Surviving the Domestic Jungle

This weekend has been a busy whirlwind and Im officially pooped! I went for a pedicure and was some how forced into a pedicure, manicure and eyebrow wax! I was basically told I was getting the manicure and eyebrow wax because those nail ladies are some tough chicks! Absolutely everything about each “procedure” was painful and awful. When I left there, I felt relief that the pain was over! I looked great but I felt like I had been tortured and I will without a doubt not be going back to that place! After that, we went and got a puppy which is a choice I am not sure was the right one. I like the idea of a dog for security reasons but a puppy is proving to be an extreme pain in the ass and I’m not sure I’m up to the task. I am trying to deal with my kids and this puppy was like we added one more 2 year old to the mix. I have to keep more of an eye on him than I do my kids. It is proving to be extremely stressful for my husband and I. I was up more with the puppy last night than I ever was with Hudson, even on his first night home! I’m hoping he quickly figures things out because I just do not have the patience for it all and didn’t realize I didn’t have the patience until I was already knee deep in it. To top it all off, the girls are scared of the dog. Hailey screams bloody murder every time he goes near her and Avery is a little timid but not too bad. Im overwhelmed, Im tired and Im perhaps a little grouchy. Hopefully things settle down quickly because mommy is headed for a freak out if things don’t get easier soon! On a happy note, Avery lost her first tooth today! She had her other tooth pulled but this is the first one that ever fell out on its own! It is pretty exciting stuff around here and now her smile looks really cute and jack-o-lanternish! All in all a great weekend with my family but a little too much responsibility on my plate right now….
