NEED NASCAR DESPRERATELY!!!

Well I don't think that tomorrow afternoon can possibly get here any sooner!! I am stretched to my ends and am afraid that a break might be in the works for tomorrow if I don't get some R & R tonight. I don't know how close I will get to that much needed R & R tonight since I still have to make lesson plans for next week, write sub notes, pack and do some laundry, but we will see what happens! My husband and our "crew" got down to the track this afternoon and it makes me desperately want to be there with them! It is hard to be in a good mood after talking to him and him being there and me still being at work!! GUH! Yesterday was an interesting day by all means! I got home and checked email and messed around a little bit and then went out and played with the dogs. Well, in the process my dog and our "yard guest" got into it through the fence once again and I think that dogs fighting is the single most "ugly" sound in the world. Everytime I hear it, my stomach jumps up in my throat!! So they got into and then I went around on the "yard guest's" side and cleaned up over there and then fed him and they got into it again but this time our "yard guest's" paw went in between the posts and my dog BIT IT!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing because my dog (a Border Collie), is not of that manner at all but I guess he was jealous of me being over there. So needless to say, I have this 150 lb. dog bleeding and yelping and I felt HORRIBLE! Well since hubby has already gone to the race, I was there left alone trying to figure out what to do. Well I guess they replaced the shingles on our house not long ago and there were extras so the only thing I could think to do was nail shingles up to where they couldn't see each other! So I went and got our handy tool box and went to nailing up shingles!! It really just upsets me because this is something that we are doing out of the goodness of our heart and then my dog goes off and bites the other one!! But I checked this morning and the shingles remained and the "yard guest" was limping but they say there is no better remedy than a dog licking his own wounds. But last night I didn't hear as much barking and there sure wasn't that aggressive mess. So hopefully it will withstand but only time will tell! I think the thing that worries me the most is that we have a Scottish Terrier puppy and I don't want one of his paws getting bit by the "yard guest" trying to retaliate! But oh well! I guess if it isn't one thing to worry about, it's another!
Well those wondering, the pregnancy is going extremely well! The sickness has pretty much completely subsided except when hubby waits until 9:30 to choose what he wants for dinner! But I have donned two pair of my maternity pants this week since this has been the first time that other pants are becoming extremely uncomfy for me to wear! (Of course they are still big but much more comfy than the others!) We go to the doctor on the 22nd to have our 20 week ultrasound and HOPEFULLY find out what the baby's sex is!! (That is if it cooperates!) But all is all, we are getting pretty excited and I think that it really sinks in now that I have begun actually GAINING weight, eating more and well, getting chubbier!! So that is that and I will now get back to trying to keep my sanity for the next 30 minutes before the kids get up from nap!! Diana
