Where have I been indeed.

It has been quite an interesting couple of weeks.

First my best friend came to visit with her dog Eddie.  It was lovely.  There was garden/farm planning, Mario Kart playing, cowboy hat buying, beach going, and so much more!

Things were going quite well when on our way back from the beach (sidenote: picture  it- me, mrbunny, my best friend, her dog, and our three dogs plus all accouterments packed into my Jeep.  Then add the part where Ninja becomes a rabid wolverine when there is food introduced into a situation- she will literally throw herself at you to get a bite.  It was an insane!) my mom texted me that my sister was being admitted to the hospital.

Less than ten hours later, Kate (my bff) and I were on the road with Eddie and Ninja.  Ninja had to go because not only can MrBunny not make it home during the day to let her little puppy bladder relieve itself, but also because she decided to try and drink half the gulf while playing and got a nasty little case of “beach diarrhea”- pleasant.

Got to St. Louis and went immediately to see my sister.  Let’s just say, I’d like to not see one of my siblings like that again any time soon.

Then I went and met her new baby.  Very cute.

Spent the week going between visiting my sister in the hospital and watching her baby at her house.

After a week it was finally looking like she was going to go home soon so I hopped in my brother’s truck and we headed down to Kentucky Lake- as providence would have it, we had planned a trip up there with friends of ours.  My brother got to fish and Ninja and I were able to catch a ride back home to south GA.

Then this afternoon I picked up the big dogs and dropped off the puppy at the boarder/vet’s office.  Ninja is having her lady parts surgery tomorrow which means come Thursday I’ll have the great challenge of keeping a puppy from ripping out stitches when there are two other dogs that she really wants to play with.  Good times.

So yea, I’m home now.  Phone still doesn’t want to hold a charge but other than that- things are good.  I have another busy week or so ahead of me as I get ready to go on our actual vacation this year.  Laundry, laundry, and more laundry.  Yay!!!!!

Last but certainly not least- a picture that shows that sometimes you don’t need the big expensive fancy camera. You just need a fun app on your phone (hipstamatic) and an alert baby.
