Dennis was so excited to go camping for Father's Day this year. We had a super relaxing weekend and made waffles for breakfast this morning. He loved it. <br />
<br />The girls each got him a tshirt and I bought him a grilling mat that he has wanted for awhile. I was worried he was going to buy it before I had a chance to! <br />
<br />
It was nice to get away, just the 4 of us, with no visitors. But there were a couple times everyone was annoyed with each other. However, it happens at home too, so nothing new - just in a smaller space with less places to escape, haha.<br />
<br />
I hope you had a great Father's Day as well!<br />
<br />

Friday night, we were watching Lorelai and Bryleigh begged for her to stay the night. I can promise, I will never let a baby stay the night in the RV again. FML. She woke up numerous times crying and then woke up early in the am. I am not about that life anymore. She make have looked adorable here, as we were getting ready for bed, but her cuteness wore off realllll quick when I had to get up at 1am to change her diaper.<br />

We had Taevion over for the next night and the kids enjoyed riding bikes for awhile and then just hanging out. They played a card game before bed and then laid down to watch tv. I was ok with him staying b/c he's potty trained, sleeps through the night and sleeps in. Haha. But seriously - I love Lorelai, but cannot do that baby stuff anymore. <br />

On our most recent trip we stopped at Walmart to get some
groceries the girls stayed in the RV with Blitz while Dennis and I went in and
shopped. They have the generator on so there was plenty of air conditioning and
they were watching TV in the back. Blitz remain in his spot up on the dashboard
people were driving by taking pictures of him! HAHA! I’m hoping they just thought
he looked cute not that we had him locked in some hot, stuffy RV.<o:p></o:p></div>

Overall Blitz is been a pretty fun camping companion. There only
been a few issues where he’s dog reactive. He doesn’t really want to
hurt them I think he just wants to play with them but he’s just so overwhelmed
when he sees them he literally will drag us away. One day we were sitting
around playing cards and Blitz decided when he saw a little terrier walking by
he had to go meet him and when he took off the way he was standing he drug the
chain under us and brought down Cadence's chair, Bryleigh's
chair and wrapped himself around the table into Dennis and then me. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The kids
got hurt, Dennis got his legs scraped up, luckily where I was sitting I was spared

We've noticed how much more anxious Blitz has been. The vet doesn't have any more solutions. We've done various different medications, dog training with a trainer, changing our schedule to keep him from getting upset. We don't know what else to do. It is killing us. He is even able to escape from his crate now. Every time I come home for lunch, he has gotten out of the crate and messed up his face doing so. Not putting him in the crate, I come home at lunch and his gums are bleeding from chewing at the door. He is breaking my heart. He loves us so much and he just wants us to be with him. I wish I could be with him all the time.</div>

<br />
We were so excited to have our first get together with family at the RV. The rain from the previous few weeks, however, put a small damper on that.<br />
<br />
Being new to RV camping and honestly, not otherwise big campers, we didn't think about the fact that all of the campgrounds would be sold out in advance. Luckily we found a spot at <a href="https://campsabroske.org/" target="_blank">Camp Sabroske</a>. It's a very small campground but everyone there is so nice!<br />
<br />
We got out to the campground, which was only about 25-30 mins from the house and got the RV into it's spot. We had a TON of wood to unload, so we backed the van up to put the wood at the back of the camping spot. Because of all the rain, the van got stuck in the 'yard'. We were freaking out, trying to figure out a way to get out. I'm in the van, cussing and yelling. All of a sudden people from the campground start coming over. They are trying to help us push it out, another brings over this massive tire from a tractor that was torn open and place it under my front tire so i can get traction. It worked! I got out and I was so thankful to all these nice people that came to help.<br />
<br />
I realized that everyone knew everyone at this campground and it that was just different to me. We were literally the only people that didn't know anyone. I got onto the campground website and learned that it was a Christian campground. Obviously this isn't a problem for us, however, I was cussing like a trucker earlier when I was stuck and I was just hoping no one heard me.<br />
Also, a lot of my family was coming over and I was worried about them too, haha. But really...I was.<br />
<br />
When everyone got there, we had started cooking food. It started to sprinkle, but no big deal, we were all under canopies. And thennnn...the skies opened and and poured the hardest rain ever down upon us. We all were racing to the camper and trying to get the food to the camper. The rains were so heavy they immediately flooded our way to the camper and we were basically all running through mud. It was horrendous. Everyone was drenched by the time we were safely inside. It was nice to have the safety of the rv though. And for Dennis, me and the girls, we all had a change of clothes. But omg - what a way to spend our first holiday with visitors.<br />

