Week Eighteen, Day Two and Lots of Craziness

Today was destined to be "one of those days." It started out rough and just got worse throughout the day. Andrew and I were dachshund sitting for my father-in-law, so we had five doxies from Sunday night through most of Tuesday. We have a full size bed and two people and five dogs in it. It didn't make for the best of sleep. On Tuesday morning, I took the dogs out as usual and fed them. Then most of the five of them decided to poop on the floor. As soon as I got one mess cleaned up, another mess was found. I finally threw them all in the bed with Andrew, so I could get ready for work.

Work was also rough today. The kids were all hyped up from Halloween and candy the night before. I spent most of my day getting kids to settle down enough to learn a little something in my class. My stomach hurt most of the day, but it was especially bad in the morning. I had planned to take Wednesday afternoon off to go to the endodontist, so I told the office I'm taking all of Wednesday off since I feel sick. I stayed late after work to type up additional sub plans, since I had no prep time yesterday.

When I finally made it home, it wasn't long before we had a doxie emergency. My father-in-law took our Sebastion, along with his two Boo and Peter, home with him for the afternoon to run around in his fenced in yard. Well the three dogs worked together to move some chicken wire at the gap of the bottom of the fence and the ground and escaped into the neighbor's yard. Peter decided it was a good idea to run even further away and went into the next yard over from that one and got stuck in the yard. My father-in-law got Sebastion and Boo back to his house and went back for Peter.

Andrew and I took Peter and Boo back for the evening since my father-in-law had to go out of town again. Peter threw up two times and it was pretty bad smelling and weird looking, so we decided to take him to the vet. They took x-rays and found he had quite a bit of stuff  in his stomach, so he had to be induced to puke again. They found a nice combination of poop, sticks, and leaves in his stomach. Looks like someone had a little too much fun while he was sitting alone three houses down in some stranger's back yard. It was after 6:00 pm when we finally got done with the doggies.

The high point of yesterday was that xfinity had Monday night's episode of The Sing Off on already, so I watched that in an attempt to relax after my crazy day. It was a great episode and all the groups did a great job. I'm loving Pentatonix, Vocal Point, and the Dartmouth Aires. My favorite group was already voted off- North Shore.
