A lot of our friends and family didn't get a chance to see our new home before we left and have asked for pictures. It took a while to get settled and organized but here it is. This is where I spend most of my day. I have to admit most days it doesn't look this clean as there are usually toys everywhere, stuff on the table I need to get rid of, and dishes to be done. One thing that you can never have too much of it cabinets. I haven't filled all mine yet but pretty close. they are above the couch, chairs, around the tv, in the island and the kitchen. The cabinet in the middle holds Addison's books and she has a big basket of toys behind the right recliner. The couch does fold out but it's easier to just take the cushions off. It's slightly slanted so we haven't had an issue with her rolling off. The table doesn't get used much right now with Brian working nights so is pushed up aginst the wall to make more space. Addison likes to easy and watch "let it go" :)

Here is a list of a few of the reasons I secretly pray my dogs won't come back when the run off... but the always do dagnabbit!
1. They are 2 more mouths that I have to feed and water. 2. I'm the one who has to give them baths. 3. They run off at any opportunity, including but not limited to: ripping the leash from your hands, bolting out the door when your hands are full, and taking advantage of a 2 year old that knows how to open doors. 4. I have to take them outside to potty AND PICK IT UP! 5. Colonel acts like he's old and grumpy and will growl if you touch him let alone pick him up. He has even begun to snip at me too, which I love so much. He usually hides all day unless I make him come out or Addison finds his hiding spot. 6. London will "ask" to get on the bed and will repeatedly bark softly or scratch her neck which makes her tags jingle. She's never itchy any other time. She will continue to alternate these until you have told her to come on the bed at least twice! Because apparently she didn't believe you the first time. (what makes me livid is when I have a sleeping baby in the room) 7. London has to sleep on the bed, touching you in some manner, that usually means she is restricting your movement. Her favorite spot is right behind your knees on top of the covers or on MY pillow. Oh and if you move her she will get down off the bed and precede with #6 again. 8. London stalks my 2 year old for fallen food. I did like this at first cause it meant less for me to pick up but it has escalated to taking it right from her hand if she's zoned out to Elmo, which results in a screaming toddler for me! 9. London had the most horrible breath and she won't chew on bones to clean her teeth like Colonel does. Now all this is normal dog stuff but here is the real kicker that sends me into such rage I imagine images of kicking them off a cliff... 10.When London wakes up in the morning, she immediately thinks it's time to potty. Colonel could probably hold it for 3 days... he's such a good boy in this aspect. If you don't get up to let her out she begins the bark/jingle thing. If this doesn't wake you enough to get up she will go wake up Addison. This makes me so mad I can't see straight. I usually have just gotten the baby back down and think I can get just a little more rest before my crazy active/loud/demanding toddler wakes up. I purposely wait to take London out until after I've taken care of Addison, partly cause I don't want her to wake her father who works night but mostly to teach London I won't give in to her tactics. So why do I keep them? Two reasons. One is my husband says we can't just throw away a commitment we made even though he isn't the one who takes care of them. The other is about 3 ft tall and loves these dogs so much! She has to give them hugs and kisses before bed and talks to them and loves to hold their leash (which usually gets yanked from her hands) What is a mama to do? For now, I suppose I will continue to take care of them until the glorious day that my kids are big enough to take over! |
AuthorI'm a stay at home mommy of a beautiful little girl and a rambunctious baby boy. Although I stay at home, my home doesn't stay put lol. We travel for my husband's work and live in a 5th wheel camper full time. We also have a mini schnauzer, who is a crotchety old man. :) I love crafting, cooking, and taking pics. But most of all I love me some Jesus! Archives
