The good thing about living in a city where it snows a ton is that people actually know how to handle it- they dont post it all over facebook that they are snowed in and oh god now they wont eat for 3 days etc etc. It pretty much goes- snow, snow removal, salt roads, clean roads by 10am. Sooo as much as I wanted to use the bad roads as an excuse to not go out (see previous blog entry) I knew perfectly well that life was in deed functioning outside my door step.
Now here comes the most awful horrid part of my day.... I almost killed my sweet lil pup pup zozo bean! I took her with me on my errand running because she hates her crate with a passion, and also because I enjoy her company. Annoying part of her tagging along in the car is that she whines and whines until you roll down the window so she can get a lil doggy high off the rushing wind. And because I make her suffer each and every night with the bedroom window open I figure I can handle a bit of cold breeze while driving (and actually since ive gained 20 freakin pounds of extra blood in my body the air feels GOOD! and cools me down)
Well after she gets her sniff on she eventually gets bored or realizes it hurts a lil bit to have 45 mile an hour winds of 20 degrees flying into her nose so she will retreat to laying down in the back seat, and ignore the open window. So as I am driving along, I tap the window button to roll up the window, this usually cue's her in on the fact that momma is rolling it up- meaning she should pull her head back into safety...Nope. Not today.
I look back to see why the window isnt rolling up and my poor dog is being HUNG by her NECK life-less, front legs limp shaking her head side to side trying to breathe and not die as I, her mother, pull the trigger to the window!!!!!!!!! Talk about life changing moment. I pull over like a cop outta hell, release her from her misery and try to comfort my poor child (yes, i do see her as a daughter). She wanted nothing to do with me lol. She said 'you a fool woman if you think imma let you hold me, dog killah!'. Eventually she caught her breath, and regained her composure - I feel terrible, as I am soon (8 days) away from being responsible for an INFANT! Just kidding, I will be fine, but I honestly felt like total crud for a good hour after wards.
Errands went smoothly, it was nice to get out of the house and my womb appreciated the work out. I got a price adjustment on my breast pump that just went on sale that originally cost $300 (yummy topic, but hey there's no other word for breast pump). So after the adjustment and 10% off for it being on our registry Kev and I only ended up paying $70 for it. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me! Im a frugal gal and whenever I can get money back and or save a buck Im there sista. I had more things on my 'to-do' list but after almost killing my dog and driving around in freezing rain 39 weeks preggo I figured I should better be safe than sorry and headed home. Kev and I will complete the errands list this weekend before my madre comes- I prefer he drives now a days and we like doing things together anyways :).
As for tonight I am making home-made beef stew with biscuits YUM! So delish and hearty, perfect for a day like today. Wont be eaten until later since Kev has his last CCW class tonight directly after work. boo. So off I go to start dinner and tidy up the house, such the housewife that I am.... :D
Stay warm everyone!
Ciao for now
