Tagged again

Susan tagged me again. She says it's the only way she can get my to update my blog and since I havent posted since the last time she tagged me, I suppose she could be right. the problem I have is that I dont have much excitement going on so I dont really have anything to write about. I guess I could write about my dog like Susan did..unfortunately thats more of a tragedy than anything else.

My dog is not a purebreed or well trained. Her name is Katie and we got her from the local Humane Society. She is a Lab/Springer Spaniel mix and for anyone who knows much about those breeds, you know that she is kinda like pogo sticks with hair. High energy doesnt even begin to describe her. The only commands I've been able to teach her are sit and shake...and she only does those when she thinks a treat might be involved. Actually, we love her dearly..we just wish either she was better behaved or that we were better teachers... Our Christmas tree last year..well it was sad looking..lol..we were afraid to decorate the bottom third of it because..well..she chews...incessantly...anything and everything...presents under the tree before Christmas are definitely out..paper is one of her favorite things! The worse thing I think is that she's a whiner...Thats right...she whines...just like a debutante who found out another girl is wearing the same dress she is..I really hate that sound..Not sure what to do about it though.

Today was the first day of fire arm deer season here in Michigan and I gotta say I dont really understand the fascination with sitting out in the cold 2 hours before the animal gets up to move so you can shoot it. Then you have to drag it out of the woods and hang it up for a day and then cut it into pieces. I'm sorry but I prefer my meat to come from the grocery store in little cellophane wrapped packages. Yes I know it costs more...but I didnt have to see it bleeding and that makes it worth it to me. If i had to see all the animals killed, I'd never be able to eat them and I really enjoy a nice rib eye steak. Anyone who knows me, knows I really am not cut out to be a vegetarian. I get nauseous just thinking about peas..lol.

When I read Susans blog..which I check daily by the way Susan...it seemed to me that she is asking for advice...since this seldom happens..lol...I felt I should rush to respond!! But all I really have to say..is enjoy your girls. There is a country song out right now by Trace Adkins. It's called "You're Gonna Miss This" and it says it all. Im sure that you actually enjoy staying home with your children. There is so much that gets hurried through and missed when both parents have to work and the children are in day care centers or with babysitters. When I was a young mother I thought it would be so peaceful and nice when the kids grew up. As they left home, one by one..I'm sure they remember me crying..What they didnt know was that I couldnt even go to thier rooms for weeks after they were gone. And the peace and quiet doesnt balance out the fact that you miss them every day. So, Boo...enjoy the screaming and the whining and the time outs. Take every opportunity to hug them and tell them you love them. Take lots of pictures so you can remember all the adorable things they do. They will be grown up before you know it.

Gee,,,this has been entertaining hasnt it..lol..Susan, I think you are moving this week arent you? Or is it next week. I havent talked to you on the phone for a week and as you know, the memory isnt all that great. I saved that message with Noe and you talking....she's so cute!!

Winter has come to Michigan..its snowing as we speak..ugh...but it was bound to happen sooner or later..

I would tag somebody but the only one I know who has a blog is Susan and there probably arent any tagbacks.....
