Stressed Out
Today was a busy crazy stressed-out day. Some days are like that. We did just buy a dental practice. I have all the kids home for the summer.
These are the balls I juggled today: keeping my three chickens entertained and fed and out of trouble all day, answering one line of Taylor's phones for the office, baked a loaf of bread, figuring out how to integrate imaging software on new computers at the office (at first I thought we were going to have to pay $5000 for the Dexis upgrade, but alas, I found xp from softunique- NO ONE sells xp anymore, but I found it), figuring out/filing payroll tax for bookkeeping client for Feb 1094 he got a nonfiler notice for, reconciliations, making sandwiches for everyone, filing 941's for the office that somehow didn't go through for May (overlooked the rejection email) I'm sure I'll be hearing from the IRS with a penalty for that, trip to bank to figure out how to put selling dr's AR checks in our account- turns out we have to open a joint one with him- more paperwork, feeling guilty for being on phone/computer while my kids are bored, gave Olivia and her friend Emma a very short painting class and they did these really adorable portraits of eachother, making dinner (homemade pitas with chicken, humus, tomatoe and lettuce), talking to Taylor about his day and the endless list of things there is to talk about at the office, and now typing about it all. I don't think the tenses match up in what I just typed but whatever.
I can see why in the movie "The Incredibles" they made the mom "elastigirl" or whatever she was called. That's how I feel. Stretched in a million different directions.
I hope Jake has a good home now. He was a good dog. I really think it was the best thing though- can you imagine adding anything else to my list here today? walking the dog? chasing him down the street when he runs away? I can't.
Now if you'll exuse me I need to go mow the lawn before it gets dark. Taylor is playing volleyball. I'm not upset about that, he needs it. But the lawn does too. He did vaccuum the stairs the other day.

At Nancy's farm with Noah
I love this place. I don't think a person could live in a more idyllic place. Nancy is so nice to let us come ride Noah. We all adore her farm. The kids had so much fun feeding, brushing, washing and riding Noah. Ol' Eli had to stay in the pasture. He's a purebread and a little unruly.
Taylor's vacuuming the stairs
I think I might cry. I don't know what's come over that boy. Everything I asked him to do today he got right up and said, "I'd love to honey ". And I didn't even ask him to vacuum the stairs.

Jake is gone
Today I took Jake to Everycreaturecounts, a pet adoption agency. I do feel bad but I think it was the right decision. Evan drew this while I was gone and hung it on my wall. The kids didn't want to come and I don't blame them. The agency said they'll probably find a home for him this weekend. They take their dogs to Petsmarts around the area on the weekends for adoption. I cried when I left him. He was a good dog. I just have too much going on to be a good pet owner. Plus sometimes he pooped in the house. Well there were lots of little reasons, things that a true pet lover could overlook.
