July 5-The "Black Hole" of Time

Did you ever feel that a day will drag so long and it will never end? Well, that is how today felt for me. The day began at 6am and I feel that it moved in 10 minute increments, because each time I looked at the clock only 10 minutes had gone by!

It is still SO hot outside, record temps for a good solid week now. Today's projection 102 degrees! Tony didn't work till the afternoon, so we decided to take both of the "babies" to the Dog Run...at 8am. Reagan was in the baby carrier on Tony's back and I took Molly. She was doing pretty well so we decided to let her leash go. She was pretty good at following us and not going too far, Molly couldn't wait to get into the water( Reagan really wanted to go in too, but that was NOT going to happen).  She saw another dog that was jumping in pretty far after his ball, but she wouldn't go that far! (Thank Goodness, cause I did not want to have to go and rescue her if she went under) We also saw two Rottweilers and they came right up to her to say "Hi". Honestly, it scared the living crap out of me, but they just gave a little sniff and took off! They were HUGE! This time, Tony got to wash off the dead bodies and I think that he will think twice about going to the Dog Park again. It is not easy washing that dog! She is a wiggler!

Very cool...I think that we might need to get a bigger carrier soon!

Great "action' shot! She slept the whole morning after this!

After tutoring, I picked up Reagan and we went to visit Great Grandma. Of course, she had to give Reagan a cookie. Then Reagan went up to the cabinet wanting more,
              Grandma says "Oh she wants another one?"
              I say, "No, she has to have dinner soon"
              "Oh just one cookie?"
              "No!" says the good Mom
               "Oh, how about Ice Cream?" says the innocent 86 year old
               "GRANDMA, NO!"
               "Oh, OK, I will get her a nectarine..."
Whatever...she loved the nectarine!

That is when I entered the "Black Hole" of time.

Earlier today, I had my "crazy wife" melt down. Thankfully, I do have a wonderful husband and he was very supportive of letting me be "psycho" for a minute. Of course, I will worry, but I just have to keep telling myself that "It could be worse." "We will survive" "No one wants to take our house anyways" (That last one was a bit of humor...)
