Where are my children?

I'm much better, and danged near over it.  I know how to kick this crap without a doctor's care.  Yeah, I'm that good.

Mom left town today.  She left town and took my kids.  OK, I'm OK with a night off, but what to do with it???  I took a friend to pick up her car (in the shop for a broken door handle) and followed her to her house.  That was fun.  I had a good time.

Then, I stopped to see my best friend in the WHOLE world, Tammy.  They were at Joker's (a pizza joint that we all love) so I stopped to say "hey".  Then, I saw her.  I saw a friend that I hadn't seen in 12 or so years.  It was weird.  I thought it was her, so we called her name.  She came over and we talked like life hadn't stopped.  Life has stopped.

Her ex died 2 years ago.  He was an awesome person, and I was sad to hear that.  Her little boy, who I babysat, is now 20.  *sigh*  I'm old.  She's having the same problems that I'm having with Brett, only magnified.   We talked forever, and I finally had to go.  After all, Sadie needed to pee, and I had to get home.

I headed home, and took Sadie for a pee.  She was more than happy to oblige.  Then, I did it.  I loaded her in the car and brought her home.  I can't stand for her to be at home, inside or out, and not know where her "people" are.  Now there is a lot of sniffing and barking going on.  It'll all be settled soon. Sadie needs to be with people, and now she is.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for dogs, and for old friends.  I'm going to go to bed happy, knowing that my girls are getting a much-needed vacation, and that Sadie is warm and happy, and that I have friends, and that my husband bought me a CD that I wanted desperately.  I LOVE this band.  Give Little Big Town a listen.  Honestly.

Seriously.  If you like Fleetwood Mac, and their harmony, you'll LOVE Little Big Town as much as I do.

I'm glad Sadie is with you. I never liked the idea of leaving a dog home.

I haven't been to Jokers in awhile. Love Mark and love his parents. Ask him how his dad escaped from Berlin. But now I go to Nila's in GV. Love her more. Loved the pictures of your mom and daughters on her web site and wish I was in a body of water other than a bathtub!

That was nice of you to take Sadie back home with you so she wouldn't be lonely!
