Day 27,28,29, and 30

Sunday is ususally our day off, but this week was Open House for Wolf Park so we had a busy day. So us Interns and some volunteers met with Dana at 11:30(the open house started at 1:00 and ended at 4:00) and went over the days events. I started out helping in the Eduction Building where the kid activities were going on. There was a short video about dog safety(very funny) coloring book, etc. After spending an hour in the Ed building I went on a tour(I'll soon have to give tours myself) where I had to make sure people stayed as a group(didn't work). Erich was talking to people in the Observation building for the day, so that was a special thing for the people to do. For the last hour of the day I worked on crowd control which consists of making sure people don't wander around the park by themselves, making sure nobody runs(kids mostly),and other things like that. After the open house was closed I went out to dinner with Kayla and her Aunt and Uncle, then went back to their house and played Wizard(I got some sorbet for dessert).


    I didn't want to get up Monday since Sunday was such a busy, but I had to since we had to clean the cooler, and butcher and feed. Matt and I cleaned the cooler while Kayla and Josh butchered the deer, then while all the other fed I washed the knives and stuff from butchering and did dishes at Irv and took out the trash. By the time the rest if the interns came back it was time to take lunch. After lunch we went down to the Observation building and watched the wolves for awhile(although this was because we were waiting for the staff meeting to be over so we could start on our next task). I was very interesting because we watched them feed on the carcass that had been put in their enclosure earlier that day. Kalani(the Alpha Female ate before anyone else and growled at anyone got to near. Wolfgang(the Alpha Male) found 2 'Scooby Snacks'(unborn baby deer for anyone who's interested) ate one and the other one was stolen by Dharma(the puppy). Ruedi of course would eat last being the Omega(lowest ranking wolf) and Woton had already stolen a few pieces of meat. After the staff meeting was over we got to get started on things for the upcoming Easter event... We started stuffing candy into plastic eggs. While we did these we watched Shaun of the Dead(Awesome Movie!!!!!). We we'll be continuing art of putting candy in to the eggs when we get more candy.


Tuesday was my turn to do "meatballs" so I had to get up early... Went down stairs to work on Holly's list o schools while we watched Jurassic Park... The listing o school didn't last long because we has to start put the address' on cards looking for donations for the wolves b-day party(It will be on the last day I'm here so that will be an awesome way to end my stay here) which took more the whole movie to do(we watched the making of Jurassic Park after it ended, it was very interesting). We took a quick lunch after that and the helped get letters off to our wolves sponsors. This took until about 4:00pm to finish and then it was time to do evening "meatballs". We played a game of Wizard and then went to Walmart on a movie run. I found What's Eating Gilbert Grape!!!!!!

 Today was a very exciting day, after we had an educational interlude about Ethology we got to go in with main pack again, but this time they kept Wolfgang in there with us. Everything went well Wolfgang acutally came up and licked me a lot in the face. At one point Wotan was behind me while Wolfgang was licking me some it created a wolf sandwich with me in the middle of it(awesome, but a little bit scary for a second), Matt had already finished with the feeding for today so we didn't have to worry about that after we got to hang with the wolves. The Afternoon consisted of staining boards for the shelves for the giftshop.

Day 24,24, and 26

              Thursday started off with finding that it was freezing again!!!!!!!With the nice weather we had for the past days, it was an unpleasant  surprise. A school bus showed up for a tour(we didn't know about the private tour so it was a surprise when a school bus was coming up the road. At 10:00 we went out with Amanda to fix fences(Horrible day to have to touch metal with it being freezing). After 2 hours I left early because Amanda didn't need all of us and by that time my feet were pretty much frozen. After lunch we went to meet Amanda again to solve the problem with the bison gate. The Problem is the fence that is up now is exactly wolf proof. The wire hang so far above the ground when shut a wolf could possible get out. So it was off to the a farm type store. We had to find something that was flexable enough to fit the uneven ground, but heavy enough to keep the wolf from getting under it. Found nothing at the farm store so it was off to Lowes. We found some screening that it very strong(we took a screwdriver to it to see how strong it was, and decided we put the chain on the bottom of that(success hopefully...). We then got to meet some of Amanda 12 cats and then got back to IRV at almost 5(the day passes so quickly). We watched Lord of the Ring:The Two Tower which was on until about 12:30(It really is a long movie) and then it was off to bed.


