We had a lightening storm the other night and I’d left my computer on.  Apparently the power supply blew. =/  I took the graphics card out of my computer and put it in Ethan’s as his was going out.  Until I can replace those two items, I’m computerless. =(

Right now, school is starting back up for the kiddos.  Once things calm down a little, I’ll probably start working on finding the parts for my computer, but right now, I’m focused on getting their school supplies. =/ 

I so should have just gotten hamsters rather than having children.  They cost too much.

Petey barked at every little noise or shadow.  Around 5AM, I thought I heard someone knocking on my window when Petey woke me up barking.  I had to have been dreaming, but boy did it seem real.  No one was out there of course, but that didn’t matter.  It freaked me out anyway. =/  I’m soooo tired.  I couldn’t sleep past 8AM and I have to close at work tonight.  To ensure I stay sleepy, the rest of the week I work the early shift…lol

I logged into WoW tonight and got met with a lot of, “TBF busy tonight?”…and they were right.   To further prove what a big dork I’ve become…

You know you’re enamored when…

You look at TBF who’s got his back turned to you, dressed only in his undies, clipping his toe nails and you smile and think, “I should so totally be grossed out by this, but OH MY WORD he looks good.”  But wait!  There’s more!  Later, you realize he actually threw the clippings in the trash rather than the floor…and that same goofy grin reappears…

Mandy the dog got ran over yesterday. =(  My parents found her and buried her.  They didn’t bother to tell us though and last night, we were looking for her.  Finally, we called them asking if they’d seen her and they told us what happened.  It didn’t stop there though.  They then said, “You never kept her in the fence.  Petey will be next.”  This was an awful thing to say.  We did our best to keep Mandy in the fence, but she could squeak out anywhere she wanted when she decided to.  We’d repair one area and she’d create another escape spot somewhere. Vanessa was mad and upset which made for tears.  We’ve had plenty of animals, but this is the first one to die of something other than complications of being born or old age. =/  I felt horribly guilty because we’d talked about getting rid of Mandy so many times…but I just couldn’t get rid of her…and I certainly didn’t want her to die that way. =(  I literally cried on TBF’s shoulder last night…and he took it well.

I called to whine to my sister today.  She said she’s having poodle pups probably at the end of next month.  Last time, they had 12.  I told her we don’t want any, but I know Crym had said she did before.  If you still do, just let me know and I’ll put your name on one!

Wednesday, the kids and I went to the lake with my parents. They fished. I took pictures and absorbed way too much sun.

A duck was nesting in the boat. We moved her to the dock.

Ethan caught something too big.

Beck caught a small one.

Vanessa caught a drinker.

I texted TBF on the way home and told him we’d all gotten sun burnt. After work, he came over and brought some aloe vera gel. He’s soo good. =)
