How the heck did we already get into March?? What happen to January and February?? Seems as if I haven't had time to sit and type in my thoughts, hopes, and or dreams. I've been busy with working on financial statements for LL&Co...it's fun to have some "mad" money. I've been busy with the new puppy, Abby, and trying to get her potty trained, which seems to be a loosing battle. My patiences seems to be worn thin lately. I miss the weekends that we were able to put Jazzi in daycare and we could go to the grocery store and out to lunch together, but now since we have Abby we aren't able to do that. One of us must stay in the truck with the dogs while the other goes in to shop. But that will all change this weekend. Abby will be old enough and have all her shots so on Sunday we are putting then both in daycare for the day. Abby has been sick the past couple of days and for some strange reason it seems to only hit her in the middle of the night. So the past few nights I've been up with her every hour taking her outside...poor thing, I feel bad because I can't seem to make her feel better. I get a bit frustrated with Frank because he's the one that wanted to get another dog...I was fine with having just Jazzi, heck she was trained. But he thought she needed a playmate, and yeah she did but I'm the one that is dealing with the dogs. I'm the one taking the out for their potty breaks, I'm the one feeding them, I'm the one that is scolding them when they are getting into things they shouldn't be and it's really wearing on me. I love having Abby in our lives but man, I could really use some help from him.

I've been really homesick the last couple of weeks. Everytime I talk to my mom or sisters I get off the phone and just cry. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I realized how precious life is when we lost my aunt. I hate missing time with my mom and sisters. Flying home for a weekend now is pretty much impossible. I can't take both dogs with me and I wouldn't just take one of them and I know Frank can't keep both of them so I just have my phone calls to them. I'm so looking forward to going back there after this job is done. Although with our luck we will probably end up going somewhere else right after this job. I'm hoping we are back in California but you never know.

We've been in Texas for about four weeks and we really having done much. I'm so looking forward to our trip to Houston in three weeks and maybe we'll make it to San Antonio in a couple of weeks.
