This has definitely been one heck of a week! I am SO happy to say TGIF!! Since so much occurred, I will just condense it down to our latest top 5 happenings.
⊕ If you remember me telling you last week that I got referred over to an oral surgeon to perform the removal of my wisdom teeth, since the bottom ones are so close to my nerves, they didn’t want to risk any long term effects from it. I went to the consult this past Tuesday, and scheduled for me to have them taken out on March 7, 2016! Ahh! I have never had any major surgeries, or been put to sleep, so this will definitely be an experience for me!

⊕ I had my first week of working two night shifts (back to back, mind you) and I got off at 615am this morning and was unable to sleep today, so I am definitely pretty exhausted right now! Brielle is definitely going to have an early bed time tonight! Good thing the actual shifts were pretty good with no major accidents, incidents, or problems, so that was a definitely blessing.
⊕ Shane and I had our second environmental health inspection (since we needed to fix a LOT of things the first time around, outside of our house, and we still ended up needing to fix just 3 major things this time around.. sooner or later we will pass that portion and be done with the inspection aspect of this whole foster/adoption process. We also signed up for our very first adoption event next Thursday night in San Antonio. A lot of prayers would greatly be appreciated! 🙂

⊕ I took all 3 of our pets to get all of their yearly vaccines, heart worm/flea medicine, and a whopping $300+ later, they shall be good for the next 6 months! Yay! I loved hearing the compliments on how beautiful they are, that they look so healthy, and have great teeth, because quite frankly.. that is all what living in the country has done for them. Our cat was terrified, our brown lab was uneasy about the situation/place, and then our lab/heeler was so hyper, excited to be there. All three different personalities, so cute!
⊕ Brielle has definitely been having a toddler at-ti-TUDE lately. We were finally done with her talking back and saying “no” with some sort of explanation as to why she doesn’t want to do what we ask her to do. With a LOT of reinforcement from both Shane and myself, I can honestly say that she listens so much better, she knows that Shane and I will come as a strong force together and that she cannot manipulate one parent over the other, and that we acknowledge her feelings, but she is still going to have to do what we ask.
I hope you all have a GREAT weekend, and I cannot wait to hear what you all have been up to! If you want to keep up with me closer, you can follow me on snapchat:sheridanj2014.

Hi Sheridan. I’m dropping by from Blogger’s World and I have made a goal to visit five blogs a day and leave a comment. First, let me say you and your husband are courageous people. I can’t imagine the pain you both suffered loosing two babies, What a joy your precious daughter must bring to both of you every day.. My husband and I adopted three fur babies while traveling in Mexico and this past year we lost our girl, Bella (14 years old) and our oldest boy, Pedro (15 years old) on Christmas Eve. It’s been a trying time and all we can do is devote our time to Jorgi, (14 years old). Wisdom teeth, night shifts, vet visits and toddler attitude. I’d say you’ve had a busy week. Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you so much S.A Smith for dropping by!! I love your comment beyond words. I hope that I can send you some virtual hugs right now for the loss of your pups. I completely think they become your family, and it hurts just as much. Show Jorgi all the love in the world, and know that you and your husband always have each other, no matter what! 🙂

Best of luck with your wisdom teeth! You won’t remember a thing and an anesthesia-induced sleep is so wonderful! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by. Looks like you had an eventful week. I could never take 3 animals to the vet at the same time. I’m super impressed! Dealing with toddler attitude over here too. Some days are definitely better than others. This too shall pass, right?
