One Reason I Rarely Mop the Floor

Yesterday was cleaning day.  I spent at least 3 straight hours in the afternoon cleaning the entire downstairs of our house.  One of my tasks was to vacuum and mop (very well, might I add) the kitchen floor.  As many of you know, we have a little "hallway" from our kitchen to our coat closet, and at the end of the "hall" is where we keep Spike's food and water dishes, out of the way of everything. 

Well, while I was on another task, cleaning the bathroom possibly, I realized I hadn't heard much from Jordan for a while, and went to investigate.  I found that she had slopped every drop of water out of Spike's dish and was licking the water off her hands.  Don't worry too much, I had just scrubbed his dishes clean as well.  But, needless to say, my freshly mopped floor needed some re-mopping.  Instead of getting upset, though, I got out my camera, because who can really get angry with this little cutie?!

 

Lazy Way Out

Hi Guys.  I know it has been a super long time since I posted, and I have decided to take the easier, lazier way out by posting a link to my photos on Shutterfly rather than adding them on here.  I'm sorry, but I make albums of 200 pics or so each, and it's just too hard for me to choose 5-10 to post on here, not to mention time-consuming.  Anyway, if for some reason the slide-show for the albums isn't working (which is happening when I view the blog right now), just click the link below the album that says "Click here to view these pictures larger" and it will take you right to them.

You can tell pretty much what has been going on with us from the photos, but here are the few things you may not know:

We are expecting a third baby (totally planned) this summer.  My due date as of right now is August 1.
Mike is still searching for a full-time position, but things may be looking up in that area; I'll let you all know what materializes.
I'm in my slower season, so I'm relaxing more now, but it's hard to do that with two kiddos to chase after.  That's why we're having our third now, so we can do all the chasing at one time!

Have a good day!

I love my dog, I love my dog, I love my dog....

Monday, 7:00 PM - Give dog soup bone from Mimi.
Monday, 9:00 PM - Call Mimi to thank her for soup bone - Spike is thoroughly enjoying it and has eaten about half of it.
Monday, 11:00 PM - Take Spike to bed after he has consumed entire soup bone.
Tuesday, 2:00 AM - Dog is making annoying licks on the carpet, ignore and go back to sleep.
Tuesday, 3:30 AM - Dog's licking turns to smacking of the lips and coughing, attempt to ignore and go back to sleep (slightly annoyed).
Tuesday, 5:00 AM - Can no longer ignore dog's coughing, which has turned to hacking. Bring him Harlie's babydoll's bathtub filled with cold water. Force him to drink. Attempt to go back to sleep.
Tuesday, 5:30 AM - Dog is on bed, as usual. Try to get comfortable with him under my legs.
Tuesday, 5:45 AM - Hear dog beginning to vomit; shove him in an attempt to keep the vomit off the bed. Think he's on the floor, but bed shakes with each heave. Wake Mike up and yell at him for shaking every time Spike pukes.
Tuesday, 7:00 AM - Mike gets up to shower and says, "Do you even know where the dog threw up?" I inspect entire bedroom, and find that I need to scrub the floor, change the sheets, scrub the mattress, and wash two comforters.
Tuesday, 7:30 AM - Thanks a lot, Mimi.
