Time off coming up

Next week I am suppose to have vacation, but---because assistants are leaving the company in fast action, I am now working all day on Monday, a 1/2 day for a meeting on Tuesday. I should be off the rest of the week. Sunday is Kaylee's birthday, she is turning 12 already. Hard to believe. She was only 7 months when she came home. Boy she has changed. I am going to start making phone calls to the agency that did our last home study to see if we only need to an update or a full home study again. Finding out that I have about $500 coming from over paying credit cards that we have paid off by getting a loan against my retirement fund. That should be paid off in about 5 years, then we will feel more comfortable. We seem to be getting about 1-2 days of relief from the heat, where we are able to open the windows and turn the air off. Then it heats up again and we are enclosed. Yesterday and today it actually rained, about 2 inches-- was sucked up fast into the ground. First rain we have had in about 2 months. The only problem when it rains, Kero( our blind doxie) doesn't like the feel on the wet grass and decides it is much easier to just use the inside of the house--not the best situation. Peanut(our doxie mix with the deformed legs)prefers to not move too much in the heat. He is just so proud of his ability to jump onto the couch and sleep there. I seem to have a habit of obtaining special needs animals also. We just our oldest doxie Sid due to cancer and a seizure disorder, he was 10 years. They are all good boys though, even Tiny our cat. Hope you enjoyed the day--enjoy the upcoming weekend also Have the Relay for Life Walk tomorrow that Chrislande and I will do as Bruce has a Quarter Century Picnic for work and Kaylee will be staying at a friends house.
