The ins and outs

My car stalled the other day. Not fun and while I have trusty Bruno (the 15 passenger van) I do like to drive a car that doesn't require a loan to fill the tank. We are guessing it is a clogged fuel filter or something. And yes, to those who mentioned it to me.....we put gas in it.

Cricket ate about seven eggs that she stole off of the counter. They were unwashed and direct from the coop. So after several days of her having a constant stream of......hmmm....output, a call to the vet was placed. I really like the folks at Caprock Vet. It is very easy to explain my issues to them without sounding like I need a huggie jacket (comes with the men in white coats). We are guessing that dear Cricket has salmonella posioning. When I went to pick up the meds for her, they casked if Holly needed some as well. I replied no, Holly doesn't steal eggs, she steals crayons. Her philosphy is, eat crayons and poop a rainbow.

My Mom's dog is also having out put issues and it was a bit of a hassal to get things straightened out. Apparently our town of Portales, doesn't sell kaopectat in pill form. And you can't give dogs Immonium AD. Mom's dog is stressed because Mom had the nerve to visit my sister in sandy Eggo. Haven't seen her and the kids for a little over a year. The one time the poor woman tries to take a vacation.... And apparently Tess (the dog) had her issues when Aunt Claudia was visitng over at my place. This is very unlike Tess and I am sure her guilt over that is making her worse.

Oh, and I am not officially the worst mom ever. I was driving the kids over to Mom's barn to feed her horses. Being in Bruno, James decided he didn't need the seatbelt while off the road. I stop, sliding a bit on our fresh rain (thanks, God!) and SLAM! Face, throat, nose and chest into the front dash. I will have a lot of fun explaining those bruises to CPS.

And how was your day?
