What a Heartbreaking Decision!

Well, I found a really precious female dauchsand in my yard Sunday morning. I went out to get the paper on my way to church, and she just came right up to me! Needless to say I didn't make it to church! She was so cute! I put signs up in the neighborhood and at Petsmart. I was going to keep her, but Diamond didn't like her and barked at her the whole time. I did keep her overnight. I finally got her to eat and drink, and she wouldn't leave my side. She curled up in my lap everytime I sat down. She slept curled up next to me all night. I just fell in love with her. It did, however, give me some perspective on how HUGE my own dogs are! This dog was the size of Ranger's head! Since I couldn't keep her, I took her out to The Haven this morning. I cried a little when I had to hand her over. I did volunteer, though. I filled out the paperwork and will hopefully start sometime this week or this weekend. I will go after school for a couple of hours and feed them. This will give me something to do this summer so I don't sit home all day. I think I need to build a house out in the country so I can have as many dogs as I want. No animal deserves to be without a place to live and people to care for it. They are God's creatures and we should take care of them.

God did use this to show me something. He showed me that if He would watch out for a little dog like that one by providing food and shelter when it was in need, He FOR SURE would take care of me no matter what! Funny how God would use a cute little dog to drive home a point! I know the Bible already says that about Him taking care of the sparrows, but He made it real for me this weekend!

Random Thoughts...

I think I have the worst luck of anyone I know lately. I have pulled a ligament on the right side of my back and it is swollen. I can feel the knot when I lean back against a chair! I have no idea how I did it. I think God is trying to see what kind of character I have as a POOR person! It's a good thing I am a homebody!

On a different note...I CAN'T BELIEVE THE WAY GREY'S ANATOMY ENDED LAST NIGHT! I wanted to grab Dr. McDreamy and hug him! Meredith better not screw it up! I also think George and Izzy will get together. I think she will find out she is pregnant, so George and STUPID, FAT, UGLY Callie will break up. I just don't like her!!!! She looked horrible in that bridesmaids dress!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well, tomorrow is Friday and I don't have to go to work! YEAH!! I am going to a workshop, so I get to sleep in some. I am also going to Big Spring to see my mama. The dogs are very excited! They LOVE her. They pretty much ignore me when we are there. They stay clear of my dad, though. He doesn't like dogs. Oh well...

I have discovered a new GREAT show! It is called Traveler. It is pretty good and has cute boys on it! I think Jay the lawyer is the cutest one. It will be on at 9 on Wednesdays starting on the 30th. At least I will be home from working out by then! YEAH! A new hobby...

The WORST thing I've EVER Seen...

OK. I just saw the absolute worst thing in my life. I was out mowing my yard when a white Avalanche comes down the street. It stopped suddenly and backed up. When I looked up again the drivers and the people who live in the house 3 doors down were standing in the street looking at the DOG they had just run over!!!! I almost threw up right there in my yard! I ran over there and the guy asked me if I wanted to see it. I, of course, told him no. I did tell him that there is an emergency dog hospital over by CVS on 34th and Slide. He said he thought it was dead. It was his dog and he wasn't even trying to save it! They did finally pick it up and lay it in the yard. I had to go inside because I was now sick to my stomach. I ran to my dogs and hugged them and kissed them like crazy! I am still sick about it. I can't even go out and finish my yard. I am NEVER letting my dogs out in the front without being on their leashes again. They love my friend Stacey across the street, and whenever they see her they bolt across the street before I can stop them. We've had a few close calls. NEVER AGAIN!!!! My only hope is that the dog died instantly and didn't feel anything. What would I do? I would be a basket case. These dogs are my kids, and I would do anything for them. UUGGHH!!! There but by the grace of God...

First of all...

OK. I was told that technically I am an intermediate in karate and not a beginner. So sorry MARTI!! (Ms. I am an awesome BLACK BELT!!) :-)

On a different note, I had a kid tell the assistant principal today that he wished I was dead! Isn't that peachy?! That added to my week and it is only TUESDAY! To top that off, the Rangers are losing right now to New York 9-0. As Charlie Brown would say, "Good grief!!"

I also found out today that I have to do an "abbreviated" radiation treatment for the thyroid cancer I had in August. Apparently, my first endocrinologist didn't do the required scan to make sure it was all gone, and now my symptoms are back. I will do all of this the week of June 11. That means I can't help with VBS at my church since I can't be around children that week. Usually April has been the month where bad things happen to me, but I am thinking May might take over that distinction.

OK. Enough venting! I guess I should be thankful for what I do have: a great family, two awesome dogs, good friends, a job that pays the bills, a roof over my head, food in my kitchen (even if it is full of calories!), clothes to wear (we should ALL be thankful for that!), a sound mind (for the most part), and good health. I know I could go on and on. So, I guess when I am feeling sorry for myself, I should sit down and list my blessings. There are always people out there who are in worse shape!
