dogs and kids

I am a full-time grandmother and mom to 5 mini schnauzers Jasper, Zachary, Zoey, Daisy and Blue my hound dog schnauzer. I also have five baby schnauzers who are 5 weeks old and just about ready to go to new homes. I love babies but don't miss them when they are gone as they are a lot of work. My daughter and I love them socialize them and partially potty train them before they leave. The hardest part is to find good homes to send them to where they will be loved and cared for.

I also help raise two teens one 11 year old Katie and one 14 going on 30 Amanda who I think has every person in this state of texas phone number. She has been a little more difficult but is a sweet girl who tries hard to be tough. Momma does the brunt of the raising but I back her on most of the decisions and what we disagree on we discuss and come to an understanding. Then Mark my DH comes into the equation and throws everthing for a loop as the girls can't do anything wrong and they should have everything they want and why am I telling him NO?

Soooo between all this and a job as a nurse at the VA I love to bead and sew and do needlework when I get spare moments which is few and far between. I have a quilt I am trying to finish before the end of this month and It is a big stretch for me. sigh.... so I had better quit and get to work.
