Day 30! Although it was a Tuesday, it felt like Monday. After dropping off "Thing 1" and "Thing 2", M and I took Willow to her veterinary appointment. That was a fun drive, she cried all the way there and all the way home. She has one more set of shots and then we can get her fixed. Hopefully that will calm her down a little bit. She has been terrorizing the other pets. :)
Besides the trip to the vet, picking up her sisters, and a quick trip to Target, M and I had a pretty boring day. M did go #2 on the potty! This is the third time in the last week. HUGE improvement, I can almost see light at the end of the tunnel! She has been the most difficult by far with potty training. She is also the pickiest eater and the most rambunctious. :)
On the way home from picking up A and H, H was telling me all about how she got to run around the track two times. Then she said: "I just kept saying to myself 'run like Mommy. Run like Mommy. That way I would run super fast like you". Aww, she thinks I run fast! Isn't that sweet! Later she thanked me for making her "an awesome lunch". :) On the other side of the sweetness scale, M locked me out of the house. I walked out the door to take the trash out. As I was walking back up the drive way, I noticed M was looking out the window giving me her elfish smile. I should have known. I went to open the door...nothing. I could hear her giggling! I had to wait for A to come and open the door. Apparently, I need to take my keys with me every time I walk out the door. She is a sneaky little thing! Like a ninja! A cute, loveable, funny, little ninja.
I just talked to Brian. He said things were a little sad today. A CHP officer was shot on I-680 today. The bullet severed the spinal cord and he is on life support. Prayers are definitely needed for the officer and his family. Brian said some of the staff knew the officer personally, including the one who delivered the news. While talking to Brian, I could tell that he seemed more determined than before. We had talked about the risk involved, multiple times, before he left for the academy. Since being in the academy, the topic has been brought up many times. The risk is why Brian is training as hard as he is right now. We know that the risk is large, but we also know that God is in complete control. He is never surprised. I know Brian is in good hands- the best hands. For now all I can do is pray. So far it has worked. Including the helicopter crash and the time he was held up at gun point.
Please remember the officer and his loved ones in your prayers.
Blessings,
~Cara
