My other child, Nala

All 8 pounds of her!








Well everyone always posts about their children and my dogs are my babies. Nala, I got back in January, the day she was weened off her mother, so she is very much a momma's girl and I love it. I got her at a very bad time in my life and she has been a very happy addition to my little family. She is almost 7 months and here are some updates as of today....

• 3/4 potty trained (having some difficulty with that)
• she no longer pulls the towels off the rack! (very exciting for me)
• has now realized she can jump on and off the bed
• she now sleeps through the night without trying to play
• she still sleeps in my neck and have woken up many nights with her there
• she loves to run at Sammy and bite his neck

Mom

So a few weeks ago we went to Bounce U for my nephews and my moms birthday. It actually was really fun and very tiring. Here is a picture of me and mom boxing. I think I rammed into her once and she said she was done. It still was fun though. She's amazing, shes been there for me with everything I have done. She is a great person and I am so lucky to have her in my life. 143 Mom!

My New Song

This is my new favorite song.  With all that I have
gone through in the past few months, this song makes
me feel better, like I can do it and I can get over
it and move on with my life cuz like the song says
" I guess its really over"....even though I never wanted
to admit it, I guess I have to now.


Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.*
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you. 

Work Work Work

Well since my job does not pay me nearly enough to pay my bills and since no other place out there will hire me for a second job, I have to work all Memorial Day weekend for some OT. I have already worked crazy hours the past 3 weeks for some OT, so this weekend should be no different, but I think I'm getting to the point where I might crack up soon. The job is getting very stressful. I have so much work to do, I almost feel like I have to go in, just to get my shit done. So if any of you don't see me again until at least next weekend, then you know why! Hopefully by next Saturday, I'll have a day off!

Oh Sammy Boy....

Everyone else seems to post about their children, so I thought I would post about one of my kids. This Sammy. He's a mut, but I love him!

I'm a Blogger....
