Did you see me yesterday?  It’s very likely you could have since I was all.over.creation!  I’ve been clumping all my errands into one BIG outing, when possible, and that makes for a very long day.   Yesterday was the Boss of all normal errand days, so I thought you might wanna read about it and then say,

“Why Mother Hen, you poor thing!  Your dogs must really be barkin’!”

. . . you know. . .

. . .  in your comment!  {hint, hint!}

Idiom Definitions for ‘My dogs are barking’

When someone says this, they mean that their feet are hurting.

So, here we go.

1. Took Hubs and Calico Zak to work.
2. Took Billy Bones to the Oncologist for his annual check up.  (Fear not, all is well!)
3. Dropped by the house to pick up the lunch that my workin’ men forgot.
4. Delivered same to the warehouse.
5. Drove thru at the bank.
6. Shopping at Stuff Mart.
7. Shopping at Sun Harvest (local health-food store).
8. Fast-food lunch.
9. Quick stop at the feed store for wire, hay, and pellets.  I love it there!
10. Home, gotta empty the car!  (So tired I wanna stay!)
11. Out to the grocery for the whole week’s worth!
12. Home again, home again, jiggity-jig!  (I think “jiggity jig” is French for “Y’all!  I’m tired!”
13. Pick-up Hubs and Calico from work.
14. Drop Hubs off at the Men’s Meeting.  His parting shot is, “Pick me up at 9, please.” (I see a second car in our near future.)

Of course, my cell phone and camera were big players in our day.

During item #1 I used my camera to show the Oncologist the videos of Billy Bones having his tic episodes.  Since the boy is having greatly reduced symptoms now, I wanted the doc to see just how severe the symptoms had been.

Doctor G. was so impressed that he borrowed my camera and took it down the hall to show all the Pediatric Neurologists, none of which had ever seen the like.  That is, Chronic Tic Disorder associated with Strep Throat, known in the biz as P.A.N.D.A.S. (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections)  There is some controversy as to whether or not this condition even exists.  Funny, that.  I vote yes.  Not too hard to make that call when you’ve seen your child go through it.  Anyway, Billy Bones was quite the celebrity to all the specialists on the 8th floor.

Between items #9 and #10 I got the call letting me know that B.B.’s blood work came back perfect (YAY!)  and asking me to email the video to the doc.  I guess he isn’t done showin’ off my boy.

During items #13 and #14 Billy Bones was on the phone with Adam McManus, who was interviewing Charlie Zahm on the radio!  My boy was winning some CDs of Charlie Zahm’s music.  (B.B.’s favorite music!)  B.B. was even on the air, briefly!  That completes B.B.’s total-media exposure!  He’s now been on T.V., in the local newspaper (both when he was sick and got his wish from the Make-a-Wish Foundation), on the internet (his blog), and now on local radio!  He’s so famous!

By the way, if you’re in the area, there is a Charlie Zahm concert this Saturday (March 27th) at Bulverde Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m.!

And the final phone call I received yesterday was from Hubs, telling me that he could catch a ride home!  YAY!
