I finally sit down to type out a post and guess what happens? My mind goes completely blank. My Lifetime movie is blaring in the background, Peanut is yelling at me from the other room, and all I can think about is how quiet the dog is being, which usually means i'll be cleaning up dog poo or urine soon.
Things are still very overwhelming in our house, hence my long term absence on my blog. The puppy requires constant supervision, and i'm struggling to keep up with housework and bill paying and all that fun stuff (as if I was caught up on all that stuff before we got the dog, but whatever). I haven't purchased Halloween costumes for my kiddos yet. At least I wont be needing to purchase a costume for myself, as I seem to be doing a fabulous job of looking like a hobo. My son has a birthday in two days and I have nothing purchased or planned yet. I'll include my address at the end of this post so you know where to send me my Mom of the Year Award.
At least we had a busy, fun filled weekend, as typically our weekends consist of sitting on the couch watching sports. My sister in law came to visit with her family. I feel like I hardly got to talk to them or play with my newest, little nephew because the dog is just so demanding. I'm hoping they come back up for Thanksgiving, and that Olive will be a little easier to deal with.
This morning I could barely get out of bed. It was one of those mornings where I woke up before the alarm went off. I had ten minutes left to sleep and those minutes were like my favorite chocolate that the kids never found. When it was time to get up for real, I rolled my big, lazy body over the edge and hurled myself over the edge. I staggered down the hall, tried to adjust my blurry eyes and freaked the hell out.
I thought I saw a snake. I know, right? But it was only some gaffer tape that Olive had chewed up from under the ottoman (cause we're classy like that).
Anywho, I certainly have my work cut out for me this week. I need to get off this computer, figure out whether Olive is eating a dog treat or part of our ottoman (they look pretty similar to be honest). Then I need to pay our water bill before the water company shuts off our water and we're taking showers with dirty gutter water. I need to plan something for my poor son's birthday so he doesn't grow up and resent me. Then I need to find Halloween costumes that don't look like they came straight from the Playboy Mansion. Basically I need to become a magician.

It looks snake like. Sort of. Or not.
But it does make me think of my favorite YouTube video of all times:
