Pittard Update

We have been so busy the last two weeks! I don’t even know where to start, so I will work my way backwards. Michael and Mavrick are with my mom and dad in San Antonio. They went down yesterday and will come back on Thursday evening. They saw the Alamo yesterday and are going to Sea World today. I miss them, but have talked to them a few times on the phone. They are having a blast! Which is well deserved because other than going to the water park every week, they have been pretty bored this summer! Monday, I wrestled with Major all day. He hasn’t been feeling well and when he lays down flat, his nose gets very stuffy. He finally fell asleep right beside me, but I had to lay him down about 10 times that day and he would sleep for about 10 minutes then wake up crying. He starts to whine every few minutes and I have to pat him back into sleep. He is doing much better today. He is just so happy, I can’t help but be. He is finding his hands and holding on to things, which is just miraculous to him. It is so fun to watch him!

We had a pretty normal weekend. I had a meeting early Saturday morning, and Mark worked with Brian. On Sunday, Mark got called into work for about eight hours and I took Mavrick to golf. Major stayed with mom and dad because he was already feeling bad. I was (am) so tired that I fell asleep in a chair at the golf course! How embarrassing for me!

What else? Oh, week before last, I quit my job. I feel really good about it. I waited until I did feel good about it. I have decided to go back to locating and have started a new company called Apartment Monster. Mark designed me a logo that is wonderful! My business cards have come in and I have been out to see a few properties and to a locator luncheon at a property. I had a blast! It was so nice being out in front of people again. I have the advantage of retrospect from being in the business before. I have the advantage of not being under huge pressure to HAVE to make money. And I have the advantage of having a husband who has his own job that he enjoys and we don’t have all of our eggs in one basket! This is going to be good – I believe it and I receive the success God has coming to me!

Friday before last, me, mom, Michael and Mavrick traveled to Nacogdoches to get a new dog. I had been looking at local SPCA sites and they all took me to
http://www.petfinder.com/ I found a precious little Chihuahua-Terrier mix that was 2 months old and weighed about 4.5 lbs. Their adoption fee was $30! Some of the local DFW groups wanted up to $250 for adoption, so I figured that even after driving to Nacogdoches, I would still not spend $250! My mom drove us in her car, do we didn’t even have to spend money on gas! However, she had kennel cough and worms… both of which have cleared up.

Last Wednesday, we went to see my grandfather, “Pop-paw” and his wife “Mee-maw.” It was the first time that they had seen Major. It was a nice visit. They loved Major! Pop-paw even said “I think you can just leave him here with us.” It was so cute! He held Major just about the entire time we were there. Mom asked him if he wanted her to take Major and he said “well, I think I can do as good a job as you can.” It was nice to see them.
And finally, Mark… as many of you know, he had a vasectomy about a month ago. Well, he is still in some pain. It is pitiful sad! We have made a big joke out of all of it, but I do feel sorry for him. He saw the Dr last Thursday and was basically told that he has an enlarged prostate and needs to “work it out.” Umm, ok. He is in so much pain that he is afraid to “work it out!” I’ve told him that I am happy to help him and I am very willing to do my part. He told me I may need to find a boyfriend. Oh, please! Do I look like I have time for another man?
