The Hills - 8-7-08

I can't believe it's August! I am so ready for summer to be done - bring on fall....football, sweater weather, bonfires, pretty leaves, Rivermen Hockey, etc.

The Haps:
  • Work is crappy. I told Rob that I would like to quit my job and be a cashier at Walmart.
  • Sue and Godsie are helping us out big time next week! I have to be out of town for work one night (gone 2 days) and the next two days Justin's day care is closed. Rob can't really take the time off of work with his new job and I have 2 jobs due, so they are graciously driving down here to help us out - thank you so much!!!!
  • I have softball tonight - at 8:30pm and 10:30pm! That's past my bedtime! Oh well; I love playing!
  • My boss will be here at 9am tomorrow....should be fun after a 10:30pm softball game!
  • I got sick when I got home from Michigan - on Tuesday I took a nap at 4pm and woke up the next morning! I have the greatest husband in the world to let me sleep that long!
  • Did I mention I want to apply at Walmart? Or maybe marketing at CAT; that sounds like a fun job - think they will hire someone without a marketing degree and no experience? :)
  • I miss Katie - it's been over a week since I've seen her....come over soon!
  • Rob and I are building a fire pit this weekend - look for pics on Monday!
  • Our neighbors took their dog to a shelter. I understand on one hand that yes; they have a new baby coming in a few weeks so that would be a lot to take on, but you accepted the responsibility of a dog. They adopted her when she was a cute little cuddly puppy and then they did not take the time to train her, so of course she's not well behaved. They don't learn on their own. So yesterday she went to a shelter - and not a no kill shelter; those were all full. Rob and I did everything we could to find her a home, but no luck and we sure can't take another dog. I cried a lot yesterday thinking about her because she is now one of about 50 other black lab mixes at a shelter that euthanizes about 20 dogs a day. Sad. What is that teaching your kids? If you accept responsibilty and then decide you don't want it anymore, just find a way to dump it on someone else or get rid of it? Shitty.

Okay - enough for now....gotta get back to work.

Have a great Thursday!

Sorry to hear about the dog and the crappy job. I agree about the responsibility issue. That's too bad.

Hey there. Don't work at walmart, at least find some place where you can get sweet discounts? Best Buy? Sorry things are so crazy for you right now. Sounds like you have a nice relaxing weekend planned though. Build you fire pit and drink a beer:)

Wow... I've never agreed with anyone bringing an animal to a shelter...ever. It is your responsibility once you adopt a dog or even purchase one for that matter. That is such a sad story. There are so many stories like that, but I suppose there are the good ones too. Kevin and I adopted both our cat and dog from the humance society. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
