Yup... it's all over for another year..... waaaa! I do have to say that I am exhausted. It will be an early night tonight since I have been on the go since 4:30 a.m. I'm totally wiped since I've hardly slept the whole time I was away. But WOW.... what a 10 days it was. I didn't know my brain could hold so much information. Information overload is in full effect. I'm totally wiped.
There have been all kinds of things happening while I was away and as with any jam packed trip, I didn't leave with peace of mind. The first thing to happen to fowl up my nice trip was an emergency trip to the vet with our little Tootsie. We weren't sure what was up but he wouldn't let anyone touch him.... at all. So with very little to go on, we convinced a vet to have a look at him. At first we were worried about a blockage but when the vet said no we didn't know what to say. She poked a prodded and soon came up with the diagnosis that our wee dog had a bad back. Go figure.... fist me, then Teapot, and now the dog. However, this was no ordinary bad back. The wee guy had some paralysis in his hind quarters and only had a little felling back there. So a night at the vet's with xrays and the like were the order of the day. That all happened on the day I left. The worst thing was that it took all but $25 of the money I made off the jacket commission.... so Frankie receiveth and and Frankie giveth away. Then while I was away Nellie the freak sheep decided to have a surprise lamb. Yes... after two years of sterility she drops a lamb in the middle of the hottest weather. After the vet called Tootsie came home with liquid anti inflammatories to take for two weeks. He seems fine though a little subdued.
Daughter #2 won an awesome award for her contribution to the school in art, not to mention Academic Honours and Work Ethic Honours. Meanwhile Daughter #1 got Academics and Work Ethic Honours, and an award for participating in the Rick Hansen Paraplegic Awareness Campaign, Top student in Socials 8, Most Improved in Math 8, and a special recognition for greatest contribution in Science 8. I'm a very proud Momma. I wish I could have been there.
As for me and my trip?... well, I'm just too tired to write about it right now. Check back tomorrow, preferably later in the day, since I will be snoring peacefully in my awesomely comfortable bed till noon! At that time I will post lots of pictures and you will get to see what I have been up to.
