interesting week...

It's Sunday - the last day of my stay-cation with the hubs.  We had an eventful week of new things,   quiet time, drama and just hanging out.  We managed to have to get up to an alarm every day but one on this vacation lol.  However, we brought home our bulldog pup Ripley - who is definitely keeping on our toes, we bought a new van, had a birthday party and a cousin sleep over, a zoo trip and paddle boats.

The van purchase resulted in reporting a dealership to the BBB after they tried to rip us off and resulted in the manager calling to kiss our asses the following day (after we purchased from a different dealership).  Byers Kia is awesome by the way...

Even though there was drama from the girls mom, it's not something that brought us down.  It is, as it always is.  We are resourceful, and we are prepared... it's nothing out of the ordinary. Games are best played with opponents who DON'T play the game better. Just sayin' ;)

vacation fever

Well... staycation fever...  One more work day (after today).  So excited.  Jerod and I are taking time off together for once, and we are still taking Kingston to school and are not asking for the girls for a week of our extended parenting time.  It will be just us, and the pets.  We hope to accomplish getting Ripley acclimated to life at our house, and then just get out and do things together.  Lunch, movies, and going to the gym everyday.

I am really looking forward to it.  I also hope to get all of my sewing projects done.  They are building up!  I have three purses to sew (already cut and ready for stitching), a dress, a make up bag, a dog bed and now a Hulk blanket for Kingston, who patiently accompanied me to the fabric store after being at Children's after his 'boo-boo' yesterday.

Kingston was very excited to tell the guy cutting the fabric that mommy was making a bed for Ripley.  I am not sure that the 17 year old employee really appreciated how excited a four year old can be about a new puppy coming home. Though, I am pretty sure that my four year old had more self-awareness than this kid.

Let the two days go quickly, so that we can pick up Ripley, and then the following week needs to creep by :)
