So far it's been a normal morning but this afternoon will be a lot different. You see, we get our Rexy today. Matt told Ryan last night that we could come and get him. So, today we are going shopping for our puppy and then we will go to the Reeder's house and pick up our new bundle of joy.
Then the fun of potty training begins. I'm not looking forward to it but I know it has to be done right or we'll always have problems with him pottying in the house. I just hope he learns to respect us as his owners right off the bat. I read that that's very important for Chi's. They need to know who the boss is or they will rule the roost. And, that, will cause serious problems with behavior.
I am so excited to have a new baby in the house and Kieran was way excited this morning when I told him that we'd have Rexy when he got home from school. He started jumping up and down and squealing with excitement. I told him to have a great day and be good. I was worried that all the excitement of having something to look forward to would make him over-anxious and thus, cause his to be a problem child today. I hope not, but you always got to be on top of this stuff as a parent.
The girls are being pretty decent this morning. Right now they are watching Nemo. Sadie hasn't taken her morning poop yet which is kind of odd but I'm sure she'll take it soon. She never goes too long without taking it. Steff has had me being her butler, complete with covering her up a half a dozen times and getting her her juice bottle. I don't usually mind doing some of this stuff for her but sometimes she's overdemanding. Not this morning though.
It looks like my uncle will be going home today or should I say, tonight. He wants to take an Amtrak train. Which is fine but my husband and I have to front my mom the money-again. I realize she gets paid this weekend but it's well over $100 for a ticket. It's just annoying that we are being her bank again. I get sick of fronting her money for things that happen. She needs to start squirling money away so when things come up she has the money. The worst part is that her checks are so small that she will have to pay us back in bi-weekly installments. I know we have a little extra money but we also have things that we need to take care of so she's using up the money we have set aside to fix things like the truck and the jeep. Oh...I could get angry but why? I guess I could look at as things "just come up."
It's been nice having my uncle around but to be honest, it will be nice to have my house back to myself. I don't mind that he's been here but it's just different when someone is in your home for a few days. The fact that he showed up unexpectedly is really no big deal. I just want to get back to normal. Besides, normal is going to be a lot different with our Rexy in the house. I guess my uncle has a male Chihuahua. Which I thought was cool. He said he's a great dog to have too. I am looking forward to having him, I'm so excited. I honestly want to go wake Ryan up right now so we can go shopping for him but that would never go over well. He wouldn't get out of bed right now if the world was coming to an end. I will be in there right at 11 to wake him up though.
