| Far Away |
FAR AWAY.....This is where I feel I am at times. This past Wednesday was my birthday, and it was the first time I actually felt nothing. It was just another day for me, nothing special at all. Is that weird? I honestly wished for the day to hurry up and past, so I didn't have to hear "Happy Birthday" one more time....what is wrong with me? It's not like I turned the dreaded 30 or 40....ya, I'm officially in my late 20's now but honestly that's not so bad I know, so what is my problem? I don't get it myself, but the more I thought about it, I think I've just been sad that life and time goes by way too fast. The older I get, the older my parents become, my grandma becomes, my doggy and kitties become, etc.
I think I may only have three years left with Nero and that is if I can keep him nice and healthy. He'll be ten in August and I've become very attached to him, and it scares me that the average life span for the military dogs are 12 to 13 years old.
Do you know that I'm actually dreading taking him to the kennel to board him while I leave on vacation for almost two weeks? Can you imagine being worried that your dog will not be happy; I actually feel like a mom dropping off her baby at day care! I hear my coworkers tell how they cry sometimes because they have to leave their babies at the daycare. I don't know if I'll go that far when I take Nero, but I'm seriously dreading it. Jeremy wants to take him as early as possible on Monday, so we can have a day to ourselves, but I won't take him until I absolutely have to. Yep, I think I have gone completely off the wagon!
Anyway, all that to say that I hated having a birthday this year and glad it's over. Maybe now I can get back to my normal self and stop thinking about people getting older and passing away.
I did love all my birthday presents though and am thankful that people did remember me; I'm sure I would have been more sad if no one said "Happy Birthday" I guess. |

| Big Foot In My Mouth?? |
Chelle tagged me last week to blog about embarrassing moments of putting my foot in my mouth....well, I have been thinking and thinking and I honestly cannot think of anything. I know, you all are thinking, "YA RIGHT!!!" But, seriously, I haven't said something that made me just want to kick myself. You see, I'm usually afraid of saying the wrong thing, so I normally try to keep my mouth shut just in case.
I was thinking that all of you can ask me one or two questions that you've always wanted to know and I'll blog my answers for you all. I know I'm completely losing it when it comes to blogging, but you all can help me by giving me something to blog about! :) Just keep the questions clean please! Well, let the games begin! :) |

| My Other Best Friend |
Since Jer has been gone this past month, I have been lonely at times, but even in those times, I've had my other faithful companion right by my side. At this moment, he is sitting right beside me looking at me with that cute little grin and those big brown eyes. Of course, at this moment he's also tooted, but I've come to accept him for who he is. He's just a tooting machine and I know it's not what he's eating. I love this boy; he's so happy when I come home and he cries when I leave. He knows I'm his friend, his mommy, and his playmate. We take long walks together, long naps together, and we sing together. Actually, I sing and he just howls at me. Does that mean I'm a terrible singer? :) I like to think he's complimenting me and doesn't want me to stop! :) When I do stop, he starts barking at me, so I sing more and he starts howling once again. I think he just loves to howl and it's the only time I let him do it.
He loves to make me chase him around the house to get his red ball away from him. He also loves to chase me around the house once I finally get the red ball out of his mouth. Yep, we make the perfect pair. He knows when I'm sad and I know he tries to cheer me up by putting his big snout as close as he can by my face and tries to get that doggy kiss in. I try to avoid it but sometimes I can't get away from him. Then I start laughing and he gives me that big grin as if saying, "Mission Accomplished".
Yep, he makes me look forward coming home to an empty house because even though my other best friend isn't here with me right now, my Nero waits with excited anticipation for my arrival and that, folks, makes me smile! |
