Thank god for Fridays

Hubby got his job promotion. Whoot Whoot!!! He is very excited for the opportunity. I am a little apprehensive as it means less time at home so doggie daycare is going to be needed and also his travel schedule. I am not used to him travelling for "spells" at a time so it will be an adjustment.

I got home from work and we headed out to our favorite local bar with our neighbors for some food and drink. I had a couple Landsharks, a delicious Stuffy and we all shared some garlic mussels. This place is out of the way for most but it honestly has the best seafood. We headed home rather early, because I am an old fart and have to be in bed by 10. I spent the next 7 hours wrestling with a 40lb puppy who was trying to consume my bed. At 1am he barked at kids walking up the street, which was kinda good since what the heck are kids doing walking up my dead end street at 1am? But for reals, 1am? I could have killed him. Oh yeah the older supposedly more protective lab was lounging peacefully on her dog bed on the floor, neary a woof out of her (quite the watch dog). Now awake I got up and shut the balcony doors only to come back to bed and find the puppy lying at the head of the bed (head resting on my pillow) as if to say this is my spot now bitch. Yeah my husband and I are seriously going to discuss the sleeping arrangements, no more dogs in bed. We have been "discussing" it lately but honestly pretzel sleeping is doing nothing to further my yoga practice. I woke up at 4:30 to let the little bugger out only to find my beloved feline autumn bunny darting around the kitchen, mouse in mouth. YIKES!!! Barking, screaming ensued momentarily. I managed to wrestle the dogs out without them tackling the cat and taking her prize (this was no easy feat) then I ran upstairs to wake up the "man of the house" who proceeded to tell me that he saw that mouse the other day run into our dinning room. Ummm, ya thanks for mentioning that one. He merely said I didn't feel it necessary because I knew you would react this way. Yeah much better to be surprised by a mouse at 4:30. Headed back down and decided to leave dead mouse in trash can and give treats to the cat. She is now earning her keep.

So on this Friday morn we have one very sleepy person (me) and one dead mouse. What else could the day possibly hold. I can only imagine for as I drove away for work this morning I glimpsed my husband on roller blades attempting to poop out the overly energetic pup.....you would think Rem was a sled dog not a boxer the way he was yanking him down the street.
