Getting The Family Ready

I decided on Wednesday to get my household ready for my surgery. So after breakfast we hopped into the car and headed to civilization. You see we live out in the middle of nowhere, so that to buy any provisions means a 35 minute ride to stores.

The first stop was Agway where I bought the doggies their special cookies. You see Fritz will only eat Iams Diet Dog Cookies. This actually has a cute story behind it.

When Fritz came to our home, our Shubi was having health problems and could only eat the Iams Diet Dog Cookies. Fritzi seemed to like these better than the puppy cookies, so we just gave these to him too. Well here he is almost 4 years later and these are the only cookies he will eat!

I bought two big boxes of these cookies and then we headed to Wal-Mart to buy their canned food. I have always used Pedigree canned food for my dogs and they all really love it. I stocked up, and this should last for the next two or three weeks. I also got them their “Dingo Bones”. Now whoever invented these things obviously knew what they were doing, as all four dogs go crazy for these things. I’m not sure these will last the entire recovery time, but well, it is a start!

Then we headed to the grocery store where I was able to buy some TV Dinners for Hubby, which is sort of odd because the ones I bought today were actually for breakfast. Would you call them TV Breakfasts? I also have a bunch of easy freezer meals ready and I got a few things like those new crock pot meals so food shouldn’t be a problem.

Hubby took me out for lunch at a Chinese Buffet, and when the waiter asked how many seniors Hubby replied “One.” And then I added, “Yep one senior and one hot young chick!” The waiter smiled and I hope it was because he thought Hubby was lucky.

Upon arriving at home the dogs greeted us with their usual gusto and then once we put all the food away, we got a phone call that our Jeep was done at the shop and had passed inspection. Yippee.

Tomorrow we store the winter clothes in the attic and I work on more of preparing the family for my departure.

The funny thing is, they will probably be just fine and all my fussing and worrying will have been unnecessary. I just like to think I’m indispensable!