    Friday this week was my day to do the "meatballs" and it was yet again a chilly morning. After I got back we went off to clean enclosures. This consists of clean up all the bones, leftover parts, and feces out of the wolves pen. We did half the main enclosure(One side of the Lake) and then two pens that are empty right now. Matt did the feeding while we did this so that was already done. After the lunch break  we found some plastic Easter eggs for the up coming Easter event(John still going to buy a lot more eggs and we get to fill the all when he buys the candy). We then started cleaning for the Open House(the admission is free) which will go from 1-4 this Sunday.  Sweeping, vacuuming, window cleaning, garbage and setting chairs up were included in the task that had to be done. We also had to take a small vac to the swarm of the seemingly endless amount of the nasty Asian beetles that look like lady bugs(except they bite, give off an awful scent and are evil!!!). We didn't even put a dent in getting rid of them because there are just some many( in the education building). Did morning "meatballs" and had to give a Tramidol to Willow because she was limping. We went on a late trip to Walmart and then came back and watched Super Troopers.

Saturday got off to a slow start since we have most of the day off. Had breakfast and then watched The Lost Boys. After that hung around for a while and then went to see Suckerpunch. Suckerpunch was an 'eh' movie in my opinion not horrible like Riding Hood, but not really that good( Kayla loved it), Got Lunch at Wendy's(I let the boys use my Subway card I just didn't feel like Subway again and Wendy's was right there...) After that we got to rest a bit before Howl Night. It was cold again for this Howl Night(Unlike last week when it was pretty nice), but people showed up anyway...  After Howl Night ended we went to LBC's for a late dinner....

Day 22 and 23

Tuesday consisted mostly of working on the gift shop. We had to move a bunch of the tables and stuff around trying to make it look more like a gift shop. One of the new shelves that we helped worked on is done and we started putting shirts on it. Dharma came and 'helped' us out(she pulled some sweatshirts down and knocked over stuff mostly) After that we had lunch and spent the rest of the day working on stuff for Holly(We tried to watch Green Street Hooligans, but the DVD wouldn't work so we ended up watching Kickass because Matt had never watched it).

Today we watched a PowerPoint on Submission versus Fear and then we got to meet most of the main pack(We met Dharma, Wotan, and Ruedi. Kalani and Wolfgang got put up because they aren't good with new people). It was noon by the time we left the wolves so we took lunch(Subway) and watched a couple of episodes of South Park. The other went to feed and butcher and I stayed behind to wait for some people who were coming to help us out(they ended up not coming until after three so everyone was back then).  We worked on trimming the perimeter trail for a while and then took the volunteers on a tour of the park. Went to Blue Nile for ethnic night it was tasty!!!!!

Day 17,18,19,20,21

Sorry I haven't posted for a while I've been to busy, or too tired, to blog the past few days so I'll type what I remember...

So Thursday was St. Patrick's day I went on my first adventure of "meatballs" as a free person, course there ended up to be a lot of people there due to some communications, but it all went well anyways. After that we cleaned IRV which involved sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the bathrooms. After lunch we helped Amanda with fixing gates. Evening "Meatballs" ended the day of work and the boys went out on a St. Patty's day adventure, while us girls stayed at home and watched watched The Boondock Saints(again I know).

Friday started of a little slow with the day after St. Patty's day high. At 9:30 there was a Private tour and we tagged along. Dharma went with us on her leash and seemed very excited. We then took lunch and the boys worked on  butchering and feeding and I worked on finding the school in Illinois(I'm up to M now)

Saturday went by pretty slow because we didn't have that much we needed to do. We cleaned out the trucks and stuff. I don't really remember what we did for the rest of the day, but I feel like we rested for the most part. That night was the full moon Howl night and was also be the super moon. It was pretty much to cloudy to see it so that was a little disappointing. The wolves seemed ambed and ready to go though. I stayed and helped with the gift shop for the night. We had a great turnout(Super moon and nice weather was to thank!!!!!!) Went out to LBC's after Howl night.

