Stress, isn't fun but it is even more frustrating when you just keep heaping it on top of itself. What am I talking about? Here is the list:
1. Thanksgiving: no money for meal but manage to pull it off.
2. Christmas: no money for meal but still manage to pull it off.
3. Get Strep.... fever 102 for two days worried about house.... (not husbands strong suit)
4. Take friends dog: not a huge inconvenience. I love Grimm. But husband and I decided after Grimm goes home that we would get another dog. Message received. "Looks like I am coming home on the 30th"
5. I am sure you see where this is going... Discuss getting dog. Agreed on Kota like reception or a coonhound who is well mannered for his/her breed.
6. TA DA! Find Tree Walker Coonhound Full blooded amazing manners for 1 year and no training from the Tacoma Humane Society. (Amazing find! Only a few minutes after discussion. Didn't look at any other dogs)
7. Get said Coonhound then shortly after driving away from the shelter, get text "OK, So I will be staying for another month." *Facepalm*
8. Kota (mutt), Casteil (coonhound), Grimm (Great Dane), and Sissy (Cat). Can we say "Zoo" children?
9. Military pay is screwed up. Yep, that's right folks. We got paid half the amount we would have normally gotten. 40 bucks for food. We will make it though.
10. Suddenly, I realize that I am 2 weeks behind in school and I am still typing this while I continue to procrastinate.

That's right ladies and gents! Not only is the normal stresses of work, husband, "kids" (furbabies), and school causing me issues. Guilt... yep, that stomach gnawing, gut retching, guilt. *facepalms again*

Well kiddies, let this be a lesson to ya. Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today!

P.S. Green tip of the day.... PICK UP YOUR DOGS POOH!!! They lack thumbs to be able to pick up their own.
