Time for a new post. Not sure how I will pull this off as my mind is mush. No I am not tired or exhausted by Dot's schedule. I have just spent the last 10 hours on a conference call, it could have went longer but I was given a pass due to the hour on the east coast. Safe to say, I've become comfortably numb... So most of my witty, insightful comments and observations have been spent today... So I will ramble slightly through the paths of my mind to see what nugget I might find. I will also use the help of Big Sis, who snuck into the office and typed... "time for a new pet".The last two days have been fun and laced with laughs and battles. Seems I'm not doing enough and Toots is doing too much. That I can't remember to do something and that Toots can't forget to remind me that I forgot something... It goes both ways... but since I am writing this, I get to spin it my way.... the good news is that at the end of day, we find time for a hug and a sorry... right before we laugh and crash...
Tomorrow is Little Guy's birthday, 7 years already... time has flown but I have been very lucky to have been able to spend a lot of time with him as he has grown. the job tends to allow me to work from or close to home, so I have been lucky to be there for many of his milestones. There are a few games or practices I have missed. Outside of the few misses I have been in attendance for most of the other big steps made by Little Guy.. Over the past few years I have watched him mature and revert only to amaze. There is definitely a difference in raising girls over boys.... I know it switches as they hit their teens... Just hope that there is slight over lap in this transformation process.. one day without a poke, punch or scream.... one day where we look like some TV sitcom family; instead of a Spanish soap opera... Than again, a day without fun filled sibling battles would make for a boring Blog...
So Big Sis, snuck in time for a new pet!!!!! I would have a better chance of getting Toots to agree to me dating a super model than getting her to even slightly entertain the notion of bringing another nonhuman into the house. Besides a supermodel won't eat as much as a new pet; heck she might even pick up something...
The other night in my reference to the counter, I focused on getting old... I have been thinking about those few lines the past two days.... I realize what was bothering me, old and aging are two very different things that are linked so tightly together. Getting old in my philosophy means setting or being set in your ways... while aging refers to the process of the body changing and the clock ticking off year after year. Aging is suppose to be good.. old is bad... did you ever hear of anyone selling old cheese or beef... no they are aged... a fine wine is not an old wine it is aged... Lucky for Dot, she has many years of aging before she is once again gets set in her ways. For a newbie, she is doing pretty good at setting and keeping a schedule.. she also has the propensity to wail or fuss if that schedule is broken...
That the dance around ring for tonight. We are close to the 2K number... we just might make it by the real date... (5/18).... 4 days to get 150 or so hits... been averaging 20 - 25 a day... we will be close... we are reaching another milestone... just a few days until I hit 50 postings... seems like yesterday I was wowing little guy with the counter... The bug is still there and the fire smolders all day on what or why I should write. I am glad that the why or whats continue... tomorrow pictures...
Keep those letters and cards coming...
Good night and be good..
