>Harley and his meds...

>My poor puppy. He has summer allergies and they cause skin irritations. He's so high maintenance. A friend told me to try putting the pill in peanut butter on bread. He loved it and took all of his meds with no problems. Here's a video...it's pretty funny.

Harley and his meds...

My poor puppy. He has summer allergies and they cause skin irritations. He's so high maintenance. A friend told me to try putting the pill in peanut butter on bread. He loved it and took all of his meds with no problems. Here's a video...it's pretty funny.



>Pray for me.

>I let my mil get to me way too much. I really need devine intervention at this point. I just need to accept things that I can't change and stop trying so hard. It is very obvious that she is uninterested in things that don't revolve around her. As bad as it sounds, I need people to pray for me. Pray that I stop trying to include her. It only hurts me and lets me down. I don't really want to discuss it with Josh. I respect his feeling and relationship with her. I just hate feeling like I don't belong in their family. I don't know why I'm complaining; it's not like this is a new thing. She's always been self centered...I guess I was just hopeful that it would get better after we got married. Boy was I wrong.

On another note. I decided on furniture today and I will be ordering it tomorrow! I can't wait to get it!! I even found a free shipping code that will save me $100. I went back and forth between cherry and maple and decided that the cherry is prettier. If we have room in the nursery, I'm going to get the tall dresser too, but for now this is what he will have for his furniture. Now I just have to decide on a glider.

I've been very domestic today. I've vacuumed the whole house, including the basement. The kitchen is clean. AND all the laundry is done. Well, I have one more load. This is huge considering I did nothing last week b/c of those cramps. I cleaned the hardwood floors and dusted. I dont' know what's come over me.

Pray for me.

>Maybe it's me?

>I was talking to one of my friends today about baby gear and mentioned that instead of Josh's grandmother helping out with the crib, I'd rather her get me a carseat or high chair. I went on to say that I was not sure if I'd have a shower. She is a SAINT and says that she will do it. I mention that I would ask my MIL if she'd want to help out. I call her (the mil). Here's how the conversation went.
me: Hey
Her: Hey what are you doing?
me: getting ready to vaccuum
Her: oh
Me: I was just talking to Kelly and she wanted to know if you'd be interested in helping her out with my shower.
Her: What, your what? (hateful tone)
Me: I was just talking to Kelly and she wanted to know if you'd be interested in helping her out with my shower.
Her: uh, I guess so. (annoyed)
Me: well, if you don't want to, it's fine. We were just wondering.
Her: yeah, it's fine. I'll call you later. I'm at the store.
Me: Ok, bye.

I wanted to say, bitch, act NICE. If it was a shower for Josh, she'd have a damn petting zoo. The worst part...IF she does decide to help out, she will be very nice to all of my friends. It makes me look like such an asshole. I think she forgets that I have NO family here. Just her, and I really can't f'ing stand her snotty ass. It pisses me off so badly that I could just cry.

On a good note...we got our stimulus check today! I'm buying baby furniture! I'm very excited about that!!

Now I'm going to go vacuum and clean my stairs. My house suffered last week with those cramps!

>From Fabric to curtain and blanket?

>My lovely sister came over this weekend and she is great with a sewing machine. Me on the other hand, not so much. UNTIL, she gave me a lesson. With her help, I made a set of panel curtains and a blanket. I am very proud of myself. With the left over material, I can still make a few pillows, a lampshade cover and who knows what else!
