House Guest...

Well, we have a new house guest.
My sister has gone to Arkansas for the week and left her dog with us.
Sydney has made herself more than comfortable at our humble abode.

My children are enamored with her. Last night after football practice Lance laid of the floor with her and tried to use her as pillow. He quickly got up when she passed gas (ha!). It has been a long time since we have had dog farts, and dear god they can clear a room.
It is nice to have a dog in our home again, I 'think' my husband will get dog fever after Sydney goes home and perhaps let us get a new one. Our family has been sad since the death of our last dog last Christmas.
Like most people our dogs are not our pet's, they are part of our family. And when we lost Henry we lost a major part of our family. Well, it appears as if the presence of Sydney has helped us get over our sadness, and realize how much our family would enjoy the presence of a dog again. (keep our fingers crossed).



Those of you that have dogs know the following. The downside of having a dog in the house.
1) BAD BREATH!
2) FARTS that can clear a room
3) Shedding, the hair is everywhere.
The upside -
1) my kids love her
2) my husband loves her
3) She is SO SWEET.
4) She is lazy and thinks she is a lap dog.
We welcome our new house guest with open arms.

Pyper is 18! Watch out World, she is coming for you!

Dear gawd we made it kid!!  18!  Do a dance, break out the drinks!   You were born wild and smiling.   I never knew how much I wanted to be a mom, until I was one.   Ry, even despite his health issues was an easy baby compared to this girl child of mine.  I tell people I think God was drunk when he handed out kids to me and Lance.  Like - did he really know what he was doing, it's all questionable, even today.  You were born to light up a room with your mischievous smile and warm eyes that capture a soul with a glance.  I've seen her dad melt the moment she walks into a room.   Even to this day, her father seems mesmerized by her at times.   And I find myself screaming - NO, don't look at her, she is in TROUBLE.   DO NOT look at her and her pretend sad face.     He thinks she hangs the moon and the stars, and, in his world, she wants to - even to this day.   They are too total peas in a pod.  Which is probably why today I am not sure who tends to want to annoy me more on th

REALLY STUPID..

Disclaimer - I truly luv my hubby. But I swear I think he inherited two STUPID genes. Not just one, but two.... Here is sample of his most recents stupid incident. ***************************************** Last night I get home, and demand that he go by Sears and pick up a new grill. I state, 'just put it on the card, and we will pay it off on payday.' *I do not encourage credit card use, it makes me break out in hives, but we need this today. My comment triggered a previous conversation Lance had prior to my arrival home from work. He states ' Oh, by the way Michelle, speaking of the card, I put $895.00 on it today.' I laugh out loud and state 'No you did not.' He smirkes, 'Yeah, I did. Some guy called on the phone and said if we spent $895 today he could save us $3,000 in credit card debt.' I look at him and state 'we dont' have $3,000 in credit card debt - so how could us spending 895 be any help. Dear god.' Did you give them your soc

Joke - NOT funny.

Here is glimpse into how dysfunctional we really are........ I have been feeling crappy since last Sunday. I mean really crappy - tired, cranky, sick to my stomach, feeling like I want to puke ALL the TIME. Any woman reading this knows these are clear signs are someone being pregnant. (OMG, I HATE that word). After having Pyper I had an IUD put in, this thing is suppose to last for 5 yrs, and suppose to be 98% effective. I know, probably TMI, but come on, I don't want anymore kids. So this was my way of making sure I was 98% safe and sound. Because we all know dear ol' hubby won't do anything about it.....he was suppose to get snipped. Once again TMI. Anyway, so my symptoms have not subsided. I looked at Lance last night and we talked it over and decided we should just take a damn test to be sure that I was not with child. *cringe* The pit in the bottom of my stomach grows larger, just the possibility of it makes me break out in hives. However Lance, walks around
