My twisted sense of humor found this video funny

My twisted sense of humor found this video to be totally hilarious. Perhaps it's the drugs from being sick, perhaps it's the lack of sleep...I dunno. There are two of them but for some reason the second one won't load.

Well, there you have it.

boobs. Operative word of the day is boobs. Apparently I can't breastfeed in public because of boobs and worrying about them being seen. Of course what I'm about to share is a very funny little diddy about my husband and I.

Wednesday dh asked for me to get dinner and meet him at work so he could see the kids. I agreed and made my rounds picking everyone up. Got dinner, got back to his/my office and was actually able to eat in peace for once. Well Marshall wakes and I tell hubby I need to feed him. He tells me I can't do it in their breakroom because enough people had seen my breast... :>O. Now I know he's not being serious but I'm curious as to what he means by that statement. So we proceed to have a discussion about how folks from his office saw them while I was in the hospital with little man. So we agree to go across the hall to my side of the building and go to my office.

So we get into my office and we are by no means quiet. We are all over the place. I made a comment about the hall light still being on and that someone must have forgotten to turn it off. I sit down, take out my breast and put Marshall to it. He latches on and eating commences. Well hubby is trying to help my daughter get on the pc to play games and low and behold a coworker just goes walking by. At that point, I'm sitting in a chair feeding my son, facing my door. He quickly turns his eyes away and just carries on. I had to giggle because this guy's wife has fed all three of their children by the breast. He was cool a cucumber about it thankfully.

The irony of it all is that now I have coworkers that have seen bits of my breast. :>)

It is with a heavy heart that I blog this:

It is with a heavy heart that I blog today. I've avoided this blog for nearly a week. In ways perhaps it has helped but in others it has not. We lost our beloved Topaz Friday 9/12. In the mist of preparing for a hurricane and dealing with a sick child, we had to make one of the hardest decisions a doggy momma ever has to make. Do you put your dear friend out of their misery, or hold on to them? Are you holding on for you or them?
I've always had a relationship with both my dogs that I felt was an understanding between me and canine. I feed you, you give me unconditional love. I take care of you, you take care of me. When I'm in need you are there, when you are in need, I am there. Both of my dogs have lived good, good lives.
Two summers ago, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. I had to put my beloved golden retriever down. She was 11 years old and my first baby. Very much a part of our family. On Friday, we had to make he same decision on our equally loved furry family member. It was with a heavy heart but the understanding that live had to go this way. Topaz was tired and I made a commitment to him to not quit him until he was ready to be quit. That sad day came on 9/12.
Goodbye old friend. Tenacious, crazy, fun-loving protector. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. I know you were told to stop doing the very thing that drove you often. Don't do this or don't do that. We loved you none-the-less! Even when you howled, talked, and broke windows to get to kitty-kitties, we loved you. We know you loved us too.
It is only fitting that this picture of you have a halo on your head. You were always the protector and the guardian.

well we weathered the storm.

Holy smokes folks. This was Ike as it prepared to barrel onto the Texas coast. It was a force to be reckoned with. NO joke. Inland 90 miles from Houston, we got our fair share from this storm. Sustained winds were around 30-40 mph with gusts of upwards to 65-75 here in town. Fortunately we all made it. We were on the east side of the storm. Winds died down around 1-2:00 pm today but we still had squalls of storms that came through as late as 6-7:00 pm. It is quiet now. The birds have begun to chirp again. That's how you know it's going to be a bad storm. The birds leave. Seriously. Mark had to work yesterday afternoon and evening but got the heck out of dodge by midnight. It started to pick up here around 4:00 am all though we had been experience sustained winds between 10-20 all day Friday. We had a sort of a slumber party downstairs last night, in the event of tornadoes. Thank God we were spared. In fact I don't think this storm threw nearly as many tornadoes as they had feared it would. Of course it has consumed our lives for the past two days. I am very grateful that we sustained everything with minimal damage. We've had a small leaking issues and our smoke detectors went off today during the heart of the storm. We had to unplug several of them but I believe that CO set them off since the doors had not been opened in HOURS. We have one that is waterlogged and will need to be replaced. Otherwise, I think they will all be alright.
So, that's it on Hurricane Ike at this point.

Hunkering down for Ike

Welp...lots has happened since my last update but for now I'm concentrating on hunkering down for Ike. Today has been exhausting. I'm so glad that work was canceled today. I had to put my beloved Aussie down today (which I will blog about later), and had to prepare for this storm. I have no idea how bad it's gonna get here. It is currently 10:30 pm and we are starting to get sustained winds from 18-25mph with gusts up to 35mph. If this storm had a female name, it'd be a bitch. For sure.
We've moved tons of stuff and are hoping that all survives and that we aren't flooded out. I took pictures today of the house and managed to catch these two at sunset.
