The Last 7 Days....

These last 7 days have been hectic to put it mildly...we have had so much going on between school starting, sick animals, dr's visits, etc....our heads have been spinning..hahahaha!  I feel like we have just been going non-stop.  Don't remember how I used to work too during all this.  And here I was thinking with me not working that I'd have tons more time to get it all done - ha!  How misled I was.....  :)

Last Thursday:
Dealing with this -

A sick dog with a severe allergic reaction to what we think was a wasp sting - swelling and huge welts all over his body.

Last Friday:
Visit #1 to the vet due to reason above not improving.  Got several prescriptions to help with the swelling and hives.

Saturday:

Swelling still continues but now add diahrrea & blood to the list of symptoms.  Also went to bday party and came home to mess #1 of many more.  He just laid around all day looking pretty pathetic.

Sunday:

Open house at Brookie's school - met her new teachers

Still dealing with sick dog and mess after mess - pretty much could find him like this all day

Monday:

Andrew's 1st day of school
Visit #2 to the vet to determine cause for his other issue.  Got more meds (finally seemed to do the trick)

Tuesday:

Visit to the specialist for Cannon's head - Dr confirmed that it is only a cosmetic issue and nothing medically wrong (very relieved).  He said it won't get any worse since he is now more active and doing more than just lying down.  We recently borrowed this walker from my friend Natalie for Cannon to use - he LOVES it - he plays in in while we are outside and just squeals and smiles non-stop - he is so proud of himself.

Wednesday:

Brookie's 1st day of school

Thursday:
Andrew's birthday - little celebration at home with us & Grandma.  (Party will be on Sunday afternoon - just hoping the weather cooperates!)

The yummiest chocolate cake

Getting ready to send some bday balloons up

Up up & away

Just had to add this pic - she just looks like such a big girl to me in this pic.  And yes...mother of the year award - I didn't even realize she was out without her shorts until we were done - such a proud mommy moment - oops!

Friday:
Andy got in our car to take Andrew somewhere earlier tonight and 'new' car was completely dead on the driveway.  Lovely end to an already crazy week.  When he told me about the car...all I could do was laugh and make a comment "well that just sucks."  I didn't even freak out - it honestly has just been that sort of week (and definitely been that kind of year financially) so I just figured... lets add some car problems on top right..sure why not?? lol...Luckily it appears to just be the battery...so thankful that is all it is.  So tomorrow we will add that to our list to do - get new battery :)

Here's hoping to a much less eventful week next week ;)
