Clearing Out the Dust Bunnies

I kind of don’t know where to start.  I have a million posts swirling around in my head, I started making a list and it’s quite long and that’s just what I came up with off the top of my head.  I guess that’s what happens when you don’t blog for a month.  Work has been keeping me so busy and by the time I am done (which has been in the wee hours of the morning, for the last three weeks) with work for the day, the last thing I want to do is spend a second longer sitting in front of the computer.  Even if it’s to write about things I enjoy.

Five Things Friday (Sunday Edition!)

This week is weird – Braden had a half-day at school yesterday because they got their interim reports, so all day Friday, I felt like it should be Saturday.  I know I’ve mentioned this a few times, but work is absolutely insane right now.  My to-do list is a mile and a half long so by the time I’m finished with work, the last thing I want to do is look at the computer.  Hopefully it settles down soon, I suppose I should not complain and I should be thankful for lots of work that I love.

Friday Five (plus 2)

I don’t know if you noticed, but I totally skipped the Five Things Friday last week.  I’ve been all out of sorts with so much going on lately.  I’m in a busy period at work, our home computer totally died so we had to buy a new one, then spend time transferring everything off of the old hard drive onto the new one.. throw in being mama to two kiddos, trying to keep the house from falling apart, spoiling Sammy as much as possible, and marathon training.. busy, busy, busy!

Sweet Sammy

I don’t write about our boys very often, but those of you who know me, know that my dogs were my first babies. We love them like they are our children and would do anything for them.  Up until we had Braden, they slept in our bed with us and were ridiculously spoiled.  Everyone told us that things would change when we had kids and that our dogs would become pets, no longer our children.  Honestly, it did change.  Our priorities shifted, they had to.  It didn’t change how much we love our boys though and it didn’t change the fact that we’d do anything to keep them happy and healthy.  That’s why our hearts are absolutely broken right now.  Our youngest dog, Sammy, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on Monday.
