Backwards In My Quest

So after the whole donette thing, I really was going to make an effort at being better. This morning as we were almost to daycare Izzy said, "Mommy, I'm hungry. When are we going to eat breakfast?" I completely forgot to feed her altogether this morning. She let Gordy out while I was in the shower and of course he ran off. So I was flustered looking for him and forgot to feed her. What's better nothing or donettes?

Easter 2009

I got another one of those little surprises when I left work on Friday. Izzy and Chase were walking to the back door to meet me. Chase wasn’t supposed to be home until Sunday evening, so I was kind of dreading another weekend of entertaining myself. So you can imagine how excited I was. The weekend was essentially uneventful but it was nice to spend some time with my hubby. Chase took Izzy to the park to Easter Egg Hunt. I refused to go because I couldn’t stomach the thought of dealing with all of those kids. We had Radu and Paula over for dinner which was so much fun. I even cooked dinner, which I was proud of. As soon as he found out I was cooking, Chase began saying that we should just take them out. I told him I could do it but he was a nonbeliever. He even pulled out the Pizza Hut coupons 30 minutes before they arrived as a backup. But I did it! I thought it turned out good and everyone ate it, so I took it as a good sign. Paula asked Chase why he was so quiet during dinner and then followed it up with this statement, “Is it the food poisoning setting in?” I hope she was just joking. On Easter, Izzy actually tried to sleep in but Chase couldn’t take it anymore and woke her up. She was excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought her for “Christmas”. Anytime she gets any kind of gift these days, she assumes its Christmas.

Izzy did dress herself, I promise.

Once Izzy saw that Grandpa was going for a ride on Easter, she has to be involved. She could of cared less about her attire, she just wanted to ride.

Gordy never gives up.

Isabelle vs. Gordy: Round 100

Gordy definitely has had his fill of Izzy. He has gotten so grouchy with her lately that I'm actually scared to leave the two of them alone. At this point, I have to lock Gordy with me in the bathroom while I shower because he is so snippy. I can't say that I blame him though because the kid is hard on him. We took the puppy to the river this weekend and of course Isabelle had to walk him. It was a tug of war the entire time. He was pulling her then she was pulling him. Gordy hates the water and doesn't like to get to close and she would try to make him look over the edge. It was painful to watch. Last night, he snipped at her for no reason other than the fact that she was trying to get on my bed where he was already laying. Does anyone out there want a grouchy chihuahua who is not friendly with kids?
