Now that I have more than 10 minutes to type I'm hoping that this entry will be a bit longer than the last.

I don't know where to begin, honestly. My thoughts are quite jumbled so please bare with me if this sounds out of order or is messy.

My aunt's dog, female is a pincher/poodle and the male is yorkie/shitzu, had 2 puppies a couple weeks ago. My aunt's SIL put money down on the brown, female puppy and my SIL was trying to get the black, male puppy. For nearly 3 weeks my SIL kept telling my aunt, "I'll get you the money, I'll get you the money". Well yesterday my aunt texted me saying that if I still wanted the male he was mine. So I went to the bank and got out the money I held back for the puppy, just in case my SIL wouldn't follow through (as usual), and put a deposit down on him. I promised her the rest of the money when I get a check in the mail this upcoming week. He won't be ready until July but if things go as planned I'll be in NC until August so he'll be more than ready when I come home. The pups are a little over 2 weeks old and already they are little porkers and about 6 inches long. I can't imagine what they are going to look like when they are ready.

My next topic is my trip to North Carolina. I so want to go but I don't know if I can get the details worked out so I can go. Mom and Mike are planning on coming up Memorial Day weekend BUT that is BEFORE my dentist appointment on the 31st. So I have to call and see if I can get an earlier appointment, plus I'll have to reschedule his WIC appointment, and call to cancel my appointment on Tuesday (and never reschedule it). Although, should I happen to get a job, I will gladly put off going to N.C. so that I could save up some extra money for Jarryd and the puppy.

Back on the subject of the pup, I am trying to keep myself from going off on people for making me feel like I'm a total idiot. Yes, I know puppies are hard work. Yes, I know they are expensive (food, shots, toys, grooming, etc). My aunt said she wanted to train the pups on pee pads, so until I get him all of his shots, he will be using pee pads. I plan on using my school refund money to get him his shots and buy him what he needs.

Yes, Jarryd doesn't sleep too well some nights but that is caused by the fact that he is TEETHING. Last time I checked teething was painful and tends to keep babies up at night. Yes, there are times where I do complain that he doesn't sleep long enough at night but honestly, who hasn't? I'm a first time mom, I'm going to have a lot of complaints because I'm learning as I go. Having a baby was extremely life-changing and I'm still trying to adjust to that. Plus, I'm truly hoping that by the time I can get the puppy, Jarryd will be sleeping through the night and in a crib. I'm hoping that my commission from Chrystle's party and Alisha's party will give me enough to get him a crib.

I think that is all that I have for now. Those were my main points that I needed to get out before I went off on someone. Sorry if it is a garbled mess but I do feel better now.
