Lessons learned...

Today PupPupMagee had class. His instructor said he is a very quick learner. He has learned kiss, high-five, here, go, come, release, up, down, etc. He loves to learn. The trainer wants me to teach him lap, where PPM will sit on the lap of the person requesting. :) Can't wait to show that one to Fathead when he gets home. The instructor wants PPM to meet with a Great Dane. She said they are the same age and size so it should be interesting. PPM is very friendly so I'm not worried about him biting. And, when other dogs growl at him, PPM just smiles and wags his tail. I think he knows in his head he can take the dog, since usually the dog is way smaller than him. :)
I'm over my cold. Thank goodness. I couldn't take that much longer. I still have a small cough, but not as bad as it was a week ago. I'm just glad to be alive and if I have to have a cold every now and then to prove it, well, bring it on!
The Relief Society won the "Battle of the Cultures" last Friday night. The pinata was a hit...no pun intended. :) Everybody had great information to pass along about their countries. I learned about Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Poland, and of course, Mexico. The Bishop even wrote a letter thanking me for my input for the activity. I just thank the RS ladies for providing all of the candy and food. It wouldn't have worked without either.
I have received all of the letters the MIL has sent to Fathead in Iraq. I love that she constantly says that she hates sending him bad letters while he is in harms way, but then she still sends the letter. Can't she wait to pick fights until Fathead is safe on American soil? I just think she doesn't get how dangerous her letters are to Fatheads health. They distract him from focusing on the one thing that matters right now...his safety. I'm disgusted that she is doing this now. Her feeling is that Fathead is out from under my "thumb" and therefore can be reasoned with. She doesn't know me. She doesn't know our relationship. The worst part is that there is no reasoning with her. Fathead tells her what is going on and she just says it is more proof that he is being abused. Anybody who knows Fathead and me knows there is no abuse going on in this relationship. The only abuse going on is the abuse MIL is dishing out. Shame on her for choosing a time when Fathead needs to be focusing on keeping his head down to pick a fight with him. Truly disgusting. As for posting the letters, I scanned them, but blogspot doesn't allow PDF's to be posted. However, you tell me you want to see them and I'll make it happen. It will make you feel better about your MIL. :)
Well, I'm off to bed. Gotta get to Walmart tomorrow for stuff for Fathead. :)
