My poor dog....if old age and ailments don't kill him, I probably will....on accident of course.
Once again Percy has an ear infection. I tell ya, with all the money I have spent on ear drops and antibiotics for that dog, I could afford a full tank of gas! Last night I was cleaning his ears out, getting ready to put his eardrops in. I had him in the perfect position, and got the correct number of drops in his ear when my eye caught something on the worn off lable of the drops. I could make out the words "one drop" which made me think, "That's odd. I know I'm supposed to put in 5 drops. I only put one drop of the eye medi....oh #$&%*@*!!!!" Yes, I generously filled his ear with eye medication. I quickly got the q-tips and toilet paper and wiped out as much as I could. Percy just looked at me like, "You really are stupid, you do know that don't you?" Anyhow, I eventually got the correct medicine in his ears....and he seems to be fine. Of course now I will have to explain to the vet on his next visit why he has 20/20 vision in his ears....
I left the house at 10:00 am yesterday and shopped all day long. I didn't get home until an hour before I had to pick wee one up at school, which gave me just enough time to put the groceries away. I did rather well with shopping and didn't over spend. JB looked in the pantry when he got home and said, "Wow, we haven't had that much stuff in there for a while." I suppose that was his way of complimenting me on a job well done. I went to three stores yesterday and got all the sale items I had planned on. Of course, even though I spent $50 less than usual, I made it up buying craft supplies at Lowe's and Michaels. I'm not going to say what I bought or what I'm making....because then I'll feel the pressure of getting it done. So, I'll just say it's really cute, and I'll take pics when I do my first one.
Today I need to clean and organize for our little trip this weekend. Since I only have to pack for JB and I, it shouldn't be to much of a job....yeah right. I'm the QUEEN of overpacking. (Sorry Lisa, but I'm knocking you off the throne! lol). I have really tried to curb my enthusiasm for packing as though I may be in the middle of a blizzard and a heat wave in the same weekend....but it's so hard! And inevitably, I'm upset with the clothes that I pack so I make sure to pack "backup" outfits. However, I'm never happy with what I'm wearing, so really, I should only pack one outfit per day and save myself the trouble of folding, washing, ironing all that stuff. JB is easy. I just pack his pants, ask him what shirt he wants to take, then tell him, "No, I don't like that one. Wear this instead." and I'm done! LOL. I'm hoping the weather holds out for the weekend and we don't feel the effects of the hurricane until we get home on Sunday. Mom is coming over to stay with the girls for the weekend, so that will be nice.
Okay, I'm off to clean....happy Friday!

Well I bet that is one dog that is NOT your best friend anylonger LOL POOR PERCY give him a hug for me. Now maybe you ought to put a colored mark on the eyes meds or draw an eye on one and an ear on the other. Just like grade school honey LOL See we really are regressing. NOW about all that food. Do you know I just do not travel store to store. On occasin I do and get our beef bacon at krogers. But most times I have to takea cooler so i dont fool with it. Now last week I did hit save alot kroger and walmart. that is so rare. Problem is I never plan means anymore. I ve gottenlazy. Now my pantry is not that organized. Your doing good. the girls would just mess mine up. hope your hurricane safe girl.
Percy is adeorable!! He looks just like my TwinkieBear. Its not a stupid look..its the wonderful golden look of "OK....where is the next party??!!" LOL
The eye drops in your dogs ear was unfortunate, but not as unfortunate as spraying hairspray under your arms instead of deoderant - yes I've done it! Loved looking at your cupboards. I think the film with the straight cans was "Sleeping with the Enemy" with Julia Roberts and the nutty husband. I hear there was a hurricane in Florida, seems like it passed you buy - thankfully! Take care and keep organising (it makes me feel better to know that at least you're doing some even if I'm not!)

Hello...
Just wanted to add an comment, I found your journal on Amy's
(sugar,spice and everything nice) and decided to read yours. I'm sorry to hear about the dogs ear infection just as bad as a lil kid having the same problem. Mine used too all the time then we there younger. I also have an journal on aol
http://journals.aol.com/pepsidrinker76/Everydaysissues. I'm an 28 years old and a mother of three kids 8,9,6 been married to their father for six years, and were still together. Good job on grocery shopping and I hope you have a good trip.
I'm the same way with packing I pack tons of outfits ever when my kids come with us but with my husband just throw some jeans,shirts in there and he is good...but he needs socks,underwares too and then he gets pissed off if I forgot somethng he wanted lol. Oh good luck with the hurricane I hear it was pretty bad but we live up north in Michigan...so no worries about them here...just tornados but we dont alot.
Well I need to finish laundry here, so I hope to hear from you and more on your journal feel free to write me at Pepsidrinker76@aim.com have a good day take care
Have fun:)

Just a quick tune in to see what you're up to & I find you mistreating a poor dumb creature! Nevermind...he'll get over it & it will reinforce his idea that dogs really are superior to humans!!
