More Iris Pictures…

Yeah, you should be good and sick of them after this..I’ll stop soon, I swear!

So, the kids got home yesterday and we put Iris on their bed then told them to go play in their room for a bit.  BT cried a little because he didn’t want to play in his room.  While he was looking at me and crying LT walked up to the bed pointed at Iris and grunted in his questioning grunt (yeah, he grunts and I can tell which one means what..being a mom..ahhh).  Then, BT turned around and still crying, asked, “Who is that puppy on my bed? What’s her name?”  They then played with her and LT is just totally in love with her and BT just wants her to play (Sunshine and Sammie aren’t playing types..they’re weird). 

She has started to ‘come out of her shell’ more and is playing with Sunshine and Sammie when we go outside.  She also goes right to the grass does her business then comes back into the garage and sits.  She is a really great dog, and we’re spoiling her, like we REALLY don’t need to be doing.  She sleeps in the bed with me and DH.  Dh says that she’s “alright” when I ask if he likes her…he’s so in love with this dog it’s scary! 

All last night she just snuggled with my feet, then this morning she snuggled with my nose.  She’s such a sweet dog and even though it’s a bit of added stress on me, she’s well worth it!  Well, I have to go rescue her from the children…they love her to pieces…literally! (ok, not really, both kids know how to handle dogs, hell we have enough of them!)

Riddle of the Day

What happens when you take a married couple, childless for the weekend, also big animal lovers.  They get the idea that getting the third cat would be ok, they could surprise the oldest child with her when he returns home.  They head off to animal shelters looking for the one perfect cat (white with grey tabby spots).  They, of course being animal lovers, check out all the cute little puppies, too.  So what happens???

Why, they get a puppy of course!  Do they get a cat though?…No.

Yes, you read that correctly.  Dh and I went looking for our 3rd and final cat, couldn’t find one and then I found HER, the perfect puppy that I’ve always wanted (but was too afraid to tell DH that I wanted, until AFTER we moved)….Please welcome ‘Miss Iris’..aka ‘Butter’, because she melts like butter when you hold her.

I have always wanted a little mixed terrier puppy..but they are hard to find.  Now I found her…yeah, DH and I decided that we’re just gluttons for punishment.  She’s a great dog though, so far she’s only piddled and pooed outside and she LOVES to be a big ball of mush when she’s being held (which is all the time, she was at the shelter with her sisters and is having some separation anxiety). Another cool thing about her is that she was in the EXACT same cage as Sammie (the black lab) when we got Sam as a puppy, over 5 years ago!!!

We’ve also decided that instead of 3 kids and 2 dogs, we’ll just have 3 dogs and 2 kids (it’s really cheaper this way, and I don’t have to nurse the dog!)

Ok, funny story…….

This might not be funny to most people, it’s abso-fucking-lutely hillarious to my sister and myself (even DH who usually doesn’t find my funny ‘bob’ stories funny at all, gets a chuckle out of this)….

I was 17 at the time and was basically living with my sister and her ex-fiance.  I was always at her house and I was always usually high.  One particular night my sister and I decide that Pizza Hut would be an awesome idea (no traveling and hey those breadsticks, ROCK!).  So hussy calls Pizza Hut and is trying her best to keep her composure and place our order.  I kept making her laugh (which, if you’ve ever smoked pot, is a VERY easy thing to do).  So she finally manages to spit out our order of a pizza, but, she forgets the breadsticks.  So I am quietly saying, “Don’t forget the breasticks…BREADSTICKS!”  Well, she’s busy talking to the pizza guy so I decide to yell so that the pizza guy will hear me.  So I walk next to my sis and start yelling, “Don’t forget the breadsticks!! We need breadsticks!! BUNCHES AND BUNCHES OF BREADSTICKS!!!!!!!!!!!! LOTS OF ‘EM!”  Well this sends my sister into major fits of laughter and the poor pizza hut guy is laughing his ass off, I’m still yelling “BREADSTICKS!! BUNCHES AND BUNCHES OF BREADSTICKS!!”  Finally my sister says, “yeah, we need breadsticks too.”  This of course sends me into a fit of laughter and the order is finally placed.  I’m sure those guys knew we were intoxicated (how could you NOT?!), but they gave us our pizza and didn’t call the cops..THANKS, GUYS!

I’ll have more stories for you next week…maybe even a special one this weekend..but my mom is taking the kids and BT is feeling better, I didn’t get a cold, THANKYOUJEEZUS, or Zicam rather… Have a great weekend!

GAH! you people want an entry don’t you?  Well fine then……Let me think of something.  I know, you tell me a funny story and then I’ll post a funny story (or 5) tomorrow….come on! It’ll be F U N !!!!

I think I’m getting sick.  My mom is suppose to take the kids this weekend but BT has a cold, LT will probably get it tomorrow…if he doesn’t have it by tomorrow I might have actually gotten lucky and he won’t catch it at all…I sure hope that happens.  I have more pictures of my pretty pretty flowers, I’ll post those tomorrow maybe.  Hope everyone is well and may spring come quickly to those of you who are still shoveling snow!

Wow…I have nothing to say….I have one more picture though..wanna see?  Ok, great!…

Click for full view..

I’m off to sketch some shit for class…as much as I LOVE that I’m in Art School and not in an ordinary CPA school or something, I still hate work…I’m allergic or something..   But I’ll soon have the whole summer off…it’ll be just like 7th grade or something!

Spring Break is Over…back to work…

But, hey, I have PICTURES!!! HOOO HOOOO!!

Spring Break-Day 5

Well, I promised it and here it is….DH’s ring. Yeah, it’s on his finger….I told you he wouldn’t take it off!!

I also took some pictures of my newly bloomed hyachinth and tulips.  Also the Barlett Pear tree.  I will post those later, I have to print them out first.

Spring Break-Day 4

This is LT after his 2nd birthday.  Click for a full view.  And no, he didn’t REALLY drink Absolut…it’s a prop, but a damn funny one!

By the way, I have vowed to not discuss world affairs on this blog, I might (big, glaring, MIGHT) post some to the turtlemama.com blog, but probably not.  Not unless something really stupid happens..then I’ll be ‘The Editor’ and speak out about it…for now though, I’m all about humor and good fun…ENJOY!

Spring Break-Day 3

Well, not too much going on….boy is it nice to not have school work to worry about.  I’m about to have a gazillion tulips in my front yard, the weather will soon be sunny and warm (it’s rainy and a slight chill is in the air, right now).  Life is pretty good right now.

I’m having some sort of strange writer’s block lately, I just don’t want to write…I’d rather stay in bed all day with my husband..but the assmunch has to work…damn him. 

I need to get creative and start doing something cool…..I”ll go figure that out and you all can move on to other more profound blogs…sorry that I’ve sucked lately, ok, I’ve sucked for a LONG time now but I’ll try to get better..I just need to rid myself of this block.  Have a great hump day!
