8 more days!

Only 8 more days until I get to pick up our sweet puppy! I am SO excited!!! We have the crate cover coming today and then the only thing left to pick up is his food, which is really exciting. I've been waiting so long it feels like. I have NEVER heard back from the rescue, which is so bizarre. They just acted as though I disappeared.

I've got so much stuff to do this weekend, 2 huge papers to write on top of other homework its going to be a long process and we're all sick. Navy is finally getting better and I got the cold but today was better than yesterday so hopefully tomorrow I'm back to feeling pretty good!

Poor Brody got the worst of it, he finally had to go to the Dr today because he just wasn't getting any better. They said he has a double ear infection and one of his ear drugs was bulging to the point it was almost ready to burst!

I feel so bad for the poor little guy but they prescribed him Augmentin so I'm hoping that he gets better soon, and also hoping that it doesn't upset his stomach because it always did mine and I know that it's common, so fingers crossed!

Doctors and Panties

I decided to take Navy in to see his doctor today after the incident with Brody. I feel hopeless at times on what to do with him. I feel like no one cares or wants to help. Today was actually different, I really felt like the doctor CARED for once. She told me that since he has had so many autism markers in the past that maybe he does have autism. We were referred to a place called Centerstone to have an evaluation and see what they think. I honestly don't know very much about that place but I am holding a lot of hope that they can help us.

She's also supposed to try to speed things up and get us in with Dr. Hersh from Kosairs Children's Hospital. He's supposed to be a specialist in genetics/development/behavior a lot I know, but supposedly he is a top notch doctor. I am so excited for us to meet with him!

After we dealt with all of that we went to Walmart and got 2 packs of big boy panties, woohoo!!! Navy said he would use the potty, I'm not sure I believe him but we are going to try LOL! I also got some more toys for our puppy! I cant believe its just a little more than 2 weeks before we bring him home.

Mama Bear

I feel heartbroken today. Navy was watching a movie and Brody walked in front of the tv and Navy completely lost it! He jumped up and had slammed Brody's face into the entertainment center before I could even stop him. It busted the underneath of his eye open and blood immediately started gushing out. I just don't understand why he does this stuff to him. I didn't take him to the ER since the last time we went (just a few weeks ago!) when he fell off my bed and split open his eyebrow they said it would heal on its own I figured this would too. So I got him all cleaned up and noticed his nose was bleeding as well and he has a huge goose egg on his forehead, I feel horrible! Horrible that one son caused something so horrible to happen to his own brother, and sad that Navy gets so frustrated and he thinks he has to resort to violence to get his point across. Of course I was also sad that Brody had to go through the pain of the whole thing, and his brother always being mean to him.

Snow, Snow, Snow

We have gotten a crazy amount of snow the past two weeks. We got about six inches, which had packed down and melted for the most part until last night we got probably 4-5 more and it isn't supposed to stop until sometime tonight, totaling at around 12 inches.

I'm getting really restless from being in the house so soon because I have so many things I want to do outside the house. I need to get my high school transcripts sent to my new university, I need to take a psychology exam, and I would like to go shopping for my puppy.

Not to mention all my online shopping is getting delayed LMAO! Mother nature, I dont have time for this junk..I've got 5 packages in limbo here.

Guess I should update!

I really don't want to slack off so I guess I should update this huh? Well I have decided to pass on the rescue. I put a lot of thought into the decision and I just don't feel like it's the right option anymore. They place ALL of the dogs who come in who are trailed, healthy, ect with members of their organization and basically all that is left are dogs who are elderly and/or have severe disabilities. I really can't afford to take on a major health problem from a dog. I looked and looked and found a REALLY sweet breeder in Whitley City, KY who we are going to get a puppy from. They have 8 puppies to choose from (what a big litter!) 6 of them are boys, which is great because I really want to get a boy! I already have his name all picked out, Bentley Bowman. I've started picking up things for him here and there but can't wait to go all out on a shopping trip for the little guy. He will be ready to pick up on March 7th.

Whitley City is quite the drive, its almost all the way to Tennessee so the lady was kind enough to meet us an hour from her house, which is great an hour is an hour we can spend at home with our new baby! I think my Mom and/or Kevin are going with me to pick him up. The lady said she does not take deposits so picking out a puppy is first come first serve and I will be there AS SOON as she will let them go to their new homes. She said she would bring all of the puppies with her so I could choose which one I wanted.

I'm supposed to call her back the 20th/20st to plan out all the details and let her know we still want one. I told her I DEF did want one and she took my name and number down. I am soooo excited about getting a puppy! I really wish the rescue would have been easier to work with. It's sad, I still haven't heard from them this week with any information.

This is seriously getting annoying...

