Blog Slacker

I am such a blog slacker! I haven't really had much time to blog in the last couple of weeks and hate that. I used to try and blog atleast every other day, but lately, I have been lucky to blog once a week. My big project at work is going out the door tomorrow and I am off starting on Wednesday for a week. I am really excited! I was planning on doing a major cleaning of the house while I was off, but I am not sure how much I am actually going to get done. Ted gets home Wednesday night and I was planning on cleaning during the day, but I had to schedule Chloe a vet appointment.

She has been having some issues that started last week and I am not sure what is causing it. She got sick Friday night and last Wednesday, she got me up in the middle of the night twice to go out to the bathroom. She NEVER does that! Also, yesterday, while Tab and I were shopping, she got out of the gate and pooped in the house twice. She NEVER EVER does that! I can tell something is really going on with her. It has me really worried because she has the lumps on her body that I took her to the vet for a couple of years ago and they seem to have gotten bigger since then. I had decided that I didn't want to take her to the vet for them again because I didn't want to find out the worse case scenario as long as she was eating, drinking, playing and going to the bathroom like normal. Well....since she has this issue, I am officially concerned. Hopefully, it is just a bug, but we should find out something on Wednesday. My poor baby. She is going to be 10 next year and I will be devastated if this is something more than just your run of the mill virus! Here she is giving my momma some lovin'.....

On another note, we didn't have as many trick or treaters this year as we did last year. I bough a good amount of candy and started giving away huge handfuls just to get rid of the candy. Of course, I saved the bag of starburst I had and didn't pass that out! :) I put Brody in his costume and took him to my neighbor's house for a little bit. He was only in it for about 30 minutes, but didn't seem to mind. The costume is definitely going to get retired as we were struggling to put him in it, but it still worked. If it had been another month, I am not sure he would have fit into it.

The black thing he has is turkey call. If you shake it, it makes the sound of a turkey gobbling. All he wanted to do was stick it in his mouth, of course!

He has started talking more and more. Everytime we are in the car, it sounds like he is having a conversation in the back seat, just talking away to himself. It is really cute. He also does it when he is in the crib either before or after he wakes up. I tried to get it on video, but he must have known because he stopped making noise as soon as I turned the camera on. I will catch him doing it one day. He also started to do the army crawl. He has pretty much relied on rolling to get where he wants to go, but my Dad said that he crawled today to reach his pacifier. He has been rocking alot, back and forth, on all fours, so I knew this day would come.

I was worried about how daylight savings time was going to affect him and the answer is......none! Sunday morning he woke up around 6:30 am and he struggled with his morning nap, but other than that, he is pretty much back on his regular schedule. I put him down a little earlier than normal last night since he was getting tired, but tonight it was back to his normal bed time of 8:00 pm.

Well, this is a pish posh of thoughts I have going on here, but once I started typing, I just kept going. Today is Christy's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS! :) I hope it was a good one. (I ended up getting not just one stamp from Mom and Dad, but 4 so I put your card in the mail today! You should get it either tomorrow or Wednesday! Sorry it wasn't there today!)

Anyway, I am off to watch some Dancing with the Stars before I go to bed. I am going to try and get up early and vote before work. I absolutely have to vote this year because this will be the first year that Ted and I don't cancel each other out. No, we are not voting for the same person.....that will never happen in our lifetime! He just can't vote! He registered for his absentee ballot since he isn't here but it never came! Oh well! Better luck next election! :)

Have a good night and a great week! :)
