TOTALLY GEEKED!

I wouldn't have a dog on the bed if I were allergic. But that's just me.

 I'm not allergic to dogs.  I'm allergic to dust and dust mites and pollen and mold.  Nothing to do with the dogs.  But I don't like all the hair they leave behind.  And I honestly don't think it's probably good for anyone to breathe in that stuff all the time.  So I minimize it. 

Not to mention the dogs won't sleep anywhere else.  And don't bother telling me we trained them that way.  When we got Layla we were intent on kennel training her.  She literally screamed through weeks of being in the kennel and ate the kennels.  flan will remember when I posted when we got her.  I thought I was going to go crazy because I couldn't get any sleep.  Then one day DH put her in our bed and she slept through the night.  Life has been so much easier since then.

I'm not actually sure the Dreft is helping Layla's allergies. Don't know for sure but she's getting better so we keep using it. Of course, she's on tons of medicine and prescription food too. Her hair is almost all grown back.

Since I have allergies and they sleep on our bed they leave a lot of hair behind. I make the bed every day and cover it with a plain cheap flat sheet. I have five of them. Every day I strip the flat sheet off and make the bed. Then I put a fresh new flat sheet on. Keeps the hair down and the allergies down. At the end of five days I wash all the flat sheets together in Dreft.

We got the Dreft softener and you can smell it through the lid. I was saying how it smelled like baby powder. DH said it smelled like ass. We were going round and round with this when we got up to the counter. We asked the cashier to smell it. She said it smelled like baby diaper. I said, "See? We're both right. It smells like powder you put on a babies ass!"

---

 No way I could wash my clothes &/or bedding in something that smelled like, baby powder, ass or a diaper.  I can't stand "powder fresh" scent anything.  Gag.  I spray my bedding with lemon verbena spray when I change the sheets.

---

 It's just the top sheet the dogs sleep on.  I wash our bedding in different stuff!

---

 Oh good!  I seriously hate powder smell.  My grandmother always wore powder & she'd hug me & the smell would transfer.  I'd always hop in the shower the minute I got home to get the smell off.  I don't know why I hate it so much but I do.

When I change our sheets, I sprinkle baby powder on the mattress.

Sorry, Lexxy.

I don't like the powder stuff either.

I spray our matresses with lysol.

 Me too.

I spray it and let it dry then try to remember to vacuum.

Use to vacuum, spray, dry vacuum.

I also clean with bleach and lysol.

My house smells so good and clean

Lysol makes my asthma horrid. I can't breathe when people spray it.

 Yeah, it's too strong of a smell.

Now I don't like pine smells. Pine-sol gives me a headache.

I generally get the lemon or linentity ( edit because my stupid smart phone thinks it knows what I am trying to say) linen scents.

Bleach is just plain bleach.

 I took a pill.  Hopefully it will kick in.  I wonder if it had anything to do with the two margaritas I drank last night?

I love the smell of bleach, I practically lock myself in the laundry room when I am doing a load of whites

I need to keep a list of things to use vinegar. I do the weed killer thing and drain thing. Dryer sheets are good for keeping the bees and other bugs away. I used to stuff them in DD's swing set, good for going on walks too.

Barely got DD to her game tonight on time. Traffic was horrible coming back from CT. We did have a nice visit with mom and sis, so it was worth it. Came home to take care of the dog, now I need to get my butt back to the game.

Found a new movie I like - Private Valentine: Blonde and Dangerous. Now I must find the DVD of it.

DS fell asleep on me, stayed asleep during a diaper change, stayed asleep on the walk to his room, and started screaming bloody murder once laid in his crib. He's back asleep now after loudly voicing his discontent.

DH and our friend are going to go see the new Jurassic Park movie tonight. I think they're crazy for going on opening night but whatever floats their boat.

 That's what my kids are seeing.

That's cute, Lily! I like it!

Ok. More like it. 

I like the drawings Lily.

Home from the dog walk, DD stopped by after her pizza party with her softball team to pick up a few things. My day is done, just watching movies now. I feel a great w/e coming on.

Work sucked. Couldn't go to the beach because of a windstorm. Couldn't do any thing else because apparently our activity budget has been horribly mismanaged and we don't have any money for the rest of the month. IT"S THE 12TH! We haven't done anything! And they dropped the ball and didn't get us any cash this week so we have to rely on the managers credit card. Which gets declined on a regular basis. And then the manager left early, so we were without anything. AAARGH! Finally got 4 movie tickets and we went to see Mad Max. Okay - whatever. Parking cost $15. Great cost saving guys.

Every single thing today was a battle. Everything that could have been so easy was made just. that. much. harder. Like, we took a snack to the movie. The dumba$$ cook packaged crackers, individual peanut butter containers and knives. Because THAT is what you eat in the theater. In the dark. And then whinged when I asked for something easier to transport and supervise (we supervise all meals). I need to take a pill or something. Grrrr.

Tig. Sounds like the fun money needs someone else taking care of it.

Ya'll do fundraisers?

DH and Friend are at the theater. Friend texted to say it seems all of AZ is at the theater. I don't envy them. Not one little bit. On the plus side, they're the first people in line for the showing they're seeing.

I shuddered just thinking of how busy the theater and the parking lot must be. I hate crowds. No. I loathe crowds.

Thanks jlbear. Now I have to decide how to finish it.

Is this place you interviewed where you will work? Do they have a reoccurring problem with the AC? Cause that would be a real consideration for me. Especially if not having it could cause migraines.

 It's for my practicum/internship.  They are in the middle of a remodeling project so there have been some glitches and should be done before I start.  It's at an adult day care center that is attached to a residential facility so they really need to fix the HVAC system asap.  They were working on it today.  

I will be part of the activities program so now I will need to plan for some stuff to do with them.  One plus they are excited about already is that I know how to play pinochle.  I had the "job" before I even got there.  They just wanted to make sure that I wanted it.  I told her that I was happy to choose them as long as they wanted me.  So, I start on 9/2.

We are soooo going to see Jurassic World in the theater. Some movies need the big screen experience. I still remember jumping out of my seat at the theater during Jurassic Park.
