One Of Those Days

It is one of those days.  Because it was one of those nights.

Ug.  Jacob had a nap, because I had to have a nap.  So he was up late.  I mean late, late.  Then Doug gets crabby because he likes to go to bed at the same time as I do.  Well, I think we are the only family in America that all go to bed at the same time. 

Then, because Jacob has to have Blackie right up in his face while he sleeps so he can rub Blackie's ear while he sucks his thumb, while he falls asleep.  I'm ready to get rid of all three dogs.  I'm just SICK of it.  Dog hair, mud, they all eat poop in one form or another...the puke all over....I LOVE my dogs, don't get me wrong....but when I'm tired and they have ANYTHING to do with it...I'm just done.

So last night, it's already late, I'm finally settling into bed, getting sleepy, and Jacob comes in screaming.  Blackie scratched his cheek.  Got him pretty good.  He refused to go back into his room unless I put Blackie in his cage.  Well THAT wasn't happening as his cage is in the mudroom.

And Doug was sleeping....[at least he better have been].....so Jacob got his sleeping bags and slept on the floor in our room.  I was SO irritated that I was wide awake again, and didn't get to sleep til almost 3.  Then I was up at 7:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.  Yeah.  Four and a half hours.  Not so much.

So I'm tired, cranky, and tired.  Did I mention tired? Ug. So anyway.  The good news is that 3 more posts will make 800!!!  Calls for some sort of getaway if you ask me....I just have to figure out what...stay tuned!

Oh Kerri, I am so sorry. I have two dogs myself, and sometimes I feel exactly the same way!! They can be every bit as much of a handful as more children! (Trust me, I really do know!) Hope you get some sleep tonight. Hot tea or hot cocoa and a nice warm blanket ought to help!!

I really dislike when one of those nights turns into one of those days! I can't believe 800 posts soon....I am soooo struggling for something to blog about lately!

Love Changes Everything by Micah Berteau - A Book Review

If you're not familiar with the story of Hosea and Gomer in the Bible, it's really quite shocking.  Here's my brief synopsis...
