The Life

Life lately has me feeling like I am an old dog constantly walking uphill.
All the practices, meetings, meets, work and special occasions(easter and my bday) have me feeling like this:

Lately you will see me like this more often than not.
I am hopeful that tomorrow I will get just a moment of this:


In case you didn't know, this is Chloe, my 12 year old black lab. She is MY dog and I love her like mad.. how could you not? Look at that face. :)

I have recently gone back to work and it is kicking my butt, time wise. I am so used to having my whole day to get the housework done and have my computer time. Needless to say I have not gone near my blog for an entire week! ACK! I think I am finally hitting my stride again and getting my new schedule worked out. All this and all I am doing is substitute teaching at our local high school. I think it makes it worse that I never know when I go to bed if I am going to be working the next day or not. So far I have had 1 day off in the last week and a half. Which truly is a good thing because it means they like the job I am doing but at the same time I thought I would have a bit more time to ease into things. :D

Love the whole post, and love Chloe. Labs are just the best! I've missed you but won't complain since you're doing important work shaping youth and all that. ;-)

You probably missed the giant snowman since you're less of a hick than we are over this way!

The photos of Chloe and the journaling go so good together. Thanks for your kind comment about about my son. A while back when you showed your son at the skate park I would open your blog and tears would just run down and I would tell myself its about time I get over this and move on.

Your doggie is adorable. I love labs and their personalities and temperments. Good luck with working, I bet it's tough to get used to.

I feel ya on this one! Life has been kicking my butt lately too. I went from having all the time in the world to get things done and all of a sudden I am getting SO busy. I'm trying to find my "balance" too. :)

And your doggie is ADORABLE!!! I have a white lab so labs are very special to my heart- they are just SUCH good dogs!