Since we had so much to learn and knew we would already be stressed trying to figure things out, we knew taking Blitz would only stress us out more. His severe separation anxiety is hard to deal with on a normal day, so taking him when we're already stressed would not end well for anyone.<br />
<br />
Since that first trip, we have brought Blitz with us every time. He actually does pretty well on the drive. During the travel, he lies right up on the dash, on his doggy bed and sleeps or chews on his bone.<br />

In the evenings, he likes to lie outside while we sit around the fire. If we're inside (due to the unending rain), we will go up on the dash and sleep in his bed. When we all head to bed for the night, he jumps right into bed with Dennis & I like he does when we are at home.<br />
<br />
One of our biggest problem is he is dog reactive. Not in the attack way, but in the he wants to smell and play way. It's a struggle to keep him under control when another dog is walking by.<br />
<br />
And while he does well in the RV, it's because we are with him the entire time. If we leave, we bring him with us because I am far too frightened to leave him in the RV for fear that we will come home to this:<br />

I know there are a few chuckles..but he has figured out how to break out of <a href="https://stacey-dellfamily.blogspot.com/2019/03/alcatraz.html" target="_blank">Alcatraz</a>. I mean...this dog is insanely powerful.<br />
Dennis was outside building a fire a couple weekends ago, while I was taking the girls to the dentist. I randomly received this picture from him. This is just the screen door, but I laughed because it was like Blitz knew this is one of my biggest fears!<br />

Ugh...<br />
<br />
Overall Blitz is a pretty fun companion...we just really need his anxiety to get controlled. He's on doggy zoloft and cbd oil, but it doesn't even help. It's extremely frustrating! Anyway, we will to continue to camp with our psycho dog unless we know we will be exploring in unfriendly dog territory.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">After our one successful one night stay at Maumee
Bay, we knew the park was going to be on our repeat list!</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The following weekend we headed back to MB.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We found out, as we checked in, that it was Birders
week.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Apparently, it’s the Biggest Week in American
Birding is a 10-day festival in northwest Ohio, "The Warbler Capital of
the World!".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">We thought it was super cool when the office
told us about it, so we went and bought a bird feeder, seed and a pole. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would appear the cheapest bird feeder we
found sucked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we ended up dropping the
seed on the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">But it was so cool to see all the beautiful
birds!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a Cardinal that didn’t
leave our site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were quite a few
Blue Jays, and a TON of Red-winged Blackbirds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">On Friday, as usual, it rained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ended up switching sites b/c the Friday site
was booked for Saturday, but our Saturday spot was not booked for Friday!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>WOO!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead
of staying one night at #119, the park let us moved to #55 Friday, so we could
set up our site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Since it was so chilly on Friday, we didn’t
stay outside long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we came in to
watch tv and stay warm, the tv wasn’t getting any local channels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So weird, because it was earlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guess what..Dennis forgot to put the antenna
down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> At least he didn't forget me! *</span>First mark against our newbie RV
selves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Saturday was nice but so cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had my mom, brother, Jenny & kids over
for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jenny wasn’t feeling well
and spent most of the time napping inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was chilly and I ended up getting sick around 7.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so upset b/c we were having a good time
hanging out! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other stayed outside
and taught the kids how to play Euchre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Sunday morning, we could hear the birds
singing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I opened the blinds in my room
and we watched them fly in and out of our yard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was so peaceful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were all pointing
out different things about each bird.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">We did have to go to a different site, but that

