Fall Festival

We have had a very busy fall so far. Grandma and Grandpa have visited and one of the things we did was go to our neighborhood fall festival. We all had a great time and Gracie ended up winning the pumpkin painting contest for her age group! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Help Me Feel the Love!!!!



This dog has a serious attitude! Please help me 'feel the love'. The vet asked me her name and I had to think because normally I call her "the white dog" ...."the brat"...and a number of other names that I will not post. Don't get me wrong...she is sweet and very cute. But....she has an attitude! Poor Henry (who has been the lone ranger here for 9 years...has been gracious even when she growls at him just for wanting a little attention, like when he has to go outside to do business! She also was suppose to be 100% potty trained....NOT! She is a sneaky pooper. Even after a LONG walk, she will sneak upstairs and poo in the kids room...as if to say "I am the only child here". She also has a serious attachment disorder and literally will climb up my body crying and wimpering in high pitch tones when I walk in the door. She steals toys off of beds and eats their eyes...She is also like a cat and can jump, climb and walk on things you would never imagine! Have you noticed I said 'she'...can't even use her name in a sentence...help! I need to feel the love for this DOG!

I wonder if...

I will ever have time to write on this crazy blog
We will ever have enough milk in this house
There will ever come a day with no laundry to do
I will ever be able to take an important call and not have to hide in the garage
I will ever be able to finish in the bathroom on my own time and not because someone is walking in...saying ...MOM!
We will ever get through the month with money left over to spend..just because.
My dogs and kids will ever learn to communicate quietly
I can ever leave for a trip without putting my kids in a tail spin for days upon my return
The deer who visit my yard will let me enjoy flowers this year AT ALL!
I am a one note...only talking about the kids in my family, kids who need families, or the kids who just got families
My husband still thinks I'm pretty when I feel tired most of the time
I'm doing enough...
I truly recognize how blessed I am to be living this life~
