I can't stop sneezing and blowing my nose. I just feel crummy. I wanted to run this morning but when I started getting ready I felt so bad that I figured I shouldn't. I'll be kinda glad to be back in a routine next week with school and getting up at the same time each day. It really helps me to run on a regular basis.
Maddie seems better today. She was mad at me this morning because I wouldn't let her watch a dvd. I've let her get in a bad habit of watching music videos (for kids) or a movie when she gets up. I don't like how as soon as she sees the tv she wants to watch something. So, I've decided to work on breaking the habit. She cried and at first refused to do anything else. Eventually she got over it but she was pretty fussy.
Natasha and I got an oven for them yesterday. It was just the 2 of us shopping which was good because we went to a huge market and I know that Phil would have been ready to go long before we were. I got a dish-drying rack. It's so funny how finding a normal (normal to me is what I've always used in America) rack was such a highlight of my day. I actually couldn't believe they had a normal rack because I've never seen one anywhere before. The one we had been using was also normal because it was the folding wooden - slat kind. But it was falling apart and starting to mold.
We've gone this whole week without doing anything special with just the 3 of us. That makes me sad. This afternoon I hope we have time to go to some pet stores. We're thinking about getting a dog. If we can have our pick we'd like an Italian Greyhound. Our research shows that this would be a good dog for us. Plus we both really like how they look. I've liked greyhounds for awhile now and would love to have one. I'm kinda assuming we won't be able to find an Italian Greyhound. But you never know. Dogs as pets are becoming more and more popular here.
here's a really cute Italian greyhound:
We also still have to decide if we want the added responsibility of a dog.
