*edit* forgot to mention an update on the dog bite… It’s a big bruise now, but it’s doing a lot better and Haley’s okay about it (still doesn’t want to be around any dogs) and she’s better *end edit*

So I went to bed last night at like 11:30pm thinking ‘okay going to bed before midnight should give me enough sleep to get up with enough energy for the next day and to go to an aerobics class at like 9:30am’… that didn’t happen. I woke up at like 1:30am to hear the t.v. blasting (at least that’s what it felt like) in my bedroom because hubby was still awake. I told him to turn it off or turn it down because it was keeping me from a sound sleep, then I got up to use the bathroom (since I was already awake) and realized Haley’s bedroom t.v. was still on and loud enough for me to hear in my room (which automatically makes it too loud). So I turned Haley’s t.v. off and did my business in the potty and went back to bed, I probably tossed and turned for about 30-45 minutes waiting to fall back to sleep. I finally fall asleep and then get awoken for the second time at around 3:30am, this time Haley couldn’t sleep… she claims she was hearing noises (probably the rain outside), so she asked if she could watch a little bit of t.v. to fall back to sleep…. so I said fine, I got up went to the bathroom again and went to lay down.. again. Tossed and turned in bed again for about an hour before I threw in the towel and just got up and sat down to catch up with my sister on my MySpace. 5:30am rolls around, I get up and go check on Haley again, finally she has fallen asleep!!! So I mosey my way to my side of the bed and get comfy… I lay there for about an hour before I finally fall asleep!!! I hear the phone ring at like 8:55am and it’s my neighbor asking me if I’m gonna go to the gym with her… I have NO energy whatsoever to get up and go to the gym… bad enough I slept wrong apparently by the soreness on my neck Today sucked, I had absolutely NO energy whatsoever thanks to my lovely sleepless night. Haley is NEVER getting a nap ever again, lmfao!!

Pray for a good nights rest tonight, there are classes I want to get to tomorrow morning, lol!

So I went over to my neighbors house across the street to go have dinner with her since her hubby was out of town on family stuff… so it was only her and her son, so hubby and our kids went to go keep her company for dinner. After dinner we went outside to just hang out and yap about nothing in particular and hubby says he’s gotta go let the dogs in (he’s dog sitting for his friends/coworkers down the street), so I told him take Haley so she can go for a little walk with you, but be careful with the dogs around her. So he’s gone maybe less than 10 minutes and my neighbor answers the phone and it’s hubby asking me to come and get Haley because she’s freaking out. So I go for a walk down the street to go get Haley, I finally get about two houses down and wave for her to come walk back with me… so we’re walking back to my neighbors’ house and I ask Haley ‘Did the dogs scare you?’ and she replies, ‘well, the little black dog didn’t scare me, the big white dog scares me’ so I ask, ‘did the big dog bark at you and scare you?’ to which she replied, ‘ yeah the big doggies bark scared me, but when he bite me he scared me more!’ at this point she’s crying and I stopped dead in my tracks and said, ‘WHAT?!’ So I asked her to show me where the big doggie bit her and she lifted up her top and revealed a reddish circular spot on her tummy (above her hip) and said the big white doggie bit her and she’s scared of the doggie. My poor baby, I could’ve killed the dog I swear. So I hoist her up to my hip and carry her back and call hubby on my cell (which is almost always with me) and ask him how he could’ve let the dog bite her. He said he told her to stay put by the fence and not to follow him… well, when Haley’s in a place she doesn’t know and if someone she knows goes out of site she gets scared and starts to follow… which is what happened. So she followed and hubby was with the dogs well the small black dog barked (okay more like yipped at her since he’s a little tiny thing) and the big dog jumped on her and hubby swore on the phone that all she got was a scratch from it… I told him it was circular in shape and didn’t look like a damn scratch to me.

I finally get Haley back to my neighbors house and get some ice on it to stop the swelling… and after a few minutes I re-evaluated it and let me tell ya… that was DEFINATELY a bite mark! There were like teeth indentations from the dog and the center was red and puffy. So then hubby starts down the street and taking the dogs for a walk and Haley starts to freak out thinking the dog is after her now, lol.. poor kid. My neighbor goes out there to pet the dogs and the same big white dog almost bites her hand! Try calling that a scratch, lol!! Anyhoo, eventually hubby comes to the realization that it is indeed a bite mark on Haley’s belly and cleans it and bandages it. Needless to say, Haley is not going to be liking dogs for a very loooong time. *sigh*