Of course, this is how our lives work. We camp all weekend, with terrible rain and mud to be going home to gorgeous skies. So we decided to see if we could camp at Maumee Bay State Park, another local campground. Even though they were only open for their seasonal campers, they did allow us to come stay a night. <br />
<div>
We were in awe of the beauty there. After spending 3 days at Stony Ridge KOA, this was like a first class resort. </div>
<div>
Part of it was because there were NO neighbors, so it was peaceful, but the sites were so much better. While MB doesn't have water hook ups at their sites, there is a filling/drain station at the front of the park. </div>
<div>
Dennis' friends, Leo & Shawn, stopped by for a visit and had dinner with us. </div>
<div>
They are a sweet, young couple. Leo was in a car accident in Nov of 2018. He was 3x's the legal limit driving a Rav4 and crashed into 4 cars, then a utility pole and then flipped his car. He is lucky to be alive. He has hearing loss and damaged his right eye. He can no longer open it. But he's alive!! </div>

He learned a lesson, the hard way, unfortunately, but he doesn't really let it affect his happy attitude. We sat around the campfire for awhile and laughed at stories. After dinner, they left because Shawn had to work that night. Oh to be young again...the kid was only going to get about 4 hours of sleep and then go work a full shift at work. Ugh...I shudder at the thought lol!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After they left, we sat outside for awhile, until it got to chilly. Plus we had to get up for work and school earlier than usual the next morning since we weren't at home, so we decided to go inside, wind down and go to bed.</div>
<div>
<br />
The sunset, while the four of us played <a href="https://notparentapproved.com/" target="_blank">Not Parent Approved </a> was breathtaking. We were so sad we were only staying one night.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

(Religion), Cadence has finally been confirmed!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The amount of things that were required to
make Confirmation were painful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fully
support the kids learning and understanding to make this sacrament, but writing
a letter to our priest, answering specific points with at least 3 sentences
each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Another paper for May Crowning, about Mary, and a 3<sup>rd</sup>
paper about the name of the Saint they chose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">It doesn’t seem like much, when it’s spread out, however, it was
happening during the school year, when the kids already receive a bunch of homework.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was in addition to various meetings and “retreats”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cadence doesn’t not write well and was very
stressed during all the papers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">All of the churches in the diocese hold their Confirmation at
the Cathedral and the Bishop (usually) is the one doing the confirming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">When we got to the church – it was PACKED.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were supposed to be a total of 5
churches making their confirmation, but there were actually 9! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This happened to be on a Thursday evening (all
of the others were Saturdays) and it started at 7 pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were 100’s of kids making
confirmation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They all looked beautiful
and of course the Cathedral itself is beautiful, but the process was
TERRIBLE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We could see nothing – I didn’t
even know when Cai was up there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
like I was there to stare at the back of the heads in front of me because I
couldn’t see anything else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m still bitter
about it and it’s been over a month since she made it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">It didn’t end until after 9, which infuriated me because it was
a school night and my kids had school the next day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the children making their confirmation,
that attend Catholic schools, have teachers that don’t assign homework and
understand what is happening, public school teachers do not know, nor can they
work their lessons around this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I was so happy when it was done. In four years this will start
all over with Bry, but we’ll be at a different home church AND I’m
prepared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saved all of the papers Cai
wrote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span><span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Even though I was annoyed by everything, I couldn’t be more
proud of Cadence. She looked beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And Andrea, her sponsor, was so supportive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I'm so thankful to have her in my life and to have her be a role model for my girls! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why #thepineapple? Well…have
you ever seen the hilarious show,<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491738/" target="_blank"> Psych</a>?
Dennis & I LOVED this show. For
various holidays, I’d buy him the seasons on dvd. We would watch them, over and over and
over. The girls started watching it with
us and they also fell in love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="mso-bookmark: _MailAutoSig;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _MailAutoSig;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One day, I was reading something about the show and read they try to make some
sort of pineapple reference in (almost) every episode. Some of the scenes with the pineapple end up
deleted, but most remain.</span></span></div>
<span style="mso-bookmark: _MailAutoSig;">
</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _MailAutoSig;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I read it started with a moment of improv by Shawn (James
Roday).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the polot Shawn & Gus
are arguing about their case and Shawn spots a pineapple on top of the fridge
and asks if he should slice it up for the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After that, it became Psych’s “thing”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _MailAutoSig;"></span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We looked for them in every episode after we read that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, even though Psych is no longer airing, we really love the
show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s (mostly) clean humor, the
entire family quotes lines from the show and we love re-watching it (and I DESPISE
repeats!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it came to naming the rv, we threw a few around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also being HP fans, Dennis suggested Hogwarts
Express, however, due to the fact there is nothing EXPRESS when driving this beast,
we decided not to go with that and then The Pineapple was born!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.<div class="m_-586710853229626649p2" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<span class="m_-586710853229626649s1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We found a KOA that was about 20 mins from our house..I was a little hesitant bc the price was higher than the state parks, but we were all so excited about camping, I sucked it up and reserved a spot for the weekend. </span></div>
<div class="m_-586710853229626649p2" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span class="m_-586710853229626649s1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">First - it, again, rained ALL weekend. Ugh. </span></div>

