Last night I sat down and created a list of things that need to be done this week, ok - so it started as a list of things to be done today - but by the time I got into it I realized I was setting myself up for failure. My morning started at 7AM and this is how it progressed. 1) Make coffee 2) Feed dogs - now lest you skim over this like it's no big deal, you must understand that this involves feeding the geriatric dog a mixture of dry dog food, wet dog food, cooked green beans and eggs and feeding the young whippersnapper a mixture of yogurt and pumpkin. Oh - and keeping them separate from one another while they eat. Last week I would have told you that my older dog was probably not going to be long for this world. He has progressively lost weight, was incapable of walking a straight line and while he didn't seem to be in pain, he was constantly trembling. After a trip to the vet, and $400 later - he was given a B12 shot, Rimadyl and Tramadyl and my dog is walking, running a playing again! 13 year old and he's acting like a pup. We're trying to fatten him up and add some muscle tone - now that his balance is better he doesn't mind standing to eat. The younger dog has been throwing up a lot so we're feeding yogurt and pumpkin to settle his stomach down a bit. 3) Medicate dogs - see above. 4) Vacuum and Steam Clean carpets - again see above: pup throwing up all over - quite a mess! 5) Start dinner - pork in crockpot for pulled pork sandwiches 6) Laundry (I did 8 loads of laundry today! 8!!!! And... I'm still not done) Sheets are all washed and the beds are remade 7) Lunch for Hubby - ham sandwiches on homemade wheat bread. 8) Put together stuff for Goodwill (4 bags ready to be delivered WOOHOO! 9) House Fairy visit. The House Fairy visited my son today and brought him Pokemon Cards with a reminder to keep up the good work 10) Serve dinner, clean up kitchen 11) Get dough ready to rise for tomorrows 4 loaves of bread. 12) Put together game plan (Hitman prefers for me not to call it a Lesson Plan, LOL!) |
