  • Another week..

     So, this has been yet another week..Yes, it's starting to cool off so yes, we are finally starting to venture outta the house a little bit. At this point, we're leaving the house around once a week all depending on when the hubby gets outta bed, when we get outta bed and what type of mood the little one is in when we get up in the morning. This week we went to Wal-Mart to pick up some groceries and sme odds and ends for Halloween then we planned on going out to Target on Thursday again to pick some groceries and hit up the Starbucks within the Target.

    Anyways, on Wednsday I ended up making some chilli and corn bread just so that dinner would be done, ready and on the stove at least because Logan had an HOA meeting and I had clue when he'd even want dinner or even be done with the meeting. So, I made the corn bread that afternoon..well, okay I made corn bread muffins and I must say they turned out wonderfully just by following the directions on the box. Once those were out I ended up starting up the chilli so that it could simmer on the stove for a while..all was well until I went to make the beef. Apperently, I grabbed the 2 lbs of beef which was suppose to be for my meatloaf..Urgh, Logan had to step in and help me because that kind of changed what I did last time to this second time making chilli. It turned out really well and we had the day planned out pretty well to where the chilli was done right around when I was getting the little one up from her quiet playtime and into a bath. I got her and me set up for dinner the second the hubby left for the meeting. At any rate, he came back inside to grab up something real quick and informed that there were other kids playing at the park and the little one could go..of course, she wanted to go but she wanted to go and not finish her dinner. It was a bit of a fight to get her to finish but she did finish her food and then I let her go to the park while I cleaned up the kitchen. I was just about done with dishes and some laundry right when the hubby came inside holding a dog. I said 'oh no! Not again??!!'..Yes, we have a thing for finding stray dogs..We've had four come to us since we moved here and all the time it's after hours when we know animal control isn't open. The real kicker this time was that it was a girl dog. We had this happen before aka a girl dog being found and we had to keep her in a bathroom until the owner came to pick her up. Well, this time we hoped the owner would come because the doggie did have tags. The little girl dog was also really well behaved..Kind of scared yes, but she was really well behaved and she was even potty trained. Of course, the hubby's meeting ran way too long and even the little one got sick of sitting at the park.

     

    So yeah, the meeting wrapped up at around 9pmish and then the hubby started making calls. As it turns out the one number on the tag was disconnected..The other number on the tag had a Do Not Disturb message on it and well, you couldn't even leave a message. The hubby tried to get a hold of animal control but of course they were closed but we knew they'd be open by 8am. Even though the girl dog was driving the boy dogs crazy we still decided to keep the dog overnight because she was just that well behaved.

     

    Anyways, the hubby called up animal control that morning and he did get a hold of someone after sitting on hold for about 15 minutes. They said someone would be out to us 'within 6 hours' aka we'd be waiting possibly an entire day for them to show. Yes, they did show up and they did take the little girl dog away. They also said they had chip scanners so thaty can scan her and try and find the owners..Anyways, here's a picture of the little girl...She's really cute and I hope they can find her owners or they can at least get her a new home if she was left behind by someone who lost their home in the neighborhood.

    Anyways, once the little girl dog was gone things went back to normal in the house for the most part.

     

    Oh well, right now I'm making banana chocolate chip bread with a chocolate glaze. It has another fifteen mintues on it right now and once it's almost cooled off I get to make the glaze and glaze the bread. Our friend is coming over on Saturday and now I'm contemplating making some talipia for tomorrow nights dinner with some really good mac and cheese..not sure yet but I've gotta decide soon so I can take the fish outta the freezer tonight so it'll be ready for tomorrow.

     

    Anyways, that's my ranting for this week..Until I update again...hasta!
