Today, I started stressing a bit with party stuff: getting the house ready, the yard ready, the activities ready, the food ready, and etc. I want Piper's birthday party to be so much for the kids! I really hope it will be. John just asked me tonight if we were going to dress up like people out of an Alice in Wonderland story. I looked at like he was crazy...trying to throw something else at me in the last few days. I think he'll be in a top hat...who knows, he may have our balloon maker and face painter stand out as well. Not me though...I am going to be comfy....no costume. That guy is crazy!
John is still working on the lil' fence. It's coming along quite nicely.
And I mulched the front gardens. It's been years since I've mulched & I had forgotten how much is needed. We'll have to make a trip to Lowes to get more.
While I was mulching, I came across a lone little ladybug. I LOVE ladybugs. I heard some where a long time ago that they bring you luck. I don't know if that is true or not, but I like to believe it...makes me feel good inside. And, it's weird, but there is usually a ladybug around me when I am stressed. The 1st high stress time I saw one was in the waiting room at Methodist when John's dad was in the hospital. I thought it was odd to see one in a hospital. But I felt that little lady bug came to tell us that everything would be okay. And I like to believe that when I see one when I am stressed that it's just trying to remind me to slow down and and remember things will work out and be okay.
So, I love seeing ladybugs! And now, I have a little luck in my garden. And a little ladybug watching over my blood pressure.
Oh and Maggie went to the vet today to get her shots. She did great! And she weighs 19.6 pounds. Not as big as they thought she'd be by now though. They are now thinking that she may be a cattle dog/rotty mix. Who knows. It doesn't matter much to me anymore...all I know is that she's the perfect mix for us.

I was talking to E's teacher, who works alot with animal rescues, and she we were talking "dogs".
I told her we think we finally decided what we want...a Dobie.
She said they were great, mixes are better and that Rotty mixes are awesome.
So I told her about Maggie and how wonderful she is....So jealous.
awwwww, you guys are gonna get a dog!!! Yay!! We can have a doogie playdate! Maggie will be so happy.
I'll keep my out on puppies for you. when you get one, what age do you the pup to be? John thinks I am crazy, but I still look everynight for the perfect boxer to bring home.
