I guess I'm just having problems lately. H was going to the store to get dinner and I asked him to get a couple other things cause we are bare, and he kinda threw a little fit and I said that s3 and I don't have anything to eat and just get something for us to eat 2morow. well, I'm very nutritious conscious and he had said he wasn't going to go shopping...well, he did end up shopping and had all this junk food and it just stressed me out. I wish I wasn't like that, but I do not feed my kids junk and he bought a huge box of corndogs (something we've never ever bought), and other stuff and I'm just like yuck. why are you spending money on stuff I we won't even use and if we did, we'll have to just buy more food to compensate the bad stuff we eat.
okay, I guess I just need to blow some steam. I tried not to say much about it (although I'm sure he'd say otherwise) cause he said he didn't want to shop and he was trying to find easy things for me to make. I just don't understand why it has to be crap he picks out. I guess he did get some bananas. I know, this is little stuff. I'm probably just more irritated because I'm still in pain and frustrated about not being able to go to the store myself.
now his ftball team is losing so I need to be nicer!
and thankfully my s3 just feel asleep on the couch after whining about wanting a waffle.
now I need to find some good things to mention. hmmmm. H worked on the fence some more this weekend. he took the dog for a walk with s3. He drove me and the kids to church and picked us up. He cooked steaks for dinner tonight.
This is where I need to take your example Nikki... I always seem to see the bad things instead of the good like you seem to do. like when I was typing about the steaks, I was thinking, ya, except he gave me the one with the most fat in it. Why do I think that way?
I guess I still have a lot of work to do!!!!!

okay, my perfectionist behavior once again steals the day. H has been trying to build the fence but just having problems. the posts are level perfect for the gate and he just can't figure out how to make it work, the fence boards were put practically in the dirt so the gate will have to be 2 inches higher just so it can swing out, or else dig out the dirt in the way, and of course I have to point stuff out and he says, just call somebody tomorrow and have them make it, I can't do it. so not very good on my part. so I did say that the fence looked really good and I really wouldn't know what to do either. I mentioned looking at a neighbors fence and we did that and he feels more confident in doing it again now.
I like being a perfectionist in the fact that when I do something, I don't do a crappy job at it, but then it's annoying when other people DO a crappy job and your a perfectionist looking at it finding every little flaw and it bugs the HECK out of you! although I am over the crooked boards in the back from when my dad and H did that part of the fence 2 years ago.
I'm crazy. it'd probably help if I was getting out doing things. I can't wait till my back is healed enough again so I CAN do that again.

my boxer pup's eyes look a little red. they've had a little "eye boogers", but not excessive. should we be concerned??
thanks!

First off you are really sweet to say that about finding the positive. That is something I've worked HARD on. I used to always see only the negative, too (or dismiss the positives in "favor" of the negatives). Thank you!!
About the pup... hmm.
With red eyes my first two thoughts are allergies or conjunctivitis (yes dogs get it too). It seems like every boxer I have ever known seemed like it constantly had red eyes, so I wonder if boxers are more prone to that.
On the "eye boogers" - are they pretty "dry" or kinda sticky? Also are they yellow or green, or just a kinda brown/gray? (sorry to be gross... but it makes a difference!). Every dog I've had or known got "eye boogers" too... but the brown/gray ones were no biggie, while sticky, green or yellow may mean an infection.
I'm thinking if the "eye boogers" are nasty it's probably pink eye... if not, more likely allergies. Of course not a vet! This is just going off dogs I've had and being a dog lover.
If you suspect allergies maybe you can ask the vet about trying a small dose of Benadryl and see if it helps. I'd check with them for dosing and such though - would hate to guess wrong and overdose, especially a pup. My dog used to get allergies sometimes and half of a kid-size Benadryl worked great. And as a bonus she liked the grape chewables so I didn't even have to force pills down her.. she thought it was a treat!
If it's an infection you'll probably have to take him in and get some eye drops to clear it up. Oddly enough I've found it pretty easy to do eye drops on dogs... they don't love it, but I almost think it's easier than giving them pills they don't want.

I'm not sure what color, he doesn't have any right this moment, but if I remember, it mighta had a tinge of yellow. We are going to have to find a vet to get his next shots I guess. He's about 10 weeks old now I think.
I do still have my baby fishies, but their diminishing pretty quick. I've found the problem and it IS the vent. I saw several getting sucked in while the parents were oblivious. I think one time so many got sucked in that they didn't know what happened and they looked like they were searching frantically all over the tank for them! I did put a sponge around it, but it doesn't cover it completely and they are so small, so there's not much more I can do.
Last night I took H out to eat... well, with the kids... and I think he appreciated it. I was in a horny mood on the way home too, but by the time we got in bed 3 hours later, I was too tired, and so was he. I hate that. I'm really not like most women who complains of headaches or says no to ML... I don't think I've ever said no. but I know recently, well when I'm hurting more, I really don't have that desire, and I know that's bad.

Hope the pup's doing ok. Sounds like if he does have an eye issue it's not too bad, at least.
Aw glad you still have some of the fish but sorry that you lost so many. That's really sad! I wonder how you'd get around that.. only way I can think of is to put them in another tank with no vent or something, but that doesn't seem good for them either.

just took biggunz in to vet yesterday, they did all the shot stuff (not really sure I like that, but oh well), and he said his eyes looked okay, but if they kept getting worse then to have it checked again.
I could do another tank, but I think that is just too much trouble. It is sad about the babies, but actually having 50 babies in the tank would cause quite an overload! So it's probably best this way. There are 8 now, but they are twice as big, still under a centimeter, but they swim better, so hopefully they are strong enough now, or smart enough to stay away from it!
Not much to talk about today... hope everyone is doing well. It's getting colder here yuck! gonna make some popcorn balls for 2morrow, I LOVE caramel popcorn.

okay, as SOON as I got up from the computer yesterday and checked the tank, I saw 4. WHAT?!? oh well. I hope at least 1 survives to adult!

Awww man - well, I hope at least 1 makes it too! Guess now you know why they have so many babies, but sheesh.
Hope you had a good Halloween night and enjoyed those popcorn balls! I haven't had one of those in ages, just the mention of it brought me back to child hood.

Sheesh is right! although I did see that there are really 5 not 4, so thats good.
the popcorn balls didn't quite turn out right, so I just had to put it in baggies. still tastes the same, but not as fun. I remember my mom making them when I was a kid for halloween...brings back mems for me to.
