Weary Wednesday

Today was a very weary Wednesday for Daddy, he is obsessed with being so far behind in his work, which always happens at the end of a semester. This summer session has been particularly difficult because Daddy hasn’t been feeling well, anxiously anticipating surgery on his back, constant toothaches and headaches. On top of all that Daddy is being paid by the school to complete a special project and he is so far behind on it as well, it is all simply taking a toll. Yuk…it is such a weary Wednesday, by the time Daddy sat down to do this blog entry he could barely remember any details of the day.

We are all looking forward to our fence being finally finished, so we can get some final touches on a few summer projects before summer is gone. All the posts have been in place and today the good men from the excellent Triple A fence company are busy at work in the heat finishing the project---it is obvious it is going to look magnificent!

Mommy spent four hours today at the Humane Society, and the three of us never even got out of our pajamas—just playing and watching movies together. It is a treat watching the two of you interact and sit in amazement at how incredibly intelligent the two of you are.  Thank goodness the two of you had an interest in watching Chicken Run instead of Rio for a change, Daddy is definitely burned out on Rio for a while.

We didn’t do well at nap time today, so the two of you were rather fussy through the evening. Mommy made us dinner and took the two of you outside to play while Daddy worked, though you got in so much trouble, Buddha, for biting your sister that Mommy put you summarily to bed in your room and shut the door and literally ignored your crying for nearly an hour. You are headed for regular trouble young man, if the biting routine does not come to a quick end! You were really a good girl, Bodhi, for having so little sleep. Though you went to bed in your own bed, midway through the night you were up and came down and joined Daddy while he continued to work and you ended up sleeping the rest of the night on the couch.

We are all worn out, and Daddy is clearly suffering burn-out. Goodnight precious angels. Soon, the summer term will end and we will go to a state park for a few days. Daddy is looking forward to it perhaps more than anyone! “Night, night!”

Buddha, when Mommy checked in on you after putting you to bed for biting your sister, a couple of hours later... you instantly awakened, reached your arms out, said "Mommy I'm sorry," and officially broke your Mommy's heart!  Mommy got you a drink of water, rocked you, and put you back in your bed after completing our nightly routine!!!  

Sucker Sucker!  Our house is freezing cold yet you are naked and sweating ha/ha!
