Today

I took off this last Friday of summer to hang with my girlies. Despite the fact that I have had to drag my tired ass out of bed every day this week, this morning I was wide awake at 6:00 am.  WTF?

I let Bob out and impatiently waited for him to do his business so that I could let him back in. And then he started barking.  I poked my head out of the door (because I was only wearing a tank top and undies), and could see that his hair was raised and he had something trapped, but it was just around the corner of the house where I couldn't see what. I ran inside to find pants and shoes, but DH volunteered to check it out.  I wasn't going to argue, since the last time Bob cornered something it was a rat snake.

It turned out to be a plastic bag. I'm so glad to know that Bob is willing to protect us from those vicious plastic bags. Especially when he will let any human into the house without so much as a growl, and will love you forever if you scratch his ears.

We spent the rest of the days running back to school errands (and saw The Odd Life of Timothy Green.  It was a bit boring and a bit sad.) It was a really nice girlie day.

Finally, we headed to the school for meet the teacher, which had been advertised in several places as being from 4-6 pm. And when we got there at 4:15 we were informed that we couldn't meet the teachers until 5. WTF? And then it came flooding back to me that they pulled this same crap last year. At least I didn't leave work early to be there at 4:00 (like last year).

So now we're killing time before we go back to school.