Sunday was also a easy day because we don't have any daily duties that we had to complete. Went to see the new movie Paul. It's by the same people who did Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead(I've seen Shaun of the Dead and really like it). I was a lot better then Riding Hood so it wasn't a waste of seven dollars. We got lunch from Subway and headed back to Wolf Park where we got to see Renki tear up a stuffed animal that the researchers left(the rest went to Marian) We also got to go visit Kiri in his cage and that was pretty cool. We also went on a trip to Walmart and I found the movie A Hard Day's Night and also got a copy of The Boondock Saints.

Today began with Morning "meatballs" We got the new Wolf Park Sign up today. It's huge and has a picture of Wotan on it. I think they started the sign project like a year and a half ago so it's good that it's finally done. After that we took lunch break and went to butcher and feed. We then spent some time trimming back brambles and such from the trail that leads around the park. After we got back we discovered that and new bison calf had been born today(it took us awhile to spot it, but it is really cute. Another private tour today and then evening "meatballs" ended the day. 

Day 14, 15, 16

Monday-
Went on "meatball" rounds, but after that we had a pretty easy day. Butchering and feeding went pretty fast and then we worked on target school where we have to finds all k-12 school in Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. While we worked on that we put on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We also found a horrible song that is entitled Friday by Rebbecca Black, and though it like the worse song ever it's hilarious so you should look it up on youtube if you want to have a good laugh...

Tuesday-
Started out a little differently. I did go out for morning "meatballs", but I went out alone with Pat and got cleared to to it without the supervision of the of the 'senior' intern Matt... After "meatball" clearance went back to IRV to change because I was soaked. We we're originally supposed to stain the shelves, but it wasn't ready so that went on the wayside. Instead we worked on the target school while watching Mystery Men and the Fellowship of the Ring . Also a book that was written by a thirteen and twelve year old is going to be soon sold in the gift shop. It's a really cute story about wolves and is kind of like the Warriors series about cats. So didn't have to go on evening "meatballs" because Kayla was getting cleared. At six we went on our weekly visit to see Erich which was interesting even though he did tell us some of the same stories. He has has a very interesting life growing up in Germany, while WWII was going on, he was also saved by his German Shepard once, he also talked about his days as a teacher. After talking to Erich for a while we went out to eat at Subway and didn't spened any money because of the gift card Grandma gave me(YAY!!!!!!).

Wednesday-
Today I didn't have to get up to do "meatballs" and was glad to be able to sleep in for once. The Educational interlude today was about reason why a wolf might be taken out of the main pack. There's a whole range of reasons for retirement from the main pack. One of the most strong ones was from Tristan. Tristan used to be the Alpha Male of a pack that at the his removale included Wolfgang, Wotan, Kalani, and Ruedi who are all still part of the main pack with Dharma. Renki was also still in  the main pack at the time. Wolfgang and Wotan had begun to already start to summit less to Tristan at this point and the staff had started to talk about removing Tristan from the pack, but none of them saw any immediate danger of keeping him in the main pack. On July 3, 2009 a Howl night packed with people, Wolfgang and Wotan started to pick a fight with Tristan. The fight escalated and although Tristan was giving it his all and Rudei and Renki were putting in some cheap shots to help Tristan it wasn't really a fair fight. Tristan was able to escape by swimming over to the other side of the lake and was of course immediately removed from the pack. After that all the wolves started to get moved around to different enclosures. This was because they were reintroducing Ayla to Tristan and Renki.  They got moved in to the main enclosure for the day(neutral territory) while the main pack took over Miska and Marian's pen. Miska and Marian moved into Kiri's old pen which Kiri had been taken out of after the gate broke(it's fixed now) Erin and Chetan are now in Tristan and Renki's pen and Kiri was moved back in to a smaller enclosure. Eclipse was the only wolf(The coyotes stayed where they were too) who pen stayed the same(and Ayla later tonight when they put her Tristan and Renki in her old enclosure. The reason Ayla had been removed for a few months was because when breeding season came around a strange love triangle developed. Renki wanted to mate with Ayla, but Ayla was trying to court Tristan who didn't want anything to do with her. After playing musical enclosures we butchered and fed and by that time it was already four.

Wolves Howling video

This is a video of the wolves howling, I tried to upload it before, but it was taking to long so I gave up.... it's takes a very long time to upload stuff like this it's a very annoying wait. You might notice a bell in the background of the video, it's something that we have to wear while giving out "meatballs" it's so the wolves learn to come up to the fence, so we can give them medicine if they ever need it...

