Sunday we go to church, drop something off come home, sit down and have lunch, home for 30 minutes then back out the door to go see a house to rent, come home, home for an hour then off to Robert and Carie's house for Sunday night worship.
Monday starts off with Vader's apt. It was suppose to be his consultation just to see what was going on etc. Well, we figured we wouldn't feed him in case it was an easy fix (the vet that originally did the surgery said that could be the case), woke the kids up at 730 (of course it had to be the one day they want to sleep in!!! lol), out of the house by 830, which is good considering getting 3 kids ready and a dog out to the car, get to the vet, fill out all the paperwork and the off we go to the doctors. They take a look, take him back to get x rays, show us the x-rays, explains what we are looking at, asked if we fed Vader today, tell them no and they tell us they could do the surgery today!!!!!! And they even neutered him for free!!! (Since we told them we are definitely going to be getting it done, but honestly don't have the money to pay for both at the moment). Anyways, get the quote say bye to Vader and leave him there. We pay them what we could (which ended up being a little less then half of it, because this clinic was awesome and we have a payment plan with them) and anxiously awaited the call to pick him up. We get the call, go finish the rest of the paperwork for the payment plan, found out how much we owe (the surgery cost a little less then $700 and that was WITH the major discount they gave us and the neuter for FREE!!!), got Vader out to the car and off we go. We get home and the poor puppy thinks we are leaving him somewhere again and refuses to let me get him out. He turns his back to me, I go and try and pick him up and he puts ALL his weight on to the center console!!! Call Jarred to come help me and we get him home and settled. The lady we want to rent from emailed me and told me she hadn't heard from me (and we told her give us a week to talk to our landlord and see if we could get the money she was asking) and that she has someone looking at the house tonight. Of course we start freaking out because we WANT that house. That night poor puppy was so scared he kept waking up crying and looking around for Jarred and I. He ended up sleeping on me, literally, so I only got at most 3 1/2 hours.
Wake up the next morning, get the kids, out of the house at 8 to pick stuff up about 40 minutes away. Go to Target to get James a backpack, of course I had to get something small for Julie and Joce because they don't understand that James NEEDED the backpack for school. Anyways, got Joce a little $3 doll and Julie of course wanted $20 and up toys. I explained that right now we just can't get those and asked if she would like a princess shirt. Of course she does!!! We go through 4 shirts of her telling me, "No. That doesn't match". We go to the big girls section and I find cute pj's that have nothing to do with Princess and of course she wants them. Finally!!! (And score they were on sale!!! lol). Get home with 1 hour to make lunch, get James ready for his first day of school, make a name tag for his backpack, get an extra change of clothes ready and get him to school. Jarred actually came home which was AWESOME because he stayed home with the girls. Took James to school, waited with him, almost cried, walked him back to class and then left. Came home, cleaned some, had an email "fight" with the lady we want to rent the house from, told her forget it we were going to go with someone used to working with the military and started looking at other houses. Went to pick James up from school, came home, got the email where she said she wants us to rent it (she had already told the people we were going to rent it) and to come to the meeting tonight if we are still interested. Make dinner, clean the dishes, go to the meeting, sign all the paperwork, hammer out all the details go home.
Wake up this morning, super tired. (Maybe its because I have had so many emotional things happen lately? not sure, probably). I came downstairs and literally almost fell over!!! lol. Cleaned up a little, tried to wake up, no luck. The kids woke up, made them breakfast and started really cleaning. Took James to school where he told me, "Ok mommy, you can go now!!" which made me want to cry, came home, Jarred and I sat down and watched Monsterquest (series on the History Channel, or maybe Discovery? .. REALLY good!!), cleaned more, Robert and Carie came over. Had a GREAT night with them, made me realize how much I have missed them!!!!! And about to clean the kitchen and go to bed.
Happy to report Vader is doing excellent!! He is actually putting weight on his leg!! And he is actually putting MORE weight on his leg then he ever has!!!! He still has some emotional scarring though. Jarred took him with him somewhere today (I can't remember where) and he was shaking for the first half. =( This dog really has some abandonment issues I think!! Poor puppy!!! But I can guarantee we are NOT leaving him ANYWHERE but here with us!!!! He has truly been a blessing to us!! Yoda we have nicknamed our pot bellied pig!!!! lol. He is getting so fat because he sneaks eating Vaders food!!!! We find out after a little bit but he was eating just enough to make him a healthy weight. But Vader won't eat his food unless its next to Yoda's dish. And even then, he will usually only eat out of Yoda's dish. So I never know when to stop Yoda from eating his food. Wow .. that confused me just writing it!!!!! Hahahaha
Have a good week everyone!!!!
