Listy Friday

It’s Friday. You get a random list. Surprised? Didn’t think so!
– Wednesday night Isla slept for 4 hours straight, which means I too, slept for 4 hours straight. Except I woke up before her (as in not to her fussing as usual) and panicked because she wasn’t squalking as usual. My first thought? “OMG MY BABY’S DEAD.” Of course, I check her and she wasn’t, and then she woke up to be fed. Ah well. Those four hours of sleep I got were amazing.
– Also, how is my kiddlet already 4 weeks old??? Ridiculous.
– Daphne had some crazy medical issues which resulted in a crazy-expensive trip to the vet. As it turns out, she had some kind of infection. She’s on antibiotics and is doing sooo much better. For the first couple days, she looked like a zombie-satellite dog.

– We have been having the strangest weather lately. It will be sunny one moment, and then we’ll have torrential downpours the next. It’s annoying, especially if I have plans to walk anywhere.
– I’m impatiently still waiting for my E.I. to kick in. My ROE was filed late, which is less than ideal, and now it’s taking forever for my claim to be processed. Balls.
– Next week I am determined to hit up the Saturday Farmer’s Market. I have a hankering for fresh produce and BANNOCK.
– My mom’s house doesn’t have air conditioning. I have no idea how she survives in the summer. I have a hard time at my own house sometimes and I have air conditioning.
– My blog has really been neglected lately. I just don’t have time to blog! I don’t know how other moms managed to keep blogging regularily with a newborn. When I have a spare moment all I want to do is sleep. Maybe I’m just not a dedicated enough blogger. Meh.

Happy Friday!
What are your weekend plans??

Day 27

Pets

Right now, I just have one pet in my house, and I think you all know who I’m talking about!

Ah, the spectacular Daphne!

Things you should know about my crazy dog:

  • She might be genuinely retarded.
  • She sounds like Chewbacca when she “talks”
  • She’s afraid of the furnace turning on, the vacuum, and any inanimate object that may move.
  • When bathed, she takes at least three whole days to completely dry off.
  • She has one speed when it comes to going to walks. She never seems to get tired and seems to pace herself.
  • She doesn’t jump, she climbs.

That’s about it for now. For a first dog (that I’ve actually had to pay all the bills for and such), she’s amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better puppy!

I’ll leave you with a photo of baby Daphne:

Six weeks old, the day I got her!

Tomorrow: Something that stresses you out

Day 6

A picture of something that makes you happy

A lot of things make me happy in general: pay day, food, shopping sales, unicorns, watching a spider die … But really, there’s only two things that make me the most happy:

They’re both there when I need a good hug, love me no matter what, make me constantly smile, and are both great listeners. (Kyle usually gives me more constructive feedback though, lol!)

I don’t know what I’d do without either of them! They just make my world go ’round :)

Tomorrow: My favourite movies
