What A Week!

This week is Elaina's testing week. I gotta say, I don't know when the last time was that I posted anything on here. She's doing her SAT's out in Tampa at DW Waters.  Monday-Wednesday was Reading and English. Thursday and Friday is math. We missed Monday because I nor Chris had money for me to get gas to go out to Tampa. So, Tuesday she did the usual test with the other 1st graders plus she stayed after to finish the Monday stuff. There was two 30-minute sections that they did on Monday... Elaina finished them both in less than 10 minutes. This girl is going places. I got the usual talk afterwards about how smart she is and the teacher already knows that Elaina has tested into the gifted program. She said Elaina is at a 4th grade reading level.

So, Tuesday I got money and I brought Jessica and Ashley home with us because the school is only 5 minutes down the road from their house. I bought some stuff for our puppy: food and water dishes, toy rope, chewing sticks, T-bone treats, and this football/frisbee/rope thing. Check it out....

Chris also visited Lloyd and Joanne yesterday afternoon, since he was working out in Ruskin and they happen to live in Ruskin so I asked him for a better picture than the last one he sent me (which was also the first picture I've seen of the puppy so far), so he sent me this...

I specifically asked Chris "Can you PLEASE take a picture with nobdy in the background? Like, maybe next to the mom or laying on a blanket by himself?" and he sent me the picture above, so I reiterated myself and he sent me another one of the puppy sitting on his lap....

This boy needs some picture-taking classes. Lol. He has a NICE LG phone, I don't understand why he's not taking S6-worthy pictures. Whatever. I guess I'm probably not going to be able to see him until Chris brings him home. Just as long as we have a 100% guarantee that we WILL be bringing him home then I guess it's not the worst thing that I won't see him for another 4 weeks. It's hard but I will live.

Then there's Jessica's friend Katie who has a blue nose pit mom who is pregnant by an American bulldog dad. Her due date was apparently yesterday but Katie's kids keep running into Katie's bedroom which is where the mom dog has been trying to start pushing and they keep distracting mom dog and so she keeps getting delayed. I messaged Katie and to my relief, she messaged me back and was super nice and told me that they had brought her to the vet the other day and mom is dilated so Katie has been walking her daily to get things moving along. Katie already knows I am looking for a female so now it's the waiting game. Waiting for the puppies to be born and then waiting another 6-8 weeks before bringing her home (hopefully). I guess Pixie only got locked-up once so that's why she only had 2 puppies. I asked Jessica if Katie has felt on the mom's tummy to try to feel how many might be in there and she said roughly 5, maybe more. So, I hope there's a good chance that she might have a couple females. Gotta wish, hope, and pray HARD! I am just SOOO happy omigosh that Chris is on board with me getting a female to go along with his male :D For so long now, I have been wanting to get a male and female dog basically at the same time so they can grow up together and be lifelong companions. Now it can finally happen. I am so overjoyed.

Oh, and here's an update on my health: I finally started my period today. My last one started January 25th. And this afternoon at 4pm, I get to see my PCP, Dr. Elizabeth Biggers and I am seriously hoping she prescribes me some thyroid medicine. Fairy wishes and big kisses! XOXO
