Deb, I have read that age is related to some sleep issues. For different reasons, which is understandable. I don't get it though. I eat right, keep the room right and do everything that I have read and have tried supplements, but still I wake up and have problems falling back to sleep, and most nights I lose about an hour at least just trying to fall asleep. Keeping a sleep pattern of 9 to 5:30 and I still get a very short night of sleep in the end. So going to bed at a regular time and getting up at a regular time does not work. If there is a chance to sleep in, it does not happen. I wake up to the tiniest amount of light in the room and even things like cars going out that early will wake me up. We had a huge metal crate for Mudd and our Dane Puddle. That thing was so much work to fold up and lock to carry out of the house. And so big. Probably way bigger than what you have. It had a door for each dog and we had a partition for them in it at first. We had it set up in our living room when they were pups and put a sheet over it. It gave a nice look to the living room LOL.
We play all kinds of games. This time we played a game using playing cards called golf. It is based on 9 hole golf with scoring for particular cards and not wanting to be left with points. There was also a game that I think must be purchased from a craft company or hand made, I can't remember what they called it. There was a wood game board painted sort of like Parchesie (sp) with holes in it for golf t's that were painted the color for the player, and a deck of playing cards we each had and were playing from for movements. A sheet of rules. We have played Phase 10, the Uno game that shoots out cards. I had a problem with that one when I was supposed to get one card, I pushed too long and ended up with a bunch. They were all laughing
We also have played just things like a get to know each other better, question and the one with that color token answered questions like hobbies, favorite show etc.. It is lots of fun, and loads of joking around. We played bunco the time before. I think they are planning that again, but looking for a fuzzy dice and bell as someone lost it. I have one though that had been played with by grandchildren.
Valerie, where there is revenue, they always get put first. Not fair at all. We had a lop eared bunny that figured out how to get his crate door open before. We had to wire it shut. He could nose the latch up. He knew where the veggie drawer was in the refrigerator and would try sitting in the bottom when I opened it and nosed the drawer. I had to put a stop to it because he also chewed a hole into the rubber seal around the door and probably not a sanitary thing. You had to open the refrigerator fast and get what you wanted or put him in his crate first. It was nice here this morning after last night's rains. It was 72 when we went to the pool. The children found it fun checking out all of the ducks and geese. There were some ducklings there too. Some were on the water and some come up by the pool fence. There is a small lake by the pool we went to this morning. I really do wish the rains would let up. They mowed the wet grass this morning and when I went to get the mail the standing water had all of the wet grass in it. I couldn't get it all off of my shoes when I climbed back into my car. (I drove up to the mail box when returning from the store) I probably should have pulled in and walked to the mail box and then took my shoes off, but I didn't fully realize till I was already out of the car.
Judy, yeah for a day off. It sounds like you could use some time off. The 16 hour week will be a lot better. Raw 888 is one of the early ones that was on YouTube. It seemed easier to me this time than previously. I was kind of avoiding doing it again because I remembered it seeming really hard. Maybe it is because I knew what to expect this time.
Carolyn, I am staying very busy this summer, but it is pleasant spending fun time with others.
