My first post - there is so much pressure!! Am I going for humorous? Serious? Reflective? Sentimental? I guess I will figure it out as I go. I am a Mom who stays home for the most part, although I am working hard to find my niche in the 'outside'. Anyone out there hiring? I have three kids, a lunatic labradoodle who is far more lab than doodle, and we are currently searching for the perfect hamster, our third. I love to write, thus the blog.
I think I will begin my blogging career with a quick story... My dog, Sydney, entertains our neighborhood. I believe their amusement stems largely from the same syndrome that allows grandparents to love their grandchildren with total abandon, they get to give them back. Our neighborhood gets to enjoy tales of Sydney's antics from the safety and comfort of their own homes. One of Sydney's greatest talents is that she can eat ANYTHING, the gamble then becomes - from which end will she expel it? One of the few things we have managed to teach Sydney is to go "out back" to poop. Well Sydney was "out back" and was obviously struggling, being the responsible dog owner that I am, I went out to check on her. I quickly discovered she was having extreme difficulty passing a particularly long item. I confess I was tempted to pretend I had not seen anything, but instead I went and grabbed gardening gloves. Picture it, a beautiful day, and I am "out back" wearing gardening gloves pulling what turned out to be one of my favorite kitchen towels out of my dog's ass as I looked at the sky wondering where all of the glamour was that I had thought would fill my life. Well I finally got the towel out and disposed of it, only to discover one of my gardening gloves was missing. It showed up two days later in a pile "out back".
Welcome to my world.
