HELP IS HERE!

My co-worker looked out the window this afternoon and said, “Lisa, I think your bus is here!” I said, “What? The short bus?”

She laughs, then finally says, “Good line. Better than the reality of the situation.”

She points out the window at a bus parked along the side of the street. “HELP IS HERE!” screams the advertising from the side of the bus. And with the bus: Talk show host Montel Williams. Seriously!

Heaven knows, I do need help. But Montel?


Here is one bit of proof that I am not a morning person. This morning, I got up, went into the bathroom, took my shower, conditioned my hair, blew it dry, got dressed, fed the dogs, brushed my teeth, drove to work…you get the picture.

I get to work, and my hair is really limp and icky.

Finally, I realized that I had skipped one important step within my morning ritual. I had forgotten to wash my hair. Mind you, I did condition it. I just didn’t wash it beforehand. I couldn’t wait to get home! GROSS!

My hair would have looked better painted on!

And speaking of gross…

Nate and I share our king-sized bed with our two dogs. They are both wonderful little snugglers, and they are small, so they don’t take up much space. Usually, Roscoe just burrows down to the bottom of the bed and keeps my feet warm. Leo, however, will stay in bed and snuggle for a while, then get up and patrol the area, then come back to bed and burrow under the covers, too.

A few days ago, at around 3:00 a.m., I am awakened by a horrible sound: the sound of a dog gagging. It is Leo, and he is under the covers in the bed, and before I can fully wake up, he proceeds to vomit on the bed (in between the sheets) and on my pajamas.

Nate and I sprang into action: stripping the bed and getting Leo moved to a spot where vomiting wouldn’t do so much damage. And poor Roscoe – he was some kind of ticked off that we had interrupted his sleep. How dare we? And Leo just wanted to curl back up in bed. Sorry, Leo, but you've been relegated to more vomit-proof areas of the house. Well, until you're better.

What Roscoe had to say about Leo.

And Leo had the GALL to YAWN!
