One week down...

Today marks one week with the new four-legged family member...

It has been a long week, where one day I leave early the next I am shoving dog but into her crate when she doesn't want to go into... fun.  At least the previous mutts would go in when you bribe them with cookies.  This one - not so much.

This morning she decided since I was still in bed, she wanted to join me.  We are still working this.  but we are at a weekend so a bit easier.   Next week should be fun... but this is new for her in a series of new things - so time.  Patience and not plotting your husband's murder well that is a daily occurrence.

I was ticked yesterday I couldn't really put my finger on it - most likely is I walked in the door - he got home first and he starts, mostly dog updates, but as soon as I move to the second floor - per usual - he needs to talk to me about 401K's and how he's been asking for months for me to handle things... yeah I forgot all about it.

so I will call today give his royal butthead what he needs and deal with the rest - and now digging out my paperwork it appears that I will have to do this Monday or Saturday if possible.

I think it's just - as I said when we went to look at this dog, my work load increases when a new member of the family is introduced.  And this is no exception.  I guess when I changed, did a load of laundry, then went downstairs and dealt with a messy kitchen and started to get dinner ready while he sat there looking at me -- I was feeling cranky.

I don't know why - nothing changed, I didn't have dog duty - I will tonight.  Along with everything else...

*sigh*

All right-y I think I am going to try and be productive this afternoon, then see where life takes us this weekend.  Dinner with my husband's family... oh joy.   Of course I could stir the pot, we get two to three versions of every story and I could ask questions... but I won't.  Why?  Because it will all come raining down on me - I know this for a fact.

So I will smile, chat, piss off my husband in some manner because he is OH so patient and tolerant when dealing with his own family.  And I will have at least one glass of wine with dinner.  Two if he's really a flaming butthead!!!

They all can't be stuck in traffic hell of my own making stories now can they??
