Tock Tick...

Yes, I know it is generally Tick Tock, BUT I swear the clock is running backwards today! The weather sucks, it is snowing AGAIN and so all of Hinckley are holed up in their nice warm homes (or frozen in their beds maybe) and not venturing out to my lovely work to keep me company. Of course church doesn't get out for a bit so maybe that's where all the locals are and its just the usual tourists I am missing but it is making for one loooooong day! HUZZAH! a truck just drove up! It's super jumper frank, looks like he must have run out of fuel somewhere and hitched a ride to fill up a gas can! that's not a good thing in this weather. I call him super jumper because that boy can jump in volleyball, he just doesn't know the rest of the rules and breaks most of them! hahahaha He can jump though.

So what has happened this week... Well we never did find my keys. Maybe there will be a miracle and they will have been found by the time we go to volleyball tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath though. Hopefully we can find a place to make a spare. This only having one single key to the car is enough to put me on edge knowing we are going to lose it! :-)

I should be using this time to finalize my report for convention and finish reading and taking notes on the others. but I just can't get into it. Ok, so I'm going to HAVE to do it soon, the meetings are in two days after all! DOH! I am so not looking forward to it. Hopefully I get a better attitude once we are on our way... or once we get there... or hell eventually! I am totally looking forward to our family vacation in November though! YAY! The only part I worry about is the kids missing school, but we'll get over that I'm sure. I'm excited to go and we have some fun things planned I think plus we always have a good time just screwing around in the arcades. I am SO going to beat Colt at Basketball this year! I have about giving up on any of us ever beating him at the air hockey tournament. Grrrrrrr One day, we shall topple the kind of air hockey... one day I tell you, one day.

lets see what else.. we had Bella's last day of training for this session I had contemplated taking her to advanced but right now its not going to mesh with our schedule the next while AND I think there is a better option. Our main problem I want to resolve right now is her social problems. I had thought of taking her up to doggie day camp, where you take them drop them of for the day and they play all day with the workers and other dogs. Sounded like the perfect thing for her. BUT, I was worried about how it would go with her being so shy. I talked to our trainer who then brought in the lady who works in that area and we discussed it and they think it could be a good thing. They aren't worried about her social problems and so I think that's what we are going to do for a few months. take her up on Saturdays and leave her for the better part of the day so she can interact with others AND even better do it while we aren't there to "protect" her. This next weekend I will be gone, but I think we will take her up on the 25th for a test run and see what happens. I really hope it works. She is probably the neatest dog we've ever owned but I really want her to like people and other dogs too instead of just us.

The boys are back from hunting. They didn't get anything but snowed on but hopefully they still enjoyed it. Colt was talking about next year already so I guess they plan to go back.

what else... hmmmm..... I guess I'm running out of things to do to procrastinate so I guess I'll go do reports.

Church must be out! I see cars moving around out there! YAY maybe
