Barf!!

I've been missing from blogland for a few days... not having that great of a week. Some good things have happened for sure, but there's just been a real barfy overtone to the whole thing.

Brief overview:

Drive to Lousianna and, quite possibly, the most boring town ever.

Bring Jet home!
Jet gets sick.

Sean leaves for off-shore.

I get sick.

I have bad reaction to antibiotic, and have to get a new one.

Work is so so stressful (I had earthworms all over my room today, and that was the highlight. Of the week.)



So now I'm just off since Sean's gone. I absolutely hate it. I can't imagine what it's like for women who's husbands are deployed or gone for months at a time. The longest Sean has been gone is three months, and even then he came back for a day here and there, so it wasn't really three months. I don't handle it well at all.


This time he thinks he'll only be gone a week or so, but I won't believe it till I see it. It always starts out that way, and then it just gets longer and longer. Last time it was supposed to be a week and turned into three. So, I'm not too optimistic.



My poor puppy was SO excited when we picked him up on Sunday. We felt so incredibly guilty when we saw how excited he was to see us. He was gone for about three weeks showing in dog shows (which I am not a fan of now that I've seen a little. Too subjective.). It was such a great moment, and I can't even do it justice because I'm in such a downer mood. I'll sum it up with a few pictures of the ride home.

I haven't held this dog in my lap in a truck since he was about 8 weeks old on the way home for the first time! I don't know what made him decide to climb over the console and into my lap, but it sure was CUTE!

At one point in the drive, Jet insisted that he get petted continually! If I stopped for a second, he'd look up at me with his head on my arm... and of course, he'd get more pets! He knows how to work me over!

They've both got a funny look going on, but still so cute (so cute I just got up to give him a couple cookies. The dog, that is.)!

  1. I've been wondering where you've been! =) I'm sorry you're having a rough week! I know it's hard with Sean being gone! I hope your weekend is great. Too bad I'm not there and we could do a girls night out! =)

  2. Ahhh... I sure hope you feel better soon. I HATE it when husband leaves. His longest trip was only 10 days and I wanted to kill myself by the time he made it back home. Why can't they just be at our side at all times?!
    Jet is ADORABLE. I bet he really was SO HAPPY to see you guys!
    *hugs*
