A little Squirrely

I could never really hurt an animal but I lately I have been having fantacies of buying a 22 and blasting this squirrel away in our yard. He annoys Bree (One of my Boston Terriers), who is constantly crying to go out now to try to catch him. We have bird feeder that you can see out of our kitchen window where the squirrel taunts her. Notice I said bird feeder and not SUIRREL feeder which also annoys me. The little pig eats up the bird seed and the birds are hardly getting any!! So anyway, when I do let Bree out she is out the door like a bullet ejecting out of a gun... she runs to the tree where the squirrel is and barks her brains at him. Not only is this annoying but we live on base and can't have our dogs barking a lot or we can get in trouble. So, here I am this morning chasing Bree around the yard trying to get her to come because she won't listen worth a damn and she is as fast as a jack-rabbit. I am cursing at her the whole time running around in circles.... UGH... So, I figure if I get rid of the damn squirrel that will solve my problem. Bree is as trained as she is going to get, she is cute and loveable but she has always been too hyper to sit still and listen to any commands... Tucker our male listens, pretty much... you tell Tucker to do something and he will usually do it... Bree just jumps around with her tounge hanging out...
Em is finally napping. It was a wonderful morning of grumpiness again. She fell over while playing this morning in her Princess chair and bonked her head... no bumps on her head but she bit down on her gums as she fell. She has this huge bump in her mouth, all purple and red. Poor thing. It didn't bleed much, just got real swollen. Anyway, I gave her tylenol and a cold wash cloth to chew on. I also called the nurse on base just to make sure because what do I know? Might she get an infection from such a thing? So, I played it safe and reassured myself. Of course Keith takes that as I am a dumb ass for calling for a swollem gum ... I know there isn't anything I can really do for her but to ease my mind and to know 100 percent she is okay then I wanted to call. I am the first to admit I go a little crazy when it comes to Em but there are plently of people in the world who treat their kids like garbage... I know what I have, I am responsible for her well being... I am not a perfect mother, I have no family around me, I am a first time mother... I just want to know in my head I have done everything right.
Anyway, today I have a few errands to run. Tomorrow we finally get to go to playgroup again since Em was sick. She should be fine plus I am sure she can't pass it on now. It has been almost two weeks since the last time we went. I don't think that we are going to go to the Baby and Me one anymore. Em tramples over the little newborn babies and I don't want to get the "looks" from those mothers... They don't know what it is like to have a mobile child yet so they look at you like "can't you control your child?"... I feeling like shouting at them "How is that No sleep going for ya?"... There is a toodler one right here on our base and she can be as rough (to a point, you know what I mean), as she wants plus she gets the added bonus of seeing kids walk and talk... Something she needs to be doing herself!
This weekend we are going to visit with Elaine and Dwayne. They live about 5 hours away and with our new DVD player in my Jeep it shouldn't be bad at all. I can't wait to go and see them, we used to live right next to them at our last base and next month they will be moving about an hour away. It's going to be great!! Where they live now there is an outlet mall that Elaine and I plan on going to...can't wait to get some good bargins!!!
Well, I need to relax a bit before Em wakes up so I don't end up having a heart attack today... Until later...
