I'm a vet too!

So now I'm a vet too.  All the things a mom is qualified to do and I've just added another.  No sick kids today, just sick dogs.  One died the day before yesterday and I wake up this morning to find another sick.  We wormed her this morning and gave her a bit of honey.  Let's hope she can pull thru. 

Is that a real Halloween costume?

When did halloween become sexual?  Halloween makes me think of ghosts, gobblins & pumpkins.  I imagine people in scary or funny costumes.  However, I see more and more costumes that look like stripper attire.  Cop costumes that barely cover the bikini areas seem to be very popular.  I find it tacky.  It's not restricted to the younger generation either.  I see women of all ages wearing these costumes.  I certainly don't want my little girl to think that's an appropriate halloween costume.  In our house halloween is just fun family time for trick or treating and dressing up.  I realize times have changed and progressed.  But does that mean we have to turn our childrens halloween fun into a rated R peep show? 

I'm a Newbie

So from my title you have already deduced that I'm new at this blogging thing.  Honestly, I'm not sure if I even used the word deduced correctly.  I sit here on my couch, a simple house wife.  My day consists of laundry, cleaning (constantly), reading kids stories, kissing bobo's, preparing meals, and trying to take online college classes (unsuccessfully might I add).  My life seems quite boring to most.  Actually, many call on me because in their eyes I have nothing else to do.  I watch t.v. and eat bonbons all day, YEAH RIGHT!  Don't I wish!  I long for nap time in hopes that I can actually sit down and relax.  But as most housewives/mommies know, that very seldom happens.  Either I think of a million things I can do during nap time or I'm trying to catch up on college work or I'm doing errands for others who work during the day.  However, unlike others who work during the day, I do not get off at any certain time.  Even when I'm sleeping at night I still have a full head of thoughts and concerns.  I wake up thinking of things left undone.  My husband often tells me I need to learn to say no and ask for help.  But that's easier said than done.  In my head I ration that God would want me to help others.  I tell myself God would frown upon  me turning others day when they need my help.  Asking for help is just as hard.  I don't want to put others out.  I know they've been at work all day/week.  I don't want them feeling like I'm taking advantage of their off time.  My computer has started freezing up on me lately when I'm on too long.  So for today, I will log off.  If you have any comments you want to share, feel free to leave them.  I'll do my very best to respond.  Thanks for reading!