<span class="m_-586710853229626649s1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Second - I have never been to a campground which didn’t drain well from rain water. Literally, little ponds throughout the whole campground. There was so much mud - the dog kept tracking it in, the kids tracked it in, we tracked it in. </span><br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
</div>
<br />
You are a quarter of a century old. 25 years of life. You continue to amaze me with your strength and determination.<br />
<div>
I know things are not easy for you...actually they've never been easy for you. But you take it with such great stride. I'm so proud of you for this.</div>
<div>
You fall and get back up. You take care of yourself and your babies. It's something you should be proud of.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year, instead of dinner, we had brunch. And we had it at the campground in the rv. It would have been a lot better if it wasn't a mud pit, but I'm just happy I got to share another year celebrating you!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We enjoyed (your choice) waffles, with whip cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips - do delicious, sausage and oj. Your cake was small but that was because I figured with such sweet toppings, no one would want to eat cake after! Also, we forgot birthday candles, but we'll always have the memory of you blowing out one of my big, house candles, haha!</div>

One time he ate 4 POUNDS OF RAW CHICKEN!!!!!! Didn't even have diarrhea . Grr.<br />
<br />
So, imagine my surprise, this afternoon, when I came home from lunch and Blitz's crate was empty. I was literally confused. He didn't great me at the door and he wasn't locked up..where was he? Did he spontaneously combust?! But no, there were no ashes in Alcatraz. So..I called out... Blitz??<br />
<br />
I hear him jump off my bed and he comes running out to me. I just stood there...staring at him. He stared back, wagging his tail.<br />
<br />
Me: WTF Blitz, how did you get out of that?<br />
<br />
Blitz: tail wags<br />
<br />
Me: Seriously? How did you do this? (as I inspect the crate)<br />
<br />
Blitz: sniffing the cage while i walk around<br />
<br />
I shake my head and walk around the house to see if he destroyed anything. Nope. Ok..well, that's good. So I take him out to the bathroom, cuddle with him until I have to get back to work. I put him back in his crate and head back to work.<br />
<br />
I wondered the rest of the afternoon what I was going to come home to. After getting the girls, we walked up to the door, unlocking it and who was at the door...yes, Blitz. Ugh.<br />
<br />
So, even though he can break out, it seems like when he does break out, he behaves...which leads me to putting him in the crate every morning..even though the girls and I bet he's out before we are out of the driveway...<br />
<br />
It appears I have a Frank Morris in my house..<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Our first trip in our RV was amazing, scary,
fun, nail-biting… Think excitement and fear and being hysterical all at the
same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an intense drive to
our campsite!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;">We decided when we
purchased the RV, spending Easter somewhere not too far away, would be
amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We chose to take the girls to
Niagara Falls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, because camping
season doesn’t really start until May 1, we couldn’t find a campground in
Buffalo to stay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I expanded my
search and found a spot at Allegheny State Park, which was about 90 minutes away
from Buffalo and the Falls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;">We left our home,
anticipating a five to six hour drive. Dennis used to drive semi-trucks OTR, so
I was confident he could handle the RV. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
we entered Cleveland, it started raining. I started to get a little anxious because
the roads were slick and we are in this large vehicle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rain continued and as we were driving on
the turnpike, the drivers side windshield wiper broke (because why not?!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped at one of their service plazas
hoping they would have wipers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do
not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;">The wiper was still
working, mostly, it was just on it’s side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We continued on. When we left Ohio, the rain started getting
worse. And it was getting dark. Our original ETA was 9:45p. We had to slow down because the rain was so hard. When we finally got to NY, it was a relief
and the girls were getting excited. Then
came the fog…mixed with hard rains and curvy roads. I was ready to have an anxiety attack. </div>

