Nothing of Any Substance

Thursday afternoons are normally my grocery shopping afternoons. Not yesterday. Nope, yesterday I spent an hour in the vet's office with Daisy (a.k.a. crazy tail chewing dog) trying to figure out why she would (1) chew her own tail off and (2) is now chewing and licking her feet and legs. After an exam, because you know they have to get an exam in there, and a lot of discussion, we decided she needs allergy meds. So now, in addition to everyone else in the house, Daisy is taking allergy medication. Hopefully, this will help, but seriously why would a dog's allergy meds cost more than a kid's? It's not a rhetorical question. Someone please explain it to me. I'm all ears.

We also need groceries now, but I spent all our money on the dog's medication . . . I'm just kidding. I have money for groceries. If only I could get someone to go to the store for me. Then life would be much, much easier.

We went to a birthday party for my friend's little girl tonight. She has two little girls, one who is turning six and one who is Andrew's age and goes to school with him. They swam, and after having another stretch of 100+ degree days, today was actually in the mid 80s. Which was wonderful for all the parents, but the kids were freezing. Not to worry, it didn't stop them from swimming, blue lips and all. Seriously, Andrew's lips were blue at one point. I made him get out of the pool, and that made me widely unpopular with my son.

Speaking of cooler weather, I'll take anything below 100 at this point. This has hands down been the hottest driest summer I can ever remember. Anyway, our forecast has nothing higher than 96 in it, and there are even some (small) chances of rain. I'll take it.

I'm so tired my eyes are crossing, so I think I'll hit the hay, hit the sack, catch a few winks, sail off to dreamland . . . we studied idioms at school this week. I could go one for awhile. Instead I'll just say, goodnight everyone!
