Day 2...

Ok I made it to day two.  Which is a miracle really considering the night I had. This is the lead in to meeting the pets of the family.  Mopsy a 17 year old pound puppy that talks, Bearfoot a 10 year old lab mix and Shilo a 1 year old Chihuahua.  Which are often referred to as small, medium and large.  About 3 months ago their bedrooms were moved from my husband and my bed to their beds in the living room.  Reason, keeping us from a good nights sleep. Bear walks the floor, Mopsy snores louder than any man and Shilo tunnels in and out of the covers all night to remedy his hot and cold status.  We had to stop putting Bear in with the other two as he can open doors and lets them out.  Apparently his partner in crime Mopsy learned that if she threw her weight against the french doors long enough the doors would open. So one hour after I went to bed and finally fell asleep, Mopsy starting scratching in a very demanding way to be let in.  I laid there hoping my husband ( other wise known as the sleeping dead) would take care of the situation but he never moved.  So I went to the door and yelled for the kids (who were still up.  I pretty sure my boys 23,20 and 15 are vampires, they stay up all night and sleep all day when school is out.) to come get her. She was then barricaded in the living room where she made it known for about an hour how unhappy she was with the current sleeping arrangements.  Awe... sleep again, but wait who is scratching at the door waking me up this time... its Shilo.  Call the kids, no answer,....um they learned from the first time that Mom might need something.  They stay quite (until I fall asleep again) and I put Shilo in the bed.  How annoying can a 4 lb dog be anyway? Well 397 times later of him crawling in the covers and out of the covers that question can be debated. Well morning came, my husband got up and released the hounds... Mopsy and Bear made their way up the stairs.  Time to get up.  Maybe I will get some sleep tonight.  So I have spend the day cooking, cleaning and yes contemplating my resolutions.  Finally got on the scale, what a shocker.  You would think that number, which is higher than my bank account would inspire me to run screaming and thus get some exercise...oh well maybe tomorrow. Worked on my budget, it always looks good on paper its when the reality of supporting a family of 5 plus 3 dogs and 1 cat, a $600.00 electric bill and 2 kids in college it goes to hell in a hand basket.  I wonder how long it will be before one of the kids informs me that there's nothing to eat in the house ( just bought 320.00 worth of groceries Saturday). Coupons here I come.  I feel like I really need to set a goal for the week so here its goes
-I want to lose 3 lbs this week and have 10.00 in my pocket that goes undetected.  We shall see... If you are out there reading see you tomorrow if not ignorance is bliss.