Day 11, 12, and 13

 Friday-
  Morning "meatballs" and butchering in the morning. Took a break after that, then it was time for lunch worked on finding all the elementary school in Illinois, while watching Jurassic Park. I had forgot what a good movie Jurassic Park is.  Helped with the research about wolves with Clive's students. Dharma was more interested in what was inside the can(which was rocks) then acutally doing the experiment to see if wolves will g to where you point(they will) After that evening "meatballs" and going out to eat at TC's.

Saturday-
"meatballs" in the morning, then a day spent at Clive's seminar. Very interesting experiments with dogs and wolves. Lunch and a hour or so break from Clive's seminar gave us some down time and then for seminary stuff where we learned about all the stray dogs of Moscow and about the Siberian foxes. evening "meatballs" and then Howl Night. After that watched a weird Anime called Akira.

Sunday-
  Was a very lazy kind of day. Morning "meatballs" and then all tasks were done until evening. We took advantage of this and watched 300. After that we watched Boondock Saints. By then it was four and we went to see the new Red Riding Hood movie which was terrible. After evening "meatballs" we went to Taco Bell and got some dinner.


Also the researchers moved out of our house today so now we have the house to ourselves again. we can now spread out and all have our own rooms!!!!!!I also finished Jurassic Park the book(I liked it, but I liked the ending in the movie better because it was happier). I am now reading a book the is named The Black Dahlia Avenger which is about, the 1947 murder case of the "Black Dahlia" and so far it's just explaining what happened. I think it will later gone on to tell about solving the crime some 45 years later.

Day 9 and 10

Wednesday-
    Morning "meatballs", then it was off to all our other jobs. I got out of butchering again because I made up the binders for Clive Wynne's seminar(YAY menial tasks and no blood!!!!!!). It again was almost as easy as the newsletters, all of the binders had the pamphlet name tags, names on the front, a map of Lafayette, and a certificate saying the completed the seminar. I also went online and checked the calender on the Wolf Park website for any errors on the dates. After  that the deer had be butchered and we enjoyed a nice lunch. After lunch our intern fun day continued with garbage and ended with "Meatballs" After we were all finished with the days work us interns, most of Clive's group, and a few staff members all went out to Bombay Indian Restaurant.

Thursday-
Today we didn't have to do morning "meatballs" because a couple of the interns were doing it. When I got up this morning I found  a mouse caught in a mouse trap, but it was caught it's leg so it wasn't dead(It ended up running away in the house again). Anyways after that we set up for Clive's seminar which took a while, then set up for a board meeting that will be happening tomorrow. The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, Josh and I went down to visit the foxes and I got some really good pictures of Ember(Devon didn't want to come out today). We also got to help with one of Clive's students research. It was a point experiment with the wolves. I filmed it with their camera. It was interesting, but it was very cold out today. After that we did evening "meatballs" and when we got back to IRV I got my care package that grandma Gaye sent(YAY!!!!!!!) 

I've been reading the book of Jurassic Park and so far I've found it very interesting!!!!!!



Pics: (YAY it finally working!!!!!")


Alya: I really love this pic of Alya, she's a very sweet girl and is living by herself right now, but usually lives with two other wolves Tristan and Renki

 Kiri: This is Kiri, He's the oldest wolf here and he just loves food, of any kind, he reminds me a lot of a corgi, and instead of howling he rues, which is just so adorable

 

Dharma: This is our puppy here at Wolf Park. I got puppy kisses from her my very she first day her. Since she is the "puppy" around here she hasn't really taken a place in the main  pack yet, but the staff thinks she will become the new Alpha female when she stops being a puppy.

Willow:  This is on of our Coyotes here and she goes by the name of Willow. Don't let this picture fool you she enjoy to enjoy the heck out of Twister her companion and also enjoys the art of stalking

Twister: Twister is a Coyote that some people might think has a high temper, he gets annoyed with Willow any time us interns are around and also doesn't like you to mess with his water

Meatballs:  This are the meatballs we put medication in to feed to the wolves we use many things to make the meatballs, most wolves get hot dogs since we get them free, plus most of the wolves that get hot dogs don't get medicine. other meatball substances include dog food, summer sausage, cheese, and cream cheese

