injury

wednesday evening we are all snuggled up reading on the couch when he decided that he needed to see who it was walking by our house. now, he usually has to comment on the variety of people that walk by, but for whatever reason this time it seemed quite urgent. hubby and i gasped and tried to stop him, but it was too late. as he jumped his leg smacked against the coffee table. there was a small yelp, a look of pain, and then a sudden need to just sit. i think he was stunned a little. we finished our books and headed up stairs. of course he needed help up the stairs but got settled okay in bed.

the next morning there was as lot of moaning while getting out of bed. now, he usually offers a serious of moans and grumps, but this was more than the norm. we noticed that he was favoring his leg. we usually tell them not to jump off the couch so i'm sure he didn't want to complain too much b/c he knows the rules. anyways - hubby loaded him up and took him to the doctor (we were down to one car - another post). they asked if they could x-ray if needed. of course we said yes.

princess and i waited patiently by the phone. finally there was a call that it was just a bad sprain and bone bruise. they wanted to watch him for a few hours b/c of the shot for pain/swelling they had given him and then he could come home. talk about relief!!!!

so hubby brought the car home to us and princess and i headed off to pick him up. he was definitely ready to come home. we got him all comfortable on the couch. provided a snack and some water to drink. he was definitely going to love being babied for a few days!!!!

as princess and i headed to the bus stop i thought to myself, "can you believe you just did all of that for your dog?????!?!?!!!" yes, friends, it was our dog that hurt his leg. and yes, we actually took him to the vet, and yes, he has been quite the baby since. BUT he is back to his usual naughty self!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
