Welcome to the house of squeaky toys in A new start

I have come to the conclusion my dog wont be having puppies. Just means I will probably take her to the vet and see whats up once we move. I will try again to breed her next time she comes into heat. Maybe wait to see if that fails before I take her in for testing. I dunno. The new puppy is fitting in nicely here. She still doesn’t get left out alone with the big dogs. They are a little rough still. Give it a couple more weeks then we will try it for a short amount of time. My unaltered male is a little jealous. Although I really don’t do much with her, she’s my oldest daughter’s dog.

Last night my youngest was supposed to sleep at home. She did, eventually go to sleep but she fought it tooth and nail. Grandma just needs to say no more than once. I swear she has only slept at home a handful of times this summer. When she does sleep at home she goes to grandmas as soon as she wakes up. She usually wakes up around 6 or 6:30 so she is never home. It really irritates me. I still don’t know what I will do once we move. I kind of just want to be gone for a week with no contact and see what she does. Even if it’s just my oldest, my husband and I gone. I’m not above going places without her. Which, I know, is not right. I mean she is only 7. She doesn’t understand how much it hurts me that she refuses to be home. But whatever I’m an adult I need to just act like it doesn’t bother me. I guess my mom just wants a do over so my daughter will work for that. I understand mom doesn’t want to be alone but… she can change it. I’m sure. I guess I have a little (ok a lot of) resentment built up.

My oldest one’s birthday party went ok. I made home made brownies. They were passable. None of her friends showed up. Only family. But her dad and all her siblings were there. So that was good. My brother and my sister were there. I can see some growing separation in them. My brother doesn’t like my sister’s boyfriend. My sister is happy. My brother doesn’t think anyone is good enough, I guess. But then you look at his wife and well he’s the one who got a loser. At least she works, I guess. So yeah. My brother and sister didn’t talk to each other. My husband barely talked to anyone, neither did his mom. I tried to visit with everyone without leaving my husband. The kids all played in the water even though it wasn’t even 70. The 11 year attitude is irritating me though.

Yep. Kinda boring, I guess. Such is my life.