Day 7 and 8

Monday-
As always the day started off with "meatballs",  took us a while to wake up Kiri the oldest wolf here at Wolf Park. Then Josh and I went to help in the gift shop while Kayla and Matt went to butcher and then sand some more of the shelving unit. In the gift shop I first scraped off some old stickers that needed to come off then I set out to rearrange the stuffed animals on the shelves the Josh and Caity brought in. After we were finished with the Gift shop we went to join Matt and Kayla in the art of sanding(the butchering was already done YAY!!!!!!). Thankfully the sanding went a lot quicker because Alastair was back with a hand sander, so the only thing us interns had to sand the slower way was the sides and corners. After that we broke for lunch. Pushed so fur in to vials for the gift shop, but then I jammed the laminator and we couldn't move on with the bookmarks(none of us knew how to really use it...)  Gave out evening "meatballs" and fed the wolves at the same time because of the research going on here at Wolf Park this week. After all the work was good and done we ate dinner played Uno(Matt won twice I won once) and Monty Python Fluxx(I won both games and then it was off to bed.

 Tuesday-
Today I have been officially here for on whole week!!!!!!!!!!!! Morning "meatballs" and then a slow start for the day. We only have one or two hand sanders right now so Josh and Kayla took up the sanding job. While they were doing that Matt and I did the inventory and then after awhile he went to get the trash and recycling from Erich house(I met up there with him because I saw him and decided to help him. After that I got a new job I needed to do, the ice treat container. They were really disgusting and filled with moldy hot dogs and rotten fish. I had to wash them all out. This took a very long time, and I was so glad to be through with it when I was done. Lunch followed, with the Sanding and everything else done we didn't really have much to do. We tried(and failed) to unjam the laminator machine and shredded the office paper. Then we got are next duty for the day, placing the address sticker on the newsletter. A very easy task yes, but also not a very thrilling job. We got all the stickers put on the news letter(there was a man named Peter Parker who lives in New York, it's a Spiderman reference for anyone who might be confused.) We finished up the day with our meeting with Erich who is always interesting to listen to(he has a lot of stories). My first week here at wolf Park has been fun and a learning experience and I have loved every second of it!!!!!!!!

Day 6

Sunday-
Today was another one of those easy days. I woke up to a ground covered with snow(eh snow), we gave the wolves their morning "meatballs",and other than evening "meatballs" we didn't have any other tasks that we had to get done. We first cleaned out the human fridge. People have left a lot of butter, so we'll probably be making cookies some time in the future. We than began our adventurous trip to Walmart for a shopping trip. We first went the wrong way getting there. We got there, got our shopping done and left. We soon discovered that the directions didn't work in reverse. Kayla's aunt and uncle lived nearby where we ended up so we tried getting directions from them, but soon got lost again. In the end we went back to Walmart Josh bought a gps system and we finally found our way back here. After eating a long wanted lunch we moved some deer and a calf in to the cooler to thaw, then sanded for a while.  Evening "meatballs" followed. We went a got chinese food after this(this was my reward for guessing the right amount of people who would show up for Howl Night. Worked on my power point presentation for a while and now I 'm here writing in my blog!!!!!! Yay that was my exciting day today!!!!!!

Day 4 and 5

Friday-
Today at Wolf Park. Woke up, and gave wolves their morning "Meatballs." After that education interlude in the education building(yep educational things happening in the education building what a surprise). That was cool, it was a webinar done by  a man named Clive who's group has been studying dog cognition and has also study the wolves here at wolf park to see how they do with the same tests. In earlier studies all the wolves did worse than the dog, but the difference between the studies that they did and the one the Clive's group did was that the wolves here were familiar the people who preformed these test whereas in earlier studies they weren't. After that we sanded some more. Following the seemingly endless sanding project, the vet for the animals here came by. She did a check up on one of the foxes Devon. after they were done taking blood etc, Amanda took her on a short walk, let all of us interns pet her, and then Devon was happy to be put back in her cage. The vet also looked at Dharma and Kalani from the main pack. Dharma for a pregnancy test and Kalani to check out some menstrual bleeding thing. After that the vet did check-ups on Tristian(his teeth) and Kiri(he's just really old). The last thing we did for the wolves that night was evening "meatballs", after the full day of events I watched the movie Kickass and then it was off to bed.