When we finally pulled
into Allegheny State Park at 10:05p, I was so relieved. But…then…the GPS told us to turn about 100 ft
after we passed the entrance to the camping portion. We were towing our van on the back and Dennis
said there was no way he was going to be able to back up. I said, that’s ok, it’s re-directing us about
½ mile up. As we approach the road we
were supposed to turn on, we see it’s a horse trail only.</div>

We keep going…the GPS keeps demanding we u-turn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Impossible, we are in the mountains with a RV
& car on the back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m starting to
panic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we drive down the winding
mountain road, going up hill, going down hill it’s starting to rain again and
the fog is creeping in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We FINALLY get
to the bottom and are able to start all over again to get to the site (awesome).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, up the mountain we go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We pulled into our site at 11:10p. We were
both so happy that to set up camp, all we had to do was unhook the van, back
the RV in and plug in!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a
stressful drive, we were ready to lay down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As soon as we plugged in
and started setting up the beds, the skies opened and rain was pounding on the
roof. I can say, without a doubt being
able to camp in the terrible weather, and only having to crawl into our bed,
with the heater going, watching netflix, was an amazing feeling.</div>

up and everyone showered, it was time to say goodbye to our sweet campsite
(that we barely got to enjoy).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;">Dennis had to work that
night, so he left me to drive home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guys
– this was my first time driving it on the road, let alone pulling a freaking
vehicle on the back! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dennis sat with me
for the first 10 mins helping me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we
were coming up behind a slow moving semi, he said, you’re going to have pass
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I said, BET.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are following him back to Toledo at his
speed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>HA!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;">I did pass him with help
and for the next hour I was white-knuckling the steering wheel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could feel myself sweating, but you know
what?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that hour, I was confident and passing trucks,
driving in the middle lane and handling the RV like it was a car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so proud of myself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-no-proof: yes;">We were all sad to leave
the RV behind at storage and go home, back to real life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since it was Easter, my family was at my
house (they had ‘borrowed’ it to have Easter dinner)…and while I love them, I was
counting down the minutes until they left so I could lay down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span>It was so nice to be warm and dry during our trip to Allegany during the

He loves his girls, he loves us, he's protective of us all..but he's a <strike>little </strike>a lot crazy!!<br />
We love him, but he really tests our patience.<br />
<br />
We've had him since he was 7 wks old. I do believe he was taken from his mom to early - we got him from our neighbors. <br />
<br />
Even though we are the only family he 'knows', we know his history, his separation anxiety is beyond anything you'd believe! We were told by a trainer that he is seeing more and more GSD's w/sep anxiety. He said it's the way they are being bred. That makes me sad!<br />
<br />
When Blitz was little, we had him in an airline crate. He hated being in there and was able to break out of it. We zip-tied it, in hopes of keeping him contained, but no, he was able to snap them.<br />
He was young, so keeping him uncrated was not an option. <br />
<br />
We bought a regular dog crate. After a few weeks, he figured out how to get out. We zip-tied that one. He would chew through those and get out. We bought pad locks. He couldn't get through those! He made up for that and started to chew the bars of his metal crate, until he had a hole he could squeeze through. Yes...he chewed the metal crate. We went through three different crates. Finally, after a lot of research, I found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ProSelect-ZW179-37-Empire-Cages/dp/B000Y905XE/ref=asc_df_B000Y905XE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167152134657&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17075116037436682132&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060623&hvtargid=pla-274504804721&psc=1" target="_blank">a steel crate on Amazon</a> (not the exact one we have, but almost the same).<br />
<br />When it arrived (I was watching the tracking like a hawk), I wasn't home, but I couldn't wait to get there and open it! As I pulled into the driveway at 7pm at night, there was my large box at the bottom of the porch stairs, in snow. The FedEx guy didn't even bother to put it on the porch.<br />
<br />
Since Dennis was at work and Cadence was at Religion, I had to try and move this heavy box by myself. And I'm not exaggerating when I say it was heavy! It's a steel crate that is HUGE. It was not assembled and I could barely get it up the porch. Once I did, I slid it across the porch, into the house and it stayed at the door until Dennis got home from work the next day.<br />
<br />
He put it together and we both stood back, admiring the durability...but also staring in shock at the size. It's huge! We couldn't wait to test it out.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Sure enough - Blitz couldn't get out! He was able to push out the bottom tray, but that was it. He was unable to chew through the bars! WOO!! <br />
<br />We have since dubbed his crate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Island" target="_blank">Alcatraz</a>, because our Houdini is unable to escape!<br />

