About Me

Mostly, this is my clearing house for sharing things I'm finding along my journey to, well, awesomeness. Recipes, exercise, successes, failures, inspiration. Things I want to preserve as I stumble across them. If you happen to be someone who finds them, enjoy!

ACK! I'm stuck in a puppy time warp.

It's bad people.  BAD.  Things have been in such uproar with the addition of Scout + the building of a GIANT patio for a swimming pool in the backyard + the end of the school year that I don't even have a firm timeframe in place of how long ago this puppy joined the family.

CHAOS.

And, for the record, I'm not a fan of chaos.  Some people thrive under it.  Not I.

Oh yeah, and the kid lost another tooth in the mix. 

The puppy needs CONSTANT attention.  Something we either totally neglected or blocked out from when Boo was a pup.  Or Boo was not this insane.  Scout would GLADLY chew up everything in this house.  Including the carpet, any random cords and all of the people.  Boo wasn't a chewer.  Scout would also gladly potty 850 times a day.  Boo was trained on indoor puppy pee pads.  It's just sooooo different and sooooooo exhausting.

So where does this leave the journey to awesomeness?  Well, it's still happening.....just a lot more slowly and solely fueled by the 1/2 of a brain cell I have left over after having to focus all the others on the puppy.

A beacon of light?  Now that school is out, Holland makes a great puppy wrangler and potty break facilitator.  Perhaps this will give my brain a chance to go back to writing amazing blog entries and focusing on being 100% on plan for Weight Watchers and my hiatused Couch 2 5K training.

He won't be a puppy forever..........he won't be a puppy forever.....he won't be a puppy forever.......
