Bring On Spring

March 5, 2009 By kelly 4 Comments

I have an extra pep in my step this morning. Maybe it’s because I worked out last night and then actually got to bed on time. But, maybe it’s because we’re getting ready to get some springlike weather in the next few days. Today, it’s supposed to get up to 65 here. By Sunday it’s supposed to get up to 75. Glorious! I love spring. I love the warmer days, the blooming trees, the flowers – all of it. It’s such a great time of year. (We won’t mention the one down side – pollen.) I am already looking forward to getting outside this weekend. We can work in our yards, get some fresh air and just enjoy it. I cannot wait!!

As I mentioned yesterday, our cat Dasher got “fixed.” I am happy to report that he is doing great. He was pretty groggy when he came home, but he is rebounding nicely. He’s still not his usual dashing self, but he is moving about and he’s also holding down food and water. Yay!! I bet by tomorrow he’ll be at full tilt again. We’ll see. Here’s another picture of the handsome little fella:

Mariana and I are working a bit on potty-training today. Nothing too strenous, but just working with her interest level. Right now I have a timer set to go off every 15 minutes so that I can ask her if she needs to go and/or take her to the potty for her to try. At this rate, I may have her training to go whenever an alarm goes off. Pavlov anyone?! 😉 

Guess what I did yesterday?! I dressed up like Clifford the Big Red Dog at preschool. Yes, I really did. I donned a big heavy costume and waved to the children coming in from the car pool line. I also visited some of the classes. I did this to promote the book fair.  It was actually quite fun. I will say, however, that I have  a new found respect for mascots. Not only are those outfits heavy and hot, but it’s also quite difficult to see when wearing one. Still, I enjoyed it because of the happiness that most of the kids got from seeing Clifford. It was really cool to visit Mariana’s class and watch her reaction without her knowing it was me.

Mickey and I have a date night planned for tomorrow night. I am so excited! We’re thinking a classic date of dinner and a movie would be nice. Any movie suggestions?

Well, the timer is about to go off again. That’s my cue to close it up for now. Besides, I really REALLY need to whip this house into shape. I should get back on the Motivated Moms system again…STAT!

Happy Thursday,
Kelly

Thank You, Spay Georgia

March 4, 2009 By kelly 2 Comments

Macey got a kitten for Christmas. She named him Dasher. When Dasher came to live with us, he had feline pneumonia and didn’t feel well for about the first week we had him.  With medication and lots of TLC, Dasher has bounced back and really lives up to his name. He’s a feisty little fella these days. He has been a fun addition to our family.

Today, Dasher is getting “fixed.” Thanks to Spay Georgia we were able to get a reduced rate on this procedure. Spay Georgia is a non-profit organization dedicated to the humane treatment of animals. They also have a goal of preventing more unwanted pets by providing low cost spays and neuters. It’s a wonderful organization! Highly recommended! If you would like to learn more or perhaps donate, check out the Spay Georgia website for more information.

Here is our Dasher:

Hopefully everything will go super smoothly today and we’ll have him back this evening. He’ll probably need a day or so of quiet recovery, but I’m sure he’ll be back to dashing in no time at all.