<br />
TWENTY FOUR!<br />
<br />
Another year older and (in my greediness) another happy year (yes, for me) spent with us! Cake & ice cream are on deck - looking forward to spending time with you! Even though it's a simple family tradition, it's an important one in our family.<br />
<br />
It's your birthday, but to me, spending another year celebrating you, on your day of birth, is a present to me!!<br />
<br />
Happy golden birthday Whitney. Thank you for sharing your life with us.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I hope today makes you happy.<br />
<br />
We love you always & forever,<br />

<br />
Even though I don't agree with the recent decisions you've made, I still love you. I may not want to talk to you at the moment, but it's because my heart hurts and I don't want to cry when we talk. I just need to accept the fact that you are an adult and need to make your own mistakes. I can't protect you forever.<br />
<br />
No matter what - we are always here for you. ALWAYS.<br />
<br />
Happy 23rd.<br />

It's hard to see her struggle and get frustrated when she's not 'getting it'. I get mad at myself b/c she's an amazing kid. And I know this. Yet, for some reason, I always want her to be more. Not for me, but for her. I want her to not struggle with school b/c I see how tiring it is for her. I want her to be less shy, b/c I see how hurt she is when she's not included (b/c she won't put herself out there). <br />
<br />
God, give me strength.<br />
<br />
I can't believe Thanksgiving is 2 1/2 wks away!! And Christmas is 48 days away! Damn. I hate how quickly times goes once Halloween hits. I wish it would slow down.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">One of many last first's happened today….Bryleigh lost
her 1<sup>st</sup> tooth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Sure, we have already had a lot of last firsts, she walked, she talked, etc...but this was big for me. Maybe b/c I'm about to turn 40? But this seemed like a huge milestone that makes me a little sad.</span>During the
tooth pull (which was very traumatic for both of us – she was acting like I was
trying to murder her and after thought it was awesome her tooth was out, while I
felt devastated my baby is growing up), I was sweaty and annoyed b/c she wouldn’t
let me pull it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was hanging on by a
thread and I didn’t want her to swallow it or lose it at school and not have
something to put under her pillow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cadence swallowed one once, which I didn’t care about b/c at that point,
we were about $20 deep with the tooth fairy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But for the FIRST…well, I wanted her to go through the whole routine!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Anyway, after it happened, and I was driving to
work, it occurred to me, this was the last-first tooth my children would
have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Sure, grandbabies will lose teeth and I will be
excited for them…but this is my baby…and she’s not a baby anymore and proof of
that is in a baggie under her pillow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">I may have shed a few tears on my way to
work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hell, who I am I kidding, I bawled
(my meds are not right) and then I thanked God for letting me have that
moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">We tried so hard to have babies and lost more
than are here before we finally had ours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And the pregnancies were hard…and <a href="http://stacey-dellfamily.blogspot.com/2009/08/dsc02090.html" target="_blank">Bry’s labor was scary</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">So even though it was the last-first tooth that
my babies will lose, I am thankful to have experienced it.</span></div>

