Projects

Last night, Muñeca actually let us sleep. At first we put her in a dog cage, but as soon as she realized she was locked in, she started whining. We moved her cage so she could sleep near my side of the bed. For some reason she likes to sleep next to my slippers. You can see her in between the trashcan and slippers...

I went to Starbucks with Steph this morning. We had fun talking. It's always good to catch up with friends :-)

Afterwards I went to my school and the AC was on. Yay!! I didn't want to stay long because Muñeca was at home alone. When I got home, she had pulled all her blankets out of her bed and spread them everywhere. I guess she got bored.

I printed out some stuff today for some projects I am making for my classroom. I will post pictures of the finished products of everything I'm making, but for now, here's a preview of what's to come...

These are for my desk organizer:

These are for a sound check clip chart:

These are for a clip chart of "How we go home:"

These are for my birthday chart I will put on a bulletin board:

This is for a clip chart of where we are in case someone is looking for us:

Lastly, this is a book I am making about how to treat books nicely:

I am excited to make all these projects!!! Now I need to get to work cutting these things.

Surprises

Last night when I got home from Starbucks, Manny had a surprise for me. He got us a puppy!!!

I was at Starbucks with my friend and we were busy looking up puppies. I was sending Manny the links to some of the puppies I found online. Apparently one of the links was to a family in our apartment complex. The family owned the mom and dad and they had six dachshund puppies-two females and four males. Manny chose one of the females because he knows I don't like male dogs. Manny chose the name Muñeca which means doll in Spanish.

We did not get much sleep last night because Muñeca was crying all night!!! She is only six weeks old and it was her first night away from her family. Poor Baby! Manny got up and checked on her around 4am. I had been lying awake for a while. I was so tired and so I just prayed that she would go to sleep. It got quiet. I didn't hear anything from her until Manny's alarm went off at 5:15. Praise the Lord! This just goes to show that God cares about the little things :-) like sleep! 

This morning I got up and brought Muñeca into the bedroom. She cuddled up next to me and went to sleep. I guess she didn't get much sleep either. I let her sleep a few hours, but then I had to go get some things for her.

I didn't want to leave her here alone, but she didn't want to stay in my purse.

I went out and bought her food, a collar, food, and food/water dishes. 

I bought her dishes at Dollar Tree and I bought a squirt bottle. The lady at the register said someone had been looking for the squirt bottles earlier. I told the worker where they were and I told her that there are smaller squirt bottles on the hair aisle. Another worker had been listening and she said that I really know the store. Haha I told both the workers that I go to Dollar Tree way too much! One worker said "Well think about all the money you saved by not buying this stuff at Walmart." I said "That's true, but you end up spending way more money than you intend to." Haha my Dollar Tree addiction. Manny is no longer surprised when he comes home and I tell him I went to Dollar Tree.

As soon as I showed her the food, she started eating. Poor baby must've been hungry. I guess milk isn't too filling.

Well Muñeca is back to sleeping. She keeps looking around for Manny, so hopefully he comes home soon!
