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...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
