I know all of you will be so pleased to hear this, but I finally saw an armadillo! This may not seem so exciting to you but Tony and I kept seeing them dead along side the road and weren't convinced that they really exsisted alive. Well early one morning, on my way to work of course, I saw something moving across the road, I put my high beams on and there he was. He stopped looked at me, then continued on his way. They sure are ugly. After that, I was watching Steel Magnolias, and when Shelby gets married, the groom's cake is an armadillo with gray frosting and red velvet cake for the center. That thing looked so nasty, probably because of all the ones I see that are dead it just looked to much like road kill!
Well, the big news around here is that after a very long month of swollen gums, diaper rash, crankiness etc. Sadie's top teeth have finally broken through! She has 5 teeth now. She is getting so big. She now pushes her music table around the room and walks behind it. Won't be too long now before she is walking. She absolutely loves books too. She hardly touches her toys anymore. All she wants to do is read. Tony and I pretty much have all her books memorized already. So if any of you are wanting to know what Sadie needs for her birthday, new books!! Or new toys that will give some stimulation. She still plays with the toys that play music and have lights but doesn't touch anything else.
Sadie is adjusting to the babysitter and the new schedule that we are on. I think she has adjusted better than any of us actually. Tony has gone back to school and is still working at Sears. This week was very hard and next week will be worse. This week he worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Sadie and I didn't see him until Thursday this week and next week, he works Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sat. So we will only be seeing Tony again really one day next week. So yeah, things are really busy for us and a little crazy. We are hoping this schedule won't be necessary for too much longer but there are no change of plans in the near future. :-(
It is still extremely hot and dry here. The other day at work I got so dehydrated that I got sick. Working like that in 90 degree weather isn't so great. If most of the drivers weren't jerks and complainers I might feel sorry for them! It is amazes me how much they complain. Sometimes I just want to say, you make $100,000 can't you shut up and be happy? One of my drivers finds something to complain about every single day and it is really annoying. It is my goal every day to get out of there before he gets there so I don't have to listen to it. I learned the other day that for partime at UPS, anything over 5 hours in a day is overtime, and for overtime, they pay double! So some days I am making pretty good money and when it picks up for the holidays I'll be doing very well. So I'll try to limit my complaining during that time......
Tony and I went to a baseball game for my birthday and that was a lot of fun. That is what the pictures are of below and we also took Sadie to the zoo. There is a smaller zoo about 30 minutes away that we took her too. She's not quite ready for the larger zoos in Dallas. Well, I think that is all for now. Sadie's birthday is coming up and we are excited for that. We all made it a year!!
