Baby Peter

Well, yesterday morning Baby Peter hoped into the laundry basket I had on the table (empty) cried and jumped out. Thought that was weird so I went to check it out. There was a very small (pea size, LOL!) bit a urine on the bottom that was pink. Oh no!!

I immediately called the vet and got him right in (again). This time it was a different doctor and she wanted to keep him overnight and do a full work up on him to see what is wrong. Blood work, x-rays the whole bit.

I go and get him today but I called last night and he was doing well and the blood work showed nothing (good). The est. bill was $315 but she said I could pay that off as I was able too and not to worry about it. That was SO nice. I had JUST paid down the bill I had so at least that wasn’t on top of what I owed already.

The boys were a bit upset that he was sick again, they are always so nervous that we are going to lose one of our pets and in a way I am too. We all love Baby Peter though he can be annoying, LOL!!

Last night Joe won his wrestling match in the heavy weight division. The guy was over 30 pounds heavier than Joe and he won in 17 seconds! LOL!! Joe got home at 11pm and he had to leave at 6:30 this morning for another wrestling tournament. Chuck took him this morning.

Chuck tried to take the big truck but it’s stuck in the driveway so he took my car. I now have to take CJ to bowling, go shopping in Ashtabula, pick up Baby Peter and then get CJ and go home in the work van that has NO HEAT!!! ARG!!!!! I’ll live I guess, I told Chuck no big deal and to take the car. It’s an hour drive to the tournament. Chuck has to put the chains on the truck because it’s rear wheel drive and there is no weight in the back. Our driveway is a sheet of ice under the snow, which doesn’t help.

No School

Joe called from school early yesterday saying that they were closing school early and that there was no wrestling practice so he was going to go home with Dylan. I was glad that I didn’t have to trek out and get him in this weather! Dylan lives just down the road, so that’s nice! Joe ended up there till 7:30 because I wanted to go to bed and they hadn’t canceled school yet. I guess he could have just spent the night as school got canceled at 9pm last night.

Barb texted me around 6pm last night to tell me that they canceled quilting. So I knew the weather must be really bad. We really didn’t get a lot of snow but it’s blowing really hard and it’s about 14 degrees outside. I’m happy to just sit at home in the warmth. I have to leave the faucet on so that the water doesn’t freeze up. We really need to fix our skirting so that we don’t have to worry about it so much all the time. If I forget and the water freezes I’m in real trouble!

Well, since I got home from my mom’s, I have been finding jobs to do from odesk.com. Mostly, I have been writing articles because I know how to do that. I accidentally applied for a job that sucked! I had to write articles for $1 a piece! ARG!! I usually get $4-$5, well, I did the 5 and will refuse any more.

Hey Becky (my sister), you may really like odesk, you can find a jobs in accounting and bookkeeping! You may find some great steady work and maybe even some “off” odesk stuff where you can make more money. With your degree you’d be a perfect VA! (Virtual Assistant) Cha Ching!

They have tests on there and I’ve been taking about 3 a day but I don’t always do so well. I copy each question (by hitting print screen and pasting it into my photo software) so that I can find the answers later. You can re-take the test in 30 days and the higher you score the more often you will get jobs.

I got one job from a woman that didn’t have her credit card verified yet so she just pays me via paypal. Now that is what I like. She pays $5 an article and I get the money right away. Through odesk, you have to wait 2 weeks to get paid. I guess once you are making money it doesn’t matter as you get paid every week, just sucks when you’re just starting out. She gave me another order of 5 500 word articles for $5 each and 10 350 articles for $3.50 each. So, I have plenty to do today!

Last week, I tried take some pictures at the basketball game but they just didn’t come out. My lens just doesn’t let the F-Stop be low enough. The lower the F-Stop number the more open your lens is to let in light. Mine goes to about 4.5 and I need it at 1.5 so that the shutter speed can be faster. Ah, so I checked and lenses like that are about a grand! YIKES! So, not quite sure what I’m going to do. Bridget was supposed to come with me on last night to the game at the middle school but with this weather I said NO WAY! So, when the weather is better she’ll come and we’ll try and see if we can take any. If not I will save up for a better lens made for sports photography.

On Vacation

I am at my mom’s this week for a much needed vacation. The boys and Chuck can’t really say the same thing! LOL!! Chuck is taking his usual working vacation at my mom’s! He and the boys are installing a metal roof on her house while mom and I shop, play games, cook and hang out! LOL!

Joe’s ankle is really bothering him but he’s helping Chuck out anyway. More because Chuck is making him than Joe wanting too. He would rather be playing his Xbox with his brand new game he just got when we got down here “Black Ops”. He can walk around on it but it’s swollen and quite sore still. I’m glad he didn’t hurt it as badly as we first thought. I think he’ll be fine to wrestle this year, at least I hope so.

Today, mom and I are making lasgana. She told me this morning that she was the one that found this recipe. She was 14 and looking through either her mom’s recipe books or a magazine. She found it and it was called “American Lasagna” and she asked her mom if she could make it and her mom said sure. Back then, I guess lasagna wasn’t big and they had never heard of it and have never eaten it so they had no idea that this wasn’t “normal” lasagna! In my opinion, it’s MUCH better! Ever since my mom found that recipe they have used it and it has become a staple in my family and everyone on my mom’s side of the family.

Her new husband has never had it, so this will be his first time tasting what I call “real” lasagna! I think I will make some homemade dinner rolls to go with it and maybe some corn.

There isn’t a lot of room for food here so mom and I have been running to the store every day! LOL! Today I need to get some more milk and soda. Seem to be flying through the stuff.

Becky and her two girls have come over the past 2 days and that was a lot of fun! I don’t get to see them often, maybe only once a year if that. Becky taught me how to do my hair the way I’ve always wanted it to look but could never make it look like that. Apparently, there is stuff called “Bed Head” and it’s some kind of hair puddy. She made my hair look really cool! Now, to just be able to do that for myself.

Joe Got Hurt

Yup, went to pick him up at wrestling practice tonight and Chuck came out to tell me Joe got hurt and to take him to the ER. His left ankle got twisted up and it popped and cracked and swelled up HUGE! So, off we went with Joe wincing the whole way.

An hour later we find out it’s NOT broken, Thank God! Joe cried when he thought it was broken and had to be out the whole season when it hasn’t even started yet! Poor guy! But, Doctor came back said it was a bad sprain and he can’t put weight on it for 7 days. Has an air splint on and crutches. He’s in a LOT of pain but happy that he won’t miss wrestling, at least we hope.

Bummer that he got hurt right before we leave for NC! We don’t have my van so we are all sort of smooshed into the rental so this is NOT going to be fun!
