Tad, Shadow and I went to the Cherry Vally feed store for the Summer of the dogs event. It was totally free, and free lunch. We got to see a police officer that has his partner as a k9. I don't remember the officer name, but the dog's name was Lex. Lex is a 4 year old German Shepard. He finds drugs and chases bad guys. His work days are 12 hours long, then he goes home with the police officer.

There were animals that were up for adoption, and we were strong. We didn't take any home. There was a big dog name Jake with only one eye. He lost his eye to a infection. He was a strong boy, I took him out on his leash. Well I got to get ready for work. My weekend is over with, I am ready for a vacation again.

There was a huge dog fight again. I don't know what to do with those two. They were fighting over something, I think pizza crust that Tyler gave shadow earlier today. I hear and see the fight so I pull Ann from under the table, and shadow and her are still trying to fight. I grabbed Ann by the scruff of her neck and pull her to safety on the chair, which is loaded with unfolded laundry. With Ann being on the chair and getting attention, she forgets she is mad. But little one eyed shadow is barking, showing his teeth and jumping for the chair. It came very close to me throwing myself on Ann to protect her. After all I am the one with insurance. haha.
Speaking of Ann not only can she let herself outside, now she can let herself on the screened in porch. She is too smart for her own good. Bye for now.

I wish I was home, I am working. But lately I am not sure what is home and what isn't. I spend so much time with my clients, it's maybe like living with grandparents. I twisted her arm to get her out to go to the salon. One thing that is nice is that it's peaceful at work, besides the loud tv, or when she is in one of her moods. I do get to sleep. Not everyone can say I sleep at work. Or should admit it.

At my real home, the one with the mortage payments to remind me that I own it, there is some really pretty roses that we grew from sticks. We are pretty proud of them. They would look so much nicer if the front yard got mowed. haha. I won't do it. But if my guy knows what is good for him, he will do it. :) Bye for now.

I had this feeling that one of my clients would pass away before summer ends. I hope I am wrong. But Sandy* has been doing more and more sleeping lately. I hope she snaps out of it. I want to be wrong. It's getting to be so boring at work, I am trying to make myself more comfortable by hanging out in my bedroom and reading when I know they are sleeping. Plus yesterday I took a walk for about 15 minutes to get fresh air. I seen a couple about 75ish riding bikes, it was cute. The man came flying down the hill, and here she comes riding the brakes. That would be me riding the brakes. I got to a new bike, Tad got it for me. I don't see me riding down any hills anytime soon. Well got to run.

* means names have been changed to protect my clients privacy, just in case this huge world gets smaller and someone reads this that knows them.

Will and Tyler had a special treat Saturday. They got a airplane ride on this small passenger plane. Tad and Gary and I and the kids had a nice time hanging out. Tad tried so hard to get Gary a ride, but it didn't work. I think Gary breathed a sigh of relief when Tad was told no. This is actually their second time being at the event.

Tyler even got a free motorcycle ride! So far this has been a pretty good summer. I always find that Summer zips by so fast. It can be a good thing, getting kids back in school. but I enjoy summer time, because it's not as rush rush everywhere. The kids are growing too fast. Well guess I can't do anything about besides refusing food. lol. I shouldn't laugh, there are some crazy people out there. You would think children are safe while with their parents, but that's not always the case. It's sad but true. Well bye for now.

Today is the first day of Summer!!! We are going to go check out cool airplanes. The kids can probably get free rides, and Will should be able to fly it. How scary!!! Be on the look out for pictures. bye for now.

Yesterday was the day, I always take my little old lady to get her hair and nails done. When I tried to get her up, she said she didn't feel good. So her husband Bob* called the Dr, and we had to take her for some blood work. I get so worried when one of them isn't well. I have come to love them both.

So after the blood work, I had a chance to ask him questions because he is a Dr himself. I think it makes him feel good, when I ask medical related questions. After I picked up the meds for them, I came back and she went to sleep.

While Sandy* was sleeping, Bob and I did quite a bit of talking. Normally they don't talk too much, because of the TV and she doesn't talk a whole lot, and tells us to shut up. haha.

After Dinner, I watered the flowers the fresh air felt so good. I was gonna ask him if it was OK, if I took a little walk, but instead I did something different. I asked her if she would take a walk with me, told her that I didn't want to go alone. I was surprised when she said yes. So I helped her into her chair and we went for about a 20 minute walk. We heard the birds, and seen lots of flowers and a few people. Pushing a wheelchair up and down hills and side walks can be a lot of work, but it was well worth it.

