1. Surgery went well and so far recovery is too.

2. Friends that offer help, bring meals, etc and never bat an eye.

3. Zoey’s ears seem to be getting better (double ear infection). Strangest part is her ears have laid over since we adopted her in October, now with treatment her ears are standing up like a typical Yorkie’s do.

4. T3 or Percocet induced sleep. I’ll take what I can get when I can get it.

5. I actually ate chicken for dinner last night and it went down. Yay for real, nutritious food!

1. Menu is made, groceries are bought and I don’t have to go back until after Bryan leaves for New York.

2. The monies for a quick weekend getaway this past weekend for some non-home family time.

3. Two 3 day weekends in a row.

4. My BRCA results came back negative. So that means, my breast cancer chance is only about 20%.

5. My husband who keeps me warm at night and loves me even when I am not very loveable.

1. We found a pet door we think will work for Zoey and our ginormous sliding patio door.

2. Bryan and Jacey are changing the oil, installing new brakes and rotating the tires on his car this weekend and on my truck next weekend, so I won’t have to worry about it till he’s back from TDY.

3. I am finally on the last Sookie Stackhouse book. Please don’t write anymore…LOL..and please tell me book 11 won’t drag as much as book 10 did.

4. Naps.

5. Fun stuff planned for the weekend.

My daughter is a character, through and through. So full of personality and life. Unfortunately, with that also comes the inability to predict ANYTHING that is ever going to come out of her mouth except “I love you”.

A few days ago Bryan and I were discussing a recent mugging/shooting in the area. Jacey was asking questions, which then prompted us to ask her what she should do if anyone ever tries to mug/rob her.

Her response, “I’ll kick them in the balls and run.”

After a moment of stunned silence and a small scolding for using language like that, she responded with, “Sorry Mommy” and then in an almost whisper, “but I would”.

We had to explain to her that wasn’t the right response, but I couldn’t help but laugh later. First I had no clue she even knew about the whole balls reference (apparently kids at school were using it back in 2nd grade?!) and second, right or wrong, that would be my response too.

She definitely has her Mommy’s tenacity and attitude.
