Hi Ya’ll!

Saturday started with taking The Boy to guitar practice. I don’t think I haven’t ever seen his teacher, we will call him J, without a coffee cup in his hand. The guy must be jacked up! Anyway, he said The Boy was doing well. Next we hit Kroger to get drinks and candy for our movie date! We went to see The Croods.

As far as kid movies go, it wasn’t bad. I give it a solid B. The Boy and I’s favorite character was Belt. He was a sloth (we LOVE sloths) and was very cute.

After the movie we got a quick lunch and then headed home. I decided that I would work on The Boy’s room. Sometimes it is just easier to do things by yourself. Plus, I got to throw away a lot of junk! Things I found in The Boy’s cabinets, boxes and under the bed: 5 pairs of PJ pants, 2 shirts, one dried apple core, 6 random socks, 8 wash cloths and much, much more! But the room is done!IMG_2234

Today I will be working on the screened in porch. It is cover in pollen, as are The Kids right now, who are rolling their furry little bodies in it…UGH.

The Great Clean-Up of 2013

The following are some Before pictures of The Boy’s room. Over the past few months when he was told to clean up his room, he would just shove stuff into a corner, under his bed or in his closet. Well, Mom has had enough. He is about to be 8 years old and I told him he needed to start living like one. Tonight I worked on his closet and he worked on a few of his cabinets. One of them was full of shredded newspaper! It was like he was channeling his inner hamster or something.

We listened to the Avett Brothers, I drank some wine and he had a Throwback Pepsi (GROSS). There was no yelling or screaming. My Man will be proud!

This morning I took The Kids for their annual visit. Well, in Pandora’s case it more like her 1 year 6 months visit. Mom got a little side tracked there. Some Good news: Getting them in their carrying cases wasn’t to bad. Shout out to Simon who did wonderful! The ride to the Vet was a bit noisy but nowhere near as bad when I use to take Tommy. Panny was  the louder of the two.

We have been going to Paws Whiskers & Claws since they opened. The ladies of PWC’s are wonderful! The have helped us out on so many different occasions with our four cats. I highly suggested anyone with a cat who lives in ATL to go see them.

We decided that Panny would go first since we knew she has issues with getting her claws trimmed. We got her out of her carrier ok and although she was tense, she was ok. Well….for about 3 seconds. Then all hell broke loose! Dr. G had to call for assistance and then took out the gloves! Leather Gloves!!!

I had never seen these before!! They both wore them while one held her down, with a towel wrapped around her head (Panny’s), me tapping my finger nails on the table to distract her, and Dr. G clipping. There was hissing and screaming and fighting to break free. I was in shock! Panny was pissed! Dr. G and Ingrid didn’t bat an eyelash…well, maybe one or two but can you blame them? I was kinda loud.

Next it was Simon’s turn. He was very clam when we took him out and hardly moved when Dr. G clipped his claws. Such a good boy. That is until it was time to draw blood. Oh Hell No! He said. He started to freak! And then he lost all control. Yep, my cat, pooped all over the table while hissing, screaming and trying to break free. They ended up getting two people to hold him down while Dr. G took his blood. It was a mess! Like really! A mess! Poop on the table, Poop on the floor!

Don't Judge Me!

Don’t Judge Me!

When it was all done, I took them out to the lobby and of course it was full of people! Ugh! They all said it was ok, it happens with their cats, no judging. Yes, we were sooo loud that the people in lobby heard us loud and clear. There was judging…I could see it in their eyes!

I took The Kids back home and neither of them wanted anything to do with me. When I got back home later, Panny, came to say hi and Simon…well, I am still getting the stink eye from him.

Oh! Panny has to have a tooth taken out. Thank goodness they will sedate her and I will not be there.

Not our Pool!

Not our Pool!

On Tuesday Bob, from AquaVision, came out and discussed our pool reno with us. Who knew there were so many types of pebble surface’s to choose from! We also discussed the fixing up the patio, tiles and coping. Needless to say, My Man and I were very excited when he left. Of course we has yet to see the quote on how much everything was going to cost, that came on Wednesday afternoon. When I got the e-mail I started to hyperventilate! I am happy to say, it was the amount I thought it would be. Now it still is a lot of cash but no huge surprises. We are not getting all new coping, just having them fix and freshen up what we have and we are not getting my favorite pebble surface cause it isn’t worth the extra 4K…yes, it is 4k more! What!? What!? Today I will be faxing in the signed paperwork and hopefully they will start next week! I plan to photograph the progress and share it with you all!
