Friday, Neon called me to say that Copper had explosive diarrhea in his crate again and that now his butthole was bleeding. No.Fucking.Way. Time to go to the vet! I got off of work and raced home to get the kids and Copper. As soon as I got everyone in the truck, we hurried to the vet.
Apparently, Copper was having allergy issues. He was producing tons of mucus and phlegm and he was also eating way too many sticks, twigs, leaves and other yard trash for his little tummy to keep up. The vet gave us two kinds of meds and special food to give him. As of today, Copper is pooping like normal again and feels much better. :)

| Copper, they call this yard trash for a reason! Does this look like an all-you-can-eat buffet to you?! |
After Subway, we took Neon to his swimming lessons. He STILL hasn't jumped in the pool yet but I'm sure that he's just working up his nerves to do it. I remember how scared I was when I was taking swimming lesson. Hopefully by next week, he'll be ready!
We ran to Walmart and Aldi's as a family to get a few groceries for the week.
Finally, we were back home again. I went to check the mail and I found:
 |
| More presents from Uncle Darling! Thank you !!!! Good ones too! |
 |
| The card was as long as my legs almost!! LOLOL!!! |
 |
| I peeped into the bag. 4 presents?! YAY! I love opening stuff!! |
 |
| One of my presents was a flag!! I like to put flags out on our front porch. I love this one!! |
 |
| Sunflower's perfume ;) YUM! I used to wear this all the time but I haven't had it in a while. Supa remembered!! |
 |
| Drag Me To Hell was one of the movies that Kitti refused to give back to me & I have been bitching to Supa that I wanted to replace it. (Good thinking, Supa) Forget Me Not, I don't know what that one is like. I guess we're about to find out!! I LOVE scary movies! Good job, guys! |
After present time, I decided it was time to get down to business and get my exercise in for the day. Dazzle and I did P90X. We tried the Kempo disk which is like Karate. Fun stuff! I punched, hooked and uppercut until my poor arms were squishy feeling. Think Jello! We had a great time sweating together and that's all that matters.
 |
| When your arms feel like they are made of Jello, you know you got in a good workout! |
Well, since I have been watching what I've been eating and exercising, I sure didn't want to blow my whole week by overeating. Dazzle and I split a dinner and both had salad with bread sticks. When we left, I wasn't stuffed. I wasn't even full. I controlled myself and I was so proud to know that I could eat somewhere I used to overeat a whole lot without getting out of hand. What a wonderful feeling! I can still eat the things I love and not go crazy!
We had a really great time together at dinner! By the time Supa got us home, I was so tired! What a great but very long day! I sat outside with Supa for a while enjoying the cooler weather and then I passed out in bed. ZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
Sunday, Supa had to work all day. My objective for the day was to pretend that it wasn't Mother's Day. As I'm sure you can tell, Grama Darling was very important to me. She was like a mother to me. I have a hard time on Mother's Day because I miss her so much, sometimes I feel like my heart might explode. SO, SATURDAY was Mother's Day right?!
I woke up Sunday morning to more presents!!
 |
| Dazzle colored me a picture. She knows I love music so I would love this one. Of course I LOVE IT!! Love, love love! LOL! |
 |
| She colors better than I do!! How pretty! |

The kids and I ate breakfast together and then the bullshit began.
For some crazy reason, Copper decided it would be cool to take a shit behind the couch. I have no idea why he would do that when there are 3 people standing around that could let him outside to shit but it pissed me off so bad!!! I'm so over cleaning up dog shit especially since he NEVER shits or pisses in the house. I KNOW that he KNOWS better!
Then, the kids decided that it would be a good time to bicker back and forth about any and everything they possibly could. (Nothing makes me more mad then my two favorite people kicking each other around) I was ready to get away from them already.
I had already pre-planned to cut the grass for exercise (and to help keep things off of my mind that might make me sad) so I headed outside. The weather report was calling for rain on and off all day long but I didn't care one bit. I was cutting the grass no matter what the weather man predicted.
I pulled the cord on the lawn mower, nothing happened. I checked all the bullshit. Gas, primer, cords connected. Everything seemed to be in order.
I had to have Dazzle come hold the lawn mower while I pulled the cord. Dazzle was full of encouragement and kind words. (She already has WAY more patience than I do.) I almost gave up about 3 times and actually put the mower back into the shed that many times. I text Supa and told him what was going on and he called me to calm me down. That worked and when I got off the phone with him I was ready to try again. No dice! I text Aunt Darling to tell her what a shitty person I was for
A: not being strong enough to start the mower and
B: for giving up. I had enough and I wasn't about to pull that string one more time.
Fuck the grass. It can stay long and ghetto looking for all I care!!! Nope, that wasn't going to fly. "Don't give up", Aunt said. "Just wait a few minutes and try again. YOU CAN DO IT!" Okay, she was right. I could not give up.
It took about 40 minutes, many tears (yep, I was balling my eyeballs out for a lot of reasons, most of all over the frustration that I couldn't get the mower started), a big blister on my right hand and many uses of the "F" word before I actually got the fucker started but I did it. Dazzle and I literally jumped up and down hugging each other out of sheer joy that the mower finally turned over. I got that mower started and at that victorious moment, I knew the day would only get better from there.
The kids hung outside and watched over me while I cut the grass. Once I plugged my iPod shuffle in and had it blasting in my ears at full volume (and I had a mission to complete) I was feeling much better. It rained on and off the entire time I was cutting the grass and I didn't give a damn. Nothing was going to stop me once I started. I cut the back yard and moved onto the front yard. I had about half of the front done when the mower turned off! FUCK!!!! I realized that we were out of gas. I put gas in it and then Dazzle and I had to figure out how to get it started again. I didn't have as many problems this time, thank God!
After that little adventure, I was completely covered in sweat and dirt and ready for a shower!! I washed the stink off of myself and laid on the couch with the kids watching a home movie until I fell asleep. I had a great little nap and then it was time to get up and cook some dinner! We made homemade garlic bread and spaghetti. Supa came home and hugged me a whole bunch to make up for the fact that he couldn't come to my rescue earlier. :) What a sweetie!
We hung out for a little while after dinner and then I was ready to go back to bed! I knew my body was going to need the rest so that I could get up today and get to work without too much pain and moaning.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend with their loved ones!
A bitch that WILL fuck up a lawn mower if need be,
Apple Darling (proud Mommy!)
