not for long though, even with this stupid migraine which hit me on Friday. I still did the garage sale but not happily. Nothing better than having it and being sensitive to noises, smells and the light and having to sit in the driveway with no shade and my eyes tearing up and having to look all happy to be there and smile at everyone that stops by to see what junk you are getting rid of.
Chris managed most of the money and questions while I just sat and pretended like I was there for a reason. We started about 8 and ended at 11 because the heat was too much. After making lunch, I went and laid down and surprisingly I went right to sleep. I only slept about 4 hours the previous night because my head just would not stop hurting. Chris woke me up a few times to see how I was feeling only to be told to go away. He gave me a pain pill and about an hour later the migraine dulled to a tolerable headache. It didn't last long, maybe 5 hours because as I type this I feel it coming back.
Tomorrow we will have the garage sale again and anything left behind will go to Goodwill. So I hope tomorrow is better.
Puppies are doing great. Getting back their energy and playfulness. They finished off the last of their medicines today as well. Right now Bentley is sleeping in his bed and Reese is cuddled up against Scooter (both of them are snoring)
Ok... I am off for now.

All is well...
on the home front. Bentley and Reese did real well. Bentley is coming out of it better though. He ate some yesterday and was more aware then Reese. I figure it will take her a while longer to recover since her surgery was more in depth. We have medicines for them to take twice a day to make sure they heal well. One is a sedative so they won't get too hyper and make sure they do not overdo things. Right now they are both at my feet sleeping:) Scooter has been like a mother hen with them. She will go inside their cage area ( we have one side of our kitchen caged off for them) and make sure they are ok and every once in a while she will lick them. Which is unusual for her. She normally just stays out of their way. I stayed up real late last night to make sure they were going to be ok. I don't know why but I just really needed to make sure.
We are gearing up for a garage sale this weekend. It's funny though, one side of our garage is filled with furniture and stuff and we are hoping to get rid of all it just to have it fill back up again with my parents stuff... well whatever does not need to be in a climate controlled unit that is. Chris is excited because we will have my dads motorcycle. haha... and most of his Craftsman tools etc... Men and their toys. I have been talking with my parents a couple times a week to get more details and I am anxious for them to get here already.
Well.. I gotta go. Need to give the puppies their meds.

Today is the day..
Reese and Bentley are already at the vets. Not sure when they will be done. Could be as early as 1pm or as late as 5pm.
We did give them their baths last night but I wasn't able to clip them because the clippers were not working.. aggravating. At least they are clean:)
They knew something was up when they did not get fed this morning. Katie and I loaded them up into the car, drove them to Chris' mom so she could take them to the vets. I figured if she does it they won't be mad at me later. My mom told me when they took their "Peanut" to have her surgery, she would not look at my dad for a few days.
Other than that my family and I have chilled out the last few days. Chris actually played an online game called Dofus and he was able to play with his best friend, Phil who happens to be in London attending college for developing games. So they chatted and played online for a good 8 hours on Sunday.
Jeff has been picking up extra hours at work and in his spare time he has been going to the mall and hanging out with friends. He needs to get a grasp on informing his dad and I about his plans earlier rather than last minute. That is one of our biggest problems with him. He neglects to tell us until the 11th hour!
Katie is growing like a weed! She is going to be a tall girl. We bought clothes about 2 months ago, they are not even worn looking and already they are too small. We will have take her shopping this weekend to get her more shorts/jeans. Her shirts still fit but her pants are to tight and short. And so far no more incidents at Camp. I think they fired that counselor, or maybe they moved her somewhere else. I haven't seen her and when I pick Katie up in the afternoon I am being told how wonderful Katie is doing. There is a new counselor there that absolutely adores Katie.
Me? Still working on getting more products up on Regalo, coordinating my parents move to Florida, I reserved a storage unit for them in Venice. Cheapest one I have found so far. Damn these storage units are expensive.

My Poor Babies....
They will be going to have their surgeries on Wednesday. Chris decided not to stud Bentley out. He is the handsome little one on the left. Reese will hopefully be a bit calmer than she is. She instigates all the running around they do and all the rough housing, you think they were killing each other the way they play. Scooter our Rot/Shepard is a baby compared to these two. Scooter will normally get out of their way when they run around the house. The bundle of energy they have should come in a damn bottle.
I am nervous for them... I don't like surgeries when they are done on me and I definitely don't like it when it comes to my family. But it has to be done otherwise we will be grandparents and nope that ain't gonna happen:)
So I will post on their recovery come Wednesday and I will have better pictures tomorrow since they are going to get their baths and their hair trimmed.

In Mourning For One Of Our Own.
One of our own is suffering the unimaginable. DJ, also know to many as Puppy Monster and NYC Watchdog's five year old son, died of a swimming pool accident yesterday. 
Although I did not know them personally my heart goes out to the family. As a way of showing support for NYC and his family, please visit Avitable's site and purchase a badge like the one on the right to help the family financially during their time of need.

Girls Night Out
I have not been out without the kids and/or Chris in ages. Not that I haven't wanted to I just didn't have anyone to go anywhere with. Kat and I have been planning for quite some time to get out and do something. When she posted about the movie 1408 and how much she wanted to go see it, I knew we would finally be able to go somewhere without our kids.
We planned on a dinner and a movie. I took her to Cheeburger Cheeburger because she had never been there before and they really do have good burgers. We also went to see the movie 1408.
Kat decided to get the tickets ahead of time through Fandango and it's a good thing she did because the line outside the theatre was ridiculous. Not to mention the concession line and all the teeny line jumpers. Kat was ready to knock some heads and I did not blame her one bit.
The teenagers theses days really have no common courtesy. As we were finding our seats Kat was told by two teenage girls that the seats we wanted were saved. Kat was like really? I don't see anyone sitting in them! And of course we sat down in the "saved" seats:) I know we are a bunch of 30 something year old rebels!
The movie was better than I expected, I really enjoyed it! John Cusack has never made a bad movie and of course Samuel L. Jackson was perfect for his role. A lot of suspense and it definitely had Stephen King's charm all over the movie. I have not been to a movie in a long time where you actually jumped out of surprise. There were even a couple of screamers in the audience.
So even though we went on opening night and yes the theater was pretty much packed with teenage brats. I am grateful that I got to go out and spend a few hours with someone who needed to do the same. I can definitely see this turning into a monthly girls night out.

My Baby is driving...
I let Jeff drive home from work tonight. His learners permit allows teens under 18 to drive up until 11pm. He really is a good and attentive driver but every time I get into the passenger seat I have a hard time not being in control. He needs practice before he can really be comfortable taking his drivers test and I figured it would give him extra time behind the wheel if he drives to work and then back from work.
He is definitely growing up. He went to the mall today on his own and hung out with friends there. He came home and had to hurry to change into his work clothes. He wasn't actually scheduled today but the asst. manager where he works at the mall flagged him down and asked him to cover for a co-worker that called in sick. I am proud that he fills in when asked, never misses a day of work and doesn't complain about working. I know that right now he just sees all this as a mean to make money but I see a start to a great work attitude and great work ethics. I don't know too many teenagers that hold a job for more than a few months. Jeff's first anniversary will be this October.
Sorry... I am just a proud mama here;)
