So it all started with a sore throat Thursday night (11/13/08) and proceeded with me feeling like a walking corpse. My abs are KEEEEEEELING me from coughing for 4 days. Took Monday off to go to the doc but I'm now out of sick time, so bronchitis be danged...to work I go. I say all that to explain why I haven't written in a while.
Last night I had a dream that I had a baby girl. Here are some vivid details I remember for those that want to try and 'figure' it out. The labor (though I didn't experience that part) took only 3 hours - I imagine in reality this would be AWESOME! She weighed 12 lbs, which shocked my mother but to me that seemed like no big deal. She was so tiny and precious with blonde hair all over her little peach fuzzed head. I named her Collin, which is weird because that's a boys name. I kept thinking "Why didn't I pick one of the several girls names I love?. Can we go back to the hospital and have a do-over on the birth certificate?" I think this comes from spending all Saturday and Sunday watching Jon & Kate Plus 8. One of their 8 kids is named Collin. Oh, I also remember taking the baby home but not using a car seat, I kept her in my arms. And I didn't wear a seat belt either. I remembered thinking "Man, my first day at this and I'm already a sucky parent." Then when we got home the baby turned into a little blond furry puppy. So WHAT IS UP WITH THAT???
In real life, I try and compare having kids to owning a dog. Since I don't have kids it's the only parallel I can draw. And I know it's a silly and unrealistic comparison, but I compare it only in the sense of how your life changes and you have to care for something that cannot care for itself. I truly hope parenting is way better than dog ownership because frankly I HATE HATE HATE being a dog owner. I have the most ungrateful and bi-polar dog that ever was. How long do Jack Russell's live anyway? Kidding. Not really.
On to other things, as I was cruising through the thousands of card making blogs I visit so my morning starts out happy, I found this picture that makes me just giggle. Please enjoy.

I was wondering when I would get to see another "Post" from you.
By the way don't use a Jack Russell to stereotype ALL dogs. There are dogs out there that have a better disposition and demand far less attention....and remember...the smaller the dog....the more needy they become. Go Corgi's! (I'm doing the SUPERSTAR pose while I say this)
Corgi's DO rock. I've met your sweet Honey (is that her name?) when you first got her and came to visit Lisa. Maybe I should rephrase my post. I do love dogs...just not ones with bad attitudes that yap...All. The. Time. *sigh* If we ever decide to get another dog down the road when our future kids are begging for one, I'll certainly keep the Corgi in mind. =)
You dream means this.
You're sick. You're on drugs.
Don't read anything into the baby becoming a dog. Dog can be lovable and sweet even though yours isn't. At least it didn't turn into a hila monster or something impoosible to love.
(BTW laughed out loud at "Kidding. Not really."
