Well, this week officially starts our life as we know it in England. Hailee has begun school, Cody has been on shift work, and me? Well, I've been stressed to the max. I'm all to blame, however, because I always have a way of making my life more difficult than it has to be. I obviously get bored, or feel like I have a gap that needs to be fulfilled somewhere, and the ending result almost always never lives up to it's expectations that I put forth for it. In this case, I am talking about our latest addition to our family, our dog Lincoln. Whew. This little fella has turned our household into chaos. I almost think it would have been easier to just have another baby! HA! Joking, of course! But seriously, having Lincoln has been quite an adjustment. We usually get our dogs a little bit older than we got Lincoln. Lincoln was only a measely 8 weeks old, now he is 10. In all actuality, I have dreaded the day we got our "big dog". We knew it was going to happen one day, and that day is here. We love labs, and have always wanted one, so we are sticking it out and hoping that he will learn all things he needs to in a speedy kind of way.
Cody is on shift work. 12 hour days. When 8pm rolls around, I am basically running out the door..welcoming him home! haha. Yes, by that time, I am literally run down to the ground and in desperate need for recoup time. Cody comes in, in a happy mood most days..thank God...and takes over. Apparently his days consist of him sitting in a nice quiet room..oh the LUXURY! At this moment, Hailee is harassing the dog..and if Hailee isn't harassing the dog, the dog is harassing Hailee. And if neither of those two scenerios are happening, then Bubba starts in. I cannot tell you how THANKFUL I am, when the dog finally plops down and naps. I don't think I have ever been so happy for a nap time, in my life. haha. But, then, usually, if Hailee is home...right when the dog is good and napping, she picks him up and starts harassing him. *sigh* When none of the above is going on, I'm obsessing about the dog having to go potty or yelling at him to stop trying to chew on something. Okay, enough about this topic..just talking about it, stresses me out. Of course, it may be because the chaos is happening as I speak..so that doesn't help.
Hailee started school, week one DOWN. She is doing well. I think we got off to a bumpy start in the beginning of the week. She came home and said that the kids don't like her name, they don't want to play with her, and they don't want to be her friend. But now, it seems as though she is making friends, so that relieves me. This week they learned about living and non living things, bones, and how to treat each other. She says she loves school.
I'm taking a Biology course on the 26th, I'm excited about this, but I really hope things calm down at home. It's about that time now, where Cody should be on his way home..and believe me, I am counting down the minutes till he walks through that door! :)
Adios!
