One Week To Go

So we are officially one week out from the wedding and well I had my first major, tears included, freak out moment. It wasn't really a bridezilla moment but more of a Pam is trying to do too much and without enough time, no priorities moment. As most people know I have quit my job at 3t and will start a new job when we return from our Honeymoon on March 9. So last week I didn't work, which was amazing! I didn't really sleep in, but I did sleep till 7am, which was AMAZING! However somehow the week filled up with errands, dog walks, vet appointments, laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. Now it is Saturday and I officially went nutso about my list I had of things to do. Here is the list...

1. Instructions for Julia (she is watching our house while we are gone) - was supposed to do this Friday but ran out of time.
2. Contact info and dates gone for the neighbors
3. Instructions for the dog - could probably do in Oregon
4. Schedule and tasks for Ali
5. Print out and organize vendor stuff
6. Print out schedule of week
7. Go to the Dump
8. Organize the garage
9. Library
10. Finish Sanding
11. Schedule one last fitting
12. Laundry
12. Boarding Pass
13. Pack Kaiser toys and some food
14. File and organize papers
15. Pack!

So as you can see some of this stuff isn't really pertinent to leaving and that is what I freaked out about. Trav and I have still been working on the office we started over Chirstmas. We finally got the drywall up a couple weeks ago and did the step of joint compounding the sems, on two walls and the whole ceiling. So this week I figured sweet I can finish sanding and we can be that much closer. So I totally underestimated how long it would take to sand, because I sanded both walls of drywall, the two walls that the original owner had plastered over and textured, YUCK, and the ceiling. So finally today we are done sanding BUT with it came me crying, frustrated and now freaking out about getting everything else done before I leave. Not my best decision but it is what I thought I should do. So I am trying to calm down, stop stressing and focus on the things that need to be completed or me to leave. Not the things I would like to be done before I leave. So this eliminates well not a whole lot but it makes me feel better :)

So one week to go and I am back to my list!

Dogs..............................................

So today has NOT been the best day for me. It started out great. I took the dog for a run, hit the gym, worked on crate training Kaiser and all in all I was happy. Then 2pm happened..............

At 2pm I left to go pick up a rescue dog who had been in boarding in LoDo Denver, which is downtown. In the car Kaiser was being a BRAT, wouldn't stay in the back, whining, etc. Just totally annoying me to the fullest. Then we get to the boarding place way late, pick her up and she is HYPER. I know I made a big mistake bringing Kaiser now, but I was thinking oh good Kaiser can hang with me, get in a good play time at the dog park and it will be all good. So we get to the dog park and we drop off the dog and get her adopted and life is good. Then we get home and somehow either the dog we got from boarding has puked OR my dog has puked and either way is eating it in the mack of our Magnum, exciting times start now.

Knowing we are leaving on Sunday for Oregon I call the vet immediately and we now have Kaiser on deworming medication, I call the owner of the other dog and they are getting dewormed. Now as I sit here at 1am I wonder if Kaiser was the one with worms or the other dog, either way, someone had worms, one puked and they both could have it now. UGHHHHHHHHH

So I run by the house, drop the dog off, go to the vet and now I have to go pick up a surrendered Weim that we are letting stay at our house until tomorrow at 10am before she goes into boarding. She is very calm which is a nice change, but very very very overweight. She comes into the house, only one minor squabble as we dish out dinner, otherwise it is a smooth introduction. Then around 9pm, the surrundered weim throws up in the kitchen, at least there, what appears to be a very large 6" long, 2" thick portion of a TOWEL!!!! I am annoyed even more now and just decide to sit on the couch because well all I want to do is watch Grey's which I only get to watch the first hour, not the second, he Blazers are on.........

So now here it is 1am and yes I was up till 2:30am yesterday, and I am blogging when I should be sleeping. So I am woken up about twenty minutes ago as Kaiser is now puking in his crate in our bedroom! I know he has worms now so I immediately jump out of bed, drag him out of the crate, bring him and the crate to the kitchen, and the other dog now, and am now washing the blanket he puked in, cleaned out the inside of the crate and took him out to the bathroom, which is not fun at 1am, when it is snowing, I have to follow Kaiser around to pick up his poop in my pajamas, because well he has worms and I can't leave it there for him to eat in the morning, and I have a dog who is weirded out by the snow and barking at it, AT 1AM!!!

So I am tired, but yet not sleepy so hey I will get to watch the end of grey's I missed, hopefully sleep a little because I start a very very very busy day tomorrow trying to wrap everything up because I leave for Oregon on Sunday.

16 More days!

So just a quick note to say hello and just say 16 more days till the wedding! See you all there :)
