Random Thoughts While Scooping Poop

Can I count mucking out 5 months of dog turds as a service project?  I'm sure my neighbors appreciate it.  It did take the fact that the family is descending on our house this weekend to get me to do it.

I'm not looking forward to cleaning up after 5 dogs.  Maybe I'll make The Dad do it.  Retirement has made him far too lazy.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to breathe again.  Whoever thought just sitting in a chair would make you feel like you just ran a mile?  Or a block, since we are talking about me.

While part of me knows we will be okay, I really wish just enough money to pay for our medical bills would magically show up in our bank account.  Or better yet, that the next set would come to us as paid in full.

I've been told many times to study the Atonement.  Where do I even start with that?  I know the basics, but what next?  I can hardly get through the interesting non-fiction books, let alone religious ones.

Why must my sandals make my feet stink so very, very much?

I greatly appreciate that both of The Dogs poop in one spot in the yard.  Too bad they each have their own spot.  But at least you can still walk through the yard without stepping in a turd bomb, as long as you know where the spot is.

I hope I get my brain back after The Daughter is born.  I'm tired of forgetting what I'm talking about in the middle of saying it.

2 weeks!  Gah!  I want it over with and I want it to never happen.  I don't like uncertainty.

I hope I have the energy to at least vacuum before every one gets here.  The dog hair has taken over again.

Looking at dog poop for an hour makes you think about dogs.  Huh.

Maybe I'll weed the front yard tomorrow.  Probably not, though.

  1. Hmm... atonement, atonement... nope, doesn't ring a bell. :) I would recommend that you start trying to learn what you don't understand. "What if I don't know what I don't understand?" Hah, I beat you to it... Well, then start reading books by people that do understand the Atonement. Look online to find books written by modern apostles. Look to find books written by modern apostles interpreting books written by ancient apostles (and no, I don't mean ancient as in Boyd K. Packer) Pray to know more and seek the Spirit because you will never understand anything of a spiritual nature without him. Good luck, I'm excited for you. Especially now that the Spawnette will soon be here, the Atonement will take on a whole new meaning. :)

I will be watching, and just like Santa Claus, if you are naughty, I will hunt you down and feed you to my reindeer (I keep them in my shed). I reserve the right to delete any and all comment that make my feelgoods feel bad.
