Back on my feet, finally!!!

Well, how often do you get to hear about the most boring week in someones life? Only I would choose to blog about it. You see, I re-injured my back last Monday and have been down with a slipped disk since then. I am now on the mend. I had to take an entire week off work. Do you know what this week has taught me? I really need to work. I am not the kind of person to just lay around. I find that it makes me terribly frustrated, bored, angry and to be honest, really nasty to my husband. He should be granted saint-hood just for putting up with me. I feel very safe in the fact that he REALLY needs me to go back to work as well. If asked, I am sure he would agree!! May God bless and keep him for putting up with my grouchy old butt!

I have seen more television, movies, played more computer games than anyone should ever have to in the course of the last week. These are things that I look forward to in the normal work week. However, here it is Sunday, and I would give anything to go and do something, anything! But mother nature is giving us some much needed rain. So... that limits us to indoor excursions. Maybe I can put on my thinking cap and figure out something to do that isn't mind numbing. I am sure that Jeff can come up with a couple of good ideas.

In my movie mania week, I did see the movie, "Marley and Me." It was a lovely movie until the very end. I had read the book, but the movie really shows how hard it is to lose a beloved life long pet. Truth is, it hit a little too close for home for my liking. My sweet dog, Midnight, is going to be 14 years old on Halloween. She is getting very gray around the muzzle and eyes, a little stiff in the cooler wet weather, and a lot more senile. She is still to me, one of the sweetest animals God ever put on this Earth. I love her more than words can say. She still has a little of the Chow stubbornness, but truth be told, that is my very favorite characteristic of her. She is adorable and loving. She greets any visitor to our home with her toy in her mouth saying, "Catch me if you can!" I do not look forward to the day that our home will not be gifted with her lovely, carefree, curious, and playful personality. That will be a dark day indeed.

Well, thanks for listening to this, frustrated, grumpy old woman's ramblings. Sometimes it just makes you feel better to write about the boredom. I can hardly wait for Tuesday to get back to my job and all those sweet pups!! If I have learned anything at all this past week, it is for certain that I am a doer. I need to keep busy for sanity's sake!
