Loong post

Well I'm DONE dog sitting. D-O-N-E DONE! and thank goodness, I'm exhausted! 4 yorkies could kill ya. They almost killed me. Well not really but I about went nuts. I mean, I love doggies but these guys are A LOT of work. I constantly had one jumping in my face. Well it was more like two out of the four but still. These dogs liked to fight over food. See there is one girl yorkie and three boys. The girl yorkie is the boss and shes get mad easily. The boys like to piss her off and try to eat off of her food plate and she gets mad and growls and they bark at her. then the boys will bark at each other. This goes on for about 30 minutes. They are actually pretty good throughout the day besides food times, but at night, is a whole different story. You have to manage to get them from the kitchen to the bedroom without them jumping on furniture or running into rooms. Then one of the boy dogs (vinny who is the source of most of the commotion) likes to be chased into the room with a toy. Now I can't chase very well (I'm almost 8 months pregnant) and hes hard to catch. So after all of that I get them in the room and they all swarm me when I get onto the bed. They HAVE to lay ON me. not just by me but ON me, they litterly have to be touching me. You can try to move them and scoot them but they will not have that, they will scoot right back to you. So I have one dog curled up by my chest and one by my belly. Then Vinny is laying on my arm by my face and he had to have his butt in my face. If I roll over, they will move too unless there is no room for them to lay. So I have to lay on the edge of the bed. but of course that I means I have dogs laying on my back. Then Vinny likes to bark randomly throughout the night, and then lick my arms or legs. Then he will also hump my arms or legs (already pregnant buddy!) then he will try to hump rocky who is the only one that doesn't have to be laying on me so hes open range. Poor guy.. Then when 5:00 rolls around (my aunt gets up at 5 for work) I am woken up to Vinny licking my face and jumping on me and all of the dogs staring. If I'm not up promptly I will be jumped on by all of them and hear whining and barking until I manage to roll my whale self up. Then I have to let them out and feed them. My little trick was, I'd wake up at 5, let them out and feed them, then leave them in the kitchen (where they roam all day) and go back to sleep for 4 hours. Its still not enough seeing as I'm kept up all night lol

but I don't hate dogs by any means. and I don't hate those dogs. When they weren't in my face jumping on me, biting at my feet or barking I would sit down and give them kisses and I would scratch theirs bellies before bed. I may be grumpy but I'm not mean! lol It was just a lot of work for a sleepy old pregnant gal like myself. and I'm sure babies are more work but jeez! lol

The upside is I got to go SWIMMING. my grandparents finally opened their pool. It took them forever because they travel a lot and the heater needed to be replaced so they were trying to find one for a good price that will work for a long time. and they finally did! So I spent Saturday AND Sunday out in the pool, eating Popsicles. We had a BBQ Sunday, yum. I also got to catch up on True Blood. I got sun burnt, although I wore SPF 50. I got to see my little Bellsa too! I love that little girl. She is really into a slapping thing right now. She loves to hit people and throw things. Its gotten kind of bad in my opinion but its hard to discipline a small child like her. But she has no problem with raising her hand to your face and slapping you. She also likes to throw things at your head (like remotes) or food. Whatever. She also likes to steal whatever food you have on your plate and she will eat a bite and then throw the rest on the floor. If you tell her no she will hit you, if you tell her no and shes not close enough to hit you, she will hit the next closest person. She just likes to hit. and if you hold her hand and tell her no, she will head butt or find any other way to cause physical harm. I really hope this is a phase, theres not a lot I can do to help the situation because I'm not around her all of the time and shes not my child. I think were all at a loss of what to do. I think time outs would work but I'm sure she'd scream and my family doesn't let her cry for more then 1 sec. So she never really learns.. Oh well.

Well anyways I'm glad that I get to go home tonight! My room is painted and I want to see it! Plus I miss my doggies and my stuff. Also I miss my bed, and I miss sleeping on my own without anything laying on me or by me. and most of all, I'll be happy to have company again! I miss my momma. lol. Being the only human around is kind of lonely. I don't think I could live by myself like that. Especially now, I get too sad. Now I sound like I'm weird and depressed but its hard to be all alone and emotional like I am. Being all alone makes you realize that your really all alone. In ways I'm glad I don't have a man to worry about but in other ways it sucks. I wish I could have someone to share my life with but then again I'm proud to be able to do this on my own and that I'm able to make my life how I want and make my own happiness. Its sad to be lonely now, but I won't be alone forever. I don't know, I've just let go of the dream of having a cute little family to love. I'll have my baby girl but I won't have the cute hubby to go with. Oh well. I think I'm better single anyways. I've been single the majority of my life and that's what I'm used to and its what I like.

I also had a friend tell me to cut my losses with whats his face a move on. Good idea. I mean I've moved on in a way as in I know we will never be together again and I don't want to be. But she means in the sense of him being here for his daughter. See I'm having a hard time trying to decided if I should work things out so he can be involved. but he won't make the effort. So that's why I was told to cut my losses. If he were going to be here or wanted to be, wouldn't he? I told him I was willing to listen, I didn't say I would forgive him but I said I'd listen and try to get along. Is he making an effort to do so? Well of the last two weeks, no. Oh well I guess. Not really my problem. I'm not waiting around and I'm not really willing. I just don't want to look like a bad guy when he misses things.
