My Favorite Day of a Travel Week


Today is my favorite day of a travel week for Joelynn. It is the day she comes home. I am so excited. For some reason I thought she was coming home on Friday this week. Last night, I signed on to the Delta site to check the time she was going to arrive on Friday so I could count down the time until she would be home. I usually start counting down around my 2nd favorite day of a travel week (2 days before she comes home). I was surprised I had lost track of her schedule this week.

I got the laundry room finished last night except for the sink. I moved all of the sheets downstairs and am using the laundry cabinet for the laundry that is waiting to be done. I know... insane idea. I moved the laundry basket into the guest room. I thought that might be a nice little addition so that if people are staying over, they have a place to keep their laundry.

The dogs had me up 3 times in the night to go out. They are totally shaking me down for treats. Jake has my number for sure. He barks once while he is outside so then I tell him to come in. He just looks at me until I tell him that I'll give him a treat. Last night, on the 3rd time, I told him I'd give him a treat but it was not going to be a good one. He didn't seem to mind. Instead of giving him a whole piece of chicken jerky, I split one into thirds and each of the dogs had one and I put the last piece back. They were cool about it. Then Jake went to bed on the couch and Petie jumped in bed with me. He uses his stairs when he wants to but mostly he makes me pick him up and put him in the bed. He has my number, too. I am a push over for the dogs.

Jake has a hair appointment tomorrow. I am happy about that. I always love him more when his hair is short. His long hair gives me the heebie-jeebies. It is like cotton and I hate to touch it. When he gets his hair done he looks like a little boy. It is darling. I need to clip Petie's nails, too. That is a 2 person job so maybe Joelynn and I will do it this weekend. Gage is a sissy and will not help because Petie bites him. Petie hates getting his manicures. We feed him scrambled eggs so he won't bite us when we do it. He still growls and shows his teeth but he holds back as long as the eggs don't run out.

We are going to the gun range this weekend again. We need to decide what kind of gun we like best so we can be prepared for our chick gun class on the 20th of April. I just found out that you are supposed to keep both eyes open when you are shooting. I have been aiming with one eye closed and then closing both eyes to shoot. I know I am a sissy. I will get used to it and be able to keep them open, hopefully soon. It is just so scary for me. I am totally intimidated by guns.

Braxton is going to come over for a couple of hours on Saturday. We are not going to have him stay over this weekend. We need some time by ourselves. We can't not see him though so we will just do a couple of hours. He is so perfect and fun to hang out with.
