Have you ever noticed that when you actually have a bad sinus headache that makes your eyes pound that there is no medicine that works better than something along the lines of Tylenol sinus? I have taken a lot of things to alleviate my headache, but the sinus medications seem to work the best in this situation. I hate this time of year just because of sinus problems.

My dog is currently laying on her back on the floor swaying back and forth. I think she might be telling me that she needs to be petted right about now, but she should be able to see that I am blogging and nothing can interrupt my blogging! I’ll have to play with her whenever I get done writing tonight. She is so funny, I love her! I am going to include a picture so you can see how lovable and silly she really is!  <Grin>

A house is not a home until you put at least $10,000 worth of repair junk on it I swear.  I have been wanting to sell this house for a very long time, but once I get the new roof on it, the new siding and the new furnace I don’t think I am going to want to move anymore.  When I started fixing one thing it would make another thing look horrible or break something else, so it is a never ending money pit.  I am not sure why I wanted to own instead of renting so bad?

I haven’t been to bed yet and it is 11:28 am.  I laid down for awhile earlier but it was totally futile.  My dog kept making a bunch of noise because the cat has been trying to fight her.  I really do not know where the cat got all of this energy and all of the hate for the dog all of a sudden.  The dog is afraid of the cat so you can hear her skitter across the house to get away from the cat.  Normally this kind of noise would not wake me up, it is just one of those insomnia episodes that I get every so often.  I am tired but I cannot sleep!

Lexi broke her chain that I put her out on the other day, so I have been having to take her out on the walking leash to go potty.  She obviously has issues with people being around when she goes potty because I sit out there for 20-25 minutes at a time and all she does is pace back and forth.  I need to get to the store to get her a new chain, but what the heck am I supposed to do in the meantime?  I know she is going to go potty in the house as soon as I leave to go anywhere, and I just tried to take her out again before the weather got nasty, now it is raining and she still has to go!  >:(

My husband’s aunt who is an awesome person asked her to drive her home to Florida.  The trip sounds like a lot of fun, but at the same time I really do not want to drive back home and I am not entirely sure what we could do with our dog.  The dog is one of the only ways that our house stays protected from thieves, so I would not want to board her or take her away from the house.  It used to be easy to find a house sitter while we went on vacation, but those people that used to watch our house have their own houses now that they need to be at.  My hubby says that he is too uncomfortable leaving the house unattended, so what should we do?  I want to help her out, and getting some sunshine in the process would be awesome, but I do not want to get robbed!

My dog is afraid of everything! I got her from the pound when she was just a couple of months old, but I assume that she went through a lot in those couple of months. She is afraid of bottles, plastic bags, stairs, and all kinds of things around the house. I feel bad for her and I am not sure why she is afraid like this. She was afraid of her dog beds, I made her one out of blankets and she would not use it, and then I bought her a pillow type dog bed and she was afraid of that for the longest time. The way that I ended up helping her go to bed was when I told her to go to her bed I would put treats on it, so she associated the bed with treats instead of some kind of doggy doom. I do not really know how to take care of the rest of her fears, but I guess that is what makes her a unique dog. I am so glad that I have a dog though because I know she scares off potential bad people because she has a really nasty bark. It is a good thing that the bad people do not know all of the things that she is afraid of!

Every day like clockwork the mail lady comes to deliver the mail and my dog tries to break out the window to get to her. I really like that the dog is so protective of us and at the same time it is really annoying. I get woken up almost every day by the dog barking at something or another. The funny thing is she will be in the middle of sleeping and she will just wake up barking at something without even investigating. She hates the mail lady and the Jehovah’s Witnesses the most.

The jehovahs witnesses always seem to bother me.

I let Lexi out this morning into the back yard, and there is a pond out there now that I never built.  She is going to be one heck of a muddy mess when she gets back inside today and I am going to have to stop her from shaking her mud all over the place.  I hate having to deal with a muddy and gross dog, but she won’t go potty unless I put her out back, she needs time to think about it I guess.

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the first thing that woke me up this morning was my dog going insane because I had Jehova’s witnesses at my door.  I did not talk to them, they were walking away from my house when I got out of bed to see what was going on, but I almost went out on the porch to yell at them for disturbing my sleep to talk to me about some garbage that I do not care about at all.  It is sad that they go door to door hoping that people will pick up on their crappy religion.
