The Scot

Murphy, the scottie/schnauzer, went to the salon yesterday. Nails, haircut and bath. Except instead of his normal clippering of the curls, they gave him a big-boy haircut. The typical "scottie" cut. OMGosh, can I just say how sick it was here last night, everyone was fawning over that dog all night long. Adorable. Which makes us big ole punks.My boy is 7 months old now and looking like quite the big boy. Too bad he's getting fixed on Friday. Poor guy....

Why Me?

Murphy the Wonder Dog is my little cuddle ball of joy. Whenever I'm having a rotten day, or my biology teacher is driving me nuts, or the kids have gotten the flat screen tv stuck on a channel that doesn't work, or The Man has torn the garage up looking for something and I can't park my car in it or I even think about going to work.......he cheers me up. He jumps in my lap and I just snuggle right up.Except Murphy has some strange habits.1. He refuses to poop for a female. So when The Man isn't here, it takes FOREVER. However, if The Man takes him out, sniff sniff poop. For me, could take hours!2....

No Words......

No Words describe this evening. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.So after a medicated coma of a workday, I rush home cause today is The Man's birthday. Since he'd cooked his own dinner, I'm lucky that we have a date planned tomorrow night with dinner, movie and naked time (sorry mom). But I hit the door to the wiggly dog who missed me and needed loving, Duchess who was full of mystery person news, Princess who had school gossip and The Man looking like he needed some of my mind numbing cold pills. I was exhausted before I hit the door. Pity me. I am a big ole baby when I'm sick, and I'm slightly dramatic...

Sickness Rolls On...and On...and On

So I'm still sick. Damn Utah doctors. So I'm more than likely going back to the doctor tomorrow as I can't shake this crud. Feel like pooh, sound like pooh, am acting like a pooh.I'm a big ball of happiness and sunshine.Surprised much?In other news, I did not make an A average on my first week's grades in Biology II. Not acceptable. So from now on, I'm morphing into the Bio nerd. Sounds like a movie of the week. So besides hacking up a lung, I'm not kicking my own arse. Not pretty here this week at all.While I'm having the crappiest week on earth, the kids are rocking. Grades are coming back...

Nervous

So while completing the rest of my weekly work for BioII, cause I'm a go-getter like that, I read one of the comments posted by another student."My goal is to pass this class this time, it's getting expensive"OMGawd.......I want to take her under my wing and sing silly songs while braiding her hair.Especially since she posted her bio on the wrong week, in a discussion forum about the elimination of microorganisms in food.Please send prayers to Ohio, she needs th...

Second Wind....

I woke up early this morning with a second wind.My purpose at 700 am on a Sunday morning. Gut my house. Toss away bags of trash and stuff, you'd think I was a serious hoarder but I'm not! We just tend to stash things places in the hopes of finishing it later, or deciding where it goes. Disgusting.So I've cleaned my closet, my basement is finished. The kids' rooms are clean. Baths and hair washing has begun. Vaccuming and cleaning under beds? Done. Scrubbing of tubs? Done. Purging of clothes way too small that I'll never wear again? Done. I remain hopeful but facing reality is a new year resolution...

The LIttle Dog That Could

After an exhausting Monday, I came home to find Murphy happy as a clam in his new "room", bought to keep him contained lovingly without putting him in his crate. So far so good.....So while chatting to my girl as usual, I took him for a walk to do his business.Except four boys on skateboards were going by the house and waiting on the corner for a straggler.Murphy went nuts.So instead of choking him, I gave him some slack thinking he'd get a little closer and bark....Except he jumped his leash.Somehow getting off the leash and running hellbent to eat him some good little Utah boys.OMGawd......I...

He's Coming to the Dark Side!

That hot sexy man that I have shared my life with for 12 years now is slowly but surely coming over to the dark side. Can I just say that there are fewer things in life as satisfactory than woo-ing someone over to your side of things.Every Saturday morning (that I'm not a complete slacker and sleep till 1) we field day our house. In normal peep terms, we clean the holy crap out of it.So after a leisure sleep in till 8, we got up and had a big breakfast. Then I sat down to make everyone's list. Then sit them out on the countertop next to the bell. Everytime the kids finish a chore, they ding and...

Resolutions

I've let some habits slip away from me and so for my new years resolution I have decided to pick some up:1. Painting my finger nails. Once upon a time, I'd paint them to match a color I was planning to wear the next day. I keep them short and tidy but it's the details!2. Fixing my hair. I think that is details enough. I vow to not pin it up every day of the week and then stick it under a ballcap on the weekends.3. Shave my legs. Sorry Case, I know you just threw up a little in your mouth there.4. Exercise, a long forgotten word, but hey twister with the kids totally counts.5. Wear one NOT black...

Early Mornings

Duchess has taken to waking up the past two mornings when The Man's alarm goes off at 445. This means that I've taken to waking up at 445. She gets in my bed and squirms and shifts and finally says "Can I get up now?"It's killing me.But as I sit here watching it snow again, temp hovering at 7 degrees, I remember how I wore a sweater year round in San Diego. This could explain why I have a tendency to layer up and look like the kid from the Christmas Story anytime I leave my 70 degree house. I'm not a cold weather person. At all. But cold weather we got, seems alot worse this year than the previous...

Hindsight = 20/20

I love my house. But I'm a realist. So I have no problem admitting the things with it that I don't like. Therefore what better place to put and keep my list of things I want for my next house.Here.1. Proper ventilation in kitchen: our vent fan, vents toward the ceiling. So that breakfast sausage I made for everyone earlier, still lingers. Stinks! Stove must vent through ceiling out of house. WTF were they thinking?2. Larger bathroom for children. Although the kids are only 10 & 6, they already fight over the tiny teeny little bathroom sink area. Shelving would be nice in there too, for bath...
