We're still playing with many of the Christmas presents. That's a plus. Don't want them to begin gathering dust just hours after opening. We're settling into a routine of being here and home on this great staycation. I'm getting some honey-do's done and that always feels good.
A friend went out of town and we've been taking care of their 11-year-old boxer. We love taking care of this dog. She is so kind and sweet. Well, this is the first time the dog has come to our house to stay for a few days. The kids have been asking us about a dog for some time. And we were warming up to the idea too. But now that we have one in the house all the time...reality sets in. The reality of getting up to take her out in the cold morning. Getting up to walk one more time before bed (you get the idea). We've seen the hair around the house and the slobber on the floor. Reality sets in. We'll have a dog one day. We just need to get the right time.
Isn't it fascinating how you think you want something...until you get it?
