What a week!

First lame thing of the week-
So... a couple of weeks ago we got a really sweet and cute puppy that named Mae Be. She was perfect up until a couple of days ago. She started snapping and attempted to bite in an aggressive way (not a puppy way) at the girls. This happened a couple of times, and was pretty scary. So... in talking with some friends, a dog trainer, and the girls we decided to give Mae Be back to the breeders. So sad. (Side note: this is the second puppy we have given up. Not so lucky with picking the right dog). Also, we will not be getting another puppy for a very long time, no matter how much my heart aches for one. Done! At least for a while.

Second lame thing of the week-
Our car has been funky the past couple of months. It has a hard time shifting gears, and kind of jerks. So we finally take it to the mechanic (whom we totally trust) and have avoided taking the car in only because of the dread of hearing the amount that it will take to fix whatever the problem is. So... we take it in, and they say $3,500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? It needs a new transmission and other stuff. So after we picked our jaws up from our feet we had to figure out a plan. Talked with the folks, and got a second opinion from another mechanic and sold our gas hog family car today. Bye bye Ford Expedition. Hello, fuel efficient car that makes us happy.

So that is the good thing that happened this week, we got a new car that we feel really great about. And can save money on gas, finally! And the other good thing is that the girls are doing well with Mae Be being gone. And to be honest both Jon and I are relieved and the girls can go back to being relaxed and not fearing the dog.

This week I have eaten more cookie dough, drank more coffee, taken a shower only once, and have never loved my bed so much! Praise God it's over! Yeah for Friday, and the weekend! Cheers, to next week! Toodles.
