Whoooo's a haaappy dog? Whoooo iiiis??? Whooo's a happy dog? ruff ruff

After the store ride, I let Turoc stay in the LV with me for a bit, then he ran to DS room who wasn't home last night, but Turoc sleeps in there. So I closed the door and went to bed.
It continued to get windier, and the rain was pouring, big time. I mean huge, and the wind was howling and the trees were blowing.
Turoc started howling, it was nearly midnight.
I got up, does he want to go out?
I put on my robe, my raincoat, my rubber boots, grabbed and umbrella,
surely Turoc look, you don't want to go out in this, as I opened the back door and the screen door was slamming back and forth.
Oh yea, watch this and out he ran and up the hill into the darkness.
Holy cow, I ran out, umbrella getting blown open the wrong way, I hung on tight, I went up the hill, in the dark, did I mention it was one of the heaviest type downpours we get, and the wind was treacherous.
He didn't run to neighbor son's garage, no he ran to the gate, to the shop, where haze and puppies are.
Ok then, I'll let you in there, and the big huge shop door and blown open, even though it had been locked, and it was slamming back and forth. And I tried to shut it, and my umbrella blew open the wrong direction again, and its midnight, and its pouring and I'm in my nightie and bathrobe, and everyone is asleep.
I get the door closed and block it with saw horse type things, knowing that they will probably just blow over anyways, but it will keep the door somewhat closed a little better.
And its pouring, really big time, and I can tilt my umbrella a better way now, and its midnight, and I walk down the hill again. I am pretty wet, I turn on the heater and dry my hair. I go back to bed. DH still sound asleep, phewww, Turoc's howling hadn't disturbed him.

And guess what, IT WAS NOT A DREAM, it really happened.

And son heard all about it when he got home this morning.

And now I can go back and read all your posts.

So, although I was out and about, I still did not get to see the full moon.

And in the early morn, I took my dad his meds.
But I wasn't really fully awake, I had to do one of those jump out of bed and run up the hill in my nighty/robe things again.

Maple, have you said any of that to your sisters? And eww about dog/granny poo. No poo in house! Dogs outside. Cats in the litter box. Old people in their depends.

I was sleeping in the dodge cause I was "on call" at the terminal and I was sleepy and even though there are trucks parked on the lot with beds, the dispatchers never enforce the "hand in your keys" rule so they never have keys to any trucks. And I didn't want to take a truck that we do have keys for for the local drivers because some one would need those trucks to actually work in.

So I bunked down in my truck the last two nights. Fortunately, I'm fairly short and the dodge is old and huge so I almost can stretch out in the front seat, but not quite so I got a cramp in my neck from last night.

Speaking of doggie poo, after I gave my dad his meds i asked DS to make me some coffee cuz I was out, and we went up to the shop cuz thats where the pot is, and there was doggie doo everywhere and he asked, mom, did you let the dogs in the shop last night?

And I had to watch where I was stepping cuz it was everywhere, 4 puppies ya know,
so I told him my story of weathering the storm last night at midnight, and no the saw horses hadn't kept the huge door shut tight, but they kept it from slamming back and forth.

And he was amazed I had done all that and he was fast asleep without a clue, and the doggie doo made me know it was not a dream!

Then the rain stopped for a bit this afternoon and Picky and Pecky got to come out and play in the grass and dig in the dirt with Cotton and Sheila. It ws their first time out, they are a little over a week old now, they were so cute, but the rain is back so everyone is put away,
I've vacuumed the LV and I might go lay down, maybe.

I do not want to go to work tomorrow. The crazy lady will go bezerk that I let the oldest two kids off school to go to the CIR hearing as both are going into labor/union fields. I can't bslap her, grrr. Her 32 yo lives at home and work fast food pt.

boo....have you no sense? Why use an umbrella in torential storms? All your going to do is fight with it and it will probably break and you'll be just as wet as if you'd gone out in your rubber boots and slicker anyway....just like the older guy at the store today. ha ha ha...I just love seeing people wrestle with thier umbrellas and seeing the spokes spoke out all crazy. Umbrellas are for days that the wind isn't gonna grab it and play tug of war with ya, don't cha know?

My garage door blows open too. Poor pups got scared I bet. Well, you survived....and even had someone special make you coffee....you're loved.

Oh and men sleep through everything, don't cha know? They sleep through babies crying, through their gosh aweful snoring, dogs howling, and the potential of burglers....member that one story from a byc'er who went out to her shed to see what she heard and she walked in on an injured mountain lion who was growling at her and she was in fear for her life to move and so she grabbed the walky talky and was telling her hubby to come out with a gun....and he wasn't coming until she threatened his life and said she had an insurance policy on him and then he came out running with his gun but he was buck naked??? ooooh that was a good story.

Know what? I just took a bath.....by myself. That means no kids were outside the door whining and crying about stuff. Or opening the door and letting all the hot air out, the crazy dog in, putting toys in my bath, and no 5 year old lil tooshies were climbin in the tub with me. I forgot what it was like. I almost felt uncomfortable...like I ought to be doing something, not relaxing...like any minute chaos would ensume....someone ought to be crying that she can't find her toy and the other one should be crying that her little sister won't leave her alone and she can't hear her tv because Ava keeps talking....and the dog should be barking at every little thud the girls make...and Ava should be crying at the door that she wants a bath every 5 seconds.... whew...it's so hard to be a mommy and get a bath when they are awake.



batty...yeah, I was thinking I need to enlighten the sisters but I didn't want to respond right away. I needed to simmer down and think of my words carefully. On the other hand, at this point I'm so utterly disgusted with them that I almost just want to say...forget it....and leave the toxic world alone and go ahead with my life...going to Thanksgiving dinner at my friends house, someone who actually cares about me. yeah...I dunno.

 

[scbatz33]

I'm not advocating family dinner. In fact i'd find other people to have holidays with or stay at home. But I think you need to lay it all out. They keep picking at you cause you don't fight back. I 'd tell them to go piss in a tornado and leave you alone.

 

[ChickenAlgebra]

Maple, leave the drama llamas to fester in the toxic waste they produce! Crazy family is best ignored, they will never be happy and want to make everyone else miserable, so they have more drama.

 

[ibpboo]

And you know what, I usually do not grab my umbrella,

Ok, so DH and i came home from the store to find my brother and his girlfriend outside, and there was a teenager with them.
And guess what, that teenager is my nephew, and goes to the high school in my district and this was the first time I've ever met him.

Well, I gave him green eggs, and he gave me a hug when they left.

So, I am an auntie again, 15 years later.
