So today has seemed to have gone by fast!

Bob had a elders meeting this morning and got home for lunch. After lunch i made Bob play a Xbox game with me :) Then i headed to the store.

While i was gone Bob was able to build the potato bin-thingy that we wanted to try.

At the store i bought:

• Soaker hose for the garden.
• Paint for a game we are making for Anabel’s birthday party.
• Prizes that the kids can win by playing games and Anabel’s party.
• Material for the costume i am making for the Easter event our church is doing. (Hope i can make it look really good.) I think the material is a good choice, we shall see.
• Diapers and wipes.
• Some of the ingredients for desserts for Anabel’s birthday party.
• Some ingredients for Almond biscotti that i want to make for church.
• Clippers, collar, and flea medicine for Maddie our dog

Man lots of stuff to figure and thinking about when shopping… kinda was stressful but i got it done.

Then when i got home i started doing my plan to clip the dogs hair, wash her and get her ready to come inside.

Maddie has been outside most of time. We got her dog house build and the fence it all up with grass…. but…. since it is getting hotter i wanted to groom her and get her ready to start coming inside.

Her hair is so think and long that my clippers failed to cut her hair. So now her back is clipped but everything else is long… not the best look!

I thought i at least could wash her because of the storms and rain, she was quite a mess. Well for some reason this time she freaked out when i started washing her. It was all i could do to rinse the soap off i had put on her. Since she is so old it worries me to get her to worked up so i had to stop the bath.

I guess all i can do now is return the clippers and take her to a groomer. I don’t look forward to hearing how much that would cost but it needs to be done. Her nails need clipped to so groomer is probably the best thing for her. Let her get the work up. I hope i can get it done before next weekend when everyone comes over. I want her looking beautiful :)

That whole clipping/bathing failure experience was uber frustrating! So annoying! I thought i would have her clean and brushed and looking good and have inside by tonight. Now i will have to dish out lots of moolah before she can come inside. That’s how it is when you have a pet though, got to do what you got to do! And hopefully when she is ready to come in she would be messing in the house anymore… i have a hard time with that.

I hear Anabel up jumping on our bed LOL But she is being quite… usually she knocks on the door and asks to get out. She must be liking the alone time or something, she has been up there for awhile.

After dinner i’m hoping to work on that Almond biscotti that i want to make for church. I wanted to make it for the Saturday night pre-Easter service our church is doing, but i wanted to do a batch first to see if i can do it and get it to turn out good and yummy.

Wish me luck!

Well it’s time for me to go think about dinner!

Tootles!
