GROWING GREATNESS + LINKY PARTY

Hi gang!  For those of you who went back today I hope it was a good one . . . or at least a manageable one.  I jumped up at 5:30 ready to pump through my new garden/plant unit, but I ended up crashing and burning by 1:30 today.  Who knows what I ate, but those new guts of mine were oh-so angry with me!  I guess the doc was right . . . I am not quite ready to go back.  

With this said, I didn't exactly reach my goal today.  BUT . . . stick with me.  I should have it up tomorrow evening.  It has everything from money practice to science-based art projects.  I plan on doing a couple FREEBIES with this guy too!  Please check back in soon!  

On a blog-related note, I came across a sweet pet-themed "Linky Party" hosted by Soaring Through Second Grade! Tilly is one of the MAIN things that has kept me going through my long surgery recovery, so I figured I would join in the fun and give my pup a well-deserved shout out!  

Such a cutie! Check out her video as a pup . . . the cat
wasn't too sure about her.  I am the annoying one
in the background.

This is my girl the day we got her.
It was such a good idea the first day of Spring Break.
I had a HUGE panic attack that first Monday back to school, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions my honey and I have made!

Here she is last summer . . . helping us fish?!?

Always on watch.

Tilly goes everywhere with us. She gets so excited the moment
we break out our keys.

I could go on forever about my girl, but I will stop before I start to ramble.  Tilly is such a sweetheart and is truly part of our family.  I don't know what we'd do without her!  Tilly has taught me that "just jumping in" can turn out to be one of the best decisions you'll ever make!

Oh . . . and I can't forget to show you my other girl.  Lou is an 8-year old indoor-only cat.  She definitely has a mind of her own and dislikes most people, but not her mommy!  Lou has taught me that it is okay to eat whatever you want and NOT feel bad about yourself.
