Tom Petty was right...The Waiting IS the hardest Part

 Cocoa, what are you staring at?

 Cocoa, I'm talking to YOU! What are you staring at?

 Oh, a squirrel?

 Cocoa, you know in all of your eight years on this earth, you've never caught a squirrel. 

You've never even got close to catching a squirrel. 

Finally~she heard something I said. But I think she still has hope. 

Dogs with hope.....they are sooooo darn patient. 

Do any of Tom Petty's tunes get old? 

The correct answer is No.

Happy Hump Day.....I hope you don't experience too much waiting today.

XOXO

Last Minute might be my new middle name

Last week I was whining about doing Lindsay's yearbook ad/page last minute and that apparently got the last minute ball rolling. 

Friday morning, I took a last minute 4 mile walk with a friend who I don't see enough of. 

Saturday morning found me at the Buddy Walk {National Down Syndrome Society} with my friend Dawn.  I was so glad she texted me last minute on Friday night!!

Saturday afternoon found me running to the post office {last minute} to mail something and then dropping off expired Rx's at the DEA sponsored "Operation Medicine Cabinet"

Saturday evening brought a last minute birthday dinner at our house for a good friend. {The Coach did most of the cooking} I thought it was going to be a quiet night with both girls gone, but we ended up with six guests; three of which spent the night. 

Sunday I attended a photography class, last minute of course!

All in all, aside from Mother nature wreaking havoc on my insides, it was a great weekend. Our weather is finally being tolerable. {Yay for less humidity in the air!}

And I just have to add, that the Buddy walk was SO much fun...BUT I really wish they would have given out  medals for the fastest walkers because Dawn and I would have gotten Gold AND Silver! 

No, we're not competitive at all! :)

I'm just wishing someone would call me this morning {last minute} and say I can stay home today!

XOXO

The waiting and wishing.

I might have mentioned that Linds is going to leave me us this summer. 

She has applied to two Florida colleges.

She has already been accepted to her second fiddle college a few weeks ago.
Now we wait for the dream school to get their act together.

Second fiddle school accepting her means no air-conditioning/refrigeration school.
Which means I'll always overpay for appliance repairs.
*sigh*

This past week I had the pleasure of putting together her senior ad for the yearbook...with none other than Linds. (she is one of the yearbook putter-togetherers)

I had to gather photos and write some nice words. I'm sure when I did this for LoLo I had it together weeks ahead of time.

This time? Not so much. I got photos and words together 30 minutes before my scheduled time.

I might have even cussed trying to save photos onto a cd....knowing full well had I done this ahead of time, the cussing would have been minimal.

But where is the fun in minimal cussing?

If I had a third child, that child would get nothing I'm sure. 

"Yearbook? Suzanne Jr, you don't need a fancy smancy yearbook; all your memories are in your heart honey." 

Next week is senior night for dance/band. 

Please don't let me forget this.  

I can't help but see this face when I think of all these big plans:

She saw this photo and declared she had Miley hair. 

But her hairdo is the only Miley thing about her.

Our weekend will be filled with dancing, softball, weeding, working and maybe a little rest.
How about you?

Mo blog, mo problems.

I'm throwing this out there hoping that someone smarter than I can help me.

I've had issues the last year with my posts showing up.

I hit publish, and my post will publish but it won't show up on blogger feeds. (The dashboard)

I found that if I set up posts to post to a scheduled time, they would....but only they would post hours after the set time.

Which is fine, so I would set them for 6:00 am and they'd show up around 9:15am, just like a bad employee.

I've tried to adjust everything in my settings to rectify this. My next step is to poke someone in the eye with a spoon. Maybe even a grapefruit spoon. 

I know. Violence doesn't solve problems but it does feel good at the time.

So I guess my real question is this: 

If someone posts a blog and NO ONE reads it, did they really post it?

They eventually show up on Bloglovin' but not everyone uses that yet.
{BTW: how do you know when someone has posted something new?
What feed do you use?}

This was missed by most humans and one alien: My most recent blonde moment

For the life of him, Ozzie can't figure out why this frustrates me.

He works out his frustrations by licking his crotch area...I'm not that talented.

Anyone else suffer from the non-posting of posts?

Should I seek medical help for my non-post traumatic stress? Hmmmm....I wonder if my insurance would cover that.
