Random bits of nonsense

Today I am random.

I had a delightful Mother's Day with Cinnabons, gifts, lunch out, and the most fabulous kid in the world. Oh, and he got a hair cut because nothing says Happy Mother's Day like scissors. The kid really outdid himself in the gift department. He made his own card, I know, like Wow man. As a crafter I totally adore homemade things and hardly ever receive them. The kid for the last few years has almost always made me a card and they are quite spectacular. We headed out to lunch and joined the masses of mothers, mothers-to-be, and woman on their own looking dazed and confused. We laughed, joked and judged all the other patrons in their clothing selection because we are both shallow that way when we hang out together.

A lovely day all the way around except for when Olive peed on the carpet on my watch, again! I swear she saves all her urine during the time the kid watches her and then the flood gates open when she is back in my presence. She is so brilliant in some areas.

The dogs have decided, well Herbie decided if he didn't start to do something Olive would simply annoy him to death, to play together. ALL THE TIME. As in every minute of the day! I keep hoping for the time that Olive will fall over in a deep sleep and that time never arrives. The dog is like the energizer bunny, she just keeps on going and going. Herbie on the other hand doesn't even have the energy to bark at the front door anymore. He just waits for the burglar to come in and then points the way to Olive, with a look that says "Please take her, fast! I'd help you but I am unable to move even the slightest little bit."

Herbie has his secret weapon, he has the ability to leap onto furniture. Olive hasn't figured out this feat of nature and she truly thinks Herbie has a secret power. One that makes him king of the dog world and therefore must be overthrown. She spends her spare time trying to make this a reality, all to no avail. When he leaps onto the bed, her little head spins around and awe fills her eyes followed by her running to the toy chest, getting his favorite OF ALL HIS TOYS toy, running back to the bedroom and disemboweling it right in front of his eyes. This weekend alone I threw away two toy squeaker boxes and two dog toys missing their heads. It is lovely to finally have a girl dog, because you know they are so lady like and dainty. HA!

Hope you all had a most super of Mother's Day.
