Back to Bark

Becoming a parent, while obviously a learning curve, came with months of preparation.   You could plan for the next month even.  By the time you popped out that kid you were a flipping expert.


It isn't really the same with dogs.


I've had about a week to figure out how I was going to manage this dog.   She's pretty bad and I have been defending her way too long.  She counter surfs,  chews shoes, drags garbage INTO MY BED, barks and pees EVERYWHERE when she's excited.  So, I have decided to dedicate my life to making this the greatest dog in the world.  

I think her greatest challenge will be that she's totally and completely neurotic.  Neurotic and dumb. ...with an estrogen problem that causes her to periodically pee my bed.


BUT SHE'S HOME!!!!

I tried to get a picture of us but she attacked me instead.

I can think of someone NOT happy about this reunion.

So I tried to even things out.

captcha=Breeder. Not a fan.

It's been a lifetime since I have posted anything new. Life gets super busy, and writing shit down and listening to music from time to time was just pushed aside.

Anyhoo.....imagine a yellow school bus, full of 12 year old kids. Now, imagine listening to them yell and fuss while you already feel a pounding headache caused by only getting about an hour of sleep the night before. Knowing that you STILL have another hour and 45 to go.

  Now imagine a faint smell, and then sudden cold silence as every single person on the bus realizes the same thing at the same time.

That kid with a brush cut just totally hurled all over the place.

Imagine the moment that unmistakeble stench of vomit hits you like Chris Brown on a bad date.....you know what's coming, complete chaos.

  The screaming kids, the dodging of vomit as it rolled towards our feet. The confusion, the despair of knowing that you have such a long way to go before you can get out.


Now I know EXACTLY what Vietnam was like.

This puts a huge weight on my shoulders.

Harper urged to reopen abortion debate

Mostly because this is one of those things that even thought I wouldn't want to, I would HAVE to stand up against. Not because it will ever really effect me personally but because it's the right thing to do.

I feel very sad this evening.

Election TIme!

Oooh baby, one thing I love is an election!

I'm not going to lie, I am actually terrified of Harper winning a majority. Hopelessly terrified.

I certainly would not consider myself patriotic by any stretch of the imagination but something about this election has me wanting to scream at people -WE DESERVE BETTER!-

Anyhoo-off to build my panic room!

Dog

Either I learn to put the garbage out of the dog's reach or she has to learn NOT to get into the garbage.


Yes, this is the Earth bag...chewed up....on my BED

Bad Dog

SPRING!

Thank the flipping lord the weather has taken a turn for the better! My thoughts are now shifting away from the indoors and drifting outdoors. Of course means it’s just about to start gardening!! Oh have I missed playing in the dirt. I promised myself last year that I was NEVER gardening again BUT I am going super simple this time around. Tomatoes herbs bush beans peas and MAYBE a pepper or two. Super easy. There is NO excuse for me to fail this year.

Life is good.

You know what REALLY pisses me off?

That my kids have the fucking nerve to do shit like this on a daily basis




This the BIGGEST FUCKING CUP OF MILK IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that was poured and ignored until it was warm. You know what I love?

Wasting money!!!!


You know what else I love?!

When I discovered my "husky" cat sitting on my stove drinking ANOTHER warm cup of milk.
