Living the dream...one day at a time

[wishing, hoping]

My dog's nails are black and I know they are long, but I don't can't tell where the nail starts and the quick ends. I would be afraid not only of the bleeding but also of the chance of infection. I remember when S was tiny I trimmed his razor-sharp nails and he wiggled (as babies do) and I cut too much and got a snip of his precious little finger. He wailed and it bled and I felt like the worst mom ever. When D was tiny I never cut her nails. I always used a nail file. Talk about taking forever! LOL!

And no, I am not using a nail file on the dog.

Any suggestions on the best price for an inflatable mattress for camping? I want one that is self-inflating and doesn't need electric in case we are at a campsite with no electric. I found one at Tuesday Morning for a great price, but they only had one, and I would like to get two. Under $40 would be great. Craiglist is iffy for that stuff because people want too much for it (listing it as "vintage") or it has a hole. Besides I am iffy about that since this whole bedbug thing came about.

Gonna have to come up with some things to do to keep me occupied while the kids have another seven day stint with their dad. I know I need to pack for our trip, laundry, vacuuming, etc with some fun thrown in as well. I need to make arrangements for our end of summer camping trip too.
