WOW what a day!!

Today has been a most relaxing day. I trimmed all my dogs toe nails, gave everyone their yearly booster shots. I have a new litter of PomChi's coming up, and a litter of YorkiChi's. I'm very excited about them. Things are starting to pop up in the yard. Yeah for Spring coming. More outside time.

We hired a contractor to work on the room in my house I ruined with the hose. Yes, I did flood it. Oh well, now we can't decide what to do with it. Office? Extra bedroom/Guest room? I have an idea, I can put all the shit on top of shit in there and get out of the hot water with my hubby for having too much stuff. Problem with that is that after I fill it up with shit where do I put the rest of the stuff?

Caiti has been keeping us all up to date with her East Coast travels. Tonight she is at the Washington Monument. She sent us a picture. I'm so thankful she is getting this opportunity to travel. She is taking hundreds of pictures. We are going to have a slide show when she gets back and a kicking ass BBQ. All the peeps are coming. David is going to grill steaks and shrimp. I miss her more than I ever thought possible. She is the sunshine of my day. In the past I have spent my time being busy with things of little consequence and she has been all but ignored. It's all "the damn strays" I bring home all the time. It is their fault. Not mine. LOL. Anyway, if you would like an invite call or email. I just want to say publicly that I'm sorry. I have always put other people ahead of her in importance in my life and I had no idea how hurt she was. Talk about putting your pearls before swine.

We are all in a state of transition here at my house. It is in these transitions where we learn who matters and who doesn't, where loyalties lie and about ourselves and our own personal need to grow and change and these changes challenge all the things we thought we knew. Repeat after me, transitions/changes are good. God is in charge and we just watch what he is trying to teach us because when we don't listen to Him, he talks louder.

Sometimes God takes away things that harm us. Sometimes he gives us more than we want. I hate this whole acceptance thing. I'm not good at it. I do forgive but I never forget. I think that is how most American's are. We are a selfish group of people who only think of ourselves and what we want instead of what is better for another person. Make sense? We only get to see things from our side, we don't see the "big picture." I am praying for acceptance this week and gratitude. I'm so thankful for certain things and forget to say thank you. When things suck I'm all over God. When he allows great stuff to happen to me or a family member I forget to be thankful. I am so thankful. I really am.

Colton helped me make a new web site. Take a look at it. I'm very proud of the job he is doing. It is not all the way done but I have enjoyed sitting next to him on the couch and watch him work his wonders. http://www.princesspetuniaspuppies.com/
