sunday sunday...

So, I had every intention of getting my butt outta bed and going to church this morning. Yeah, didn't happen...again. I went to a beautiful wedding (that i got ready for and got to in 20 minutes thank you VERY much) last night, spent some time with Friend, and then came home to find the Greyhound (katie) had pissed on my carpet. My carpet that is barely a year old. Needless to say, I was NOT happy (i was still a bit perturbed about the trashed tupperware bowl that she got the oh so chocolatey chocolate cupcake out of). But I still let her sleep with me...and i have a (usually) strict rule about my bed: only 2 legged creatures allowed. But this was my katie-dog. when i say she has emotional issues, i'm so. not. kidding.

anywho, Parker (the cavalier king charles spaniel that i thought was a springer spaniel) was like "well hell, if katie gets to sleep with biddy, so can i!" So, there I was. In my queen size bed with a million pillows, a GIANT greyhound that loves to cuddle (and apparently weighs 5165168 pounds when she sleeps on top of you), and a feisty pup who also loves to cuddle, but his a.d.d. causes him to change spots on the bed 365496841 times. Needless to say, Biddy didn't get much sleep. In fact, I really didn't get any until about 5 a.m. when i made them go in the backyard.

funny thing about their stay? katie going through the doggie door. why is that so funny? well, let's see. when standing on her hind legs, katie is over 5 foot tall. when on all fours, she's still a good 2 1/2 - 3 foot tall. Chablis' doggy door is 15 inches tall and 7 inches wide. you do the math. how oh how did the greyhound fit without ripping the wall out? she army crawled. i kid you not, she army crawled through the door and i laughed my ass off. where oh where was a video camera when i needed it!?

anyway, that was all very random...back to today. let's recap: no church, very little sleep. so anywho, i took the dogs home and spent some time with Babs and her family (babs is my old choir director from high school - the one i dogsit for). That was nice. Then I went to my parents' house to burn some c.d.s for my dad. that was ok. then i went to Friend's house to start on his laundry. sidenote: i wasn't doing it purely out of the kindness of my heart (though i have before). he called (woke me up) to say he would pay me to do it. anywho...i started his laundry and decided that while i was waiting, i might as well clean up a little bit. Friend and I eat takeout alot. and neither of us ever bothers to put the crap in the trash. hey, the bag or box it came in is sufficient... it's really quite gross but doesn't seem to bother us until his house starts smelling like a giant trashcan. So, 5 giant black trashbags later...ok, not all of it was takeout shit. i emptied all the other trashcans, cleaned out the fridge, things like that...

so, i've been here most of the day. and 7 (giant, proabably should have been 9) loads of laundry later, i'm almost done. His washer and dryer are kinda old, so the dryer takes a while. I'm waiting on the last load to finish drying.... favorite phrase of the day? "whoa! i have clothes hanging in my closet? does this mean i don't have to go to the dryer in the morning to scrounge for something to wear to work!?" hey, i figured if was going to do laundry i might as well do it right. I must love Friend, even if he did pay me. I don't even put my own laundry up! that's what the spare bedroom is for!!

due to a long ass conversation with my cousin, and another long ass shitty conversation with my mother, i didn't vacuum or dust, the bathroom didn't get touched other than the trashcan, and i didn't unload the dishwasher or wash his sheets. I'll most likely finish that tomorrow or tuesday, because hey, i might as well finish right? I did at least sweep the kitchen and utility room and mopped up all the trash juice.

it's been a shitty day and not because of anything i wrote about. mostly because of my sheer stupidity and my lack of budgeting skills. but that's a whole 'nother story that i may or may not share...we shall see

for now, i'm going to go crawl into bed with Friend because i really need to cuddle...

Well you can't feel shitty for two long, you know why? I'll tell you why! Sunday is over..did you learn anything?? Huh...look in that head of yours..no doggies on the bed..or restless ones...either set priorities or learn to forgive yourself more for slacking. You can't take the day back so just move on...maybe next Sunday will be different??...
learning to forgive yourself is HUGE!!
Hope the week is better for you!

With that many dogs in the house you should get that nifty resolve carpet spot cleaner thing, or just start saving for new carpet ;). I agree with mp, we all make mistakes and it ends up working out. Take it as a lesson learned & don't beat yourself up. I've had {and still struggle with} budget issues - I think it's the least fun & hardest part of 'growing up'.
