Random thoughts from Space
That’s where I feel like I am today. I feel completely disconnected from everything around me. I have managed to accomplish a few things today - went to the gym to lift weights, have feed the kids healthy meals and snacks, cleaned the kitchen. But it’s like I’m watching it be done. I hate the day after a migraine. I feel so weird. I’d understand it a bit more if I took something other than Excedrin for them, but I don’t.
My puppy is causing more problems: chewed the Christmas lights on the back porch, completely destroyed. I had made up my mind that if she got out of the yard one more time I was going to take her to the SPCA. Well, she got out, through a hole that the neighbor dog dug under the fence! I can’t blame her for that one. I just want to pull my hair out sometimes. I can’t go chasing after her every time she goes under the fence. The kids aren’t safe by themselves. I get no enjoyment for having her, just stress and frustration. I know what action I need to take. I just can’t do it.
For months I have been trying to come up with some hobby that I can do in the evening that doesn’t allow for food to be a part of it. I love to decorate cakes, but, yeah, I get that that is ALL about food! lol I also like pretty much anything to do with paper, except scrapbooking. The other day it finally clicked and I wondered why it had taken me so long to figure this one out. They might not be for anything other than family and friend birthdays and Christmas, but I’ve started making cards. Kirigami, pop-ups, embossing, quilling, stamping, calligraphy - it all sort of works. And don’t ask why I don’t like scrapbooking since I do enjoy photography as well because I just don’t know. I just know that I don’t enjoy it.
Well, I’m actually going to be earning a little money this week. Someone is dropping off some seamstress work this afternoon. Guess I should make the house look a little bit presentable. You know, if it weren’t for all the cleaning, washing dishes and laundry, being a SAHM would be a complete dream!
And tonight I will be going for a 4 mile walk - 2 miles with both dogs and 2 miles with just the pup. Will have to take my cell phone so my husband doesn’t freak out and will be doing it before 8:30!
What kind of puppy is it? I know when my dog was young (she’s a year old now) I would either tie her out on a cable, or take her out on a leash. I’m not sure if she is an outside or inside dog, but it sounds like she just needs more supervision. Puppies are like babies in a lot of ways. Very demanding on your time, but they sure are wonderful after they grow up a little bit!
I would like to get a little dog for my daughter but I just can’t do it because I know it’s alot of work. We used to have one but it just caused me so much trouble that I wasn’t happy about it and so I had to find it another home. I know some people don’t think this is the best decision but for me I thought it was better that the puppy was in a home that would shower it with more love than I could give it. With me, the dog was just getting resentment feelings. Just like some people can’t be parents, I can’t be a dog owner. But, I’ll take a cat any day. lol. Less work in my opinion. And softer too.
I am no good with puppies at all. I can’t do it! Sorry to har that you are feeling out of sorts. I need a day out with no kids soon! Being a SAHM can be so draining some times, huh? I love to scrapbook so I guess a crop party is out of the question?? LOL, just kidding. Have a great walk!
You are doing great with the exercise. I don’t do dogs so I can’t help you there. I hope things get better with him. Keep up the good work!!
Theres a person somewhere just waiting for your little puppy to make them happy is what Im feeling. I say give it to a good home and dont put it off any longer!
I love dogs, but don’t have the patience to train them properly. We have a cat. No training necessary, well not much anyway.
Enjoy your walk later!
