Starting off With a Bang

Well I am starting off the summer right with poison ivy, just my luck. While putting up the fence last week I had a run in with the nasty stuff.  So after a week of recovering to the severe allergic reaction, I have been trying to catch up on everything.. Meanwhile Evie has been teething and has been in and out of bad moods.

But I think things are turning around, even with all the drama and stuff. She is become a very good walker. Yesterday I got to go to her W.I.C visit. She didn't even cry when they pricked her finger. We have been doing lots of reading too. Her counting book is her favorite. Tomorrow I get to see her and then Saturday I hope the storms stop so we can take a walk. Then I can posts lots more pictures.

Sick Babies are No Fun

So Wednesday rolls around and at 7 am I get a text to see if I can come help. So I went over and gave Evie lots of TLC. I think she just had a cold and is doing much better now. After drinking her milk we slept on the couch for 2 1/2 hours. Then Thursday I went back over to play with her. We had fun outside in the sun and we even went to the park.

Today we worked on gardening. Evie was very interested about how the plants would taste. We planted oriental grass, rose moss, tomatoes and cucumbers. And then took pictures of the pink flowers and daises. Overall a good week.

Summer Time is Here

Today it was 90 degrees! I can't believe summer is already here. This time last year I had just come up with the money to move into the place that I am at now. I was super stressed on how we were going to move and how I wasn't able to help. It's funny how live has drastically changed over the last year.

The visit went pretty well today. I brought over a cute summer outfit for Evie and had plans to bath her. She kinda had a runny nose today ( I am finding out now she was indeed sick) So we took a steamy bath to try to help her. I clipped her nails and got her all groomed up. She helped me go through boxes in the basement, searching for summer clothes for her. We found her some tops but it looks like she needs more bottoms.Also she is taking a few first steps from point A to point B! Overall a good visit. I had hoped to go to the little park up the street but it was to hot outside by then. I really didn't think it was gonna be so hot today. but hopefully her cold will clear up and we can play and plant flowers on Thursday.

Happy Mother's Day

 

( Evie laughing as I make noses)

Time to reflect on the past week. Tuesday Evie came over after my mental health test. That day had a weird air to it. I think it was mainly because I was so stressed out. Although I was up all Monday night cleaning, Tarzan claimed my place wasn't clean enough and wanted to leave. ( I had a foster dog at the time) So yeah there was some pet hair but it really wasn't all that bad. Come on people.

Wednesday the doggy got adopted by a lady I met out on the trails. I was so excited for Bella. She needs a good home. I worked with her for almost 3 weeks, training and socializing her. She is a very  good dog. I decided to do this for this special dog because I spend 2 hours, almost everyday, on the trails.

Thursday before going over to see Evie, I dropped off Bella with her new parents at the shelter. It was very bitter sweet.Then I went over to visit Evie. When I got there she was asleep so I starting working on my Mother's Day gift to send my mom/ Evie's Grandma. We got her a Chiefs hat, Massage Envy candle, a little pot/ vase that we painted and a sweet card with a butterfly necklace. When Evie woke up she helped wrap things.

Saturday Tarzan agreed to come over here and we went on the trail! It was a lot of fun. We just did the 1 mile gravel loop. Evie loved it. She was just so wide eyed looking at everything. I know when she can be back with me we are going out there all the time.

Sunday! Well I had to work and then Tarzan was taking his mom out to dinner. So 7pm rolls around and I can finally spend time with my baby. To top it all off this is my first Mother's Day and it should be special. but sometimes it is what it is. Evie was super fussy and tired because I guess somebody had her running around all day and then she went with them to dinner.

But I did get to take a few pictures of Evie. She went to sleep around 8:30pm. So there you have it I, Evie's mother, got to spend 1 1/2 hrs with her on our special day. At least it was something though. Also I am gonna try to keep up with posts. The plan is to post Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
