what a hectic life i lead

I have not had time to write my blog as i have kept promising myself, so this morning i have got up early with Andy, grabbed a coffee and sat at the computer. The kidd household has just been so busy of late, but here is a quick run down....
Weekend of the 14th... We all went to Warmwell in Dorset with friends,we stayed in log cabins in the woods. The kids had dry ski slopes, roller blading rink, swimming pool, crazy golf, fishing , bike riding through a beautifull conservation area and so much more. Needless to say we all had a fantastic weekend and not to blow my own trumpet, I did the lot, you saw me on the ski slope, on the roller blades, (not my best performance). I took the kids swimming and guess who won the crazy golf ....yep me. i shall yet find time to put the photos up.
This week i have been on holiday, My very good friend Samantha and family has been over from New York. So on tuesday i left the kids with Andy and went off to Burnham-on -Sea to visit.We did a quick jaunt to Street to the outlet village and picked up a few bargins, Although it definately does not beat any type of New York shopping.We had a fantastic dinner in a real country pub, with the old oak beams, low ceilings , brasses hanging down the walls and all the old hunting prints on the walls.
The visit was over far to quick but i shall try and go over to see them next year, money permitting.
Andy and i have bought to new cars, mine is my dream car and drives so beautifully, i never realised how old and clangy my last one was untill i started driving this one. it is only 5yrs old and is just an updated version of the old one, but boy do i feel like a queen now.
So to Tysons update, he got rushed in again last saturday and has got a drain in, which should hopefully get rid off the rest of the fluid, it is being a long process with a lot of discomfort for him,but we are hoping that the new tablets will help and hopefully it shall be all over soon.

Just a quick update

... Life has been far to hectic in the kidd household to blog . But hey i'm still here it's just with Tyson and all his problems which are still on going and we all went away for a long weekend last week, it has just been urhhhh.
Anyway i shall endeaver to blog at the weekend if i get a chance, so bear with me a bit......

As you can see Tyson is such a laid back dog who likes nothing better in life than the luxuries it brings, he takes up 2 bits of the sofa and you get one

TYSON

I was sitting here just now saying to Andy what shall i post tonight. Well it has to be about my big slobbery babe Tyson.I don't know which is worse worrying about the kids or the 2 boys. You see with the kids they can tell you that they are unwell or that something hurts, but with the dogs they just can't.
Tyson was the first dog of our family kidd and has been an inspiration to us since having him at 12weeks old. He has given us so much joy and laughter over the last 41/2 years.He is a big solid old boy ,a gentle giant of a dog and such a huge personality. Everyone who has met him has fallen inlove with him even for those who have never liked Boxers before.
So we still have to wait, we visited the vets again tonight and now he has to go into the vets again on Wednesday for a biopsy, He will have to go in before 8.30 am and then i shall hopefully be able to pick him up that evening.I shall then have to wait another week to see if it is cancer.I dread the thought of maybe loosing him but i'm desperately trying to be positive.........

A rest

The weekend has now come and gone, and yes i did not succome . I refused to go into work. The thought of 3 weeks without a day off i decided was not an option i was going to take.
At some points i had only a very small thought of going in , this was when i had been cleaning the bathroom for over an hour. It wasn't because it was filthy, it was because it had not been done properly for 2 weeks. So the bleach came out, it now sparkles. Infact i spent the whole day yesterday cleaning and i can now happily say i'm satisfied with my effort.
Today was the dog class dog show and we were doing a sponsored stay for the Animal Cancer Trust, I decide to take Tyson in this as he is the best dog at not moving. We had to leave the dogs for 10 minutes without them moving, Bless him he did not move a muscle and earned himself £53 in sponsors . We should get the results back tommorow for the lump on his back. It has been the finish of a harrowing 2 weeks, heres hoping that the results come back that it is only a cist and not a cancerous lump.........

Living at work

It has been so far a hell of a week, i had to work Saturday, Rugby tournament all day Sunday then go straight to work for the stocktake, We are so short of staff on our department that i have also had to do full days. Jiggery pokery around with the schoolruns,try and cook decent dinners , catch up with all the household stuff and still be the lovable me.
THe hampster went back to school Monday morning complete, with a very near miss of loosing him on Friday.Tyson has had a visit to the vets on Monday night with a very weired lump appreared on his back. The vet took 2 viles of liquid from it and to say the least is a bit worrying. we have to wait till next week for the results. Meanwhile he is popping pills, which is a task in itself.
So the house of kidd is hoping for a somewhat relaxing weekend, I have been asked to go into work again this weekend, but the thought of 3weeks without a day off is just not an option, unbeknown to some it would seem i wqould like some sort of life....
