Current mood:
amused
Long time, no blog... got another one for ya!amusedSo, I wake up yesterday to "happy birthday mommy!" and go about our morning as usual. Decide to pack up the kids to go to Kroger to buy a can of frosting and a box of cake and all the necessary ingredients. Which is a job in itself when it comes to towing along 3 kids, but since I never get a birthday cake, I thought it was a good idea to make one and save oh, like $12 instead of buying one.
We run in the blustery wind into the store, I help Braden's 50 pound butt get into the cart--- god forbid he walks... and start pushing through the store. We get to the part of the store where you can see the bakery, and the boys yell, "there's the cakes!"
I have to let them know that we are going to make a cake cuz it's cheaper... Braden's response, "I don't like cheaper." hmmm, either do i, but times are tough and i don't care if it has spongebob on it like they do.
So after a debate about getting chocolate, brownie cake, sprinkles, pink, banilla (thats not a typo) for oh... 10 minutes we left the store with 2 kinds of cake and 2 types of frosting along with cake decorating sprinkles to appease the masses.
And of course, you know a $5.00 cake run turned into $20 anyways.
We get home, have lunch, have a chitchat with Riana, and decide to delve into the idea of constructing a chocolate cake on my dining room table. I know what you are thinking..... oh, here she goes! Nope, it went off without a hitch. The boys listened, Kellyn was in the swing sleeping. Hallelujah!
We bake it, it cools, I frost it, they pour sprinkle mountains on top, I leave the room to get something, amazingly little gullies of missing frosting appear, everyone's happy.
Brian gets home.................................................. *yup its coming*
He gets his nutritious lunch of reheated ball park hot dogs with mustard and a big glass of milk after he lets Casey outside, goes upstairs to eat at the computer as we watch tv in the living room.
He comes down when hes finished to go let her in.....
And she's gone.
yup, gone....
gate slightly ajar, and no dog in sight. she must have jumped just enough and knocked the latch up so she could get free. (i wish i could do that somedays)
of course he swears. throws his shoes on, I go out the front door in my socks and start yelling for his stupid mutt. Nothing. He jumps in the Yukon to go searching.
I get my shoes on, assign braden to the front window and soren to the one on merriman, while I go up and down the sidewalk yelling.
I call brian and he tells me to get in the van and start looking. So I'm left to get all 3 kids bundled, shoed, and in the van to drive aimlessly looking for a german shepherd.
I call him, "where are you?"
"driving up and down the neighborhoods"
"where do you want me to go?"
"I don't know, who knows she could be 4 miles away by now"
*I know thats untrue, she likes balls, kids and garbage, she's bound to find that along the way to slow her down*
So, I tell the boys that they need to yell out their windows for Casey. Soren belts out, "CASEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!" and Braden says, "casey." Um, hello kid, you're in a car, you have to yell!!
We drive though garden city park *hello other dogs, and kids!* nothing..
Up and down, Down and up, across neighborhoods in a mile square area.
I call brian....
"Where are you?"
"I'm over by Ford Road."
"Where do you want me to go?"
"Darcy, I don't know just drive around."
All I keep thinking is, I'm glad it wasn't me this time! hahahaha... Leena got out once, but just took a stroll down the block. and that was my fault.
Kroger parking lot, venoy road, oh, thats a nice house, called my mom.... called brians mom... called Annmarie, no answer.
Brian informs me that he has G.C. Police out looking, and Sheriffs out looking as well. i had already figured that out because there was an unusual saturation of them in the area.
After 45 minutes of wasting gas........ I call him and he says to take the kids home, meanwhile 2 of the 3 had fallen asleep while driving. I get back to Marquette to see 3 cops run the red light to turn down the road. It turns green, I look.... Is that Ray? Did they find her? I called brian to ask... he says no, but i whip around anyways.... I stop and ask, they have her. And they can't get a hold of Brian. I call him back and let him know. I drive the 3 blocks home and get out.
It looks like my house is getting raided. 2 cars pull in my driveway, 2 park out front, one parks in the turn lane on merriman with its lights on. Good thing the neighbors know who we are.......... (i think) LOL
Brian told me the whole time that she had a tag on with ray's number...........
eeeeeeeehhhhhhh.... wrong answer. NO TAG. Its on her choke collar in the car.... *ahem*
The best thing is where they found her.
Kitty corner across merriman on the corner of sheridan. The cops stopped and asked a kid if he had seen a german shepherd, and he replied, "yeah, she's in our backyard."
So the jackass let her in their backyard and didn't call anyone. And I had driven up and down those streets and hadn't seen her. so he must have found her right away. At least she got across merriman with out getting smucked.
An interesting day to spend my Birthday. Because of that, I didn't get to turn in my Lease, or get my camera to the repair shop.
LOVELY.
No poo involved, but a lot of wasted gas. LOL happy birthday to me. Lets hope that next year is uneventful.
