Just a quick statement

So I have to say that it's really annoying to hear people freak out about the world ending in 2012. Probably the same group of people who think Tupac is still alive, or that smoking pot is healthy because its a "natural herb". I am pretty sure that God is the only one who can end the world, and he has some pretty big plans to fulfill before that ever happens. Why are people SO obsessed with finding out exactly when they're going to die anyway? Living in fear isn't a good way to live... in my opinion anyway. We aren't supposed to know the future. We're supposed to take what God gives us and enjoy it. Count our blessings instead of worrying of whats to come. Have faith in him and he will have faith in you.

Shelby

Well last time I wrote about how we finally decided to give up Lady (Cujo), and she went to a good home right down the road. We were half expecting them to show up at our door after a few days and ask for a refund, but they never came. Personally I think it's lonely without a dog in a home especially when away from friends and family and being a stay at home mom, so of course we had to try again. This time my husband picked the dog. 

This is Shelby. Our newest attempt at a kanine companion. A far better dog than Lady, and house trained. I am in heaven. She also scares off a lot of kids during our walks which comes in handy. Even though she's really friendly, people take one look at her and think she's a pit bull. This is a bulldog for anyone who isn't dog savy.


We also were informed that the other half of our couch is in (finally) and is going to be delivered in a couple of days. Thank goodness we're going to have a complete living room...if my husband ever decides to mount the T.V. to the wall. Right now we have pieces of styrofoam that came in the original packaging holding it up. It doesn't look very nice. And Dylan keeps pulling pieces off of it and sticking it in his mouth. As lazy as it sounds, I will be relieved to not have to stand right next to the T.V. and angle the remote to change the channel. The styrofoam is blocking the censor and you have to be right up next to it to get it to work.

Hopefully this week holds big things. Such as my new workout shoes that I ordered arriving, or maybe winning the lottery. I'll settle for either.

Q-tips, socks and so long furry..frenemy

I love that my son is so low maintenance in the morning. I put on cartoons, put a bottle and a toy in front of him and hes occupied until nap time. I even go back to bed most of the time after I get him out of his crib, which is probably very lazy of me since he doesn't actually get up until around 9 or 9:30.

Last night I walked past his bedroom, did a double take and walked backwards to his door and saw him sitting in a huge pile of Q-tips. He was picking them up and laughing at them like they were performing a circus act. Its amazing how he can be so amused with something so ridiculous.

I decided it was probably time to completely baby proof the house. As in outlet covers and cabinet locks. About an hour after I covered up all of the outlets he started noticing that they were there and tried to put a few of his toys in it. Perfect timing I guess.

We got rid of Lady, our 'fore mentioned kujo dog. I wasn't actually expecting it to be hard giving her up, and I definitely wasn't expecting to miss her but of course I do. After her leaving I continued to cry for a good hour and simultaneously throughout the next couple of days. I had been emailing her prospective new owner before giving her up and when she showed up at the door with a girlfriend who was dressed in punk rock clothes and had hair like Joan Jet I was a little worried about where Lady was going. But they were actually really nice and the normal looking one was her new owner anyway.


Two days later I got an email from her saying that Lady was doing very well and was loving all the attention from the 3 kids, and spending a lot of time playing in their big back yard. It's relieving to know that she's happy.
