more stuff

this week i have managed to steam clean the carpet in my living room.
my nice new carpet had 4 pets stains on it.
i thought we were over this really, but our little dog goes thru these times where she protests her "daddy" being gone and she pottys on the floor in the middle of the night. sleeping with the bedroom door helps b/c she can't get out of our room and she won't get up -most of the time. but sometimes i have to leave the door open b/c the cats will just cry in the middle of the night to go out or come in.
i actually got all the spots up and the steamed the whole room. it all came clean.
the next morning i went out to start the coffee and was greeted with a nice fresh pile of poo sitting right in the door way to our living room -on my clean carpet. :(

i have also swept and mopped the kitchen and gone thru the 2 boxes of maternity clothes that have been sitting at the foot of my bed for a month waiting to be sorted into piles of "won't fit already" and "too big but can make do til they do fit."

vacuumed my bedroom.
today i'm going to steam clean the carpet in there.

and today the new baby bedding is coming. it's already out for delivery! YAY! i'm going to wash it and put it on! even though i'll have to take it off and wash it again probably b/c i'm sure the door will get left open and the cats will sleep in the crib or i'll just decide it's dusty and needs to be washed again before i can put the new baby. but that can actually wait for a while b/c we'll be using a bassinet for the first months or two in our room.

i guess i'll also be going to target soon to look at the throw pillows and a new dust ruffel.
but that may wait too. i might decide to go see my mom this weekend. it's supposed to be cold this weekend again and i just can never seem to get warm at home when TJ is gone.
it's weird. i know. he's just one of those things that makes me feel cozy. guess that means i'm cold alot.

oh, and David Cook. the new american idol guy from i guess last season or whenever -yeah i don't watch that show either. his single "Light on" i love it! i bought it off itunes this morning. it reminds me of my life a little. i leave a light on all the time when TJ is gone. it's just one of those things......

Just start making her sleep in her crate, or change her feeding schedule so you control what time she poops and that it's not in the middle of the night. Like no food after 3pm, or something...

yeah. i usually abide by this rule.
it's TJ that puts her bowl down all day long.
hopefully that was a freak accident for her as since TJ has been gone she hasn't been eating at night -which is what she prefers. she didn't touch her food this morning. i finally put her out after getting tired of waiting for her to eat.....

I noticed that she kind of snacked all day/ate at night when you guys stay at Mom's. If you could get TJ to quit free-feeding her all day, she'd trim down a bit, too. You're right to give her some time in the morning to eat, then remove that opportunity from her. She should eat on your schedule, not force you to feed her on HER schedule. Just keep picking the food up after 15 minutes if she hasn't eaten any. Sooner or later she'll cave in. She won't starve in the meantime.