food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember when I was little, my
grandparents used to make a meal that my grandpa called SOS or shit on a
shingle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that for years my mom
made it as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know I liked it and I
even recall making it after moving out.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">But after I stopped eating red meat (16 yrs
ago), I made a revision to the recipe, but I couldn’t remember what it
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then my memories started to collide
and I felt like this was the recipe all along….<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">I googled the recipe, but all I could find were
recipes that made their own roux (which I later found out is how my grandpa
made it)…and I know at 25, I was not making my own roux!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hell, I don’t even want to make it right
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I kept searching, positive cream
of mushroom soup was involved. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave up
and asked my mom how she makes it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
said she uses brown gravy for hers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nope, not how I have made it within the last 16 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">I continued to search for a recipe similar to
what I (sort of) remembered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The problem
is, my memory sucks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, I found
one that was close to what I would make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I played with it a little bit, but in the end, it turned out pretty
yummy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dennis ate about ½ of the
mixture, so that’s gotta be a good sign, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">¾ can of milk<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Salt (to make up for the low-sodium soup) &
pepper to taste<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Once turk burg is cooked and crumbled, add soup
& milk to frying pan, cook on low/med until it becomes a nice gravy, add
S&P, stir well and let simmer on low for about 5 mins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
How did this happen, you ask? Well...you see..it goes like this..<br />
<br />
I answer calls two days a week for a local animal rescue. The majority of the calls are people that have found a stray cat(s) or need to surrender their cat. It breaks my heart. Some people are rude, they say, 'um, you can't take the cat? '<br />
‘We can’t’ <br />
'Well, now what am I supposed to do? '<br />
I feel like saying, ‘um, be a responsible pet owner and figure out how to make it work.’ But alas, I just try to point them other directions, praying for the poor kitty in the situation. <br />
Well, last week I rec'd a call from an elderly woman who was very choked up during the message. She explained she had to rehome her declawed, fixed, chipped cat b/c her granddaughter is highly allergic. She started to cry at the end of the call and hung up. She called back a few mins later, leaving another mesg, apologizing for cutting off before leaving her phone #, she started to cry again, letting me know she was so sorry for hanging up, she just hated the thought of putting her cat to sleep.<br />
I was choked up after listening to her 2 mesgs. I told the girls about it that evening and they both thought it was sad too. They said, 'why don't we bring her home,' I said, 'oh Daddy would be mad...'<br />
So Dennis got home from work and I said, 'listen to these 2 messages.' He said, 'oh, that's so sad.' Then I said, 'uh - you have to call her and tell her we can't bring the cat into the program b/c we are full.' He said, 'what, why? '<br />
I said, 'I can't do it, I'll start crying.'<br />
Bry leans forward and says, 'Daddy, why don't we bring her to live with us?' He said, 'we don't need another cat, you don't change the litter,' to which Cai chimed in, 'no - I do - every week. And we scoop in btwn.'<br />
I had to bite my lip to keep from smiling. I said, 'look, it's fine, but I can't call her and tell her, will you please?' He just gave me an annoyed look and said, 'just tell her we will keep it and if her granddaughter moves out or whatever, she can have her back.' <br />
WOW - that's a really good idea! HA! When I called her, she started crying, which made me choke up again. <br />
<br />
It was funny b/c my friend had said to me a few days before, 'how many cats do you have?' I said, '3', she said, 'damn, I have more than you (she just got her 4th), I may be a hoarder.' (Fantastic, people judge the # of pets they have on how many I have. I may have set a precedence over the years of fostering).<br />
I laughed at her and said 'probably!!' Annnndddd then 4 days later I have a 4th cat. Dammit. Karma. I shouldn’t have laughed at her.<br />
When I told her about Molly, she said, 'yes! That means I’m not a hoarder….'<br />
I said..'or it means we both are! Hahaha!'<br />
The day I picked up Molly, the lady was teary eyed and continually thanked me. She was a small lady, probably in her late 70’s or early 80’s. She was very sweet and gave me two big hugs, telling me she was so appreciative of this. I smiled, all the while thinking of how big of an idiot I am. Ugh..4 cats. I asked her as we were loading Molly into the crate, had she been around kids, dogs, other cats? No, no & no. <br />
Awesome – sounds like we are the perfect family for her. Various children in & out of our house, a dog & 3 other cats. She’s going to be very pleased when we get her home.<br />
She didn’t make a peep while we drove home. She did a lot of hissing and growling at Blitz and the other cats once we got home and brought her out of her crate – but she’s slowly adjusting. She likes to sleep with Cadence at night, she isn’t a fan of Bryleigh (maybe she senses Bry is a dog-whisperer!) and she still hates Blitz. <br />

