My husband the genius

As I was clocking for work tonight I realized I forgot my iPhone. I called my husband to let him know I left it on the couch. He couldn't bring it to me and I knew that.
Why? you might ask. 2 reasons...
The valve stem on one of the tires to our suburban decided to leak last night.

About 15 min later my husband and my son with a friend that was spending the night walk in.

How did they get to my work, you might ask?

They rode their bikes. Now I only live a mile away. My husband got the bright idea that he would ride a bicycle
He walks in with a bloody knee. Yes he managed to crash on the bicycle. My son tells me he fell off the curb and landed on the rode. My son looks at his father and says " dad get out of the rode before someone hits you with their car" ( this is after 11pm at night)

I have come to realize that my husband has become a bit clumsy since he started some medication about 3 weeks ago. I will make a note

"No more bike rides for my husband"

Our ferocsios guard dog.... Ya right

We have a German Shepard. He doesn't bark. He doesn't growl.... Well until the last two weeks. It all started with a growl that I did not think much of, Except stupid possums in my front yard.

Our truck was broken into....

This week he has not only growled, but barked at noises between midnight and 2:00 in the morning. Kevin sears he heard something or someone in the garage late one night. He got his gun and told me to let the dog outside. I think okay I opened the door and said follow daddy. He looked at me like was a frigging nut case. After my husband calls him outside he took to steps off the porch does a 360 right back to the porch. He sat their and watched my husband check the outside yards. I love my guard dog....

Then last night on April 15th about 2:00am Max our dog started barking at the front door. Kevin gets up lets the dog outside he takes off after a scented trail by the garbage cans and north gate of our yard. I think it was a raccoon. I was also think that my husband is starting to overreact.

Ya I don't think so.... Why? read on
This afternoon my husbands send me an email about three people being tied up and robbed at gun point in there apartment right up the road from my house. Someone called 911, the police showed up and caught them.

Scary for me That it happened in a neighborhood that is so quite. Maybe My dog was trying to tell me something. Maybe he knew something was up this last week. What ever it was I will be paying more attention to my dog!!!

Life

Its been to busy for me to post any comments on here. My mind is full of what ifs and recent changes to my work enviorment.

I have lost my position which I so dearly love. It has the right balance for my life. The upside I do have a job, just not sure what it is at the moment.

My husband is dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. He has never gone thought this type of health issue. He told me he does not wish this on anybody. This was caused by a hostile work environment by his supervisor. So now he with the union rep are trying to get this solved.

I got to thinking about why this happened. My husband is the only male in the department. Is it because my husband comes across as a type A personality. Does this supervisor not like or want another dominate male? Just my opinion my theory. Needless to say the meeting did not get very far and their will be a second meeting. I had just come off me gave shift and told my husband I was going with him.
Which was a good thing. At one point he asked me if I was coming in with him. I told him it would not be right for me to do that. He got this look he gets before he has another panic attack. I gave him another Xanex and after the meeting he said that worked.

My mom is currently staying with us to help with the kids so I can keep a better eye on my hubby. She has been wonderful. She gets in and gets whatever needs to be done, done.

We applied for the financial housing asstiance, to see if we could get our payments lower or back to the original payments. We go it back and we got a total of $60 bucks off our bill. Now we did get 4% interest, but it only added up to 60 bucks off. That was under the Bush plan. Now that Obama is in the office we don't even know if we can apply for the new plan. Word to the wise be careful on these plans and read them they have some read... if we give you this... you have to do this.

Do you ever feel like life takes for a very long drive, but they forgot to put brakes on the car? I so badly need the brakes.

Now a little fun story. We needed to buy Bella a new pair of shoes. We were in poulsbo looking at different shops. We went into one that is for kids. Clothes, toys, and shoes. We found her a pair of rubber boots that she picked out. Then I found a pair of shoes I just loved. One was in pink and one was in bright orange with hot pink shoe laces. I showed both pair to Bella and she picke the orange pair. Now mind you she turns 2 in June. She knows what she likes. What we did not show her was what her shoes could do. I had to take my husband to his doctor for an appointment. We put the shoes on and let her walk.

She took two steps and heard, "squeak squeak".

Yes they squeak when she walks.

She looks down with this expression of what the hell.

she takes another step... "squeak".

She looks at me, looks at her shoes, takes another step, "Squeak"

We walk into the doctors office and all you here in the lobby is... "squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak". My mom and I start laughing, everyone in their looks at us and you can here oh how cute, we got some giggles and one gal asked, "where did you get them I have to have a pair for my child"?

Now as soon as she gets up every morning she has put on her shoes. She loves them. What I like is you can here her whever she goes. I know when she is upstairs. I know when she goes into my bedroom. Its fun and functional.

If you want to view them google wee squeaks. Until next time you all behave
