Radio

So, a couple of nights ago Jacob and I were snuggling on the couch listening to the radio(what one does when we have no TV stations). Some classic station talking. Some guy was on sing talking funny things. Anyway...to the point... He talked about how some restaurants are small and one half is for smokers and the other half for non smokers (always hate those kindof restaurants!), then he said it was like having a public pool that has a section for pee'ers. HA! totally made me laugh! And the way I've been feeling I needed a good laugh!

Minus 1

I guess the stick figure picture of my family is no longer correct. We are now minus 1 dog. Sorry Kelty but you were the only member of the family that could be given away with out tears! With #4 on the way, the amount of dog hair on the floor, on our clothes, and yes even sometimes in our food...I just couldn't do it anymore! Besides the fact that every time I looked at her I felt guilty!! She's a Lab and needs exercise. The one thing that I was the only one to do anything about, and didn't ever give her enough of! Jacob and I just got to the point where we just didn't like having her around. I hated feeling guilty all the time and I couldn't stand it when she got in to the trash or any food. And boy could she find any food that might have been left around. Drove me crazy! So, we wanted to give her a better life. Owners who would love her, exercise her, pet her, spend time with her. Now she's someone else's dog that I'm sure gives her all that stuff. Plus she has a dog pal to hang with when no one's home. It was a little hard to give her up. I felt like a dog owner loser. We've had her since she was a puppy-4 1/2 yrs! But, I must admit that I don't miss her, the everyday guilt is gone, and I seem more peaceful. I was prone to let Kelty be the brunt of my frustration and she was the one that would get yelled at. The only thing I miss is the kitchen floor isn't magically void of food and crumbs anymore :(

So, there you have it. We're just not the dog lovers we thought we were!

Some whine with that cheese?

If I hear another whinny voice I'll probably scream! Adam has a cold and hates having a wet nose. Every 5 minutes he comes to me, whining, that he needs a "blesshew" (aka tissue). The blesshew word is way cute, but him whining telling me I need to go get him one and blow his nose is getting real old. Every time we have the same talk, "You bring me the tissue, Adam, and I'll help you blow your nose!" "NO! You get it!" with all the whine he can muster. Of course I stand my ground! Learned that lesson long ago. Give in and all the work you've done must start over from square one. Anyway, guess I'm venting. It probably doesn't help when the kids get to bed late and are naturally prone to whininess when they're tired and couped up because mom doesn't feel good and it's freezing outside!

Viewers

I was wondering if people I know actually view my blog. Sometimes I wonder if I go through the trouble of posting for any good reason. I never really know. The only time I get comments are when I don't post for a year. I started the blog for family but think that they've never even visited the site. Or do I just not update enough, so friends and family have just stopped checking?...

Anyway, just thought I'd add my thoughts for once to the blog. And these are the thoughts I always have when I go to my blog to visit others' blogspots.
