So, last night we were so traumatized by seeing Marley & Me (even though I read the book) that we decided to let all the babies sleep with us. In case you aren't aware all the babies consist of 4 dogs (Chihuahua, Chinese Crested, Boston Terrier, Boxer) and 2 cats. We have tried this once in the past and it did not work out and at 3am I ended up getting up and putting all the dogs in their cages and kicking the cats out. But I love my babies so let's go.
Starts out not too bad. I'm on my side, Paul's on his side, and between us lies Beast (chihuahua), Sasha (Boxer) and Jojo (Boston terrier). Beauty (chinese crested) is under the covers by my feet and somewhere on the bed is Simba (cat). Sherman (cat) does not really do dogs so he came in, saw our hot mess, and left.
And I was tired so I thought for sure I would fall asleep quickly as I felt pretty relaxed...but then I was too hot...and then someone was snoring (Sasha, Jojo?)...and then I had to pee...and then...and then...
And so time marched on and I lay awake as pets and Paul slept all around me. It was one of those nights where I drifted in and out of sleep, never fully falling into a deep sleep. It was a LONG night! Even after Paul got up and let the dogs out and then put them into their cages for a little bit I couldn't fall asleep.
Now I am exhausted and drinking coffee and hoping for some motivation as the thought of going to the grocery is too overwhelming at this level of tiredness.
On It's Me or the Dog Victoria was working with a Chinese Crestged who was mean and thought the house was her own personal toilet. I swear she was Beauty's twin! I tivo'd it in case I need to reference it again in the future and got some very good ideas (umbilical leash here we come!) for my dog who currently wears a diaper (and pees in the diaper on occassion which was so not the intention when I bought it--I thought it'd keep her from peeing at all!). Of course the next dogs were Great Danes and watching the Great Dane knock over his owner made me laugh hysterically! Of course I'm mean like that. :(
All I want to do now is go by Wii fit and Nintendo DS games (wedding planner game here I come!) because I think my Sim Castaway is not happy and is losing her will to live (not my fault...can't find any tools or food!).
Almost 11am and still rocking my jammies...nice! Oh well. We have a wedding at 3pm so I'll get dressed eventually...
Wife, mother, Rodan + Fields consultant, Adjunct Professor....love my family, friends, wine, and God.