At the end of the night, I spoiled her by applying lotion to her legs and feet, gave her a really good feet rub. She was in heaven. I got to try to do that more often. They then went to bed kind of early, and I was able to read for a little a while. Then I went to sleep kind of early. As always morning comes too soon. But then again, I am home with my family and my zoo of animals.

Ann is in the house, and no dog fights, but she is more interested in the kitty. She if offering a fair trade. I give you(that is Tyler who has the kitty in his hands) my paw,and you give me the kitty. Well can't blame her for trying. Bye for now.

My sister's new car!! Cool isn't is??

Shadow has recovered from the fight with Ann. He is getting around just fine, but he acts different. Shadow and Ann can't be around each other too much. If Ann isn't jumping over him, he is chasing her, trying to bite her. I tell him all the time, one more dollar and it's going to be 60.00 at the vet to take care of him. He just don't listen. He won't take crap from any animal. The only one he puts up with is the kitten. I can't quite blame him.

Our front yard is looking really nice. Tad does a good job with it, and we have lots of nice flowers. The backyard is another story. Ann has destroyed it, and Tad doesn't mow it much. It's looking like a jungle back there.

This has been the first week of the summer camp for Tyler. He has been there everyday for about half the day. He has a really good time. Next week they are taking all the kids to lazer quest for a small fee. He told me he really wants to go. It's a wonderful program ran through the park district. Tyler really enjoys going. This is the first summer we haven't made him go to summer school. We decided it was time we let the kid be a kid.

Well enough rambling on for now. Bye for now.

Check out gary's phone.he changes phones like he does underwear

My work made me take a tb test because I am around old people, I don't have tb!!! I didn't think I did but it was a pain to get poked and get it checked out. I think if they are gonna make us caregivers get tests, lets drag the old people to get poked too.

Today was the first day the day camped opened up. Gives Tyler and other kids something to do without a lot of costs. He enjoyed himself. I enjoyed myself too, because I took a little nap.

Nothing else really exciting going on in my life that I care to talk about. bye for now.

Meet my step son martin

I had a nice weekend away from work. The time went way too fast as always. We watched a freaky movie, until I fell asleep. It was pet Sematary, which hasn't helped my creepy dreams. Last night I had a dream, I found two young labs in the basement on fire. After the fire was out and they were ok, we got to keep them. Can ya imagine a house with three black labs. Even we as animal lovers got to admit, it would be crazy.
Marty the kitten wakes me up several times in a night. He is about ready to live outside with Ann. She will take good care of him.

This weekend my guy did me a huge favor, won't go into details but he really made my day!! He is such a good guy, except when I am mad at him. Well I got to get ready for work.

I am sitting outside with the computer, it's cooler outside than inside. I notice more and more, this neigborhood is loaded with girls, Tyler won't have a problem getting a girlfriend. Besides being cute there just won't be enough guys to go around. bye for now.

nuts

My client has been nuts today. She is 97 years old, so I guess she is entitled to her bad days, but it's going to far. Funny thing is that later, she won't remember she was mad at me. lol She will be a sweet angel. Gots to love old people, I have tried to dislike them, but it just doesn't work.
P.S. I have never tried to not like these guys, so other crazy old people. Many have died in this past year and half with this job, rest in peace crazy old people. No offence to old folks, like I said ya gotta love them. Bye for now.

I am feeling really bad right now. First off school is out, and Tyler is driving me nuts already. He is trying to hang inside too much, normally I can't get him in. I think the neighborhood kids are dissing him. They are mostly girls, so I kind of understand girls hanging out with girls. But I can't stand to see them mistreat him, then use him when we run the sprinkler, or for treats or juice.

I think part of it is because we watch Tyler more, and he can't run the neighborhood like the other kids. It really bugs me to see him treated badly.

Second I am really visiting the past right now, some choices and decisions, I made are coming back to haunt me. What seemed right back then, seems crazy now. My choices in life didn't just effect me but a couple other people. I don't know how to fix them, or if what was wronged should tried to fixed. The excuses I had then seem dumb now. Really sucks to me be me. Bye for now.