I have been trying to be sooo patient and keep my mind on other things, and honestly with school, the super bowl last night, and waiting NOT so patiently for my tax refund and my school aid refund I have barely had time to even think about the Pug adoption. I check my email 50 times a day in hopes of an email but my hopes never get up.

Today, I came home from visiting with my aunt and checked my email, I saw an email from Amy and nearly died of shock, but again just didn't get my hopes up and it's a good thing because she said that the person who did my home study has YET to even send her a report...WHAT!?! It's been almost 2 weeks! She said she would be in contact with her today to ask for the report. Who knows how long it will be once she has the report in hand, I certainly hope not to long, but I will begin nagging again if I have to! LOL

Also, at the home study, Annie told me about the sweet dog "Bo" and I had gotten sort of excited well, after checking the available dogs list I realized he's being adopted out already- great! and then we get to Bella, well her foster mom decided to adopt her once her health clears...so WHY exactly do they post her as available for adoption? I see that as kind of a joke!

I'm sure we will end up with a great dog, they add dogs daily. Still, a lot of these dogs are 7-10 years old, thats just way too old for us. With the boys being rambunctious toddlers an elderly dog is not going to fly around here. I don't expect a puppy but I would like a dog under 6, I don't feel like thats asking too much.

As horrible as all of this sounds, part of my wishes that I had just been able to find an affordable puppy. However, I am NOT going to give up because I really DO want to adopt a dog. I want to give it the great forever home it deserves, whether or not this organization has been a pain, and honestly its not even the rescue, its the one particular person who did my home visit. I almost feel lied to by her. She told me I should have my dog either this weekend or next, obviously that is NOT happening!

Sore teeth (or lack of!)

I finally had my infected tooth extracted yesterday only to find out that I need to have another one taken out soon. The actual process was pretty much a breeze but I had to have 30 numbing shots and needless to say it is so SORE today! I've been feeling really sick off and on today which is horrible to say the least, not sure what is causing the sickness but it sucks big time.

I finally got up to Ivy Tech the other day and tried to find out about my financial aid and why I had that random dropped class. Well first I had all my transcripts sent to VU so I can transfer and start there this summer, which is amazing! I'm super excited about it and I cant wait to actually start the funeral science program.

So I was talking to them and apparently the drop of my Spanish class was just some random drop, and the financial aid office told me that I don't HAVE to add another class in its place since it was their fault it won't affect my financial aid that was great to hear! I decided to just focus on the 3 classes I have left in an attempt to bring up my GPA. One of those classes is only 8 weeks so it will actually be ending soon, which will be very nice.

So today my account zero'd out and hopefully I will receive my refund Monday which should be about 5400 or so! My tax refund is also due later next week so you know what that means....shopping!!! =D

A little of everything!

I really want to expand this blog beyond pugs so I figured today would be a good day to do it. I'm still waiting to hear from Amy about the rest of the adoption process, I did email HER because I am not patient enough to wait, so I am waiting for a reply.

I've been trying to decide what new makeup to get. For whatever reason my skin has been crazy lately, I've been having breakouts, but mostly extra pigment is showing through my skin. I really don't know what the cause is, and I haven't had it be an issue since I was a kid, but little blue and purple lines/flecks show through and I HATE that!

So I asked for recommendations on Facebook, did a ton of research, which led me to this girl Tiffany D on YouTube! She also has a blog here on blogger, if you haven't seen that I totally recommend checking it out she reviews stuff and has a ton of awesome tutorials! Anyway..all that inspired me to decide to totally overhaul my makeup collection which has totally been all drug store make up until now. I guess I'm just getting too old and my skin isn't working with it anymore, I have always had NO problems with it up until now!

So here it is "The List" I love making lists and I actually made one on notebook paper to keep track because it ended up being way too much to even remember

1. Make up forever Mat Velvet+ this foundation looks GREAT and I am dying to try it out, it's pretty expensive but I'm hoping it will be the answer to my coverage issues.

2. Make up forever Best of Set- This has a ton of stuff, eye liner, mascara, makeup remover, a primer, and also this amazing HD powder!

3. MAC studio finish concealer- nuff said!

4. MAC select moisture cover- ditto!

5. Sigma brush set- This brush set is to die for! It's $89 and they have it in pink and black, but it comes with 12 brushes all of which are supposed to be just as good, if not better than MAC brushes!

6. Coastal Scents Contour and Blush Set- I had never heard of Coastal Scents but they have this AMAZING set of make ups and brushes and its all pretty cheap and supposed to be REALLY pigmented!

7. 88 palette- This is an awesome set of eyeshadows for $19! Cant beat it!

8. 88 palette warm- another set of warm shadows!

Obviously this is going to cost a fortune, but I never buy myself anything, and I SO WANT THIS! Plus, like kevin said, I never buy myself anything, and I'm totally worth it! ; )
