Don't Fall In The ZeWer

Poor Emily! She is covered in knots. It started on her lower back. And months ago, I cut as many out as I could. Leaving her to sport what looked like skinny jeans for dogs. But I wasn’t able to get to the root of the problem. So we sort of stopped brushing her as much. It was really a worthless effort. So the tangles spread until she really looked like a hoodlum. I finally got around to calling this morning to get her an appointment at Petsmart. They were able to get her in right away. I think they could hear the desperation in my voice! So after lunch, I loaded up all the kids and Em and we headed off to pamper our princess pooch! Now this is where it gets interesting. Picture this: A lady walks into Petsmart with 5 kids going in every single direction and a tiny dog. The lady is so preoccupied looking around and wrangling her very obnoxious kids that she doesn’t realize that her dog has decided to poop in the stores entrance. So she proceeds to drag the poor pup dropping excrement as she goes…I should say the dog was doing the dropping! Finally, a nice employee points this problem out to the (at this point) frazzled lady. So the lady warns the very excited children to watch out for poop and she goes to get the “oops bags” which are complementary, and perfect for people like this woman who are all but prepared. As she is walking away, her foul mouthed children are laughing and screaming “POOP,” at the top of their lungs. And of course one of the youngest kids manages to step in it and begins walking in circles while looking behind her with this look like, “why is it following me?” as she leaves a trail. I am just going to keep pretending that that lady wasn’t ME!

While writing this, the house began to shake. So I ran upstairs to yell at ask Tyler to calm down. He was sitting quietly playing legos. The house began to shake again a little more this time waking all the napping kiddos up with screams and tears. I got the baby out of the crib and had all of the kids stand in the doorways. This was my first experience with an EARTHQUAKE! The young-ins were all freaked out but quickly fell back asleep.