I was bored and looked through the cookbook to write down the recipe for homemade ice cream, and seen the cookies, and decided to check the cookie section. I was amazed, they had all the stuff needed to make cookies. Mmmmm see post below to get jealous over cookies!!!

homemade cookies is a result of getting too bored at work.

It's really hot out there!!! It's hot in the house, because we don't wannna make comed rich!! We signed up for the summer reading program. We got to free tshirt. That kind of stuff is fun, but the crowds bug me. Who wants to wait a hour for something that lasts five minutes. Will post pictures later.

My air in my car works!!!! I don't have to listen to my little old lady, who I love very much, complain all summer because it's hot. A new water pump, new tire, and a new battery, and I am good to go.

What a warm summer Day!! School is just about out. Only a half day left,so all the little kids will drive us crazy. Say hello to warm weather, and say goodbye to afternoon naps. Guess everything has to have a trade. Have more of Tyler around isn't all bad.
I remember those summer days playing outside with my sister, using our imagination doing silly things. Like the mud pies, and the fridge that sat outside for us to play. That is until someone told Dad, it wasn't safe for us. I remember making weed soup, playing in the wagon as it was a pool. I remember the most expensive toy, I ever begged for was a cabbage patch doll. Unless my mom says different. I remember the last toy, I begged for was a doll called baby talk. What a decieving commercial. That doll wouldn't carry a conversation. Just feed me and stuff. My mom tried to tell me that, I was getting too old for dolls. But did I listen. Nope!!! Then a crazy cousin of mine, decided it was cool to color on it, and destroy it's hair. It wasn't what I hoped it would be, but to destroy it was crazy. Wish I was a kid again, where these are how I spend my summers.
oh well guess we can't go back. Well got to run.

Shadow is doing pretty well. He will get his stitches out in a few days, it's hard to believe it's been a week already. Tad says we need to start putting the dogs back together slowly. He tells me that if they fight, I need to jump in the middle because I will heal and I have insurance. lol. He is willing to send the girl in, and let her get ate up, because it will be paid for lol.

Tomorrow is Tyler's last day in school, it's a day called Life is a beach. They have to bring a towel and a lunch. Plus playing with water balloons. Sounds like a fun day, I wish I could be there. There won't be too many fun days, where parents can show up. Well parents can come any day, but not always for fun reasons. Well enough for now.

Damn car

Today I drove Tyler and I to get our glasses, This is his first pair. I have been wearing them since I was his age. We are driving home, and the car died. It said screw you, I am tired. I have a feeling I screwed up but pleading the 5th. Tyler is yelling "mom the gas is empty, we ran out of gas. I am telling him to shut up, lets tell people the car is tired. Ok got to fess up, read post below.

Multimedia message

Ok so we are on 6th street and the car wouldn't start back up. This guy guy with a cast on his arm, pushed us till the next side street. I wait before I walk, so he won't offer a ride. A girl has to know, you don't get into cars with strangers. So we head to the gas station, because I think the car isn't running because I opps pushed it to far on empty. I am now part of the dumb ass club. Gas light means get gas you dumb ass.

So I get a can and pay for gas. I get back to the car, and I can't quite figure out how to get the gas from the can to the car. Remember I am new to this club. This black man on foot comes up and helps me get the can put together. Who knew this was so hard. We get the gas in the car, and it still won't start.

He was trying to get someone to help jump the car. He wasn't afraid to ask anyone. But I felt as if no one wanted to stop because he was black. He tried his hardest but no one would stop. So I called my husband, he couldn't come. Then I called my step son. Wow that sounds weird. So after I tell the guy my step son is coming, he leaves. But before he gets here this black couple show up, and he was more than happy to jump it. Almost wouldn't take no for a answer. So Gary didn't need to show, but it was very cool of him for willing to come rescue me from the club.

Then I took Tyler to get a couple new things for summer. A kid has to have shorts. Well that's about all for our exciting day.

I am glad that i had people who helped me today, I hope people can learn not to be afraid of someone because of thier skin color. Just be afraid because there are a lot of crazy people out there. Read Ann Rule there are nuts of every color. Bye for now

back to work

My mini vacation is over. It wasn't quite as I expected, I meant to do more cleaning, and didn't plan on a emergency. But then again who does plan them. Overall I still enjoyed being off and getting a breather from work. Now it's time to try and fit more hours in my week. Not quite sure how I am going to do that, or if legally my work can give me more hours. Well got to get ready. Bye for now.
