Happy Mother’s Day!!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and Grandma! Mom-thank you for listening to my long winded stories and complaints and always being there for me. I am so grateful for you!!! 

And because my mom adores the “girls” here’s a couple photos: 

Apparently they love sinks! 

Caturday! All About Scully!

For some reason, Scully got in lots of photos. She was busy being a dork this week. L was sick with the flu and home from school all week so the girls did an EXCELLENT job of taking care of her. They love to lay on her, follow her around to make sure she’s ok...

Scully (and AJ) think the wreath is a perfect sleeping place. 

“Mama!! My mama is home! I must sit on her clothes so she doesn’t leave me again!”


L had lots of homework so I picked it up from school yesterday. Scully is happy to help!! 

Caturday Edition: 3/17/18-A Whole New World

This week has been warm so I opened the front door and pulled the screen up. This is the first time Scully has experienced it. Although she gets to look out the back, this was a whole new world! She was so excited!! 

And in case you were wondering, she still has her twist tie! I had no idea where it was but suddenly it appeared! 

Caturday 3/10/18

Let’s see what’s going on in Scully and AJ land!

The girls continue to come downstairs all the time. The pups are not thrilled but being polite.  

This girl is so fluffy!!

L and Scully are working on homework. She is so chill with Lauryn. 


That’s about it for the week!

Caturday 3/3/18-what’s new!

So there’s a lot of new going on in our house! Too many photos for one post so I’ll break it down. 

Scully has been coming downstairs for a few months. AJ has finally broken down her walls and started exploring when the dogs are in the house! 

Here she sits in the evening. Everyone is ok-she’s happy, Oreo isn’t miffed...

...until she comes up in his face. Then he starts shivering!   This has been going on for a couple weeks and now everyone does pretty well. 

Lucy doesn’t seem to mind any of it. Oreo got tired of AJ walking in front of him multiple times so last night he gave her a gentle bite on the tail. Pissed AJ off, but then they were fine lol! 

Stupid Strep

I didn’t feel good Sunday evening. Chills, congestion...even after ibuprofen.  So I called in sick-easier to reschedule patients. My boss called and wanted me to see my PCP to get tested for flu. So I called early Monday, got in and got swabbed for flu (OMGerd disgusting) and strep (for good measure-my tonsils were swollen). Negative for flu but POSITIVE for strep. 

She has known me for two decades so her first words were: no work tomorrow either. She knows I do better if she sets boundaries for me. I went home, cried (I Hate being sick), took a nap (my sleep has been awful for a couple days...another indication something was wrong). My nursemaid was right there with me:

I got started on antibiotics and rested. I did get permission to run my mile IF it was super slow and indoors on my treadmill. I obliged. I’d really like to make it to day 1000. 

Today-more rest (I didn’t take a photo of AJ...it looked similar to yesterday). Scully was off plotting how to piss the dogs off, I’m sure. I’m feeling better. Worn out but my throat is better. 

Caturday 2/3/18

Life has been busy. Today was no exception. I ran 8 miles, cleaned the entire house and did laundry I am whooped. I’m making red beans and rice in the instapot so I have some time to post. 

Today started off with breakfast for the girls and then they did some backyard observations before they broke out into WWF. They play fight all the time. It’s quite funny! 

Scully was trying to see if I was doing anything cool. She decided no. 

This afternoon, Jeff was putting in a new gate for the stairs. The girls were right there to make sure he did it right.
