need to buy for Christmas... trying to hold out for good deals!

| FLY |
Something else.. We got another Dog...ya.. my thoughts exactly... lol ..her name is Fly and she is 8 months old... She is a Border Collie... After Yago died Jake talked about getting a "working dog" so that he wouldn't have to ask me to go help him move sheep.... Fly has just started being trained to herd sheep...I of course didn't want the dog b.c. she was older..I wanted a puppy and know the dog... after a few weeks after getting Jagger..Jake again said he really wanted this dog...we eventually agreed that the next time we got a chunk a change or saved enough money we would get him a working dog... Well- a chunk of money came up and decided to go for it... I had a lot of apprehension in getting this dog... even when we got there she came out of the house running a way from us... she was nervous... but the lady got her calmed down...Nothing aggressive..just scared... but then she took us out to the barn and showed us a couple dogs and took Jake through the commands... his next step in Fly's training...seeing these dogs herding the sheep and the lady/Jake didn't have to run around or I didn't have to get out there and eventually fall in sheep shit...it was all the dog..and better yet the dog loved it... We took Stu with us..and after about 20 minutes he peed through his pull up..so we sat in the truck till the lady was done showing each dog to Jake.... as I was sitting in the truck I was laughing b.c. this Lady had to be Jake's dream lady... and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he never wanted to leave lol... ... But after seeing those dogs perform I understood Jake's motivation in investing in Fly.... Fly is a very lovely dog... and glad to report she likes me better than Jake...she would be in my lap if I let her...She is crate trained which is so so so nice..we tell her to get in it and she goes in it and doesn't make a peep...Jagger hasn't taken her cue and still cries for a little bit at night...but we are finding ways to help that... the only down fall is..she isn't house broken... and we are finding it hard to do so...before she was in a kennel all day and was let out 3 times a day to exercise .. and also they crate trained her... so we take her outside on the leash to go the bathroom but she won't ever go!... when I get home I immediately take her out of her cage and take her outside... she never will go... as soon as I put her in the kennel outside she goes... someone please help me..I've even tried keeping her on the leash and standing in the kennel and still she won't go.....
Anyways... the kids like Fly too.. Fly is still and stays away from Stu..he is a bit rough... I still won't leave Stu alone with Fly yet... I love the dog but I'd hate to have to kill this expensive dog if she hurt my son... But I don't believe she would... The lady told us she was a sensitive dog.. .lol okay>??... well she is... you can just give her mean eyes and she lays down and cowers... (which that is all me.. my dad could just give me a look and I would cry)..It seems so crazy....no dogs... to 2 dogs.. wow.. but its much more better...we were never home before... and a dog seemed crazy or not right to have b.c. we were always not home.. but now... its all good... I'm very happy...
on the shopping trip my wisdom tooth became infected...in the past 4plus years that I have had them they hurt a little off and on..nothing serious... well this pain... was unbearable... while my SILs were asleep in the hotel room unaware(b.c. I didn't want to bother them) I sat in the tub crying hoping this pain would go away...I had never in my life been in pain like this... I didn't sleep a wink that night.. I was thinking i had a ear infection b.c. my ear hurt so horrible too.. but turns out just my teeth... as soon as we got home from the shopping trip- I went in said hi to my kids & Jake while crying and left for doctor...I cried and cried some more on my way there and then got it together to go into the doctor... while waiting for the doctor..I began to pace..I was in so much pain... when the doctor asked me what was going on..I said "Look... I have had to C sections and the post recovery pain was a paper cut compared to this! I need something the 800mg of ibprofen I took isn't touching this pain..and whatever you give it needs to knock me out i haven't slept in 2 days!"...well..I walked out of there with antibiotics, script for 800mg Motrin and Vicodin .. I was surprised though to find Vicodin does nothing to me..it took away the pain but didn't make me tired or loopy...the doc said it would make me sleepy..which it didn't..grr... oh well no pain I'm happy..soo.. after my dental changes the 1st of the year..guess who is finally getting her wisdom teeth out... this girl..which I am not looking forward to...1... the cost... which we have dental insurance now so its not such a huge thing...and also..2.the pain... mouth pain is the worst... don't even ask me why would I be so dumb and wait so long to do this... here it is... I never put me first...its not cheap.. I'll tough it out... that isn't happening anymore... after constant questioning of when I'm getting my them out from Jake...I'm going to do it!
well I gotta go!!!>..
I'll write sooN! :)
