One Week Down

I'm at the conclusion of my first week home. With the new puppy and all the cleaning I said I'd do, I have yet to turn the tv on all week. I'm proud of myself.
Monday I took the pup to the vet, dropped off items for donation at the local thrift store, showed the pup off to my sister in law, cooked dinner early so it would be ready before I had to go to class. My father came over to watch my daughter while I went to school. In the 20 minutes that he was here and dinner was still cooking, he ate all my vegetables, some peanuts, salad, and chips. I had to tell him to wait for me to serve my daughter so they could eat together! He's like the bottomless pit, and he says he's on a diet.
Tuesday it was frigid over here. I was out with the dog every hour or two and thought my fingers were going to break off if they so much as tapped into something. By 2 o'clock both the puppy and I needed a nap.
Yesterday I attempted to clean that one closet in the home where I throw all my stuff when company is coming. I'm sure everyone has that one spot that gets dumped on.  Mine happens to be in the dining room. An hour into it, I gave up, but I did get one whole trash bag and another for donation. I'm rescheduling to finish at a later date.
Today's Friday. Stopped at Target after dropping off my daughter at school. Picked up some puppy shampoo and toothpaste. Stopped at Petco and Panera on the way home inquiring about work. Everything is online these days so I came home and filled out the applications. Fingers crossed they have day part time where I don't need to put my daughter back into before or aftercare - and that I get an offer.  I also stopped by the research lab and signed up to be a human guinea for a study. At least I've got that going for  some income. My last paycheck should also be mailed out to me today.  I already said what that money was going to go towards, but with my brain, I forgot.  Gave the dog a bath, NOT fun for either of us. After school today my daughter and I are going to make homemade valentine's for her class on Monday. Still got to get the hubby a little something for the holiday. Any suggestions?
