Twinkie Helps Paint

Thank GOODNESS tomorrow is Saturday! Even though I have to go into work this weekend (busy season!), I am so relieved to be able to sleep in!

Charles is working like crazy in the baby's room. He's hoping to get most of it done tomorrow! I can't wait to see the finished product (we'll post pictures as soon as it's completed). There have been a few hurdles...mainly, Twinkie pulling down all of the plastic drop cloths that were taped to the wall and then Twinkie refusing to get out of the paint tray (see the picture for proof of this - and as you can tell she is not pleased that I was photographing her). But it is, after all, Twinkie, so what can you expect! I think she actually wants to help since she seems to love the baby already...she is on my belly EVERY SINGLE TIME I sit down for longer than three minutes!

We still have Ziggy; his home didn't work out. I sometimes am amazed at how lucky Janga is and even how lucky Ziggy is. Even though he is stuck in a dog run most of the time (albeit a big one that has enough room to actually run in), he gets out for walks and he gets two meals a day and clean water which is more than he has probably ever experienced.

Speaking of Ziggy, he was barking and barking the other night and finally Charles went ouside to see what it was all about (he is not one of those dogs who barks at nothing - the last time he was carrying on there was a turtle standing outside his run). Anyway, imagine Charles' surprise when he found a giant Copperhead tucked in next to Ziggy's doghouse. As Charles ran in to get the 22 (yes, to shoot it - they are poisonous and can kill someone!), he almost stepped on a big fat dead snake that was right outside our back door that we hadn't seen before!! I guess we need to trim the 7-foot tall weeds in the pasture behind our house as this is probably where they are coming from. Snake paradise.

And as far as pregnancy news goes, I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything is going exactly as it should. Yay! :) Today my feet are so swollen though that I think they look like tube socks. I guess 13 hours in heels a half size too small will do that! Ahhh...tennis shoes or flip flops tomorrow.

Happy Weekend!
