Why even bother

My husband says he is going to help "clean" the house and he will start by cleaning the bathrooms upstairs to make things easier this week for me. So I'm upstairs bathing the boys and I look at the toilet and it is still dirty. I know he "swished the bowl" but that does not make for a clean toilet. The whole thing needs to be wiped down from top to bottom, hello we have two little boys peeing in there and they don't really have good aim at this age. Next we are brushing teeth and I get a look at the mirror, yep you guessed it he did not wipe that down either. So according to him all you need to do to clean the bathroom is wipe the tub, counters and inside of the toilet bowl. Yes hunny you made it so much easier for me. I still have to clean the bathrooms myself!

What was I thinking

So you know we have a new puppy. Well in telling my mom about the puppy I told her about these Basset Hound puppies that a lady had at the vet the same time. She immediately exclamed "Oh, I would love a Basset puppy". The parents have been considering another dog for a while now so I asked if she was serious and if she was I would get it for her for her birthday, which is this week.

Why didn't someone slap me? I offered to hang on to the pup until she gets here in two weeks! That makes 4 dogs in my house right now. The little bastard has peed on my floor so many times I am about to kill him. I don't know how he does it. He walks around the entire yard peeing and then comes in and five minutes later he is peeing on the floor again! He peed on the floor more times in the first 4 hours we had him then our sweet Bela has the entire week. (Bela by the way whines at the door to go out, how cool is that we have a pretty smart cookie here)

Ok, so what the biggest problem is, he is SO DAMN CUTE I can't stay mad at him! NO FAIR!


I blame it on Peanut, he picked him out!

What's your Name

I know this may not seem like a lot to most people, but those of you who know us know that Peanut doesn't have very good communication skills. Imagine my surprise and joy when the little girl behind us in church asked Peanut his name and he immediately without prompting replied "Peanut". I got tears in my eyes I was so proud!!!!! What a great DAY!

Look Momma!

Ah, little boys are great! Here is a transcript of a thrilling event today

Peanut: I got to poot
Momma: Well go then
Peanut: (calling from the bathroom) Look momma green poot
Momma: what?
Peanut: Green and brown poot
(flush)
Peanut: Bye Bye Green poot

Just as a side note, he doesn't normally have green "poot" but we had his birthday party yesterday and he ate a LOT of icing.

Bela

6 lbs 3 oz and fuzzy to boot!

We really didn't need to add to our clan, but when I saw this little angel my heart melted.


Your heart melted too didn't it?!


Just look at that cute little face. People kept saying she looks big, but the few people who have seen her in person say she isn't as big as she looks.



Here is a decent picture of the whole crew. The other (non-human) kids are adjusting to her. Although if you judge by Sadie's look she could care less. She just wanted a treat for sitting for a picture.



Peanut is the most fun to watch with her. He absolutely LOVES her. He keeps carrying her around and telling her "Come on Vewa sit by Peanut". Sweet Pea, who is not much of a dog person, even loves her. He actually let her climb on him. He is always telling the other dogs to go away.

Yes, as my friend so kindly told me I am a NUT for adding to the Chaos in my home, but she is cute!

There is a light!

There is a light at the end of that L-O-N-G dark tunnel the school board has you walking through, it just takes a Lawyer to finally enable you to see it. They put so much crap in front of you and cloud the way, Lawyer lady is a Superhero who comes in and clears the path. Ok, so it may take some time but the outlook is good.

Not to all parents dealing with ASD's get a Lawyer, the school board is screwing you out of services you are entitled to by law!
