Well as many of you know who actually read this blog I was accepted to the Sam Houston State University Educational Leadership doctoral program in March. Today I found out that I was accepted to the Texas A&M Executive Leadership doctoral program (the A&M equivalent to the SHSU program). Now this is totally awesome because I love A&M, but I am still in the middle of a big dilemma as I don't know which program to go with - as I was actually hoping I'd get in one and not the other so my decision would be made for me.
I guess the one thing that worries me is that I will chose one program, but then will wish I had chosen the other ... so now all I have to do is figure out what to do.

Friday!!
I am so happy it is Friday =) What I am not happy about is the fact that it is going to be raining all weekend =( I really hope the Earth Day festivities go on as planned tomorrow. I also hope that everyone participates in some way.....everyday!!
***edit*** Earth Day festivities have been canceled. "It is with great regret, and for the first time since the event started in 1990, we are canceling Earth Day." There is no rain date scheduled for Earth Day - for information about next year's Earth Day, please call 281 210-3900.
Do you know how sad this makes me!!!!! =( =(
Alex update: he has about 75% of his hearing back now - whoohoo!!! Thanks to everyone's well wishes and good thoughts.
I also need to get a new computer....every time I am on for longer than 10 minute it starts to get *really* hot and has a fun burning smell.

Alex
Alex ended up having a small procedure yesterday on his ears. The vet was worried his eardrums had burst, but they had not - they were just loaded with gunk!! Apparently, he had fluid and wax stuck in his ears and it was pushing against his eardrums, which was making it so he could not hear.
I think the worst part about the whole thing yesterday was the fact that they had to put him under anesthesia. He was out of it yesterday, and made a lot of sad whiny noises - which made me sad. Then, he decided he was going to stay awake all night. So what does that mean for mommy?? I was going to stay awake all night!!! Fun!!
Needless to say, I am quite tired now =) But I do think he is hearing a little bit more. Hopefully his hearing will come back completely in the next week or so.

Our Poor Pup
So, the medicine the vet gave us for Alex's ears made him deaf. Yes, you read that correctly. DEAF. Apparently that is a "very rare side effect" and "he should get his hearing back". Poor puppy.
He goes back for a check up on Monday - everyone keep your fingers crossed that his hearing comes back.

The last month
What has happened over the last month? Lots and lots!!
Andy got into the doctoral program at Sam. Woohoo for education (and tuition payments that are going to be due)!!!!
We moved into a new office at work. It is nice, but the move sure was a pain. Then after the move (after everyone worked their butts off) the biggest changes came. While there used to be 5 full time and 2 part time employees at the office (doing the work of 10 or so people), there are now 3 full time employees left. Corporate America morons have brought their wrath again. Do I still have a job? Yes. Is this good for my financial security? Yes. Is this good for my mental health? No.
They laid off the two girls who worked the front desk....leaving an empty front desk...how they thought this was a good idea is anyone's guess. Then they laid off the branch manager's assistant, who new EVERYTHING about the office and took care of everything. Again, good idea? NOPE. Then they laid off another CSA. Needless to say, all hell broke loose at the office last week. I sure could use more hours in the day - or at least some caffeine!!! HAHA!!
I got a new hair cut. I do have to apologize to the Lock of Love people - I am sorry, but I had to cut it off and I did not have 10 inches to donate. I needed a new fun look after all the crap that went on at work. It is bobbed, dark chocolate brown with purple-ish/burgundy highlights. Looks really fun in the sun =)
Alex has another ear infection and ulcer on his eye. I think we need to put the dog in a bubble!!! I really wish we could claim him on our insurance, he would contribute a large amount to the 'health' deduction!!
What else happened? I am sure lots more, but work has used all of my energy and brain power for today =)
