Sometimes I don't think...

The scene from Tuesday...

As soon as I walk in the door, Justin says "mom, my pump says pump not primed... no delivery" SHIT! When did that happen? "on the bus" (20 minutes ago).

Okay, not a big deal. We will prime and correct... you should be fine.

As I primed the pump... SEVERAL drops of the insulin dripped out onto the floor.

Suddenly, I hear a gasp from my daughter as Oakley is going after the drippings.

Sometimes I just don't think. My mind was so focused on fixing... that I neglected to simply grab a paper towel to catch several drops of a medicine that could possibly kill a six month old puppy.

Do you think it could? Or would it have to be injected? My inquiring mind wants to know!

Oakley is part of the family... how would I explain that?



IT'S A BOY!!!

We have talked about it for some time. When I was ready... Anthony was not and when he wanted to... I didn't want ANY PART OF IT. But lately, I have been looking, poking around and even almost adopted. Unfortunately when I received the call to go pick her up... they said she was sick. Possibly contagious. It broke my heart to say no, but I couldn't bring anything contagious here and take the chance of Justin getting it. Plus... Anthony is not on the same page right now.



Last Sunday... that all changed. Leighanna and I went off for a bit and came home with the newest addition to our family...


Meet Oakley...

Of course it's a puppy... what did you think I was talking about??

Oakley is a Chorkie (Yorkie/Chihuahua). He is 8 weeks 3 days old today and he is a doll!!! When I woke up Sunday morning I did not know what a great day it was going to be. Oakley has fit right into our family... an unexpected joy :)

When we first came home... Anthony was NOT.A.HAPPY.DADDY. I didn't tell... I just showed up with him :) In my defense- I HAD to do it that way or it would have never happened. Plus, he was warned... a few times that "ONE DAY I am just going to bring one home".

He said "you KNOW that I am not happy", "this dog Will not be on the furniture, he will not be in our bed, the first time bla bla bla"...

Let me share with you exhibit A... this was taken LAST Sunday, about an hour or so after Oakley came home.

So much for all the rules!!! lol
