Crazy Busy

August 15, 2008   Filed Under: Babysitting, Dogs   145 words

I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t even had time to login and delete my spam. I have three e-mails from Despair that I haven’t touched yet, but thankfully I found the time to deactivate my account. I’ve been babysitting and cleaning. I’ve also been taking care of the dogs, of course! I still have plenty of cleaning to do, though, believe it or not. The car, my room, and a few of the areas that the dogs love so much.

I bought the dogs K9 Advantix because I found a huge tick on one of the dogs while she was on Frontline (and it was just a week after the darn application!). Now, hopefully, there ain’t no bugs on them. Because bugs on them means bugs on me. And bugs on me means “bye, bye doggies!” Lol. Just kidding…or am I?

Right Things Slash Wrong Things

I’m talking about prices. The stuff that we want to buy are too expensive. And the stuff that we don’t really want or moreso need, for that matter, are getting cheaper. I’m talking about airline tickets to go to funerals, food, gas, and cars. Who really wants to buy a new SUV now? Even if it is 1/2 price? I bet you I’d scoop it up if it went to $800 though! I was looking around for the cheapest tickets to Jamaica and they are ranging from $450-a little over $2000! I saw a few for $366-388, but then you have to wait at the airport overnight for a connecting flight.

And houses! My mom was looking at foreclosures in our area and they are getting really low! Some of the communities near us are in foreclosure with 4br/2ba for less than $80,000. I’m talking single-family, standalone homes with private backyards. Definitely beats the townhouse with a shared little strip (I don’t even think you can call it a backyard). And prices will probably go lower!

Well, like the AllState guy said, “If this isn’t a recession, it sure feels like one…”

Whatever

Yeah, that’s what I said. My mom’s really good news was kinda squat, I think. I don’t think it will pan out. My sister’s going to Jamaica for two weeks, and I’m jealous. I just don’t have the time to go right now. One of our cousins was murdered, so she’s going to attend the funeral and then stay for a little vacation before school starts back in August.

Ah, to be young and worry-free! I remember when I was her age and didn’t have to worry about anything. I could take trips to Canada and Indiana and pretty much wherever without worrying about losing out on money. How I wish I could be a stress-free kid again!

Dogs are amazing little animals. Just don’t get one if you don’t have the time to let them go potty. Trust me, you don’t want to have to clean up dog poop that the dog has run into and spread all over the house. We take ours out at the MOST every 6 hours to be sure we don’t have any unexpected messes. It surely helps that there’s quite a few of us living here, so someone’s almost always home. We also put them on a feeding schedule (right now 8AM and 8PM since the Pekingese is on meds), but then we’ll change it to maybe 9AM and 6PM since I want to sleep in later and go to sleep earlier and I seem to have become the “feeding lady.” Which means I’m the “walking lady,” too. I’m the only one who doesn’t see walking them as a chore, I think. But maybe that’s just for now…
