Overdrive

I think I'm headed into overdrive, and I'm not sure how to stop. Wait, scratch that. I AM in overdrive. I need to stop. But I think my brakes are locked. I don't even know if that analogy makes sense.

The cream of the cake came this morning when my dog bit me. Not Jonah. Junebug, the "obedient" one. I don't think she meant to. I think my leg was just in the way. She couldn't get to a loose dog because I had her on a lead, so she tried to get to Jonah, who was also on a lead, instead. And I was in the way. It was the last thing I expected in a very long week of unexpected things.

I'm really cranky. It's why I haven't been blogging. I'm exhausted. It's why I haven't been blogging. But I miss my "old" life. Not the old house, but the structure and order (believe it or not) of knowing where everything was and where everything should go and what needed to get done at a particular time. I miss not having to go to Lowe's or Home Depot or Ace every day. I miss blogging regularly.

I know things will get better. They really will. It's just a matter of getting there intact, right? So in an effort to achieve that, I'm going to try to get myself back into the swing of things I really love, like blogging. Just bear with me for a little why if my posts are gloomy and grumpy. You don't even have to read them. Come back in a few weeks and see if things are perking up, as they are bound to do.

Hugs to all!

Our New Addition

We've had our faithful Wonderdog, Junebug, for about 3 years now. We got her from Second Chance, and she's totally awesome: came house-trained, cat-trained, obedient, and well-behaved. Plus, she puts up with our kids' antics. We love our Junebug!
So, we decided to get her a pet. Okay, not really. But when we were at Medieval Fair, a rescue organization had this fabulous dog out, and we all fell in love with him.
His name is Jonah, and he's a two-year-old greyhound who flunked out of racing school. He weighs about 70 lbs, and is supposed to stay long and lean like this (and like Junebug, too!). He puts up with our kids' craziness, he likes running with Junebug, and he's soft, soft, soft. He arrived at our house today, and we love him already!

Did I mention he's gianormous?
