My Grandson Made State In Wrestling!

Nothing to do with animals unless you want to call my grandkids animals and since we are going to the wrestling tournament I don't know about that.  JUST KIDDING

My grandson is going to state wrestling for the 4th year in a row.  It's his first year in high school and he is ranked 10th in state.  He also got super grades but  I don't want to sound like one of those Christmas letters where everything is sweetness and light and our lives are perfect, little Suzie graduated from College @ 10 and we just buried our first million in the backyard. The truth is we've got more than one close relative in the hospital and I'm trying to work a part time job and get taxes done and it's just not happening, pay is behind because of UPS..... and the stupid snow won't melt and it's supposed to snow again.

It is pretty cool though, here Zach is as apple festival King in 2008. I'll let you all know how it all goes but it might not be till this weekend, it's a 3 day deal if he wins.





And Zach, Marcus, Sara, and Jacob.

Grandma almost bruised her fist Saturday when he was wrestling in the finals, do or die match before state. One of the other guys told Zach he thought his grandma was going to erupt. I have no idea what he was talking about?  No one told me to be quiet because they were yelling louder I think?

And I'll tell you a secret, hope I don't jinx it.  The other two boys?  It's not impossible they both go to state for junior high and elementary this year.  3 boys in state.........I might have to get a t shirt or a bumper sticker?   Yes we are all pretty proud.

End of obnoxious grandma bragging, back to our regularly scheduled programming......

Daily Dispatch or Bicho Frise says I WILL GO!

No this isn't a picture of the unfinished door trim in the family room or my dirty old flip flops (I have it planned when I'm in the truck with husband, I have on jogging clothes @ night and put on flip flops and a hoodie and stumble in to bathroom and breakfast covering head with hoodie, sounds like a plan to me?). Dispatch got up on the bench by himself which is no small feat considering his water dish and food dish were in his way when he jumped!! So he is better, much better, read the previous few posts, he had anal gland problems and then limped. The Bichon is laying on top of my coats because he knows something is up and he does NOT want to be left out. My husband is taking short trips in the truck and I will be with him some. The "junk" is piled up so I can take it to truck. See whole grain club crackers? Water instead of Mountain Dew? we are living healthy now! Anyway the dog will be with us obviously. Kids and other relatives are here to take care of Skeeter. She's not doing too well. Here's a picture of her and the "posse"or our small dog collection in our yard. She's got to be 13 and she could be 18 or more years old. Did you ever try to get 4 dogs, 2 of whom aren't yours to stand still?

I have new posts on Tresa's Blog about the grandkids and on the "other" Animals That Give Pause about big cats. I don't mean overweight house cats that make up Dispatch's nightmares either. I mean like large dog killing cats in Missouri.

I haven't had time to go to other blogs or comment lately. I haven't forgotten and think of you all every day, Rae, Judy, Lilly, AL, Anne, Cindy, Jan........ and all the others who have wonderful blogs and whose links are below to the right if YOU perhaps would want to go read their wonderful blogs I wouldn't feel so guilty about not going there? Not exactly subliminal messaging, how's this? go to my other blogs and clicky clicky and then go to the blog list @ the bottom right and clicky clicky and comment nicely. How's that for subliminal? You would really help me assuage my extreme feelings of guilt that could lead to anxiety and depression and paranoia. Better subliminal? Too much?

If you are still reading this perhaps you have masochistic tendencies, did you ever look into that? I'M KIDDING!! OK??
