Well.
this is a long post. be prepared.
it has been a long week and a few days. Last we spoke I mentioned that I caught a version of strep so haneous….
dude it was pretty haneous.
it kept me home from work tuesday through thursday, and I am one of those people who beleives that sicks days are not for being sick. So I had to be pretty out of it to actually use a sick day for being sick.
anyway, the husbands birthday was last week – Feb 8th. Lately everything has been low key. We have done minimal things for birthdyas and holidays. I mustered up the energy to clean our room, which was a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING. I brought out the big guns, I asked my mom to help me. And oer the course of an ENTIRE DAY. We got that sucker clean. And it still is.
We also went to dinner with a friend For Jerrys birthday , every few years aparently Jerry is due sushi for his birthday, and this year someone else abliged. He had dragon rolls, and soft shell crab, and barbequed eel, and all of his favorites. he looked like a sedated cat for two days.
Then he ate all the left overs, I am still waiting for the ‘I’ll make that up to you honey..’ make up – on that one, cause there was enough leftovers to you know sedate us both and he simply clowed them. However I was very glad for a friend to really do soemthing nice for him, His friend Giken is the other person who thinks of nice things to do for Jerry and does them, and came by with birthday wishes for him as well. Giken comes by pretty regular just to talk to him, so he doesn’t get lost in parenting and husbandery and gets to just be Jerry sometimes. And I love him for that.
I took Valentines day off work, so I could go to Cammys class party. We had a good time. Her NaNa went with me and we took candy and trinkets and pizza and Cammy had a chance to show off her Mommy. Her teachers say she is so much more lively when I am in class – this is the second class party I have gone to, they said she dances more whe nI am there, and is way more relaxed in general. shes like a little ladywhen I am not there and a toddler when I am. I figure shes busy taking care of things when I am not there and trusts me to do it when I am there. So then we had the daily drama.
Anubis – my big arsed red dog. my Clifford sized red dog,
ATE
MY
BRA
Back track. ON valentines morning, I woke up and found half a bra on the floor mext to my bed, my room as I previously mentioned was clean so it was blaring there on the floor. when I picked it up I noticed it was only half a bra.
“Jerry, um. Anubis I think he ate my bra.”
Anubis looks up at me like, can I have the other half?
Jerry freaks out and is like “If he ate it – the whole thing the underwire will rip up his tummy.”
my first thought was this dog is too happy to be struggling digesting my bra.
my secong thought was we can’t get him to eat his dog food in one sitting over the bowl we serve it in. Our dog picks up two or three peices of kibble and moves across the way to eat. I can’t beleive he swallowed any part of my bra whole. So I’m like we honey take a look around and it will turn up.
Not another word was said about the doggies late night snack. I took the husband to work, dropped the kid off at school, and started to being my nifty day when I get a call as soon as the mall opens. It was a conspiracy I tell you!!
“hey you need to take the dog to the vet RIGHT NOW. the Dr. said anubis could have swallowed the bra and it may have punctured his tummy. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM TOTHE VET NOW.”
“Jerry, the dog didn’t eat that bra, I’m tellin you. but you want me to take him I’ll take him.”
So I go all the way home. and pick up the stinkin dog, and take him to the vet and drop him off and they give me this estimate, which is like 170 bucks to xray the dog.
can you say hell to the naw!!!
i’m like I’m going ot find that damn bra – I’ll be back. So I leave the dog there – in case he like falls out on the way home -cause I could be wrong in all of this- and I like my dog I don’t wan thim to die, and I go and find the bra – roughly two seconds after I start looking. This is the same bra I asked the honey too look for before we left for the day.
Right.
So I make the call to the hubby, and i didn’t say “I told you the dog didn’t swallow the damn bra!!!” just a simple, “I found it ,call the vet before htey do the zillion dollar xray.”
We have also seen the coming of the new child, We went for our first ultra sound and much to my sister and grandmother dismay, ther is only ONE child. I am mildly disapointed that there aren’t two, but could we have handled two? prolly not with much grace. But I was so looking forward to naming my boys. Alas now we have to decide if Jerry Henderson IV or Charles Henry _______ Henderson works if its a boy, and __________ Katherine Ann Henderson if its a girl. I think the kid needs a zillion names cause Cammys got a zillion names.
Happy belated valentines day, people