No more cats for us. We are at capacity. And since the two oldest are only 8, we have many years of being a 4 cat household.<br />

<br />
Our Saturday started out as usual, house cleaning, laundry folding, etc. Dennis works 7-3:30, so it's just the girls & I working around the house. Once the house was clean, we ran to the store for a few things, picked up a fun box of pumpkin shaped cookies for a Halloween party the girls were invited to. <br />
<br />
I dropped them off at said party and I headed home to switch loads and get ready for Jody & Ron's wedding! YAY!<br />
<br />
After I finished switching loads, I ended up picking up Lisa & Taevion so they could ride with us out to the wedding. Dennis picked up the girls from Morgan's and headed over to pick up Cadence's friend that was staying the night. Finally, we were able to head to the wedding.<br />
It was at Jody's aunt & uncle's house, and it was in the country. As we were driving out there, we passed a kid, maybe 9 or 10, with a scary ass mask on, standing at the end of his yard, near the road, VERY slowly waving at us as we drove by. He was extremely creepy. Lisa was freaking out. HAHA.<br />
<br />
The wedding was awesome - Jody looked beautiful!<br />
<br />
We didn't stay too long, we wanted to get over to the Folklore Fest since it ended at 9. When we got there, it was still daylight (usually we get there as it is getting dark) and it was WARM!! I honestly don't think it's ever been warm. We are usually freezing, sipping hot coffee & standing in front of the fire to try and warm up. Everything aches by the time we climb into the car b/c we were shivering.<br />
But not this time. This time was perfection. They even added some new activities, one was the spooky trail - it was pretty awesome. I can't wait for next year!<br />

When we got home, we threw some frozen pizzas in the oven and the girls decorated some cookies. After we ate, watched about a 1/2 hr of tv and cleaned up, it was 10:30, so I headed to bed. The girls were playing in the bedroom and they weren't being loud, so I let them stay up. I was asleep within seconds of lying down.<br />
<br />
When the real Sunday Funday rolled around, it was anything but fun. I had to wake the girls early to get ready for Religion, that was pleasant..I assume it was close to midnight, if not after, by the time they fell asleep and here I was waking them less than eight hours later.<br />
The plan was to drop off Cai's friend & then take them to Religion, but of course, we were running late (story of my life) and I had to take the girls first. After I dropped off her friend, I ran to the store, grabbed a few things, picked up the girls and we ran to my work to anonymously start the <a href="http://silverboxcreative.com/blog/2010/10/boo/" target="_blank">'you've been booed'</a> fun at my work. I would have taken it all in early Mon morning, but let's be serious, I would never make it before the people I was 'booing'.<br />
We went to Whitney's to drop off clothes for her & the kids that she had left at our house. The trip was crummy b/c it was raining and it takes about 35 mins to get there. But I made it a little more enjoyable with a VERY scary story! The girls were enjoying it so much they were bummed when we got home and the story ended...mid-scare!<br />
<br />
When I walked in the door, I wanted to just relax, but there was cheer practice & dinner to make, so I kept it moving.<br />
<br />
That evening, when everything was done and I finally had a little time to relax, I opened my Nook and picked up where I left off in 'My Commander'. While the book isn't exactly what I like to read. The pace and lack of buildup was a downfall for me, but overall, for an easy, amusing read - I enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
Now it's Friday and we have a weekend full of soccer tournaments. Maybe we can sneak in making popcorn balls...but mostly - I will be enjoying the fall weather and tv movies! I hope you have a great weekend, too!<br />
