I've was fighting feeling really lonely and depressed for a while but I'm feeling a little better now that school has started and we are doing more. I'm trying to take advantage of every opportunity. We had our first homeschool Co-op meeting of the year this past week. I'm excited about that this year because it's like going to school for a day and there are some high school age kids in the group this year. We have a geography, writing, and science class. Alison is extremely stressed and would love to drop the geography class because she has to do a report and do an oral presentation in from of the class. She is extremely shy and is having a lot of anxiety about this. We went on a hospital tour field trip yesterday with the homeschool group. It was a great! We went and saw the radiology department, the lab and physical therapy. They gave the kids career packs and talked to them about what was necessary to get into each field.
Today we are working at the stables. We haven't worked in a long time so I'm happy to do it. I need the money badly.
We had a crisis this week with our dogs! On Sunday, Baby and Man ran off and we haven't seen them since. Alison has been so upset about losing Baby. She has gotten really attached to that little dog in the short time we've had her. We put up signs all over the neighborhood and I posted it in an local online facebook page. We've had a few leads but it's been 4 days so I was beginning to think they were gone forever. Well, yesterday we went by some cabins on a tip that someone had seen them there on Monday. Well, lo and behold --- they said our dogs are in Eagle Pass with some lady! We're getting the dogs back on Sunday! I hate to say it, but after this....I'm putting Man up for adoption. He's a another dog we took in and he's a great dog but he's the one that took Baby off with him. Even my old blind and deaf dog has been doing so much better without him here. We have enough dogs and he just doesn't fit in with the rest of the crew. I have to find another home for him. He's just way to high energy and upsets the rest of the crew around here.
I've been crocheting a lot. I have a lot of things to take pictures of. I've been working on making some stuff that I am hoping I can sell. I sold a sock monkey hat for $25 so I made 2 more of those. I've also been working on weaving in the ends on my sister's afghan. I take it to dance with me and weave away while I am there. I'll try to get some pictures taken this week!
