LOVE!

(Couple of things I found either at home or thrifting, for above my mantle)

Hope your day is filled with lots of Love and of course chocolate!

Things that should NEVER happen on a Monday!

1. Notice your little dog chasing her tail and boot scoot across the carpet!

2. Yell at her for boot scooting across the carpet and think to yourself she has no idea why you're yelling!

3. Decide after watching her drag her ass across the floor one too many times, to get up and investigate.

4. Lift her tail and yell, "Holy Shit!" Because pardon the pun, that is exactly what was there!

5. Yell more expletives because you had to discover it, but wonder if your husband saw it first and chose to ignore it!

6. Get nauseous at the thought that she was in your bed last night and you slept with that!

7. Put her on the table (except if it's where your husband eats, don't worry, lots and lots of paper first) to see how bad it truly is!

8. Realize this is something you really won't be able to do without totally puking!

9. Call the vet and explain you aren't quite sure if your dog is impacted or just matted with shit!

10. Make an appointment for an hour from the time you called and decide to lock her in the big dog's crate, just so you can preserve your couch and your sanity!

11. Get the courage to put the dog in the tub and see if there is a way through the matted jungle while holding your breakfast down!

12. Wish that you had found a nose plug and gloves before taking on this Dirty Job!

13. Yell more expletives, but this time at the husband!

14. Raise your hand to wipe the sweat from your brow and leave a little dollop of excrement, unbeknowest to you!

15. Forget to check yourself in the mirror before answering the door because of said dollop and again yell, "Holy Shit!"

After living and surviving this day, I hope to never have a repeat like this one, on any other day of the week!

Here's to a poop free day tomorrow, and the next and the next and the next!

P.S. For some reason, oh yes, too much poop clogging the ole mind. I have managed to hit a few buttons and my post might come out looking different. Hopfully after I'm unclogged I can figure out what I did!

Super Bowl...I just don't get into it!

I truly have no desire to see the Super Bowl! I couldn't even tell you what two teams are playing, I swear. If my son hadn't reminded me that today was the day it would have just passed me by without even a thought!

Yup really! I kind of forgot today was the infamous Sunday that everyone has been waiting for...except of course me! I really don't see what all the craziness is about! I know that most people would say it's the commericals but even those do nothing for me, really! My life will still continue to go on even if I don't see the latest beer, Doritos, or car commercial. I did hear that Madonna was performing at half time and even that doesn't make me want to go running to the television! I laugh because even if I truly wanted to see any of it we don't have cable or an antenna so we couldn't watch it anyway.

I kind of look at the whole super bowl craziness like Maxine!



So whoever is out there getting ready to watch the big game and stuff their faces with all those rich carb laden treats, I say enjoy, truly! I myself will enjoy a board game with Claire.

She is like her momma and says, "Super Bowl, yuck!" The boys went to a friends house so need to feel sorry for them, they will be enjoying the game with the masses!

Oh, I love me some Target!

Who doesn't love Target? I mean really, is it just me? There is just something about seeing Red that makes me Happy! My poor friend is moving to a new town and I am so sad for her because there is no Target close by. I couldn't move then. Really, I'd be like bye bye honey! My prerequisite for moving to a new city is there must be a Target.

Sorry, but Wally World just doesn't cut it for me!

I came upon this the other day, Pinterest of course and knew I had to post it!



Have a good one! Gotta run, I"m off to Target!

Pinterject!

This is so true! How many of you can relate!

Maya Angelou...you are Amazing!

I came across this quote of Maya Angelou today and thought it was worth sharing. She is truly an inspiration to all people!


“I don’t know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, ‘Well, if I’d known better I’d have done better,’ that’s all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, ‘I’m sorry,’ and then you say to yourself, ‘I’m sorry.’ If we all hold on to the mistake, we can’t see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can’t see what we’re capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one’s own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that’s rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don’t have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.”

On the Road Again!

I'm so excited to finally be meeting this little guy! He is my new nephew Wyatt. So do you think he looks like his dad or what? Claire and I are jumping in the car and driving a couple of hours to hold and squeeze him. I don't know who's more excited but we can't wait to leave. Packing up the car and hitting the road. Nebraska here we come!



I'll be back on Wednesday with lots of pics!

Happy Day!