Saturday-
Today started of with morning "meatballs". I wasn't that cold when we set of for morning "meatballs, but after Pat's safety lecture about wolf behavior it was freezing. Other than the we didn't do much that afternoon. I was a photo seminar day so there were people there taking pictures of the wolves. So I ate lunch an relaxed for the afternoon. Played chess that ended in a stillmate(I killed all of Kayla's other pieces so that made me happy. That evening we learned all about the Howl night procedure. turning all the lights on, opening up the gate, unlocking doors etc. All the interns had placed bets about how many people would show up for Howl night the number were as follows 5,11,13,15 at last count I think that there were 13 people there so I'm pretty sure I won the bet. Anyways after that we did all opposite stuff to shut down after Howl Night and now we're finished(hoorah). I think the first Howl night went very well considering it was flurrying(I am so tired of the snow enough is enough!!!!) I'm tired from a week of work here, but I'm alreadying in love with being here with the wolves, coyotes and foxes!!!!!!!!

Wolf Park: Day 2 and 3

Wednesday- 
My second day at Wolf Park!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! And Ew ... So yesterday my orientation continued. 7:50 woke up. 8:00 watched the "meatballs" for the wolves being made. "Meatballs" are used to give wolves medication that they need. Interns make them in the morning before 10(because there is a 6 hour minimum waiting period between the medication giving) and again around four.  After that we had to learn how to chop up the deer for the wolves. I was able to get through most of it without being too disgusted by having to butcher up a dead deer until that is we got to the guts!!!!!! I almost barfed!!!!! The guts are just so disgusting!!!!! So lessons learned from that I think I'll be able to butcher the deers for the wolves, but I'm not so sure about those guts. Then we wen t around and threw the food to the wolves which wasn't as bad. Anyways after that lunch, nothing exciting there. After the lunch break we went down and got our fox clearance. We went in to their pen with Amanda who take most of the duties involving the two foxes Ember and Devon. We got to feed them dead mice, by holding one mice in our hand and waiting for them to come up to us and take it. The last thing we did was evening "meatballs" That night we went out to dinner at and Irish pub and restaurant and that's about it.

Thursday-
So today started the same as yesterday "meatballs" galore. After "meatballs" we went over safety protocols with John. The interns also had to start sanding parts for a shelving unit today, Since we have to get all the ink and stuff off it's going to take awhile, but that's okay. Dharma and Woton were let in to the west field which is usually for the bison and we got to watch the run around for awhile. Evening "meatballs" and then we played a card game called wizard I watched a couple of my shows on the internet and now here I am about to go to bed.

Just a note  I will try to post everyday if I get the chance, but with the schedule I'm going on right now I'm pretty much beat. So that just means I won't be making any promises about posting everyday. So that's been a whirlwind tour of my past two days at Wolf Park!!!!!!!!


 So today

Wolf Park Day 1

  Well I've finally arrived at Wolf Park!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mom and I arrived here after a detour from a flooded road, anyways I'm just so exicted to be here now. There are five people including me in the house right now. Their names are Kayla, Matt, Casey, and Josh. They all seem like very nice people although it is kind of weird to be the youngest person in the house. Kayla my roommate is really cool and nice. She's from Canada and I think we've hit it off right away(She says she thinks of me as the little sister she never had). . I haven't really haven't had the chance to get to know the others in the house yet(Casey is leaving tomorrow, so that's to bad) but they all seem like nice people too.
  After we went over all the rules and toured the camp I got to interact with my first wolf!!!!!!! Dharma is a sweet almost one year old wolf pup. Since she's not considered an adult yet in wolf terms she still has a very puppy like personality. We knelt down and got to pet her and lick our faces, it made me excited all over again to finally be here.
  In the evening we got to meet Wolf Park's founder and Owner Erich Klinghammer, who if you can't tell by his name is German. He is a very sweet, nice man. He was born in 1930 in Germany and grew up during WWII. The war ended when he was fifteen and after seeing the horrors of the concentration camps he moved to the U.S with help from a friend. He opened Wolf Park in 1973 and has since turned it in to what it is today. He has six dogs (four chihuahuas, 2 German Shepards), five cats, and a bunch of birds). He's funny and easy to get along with.
After such a busy day I'm just exhausted and plan to read some of my book and then go to bed. Another busy day is planned for tomorrow,I best be ready for it!!!!!!!!!
