today (boring title)

last night I about freaked...I found one flea...

to everyone that knows me, knows how much I hate the summer I really H.A.T.E. it with a passion, the heat just zaps my energy, it leaves me felling crappy almost every day...this morning I woke up early and went out and watered both grasses (we just laid new seed) and I am determined to make it grow...I got my bed made and did all chores that would not wake up either hubby or son...and I was proud of myself...I even listed some more items on Ebay this morning while it was still cool...
I love this time to myself in the morning...it is cool and so quiet and I love it...
so Ross gets up this am about 8 and he always goes and gets the newpaper but this morning he got right in the shower and got dressed and I was like, ummm?  what is going on here?  and then he told me, "we're going to Wal Mart to get bug bombs, cause I know how much you hate fleas..."  he is right, if there is a flea anywhere near me, it will come looking for me...we have a bug service that comes once a month and does outside and we have Advantage on the dog plus a flea collar, but they still like my blood...

so we decided to go to Sizzler for their breakfast brunch before Wal Mart and Tim got up to go with us...I like their omelettes...
got our bug bombs and came home...
hubby of course went to bed for his 4 hour nap and for 3 hours I uploaded pictures to Walgreens to be developed...cannot wait to see them...this is how behind I was getting pics done...I wish there were an easier way...I had such a headache after being so intense on the computer and hubby wanted to go to the store, but I laid down instead and I think I actually slept for a little bit...
since it is so hot here today (96) I made tacos and princess came home just as I was finishing them and was starving so she was happy I made something she would eat...

princess is with her dad today and when she is gone I worry about her...last night she came home from her friend's house 2 doors up with a particularly bad migraine...she laid down and put a bag of ice on her head and fell asleep that way...as soon as Sam gets insurance Zoe needs to see her pediatrician...with all of her other problems we are suspecting she might also have a gluten intolerance...

hubby is trying a little more with me...after the 2 hospitalizations of his, we were not getting along all that well...I feel like he needs to take care of himself more and not end up hospitalized, but that is my opinion...all thru our marriage he has (or likes to think so) worn the "pants" in the family...but, when he is hospitalized so much, I have learned to do a lot more for myself and it is the Taurus in me that
makes me stubborn...when he is hospitalized so much, then I am in charge and I am not good at relinquishing the reigns when he feels better...we battle a lot over this and how he does not like to do anything around the house...if I can get him to do one chore, I feel extremely lucky...but, I also feel that say, I cook, then I should not be expected to clean up also...Tim does help a lot...
last weekend when MIL wanted to see her son, he told her, "make me up a honey do list and I will help you out while I am there."  he probably should not have said that where I could hear him...I must say that for the last week, instead of one chore, sometimes he will now do 2...and he did hold the baby a good part of the day yesterday while we were babysitting...
so, saying all of this, I am trying a little harder to get along better with him...

maybe better days are around the corner...
