Tuesday Today

It was a busy busy day today! Conner got here at 7:30am. He drank his milk and ate a banana and we got in the car with the dog and drove to the vet's office. Pepper (my dog) had his routine grooming appointment. Without a groom every 6 weeks he starts to transform into some fuzzy creature with out eyes to be seen!
Much to Conner's dismay we left Pepper at the groomers and drove across the street to Parkway Plaza which is a large indoor mall. None of the store were open but it is one of Conner's favorite places and I always take him there when dropping off Pepper since it's across the street. I bring my quarters and allow Conner to ride every one of those cars, trucks, planes that he sits in with that big grin on his face while it shakes and she steers that steering wheel.
Then we went into Walmart as I got a few things that I needed.

I had packed Conner a sandwich and juice so he ate his lunch and then we headed home. He made it about a mile and was sound asleep in the car seat.
I carry him in and lay him on the bed.
while he sleeps I throw in laundry and check emails and catch up on the TV news.
He wakes up just in time to go pick up his brother from school. Kyle gets in the car and it's now 30 minutes before time to pick up the dog and Kyle is hungry as always after school. So we drive to Wendys and get chicken nuggets and milkshake.
There is a fire at a construction site down the street so we sit in the car and watch the firetrucks while they eat their yummy meal. It was nice of those firetrucks to entertain them for 30 minutes. I'll have to watch the news later to see what the fire was all about.

So we then drive to the vets office and pick up the dog who now looks like he's lost 5 lbs from all the hair that is gone. Conner is very happy that we didn't give him away to these strangers in the building.

We drive home and Jim is taking his Tuesday afternoon nap because he bowls on Tuesday nights. Since he gets up at 1am and gets home at 2pm he needs this nap.
So I get out the train set and the boys play quietly in the front room for an hour and then their dad gets here, Jim gets up, Lance and the boys leave, Jim leaves..........and now I have the place all to myself to have full control over the remote and all the snacks in the house while the dog sits in front of me and begs for treats!
And as the dog and I sit and eat our treats we will watch The Biggest Loser of course! :)
