C'est La Vie

Feeling rather uninspired today... actually rather exhausted. Again, apologies for the lack of posts in the past few days, Anna is on vacation and I've been dealing with crazy drama, so it's been a rough few days! A huge storm hit on Saturday night and a tree fell over in my backyard, taking out a chunk of my house. Oh, and a tree branch smashed the windshield of my car. I don't mean to complain-because things could be way worse-but it's just been a rough week. That's all I can really say. I think it's time for a nap!

C'est La Vie

This little list sums up last week almost perfectly. Trade in daisies for roses, kittens for giant dogs and we're good. We could even add "summer" onto the list, because today is the last day until our summer vacation begins! YES! What would you guys add to this happy things list?

Monday...

{sigh}

When I got home yesterday and began walking down the hallway, I smelled a smell. Upon entering my room the smell had evolved from a bad smell to an unbearable smell. My eyes were watering and I was on the verge of running out of my house. On the floor of my room, I noticed quite a large present had been left by one of our lovely pups. {sigh}

My sister's old English sheep dog, Pippa, had had bowel movements all over the house :( and had there not been a nice cool breeze to blow the horrible stench away, I may have died of asphyxiation.

Pippa knew that she had made an oopsie and felt horrible (as was obvious when she watched from behind the corner). 

Of course I forgave the pretty girl. 

We all have bad days... you know... Mondays.

After 3 candles and some air freshener everything is smelling as good as new. In fact, they smell as good as these tulips.

When it is raining to the end of horizon, do not fret. It is a perfect time to take your sailboat out and learn the ropes.

Life would be perfect... but i'm pretty happy with where it's at now. I could complain about a million things (and believe me it's hard not to), but that won't do anyone any good. Let's start this week out on a good note and get through it a day at a time.

Happy Monday everyone.

Sleepy Mondays

This is me right now. I'm tired. I was going good until about 10 o'clock and then the sleepy wave hit me. So much for the 15+ extra hours of sleep this weekend. Happy Monday everyone.

My Day

With fingers crossed, we're hoping this week will be a good one. And what better way to kick off the week than with a little letter telling Monday what's up? We hope you all have a lovely day and an even lovelier week. Here's some inspirational finds to an even better Monday:

 A happy, upbeat song (and probably one of the best live performances I've seen).

Little kids are so freaking awesome. And is it a coincidence that they're all named John? [p.s. you'll ever guess who showed up at work yesterday...]

Amazing strength each and every day.

Such an unbelievable story. I can't wait to see the movie.

Sometimes.

sometimes we're grumpy.

sometimes we're hungry.

sometimes we're a little tired.

Sometimes we're all three.

This week has been kind of... blah. Full of good days, bad days, lazy days, and sleepless days. Not much has happened, but it feels like there's a ton of work to be done. Even though it seems we've caught a case of the Mondays mid-week, the promise of the relaxing weekend keeps us going. And hopefully, if things go really well, we won't be closely resembling these little critters anymore.

Just Tired.

flat tired.

dog tired.

"two" tired.

Any way you put it, I'm freakin' tired. I was up late last night trying to catch up on work and barely got any sleep. I don't know how Anna is always awake and lively in the morning, or how she manages to get a good night's sleep. She's just one of those crazy morning people. I'm trying to think positively though... like maybe I'll find time to squeeze in a nap today or maybe I'll get to sleep early tonight. Maybe I'll even figure out how to sleep with my eyes open. That could be a little creepy though. Anyway, I'll stop now. Go have a great Monday.
