It has been a CRAZY week. It almost feels like there hasn't been a week at all. It's a blur. Dusty and I (and the kids... I don't think they are quite to the leave at home by themselves stage... is it wrong to secretly be counting down to that?) went to "town". We stayed at my parents. My dad is exhausting. There was oodles of running around to do and they are in the process of finishing some old reno's and starting on some new one's plus fixing broken quads and hunting season is in full steam soooo like I said, exhausting. and yet even in all the bustle it felt good to visit and to be of some use.
I am very happy to announce that our dog got spayed over our days down there. Bob Barker I'm sure would be proud that his little blips on 'The Price is Right' wasn't just in vain. After our last dog got spayed she died. Try explaining that getting run over by a car has nothing to do with the dog going to the vet. Lucy was VERY upset that my mom was taking Belle to the vet. I don't know who was more relieved to see one another, the dog or Lucy.
In all the chaos I did manage to finish ALL the Christmas shopping for the girls. The feeling is awesome. I also bought garland for the fireplace. I don't know why, but now that I have garland on my fireplace, I somehow feel like I've made it in the world. I feel like I'm living a small piece of the life of the Cleavers. So satisfying. Dusty thinks I'm crazy. I am a little. Who isn't?
I should go to bed. My eyes are heavy and my family is all snoring away.
I hope your week was as good as mine.
I love to see the extended family BUT I really love coming home. (I feel at this point it necessary for everyone to sigh and say, "ahhh home".)
