Good morning all!!! It is another beautiful Colorado morning. The sun hasn’t made it’s appearance yet, so the sky is dark steel with a silver sliver of the moon.  The the air is crisp and all of our flowers made it through the snow. Hurray!
Our little old friend gave us a scare night before last. Â When I arrived to her home at 9:oop.m. she was very pale…her tummy was hurting….she was really warm, her BP was 189/109 and pulse was about 88. She wouldn’t let met take her to the Doctor..she had an appointment already scheduled for 12:00 yesterday. Â I made her a cup of tea and got her situated and headed home. Â I then called the nurse help line…no help at all…and then called L.O.L back to check on her one more time. She was all settled in and Bunkie was nestled up on her lap, so…. she said she would see me in the morning. I prayed many times for her to make it through the night and feel better in the morning. Â The power of prayer truly is amazing.
L.o.l. looked much better in the morning and of course the docs couldn’t find a thing wrong with her. Â Maybe a bad bout of food poisoning…I hope not from dinner with us.
The boys had a great first day back to school. They didn’t lose any of their reading and writing skills over the break and of course their social skills are still in top form.
The oldest had soccer practice last night and the youngest went along to play with friends that also have older brothers on the team. Â They ran Dad ragged and when I walked in he said, “They are all yours”. Â The boys had been waiting for “Breakfast for dinner”, so I got busy making hash browns, bacon, pancakes and eggs for our little munchkins.
The boys were super happy I was home from work…It’s so nice to be missed. Â They walked down to give the dog his shot and had a lot of trouble getting to sleep. Â It was well after 9 when they finally settled down. Â I know 9 doesn’t sound like “Late” to the average bear, but when ours don’t get to sleep by 8 at the latest on a school night…they really are “Grouchy bears” in the morning…..Not a fun way to start the day. Â I am letting them sleep in as long as possible.
I’ve been throwing the ball for the dogs in the morning and also right before bed….walks are hard to get in these days, but the ball is a nice consolation for them. The Lab has yet another ear infection, so I have to get some ear wash from the vet sometime today. I am off work at 6, so maybe on my way home.
The wind is supposed to get up to 60mph today…can you say..”Awnings up”> I am not a fan of the wind…a breeze is nice, but 40-60mph…not fun. There are still fires burning here and the wind certainly won’t help the fire fighters….we could use a good rain.
Dad has another busy day to get everything wrapped up in time to go to CA for the “Big bash”, and of course, he is the after school care for the boys again today. Â Good luck Daddy!!!
I am of to get lunches made and breakfast started….
God Bless and Thank you for keeping everyone safe.
