Roller coaster of my week

So Fall 2009 Semester has finally came to an end for me, as previously posted. I was concerned about a class, but as it turns out my hard work paid off!! I have 3 A's and 2 B's. I remain on the Dean's List which is Awesome!!! How I pulled of an A in the hardest class(social policy) I have ever taken, I have no clue, but I did and I am so excited. This was the top of the roller coaster!!!

The rest of the week has proved to be a nightmare with plumitting emotions. I am drained and am looking forward to the fresh start the new year brings.

We have owned our house since 2007(right before Lillian was born). We decided on a newer built home, so we would not have to worry about fixing anything while we owned it. I did not see this coming at all.....

Our current homeownership issue is water leakage. UGH..... Angry I am. Our water bill has been steadily rising over the last few months. We summed it all up to washing cars and washing the dog(used to take him to the groomers) and washing more laundry. But when the water bill jumped 20 dollars in one month I grew suspicious. Thinking the water company changed their rates, I called the water company. They sent someone out to look at our meter. The meter is moving and NOTHING is on in the house. Calcualations stated that we are loosing somewhere between 4-7 gallons of water an hour. I had someone come crawl around under house to check for leaky pipes... everything was dry, he could however hear water trickling under the front bedroom closest to the main pipe that goes out to the meter! Lovely. So now my husband is deployed and I have to begin the not so fun task to find a reputable plumber in our area to fix the problem.... As if I didnt have anything better to on my christmas break.

But thats not all!! Trying to calm down and focus on the task of finding the plumber, my cocker spaniel, Sammy, starts wimpering. The wimpers soon turned into full on cries. I walk into where he had been sleeping thinking he had a bad dream or he had to go to the bathroom. Poor think looked scared and in pain. I was asking him questions as if he could answer back...no replies! just stiffness, the cries had stopped at this point and he just laid there twisted up like a pretzel. At this point I was freaking out and crying. Was it a muscle spasm, was it a heart attack(he is 1 yr). Grabbed him up like a baby, put him in the back of the SUV and took him to the vet. When I opened the back he sit there wagging his tail as happy as can be. Feeling like an idiot in my nike pants and shirt with slippers and no coat, I take him into the office anyway. Dr. Burchett stated he had had a Seizure. I again start crying. At this point I could not control my emotions and explain to the Dr. the events of the day. He is now on medicine that is not so cheap. We will be looking into pet health insurance at the first of the year. I am scared for him.

I am in a Blah mood the week of Christmas.... Hopefully my parents can brighten my mood!!! Home here I come.... I need my dad's shoulder..lol
