I Feel Like I'm Living a Bad Country Song Today...

My dog is sick ick ick
Husbands car won't start art art
My car's outta gas as as (hee hee, sorry!)
House is a mess ess ess
and the social worker is a comin' toniiiiiigggghhhht...

That's right folks, Milo the wonder dog has not been himself the past couple days. Just kind of lying around, no havoc wreaking, totally ignoring the cat even! I just returned from the vet and they suspect he may have a urinary tract infection so we're waiting on the results of that right now.

So, Greg gets up this morning, actually earlier than usual because he's coming home early to meet with our SW for our home study update. He goes out to start his car, and it won't start. He left his lights on overnight and the battery is completely dead. He tries to jump it to no avail, and gets out our handy dandy battery charger and wouldn't you know it, it won't even take a charge! So seeing his only option is to take my car to Wal-Mart (remember, I needed a vehicle to get the dog to the vet so I couldn't be without today) to buy a new battery (which I have to say, I'm pleased my pack rat husband kept the receipt from his last battery purchase because Wal-Mart has a lifetime replacement policy, so that takes care of the $80.00 we didn't have for a battery!). He was on his way home, about half a mile from our house when the steering suddenly locks up on him as he's rounding a bend. The car is out of gas and has stalled. It takes all his strength to steer the car around the bend (we must have been very strong before power steering!) and pull the car to the side of the road. Thankfully, he has a gas tank in the back of the car with enough fuel to get the van to the gas station to fill up. He finally makes it home, puts in his new battery and heads off to work 2 1/2 hours later than he started.

It's all very funny (well except for Milo, my poor little doggy). I've tried to contact the social worker to see if we might be able to postpone a few days, but I haven't heard back. Well, worst case he shows up and the house is still a mess ess ess, and Greg is late ate ate...

I'm not blue though, you wanna know why? Are you ready to sing the chorus to my song? Here we go...

DNA results are on their way ay ay
