The first weekend...

I'm rounding out my first weekend as CHIEF of the house :) ALPHA of the dogs and OPERATOR of the Reeves home. Wow...in retrospect I've had quite a busy weekend! And let me tell you, adjusting to all these new titles (I've just given myself) has taken some work and will take even more in time....I'm sure.

I've been able to talk with Bill several times via phone and Skype. He looks SUPER HOT (as in sexy hot, not temperature) and comfortable. He tells me accommodations are fine and he sounds really optimistic. I'm so grateful to have talked to him so frequently..he's so awesome to understand that this means SO much to me and make such an effort.

So I wanted to fill my weekend with things to do...and look forward to. I have awesome friends who invited me to a great Christmas party Saturday night. And as for Sunday...well, Sunday I was on my own (by choice). I wanted to take the dogs to get a picture with Santa and I wanted to surprise Bill thinking the story AND picture would be hilarious. However, we got there (the three of us) in line....it is a HOT line (and this time I mean temperature wise) and Kenda and Maxxis decide to fill the hallway with the echos of their bark. Yep...noise makers and hyper gremlins - that's who I brought to see Santa. So as I looked around and saw many "sample dogs" in people's arms or larger, very tame breeds....I looked at K&M after staying a good 15-20 minutes and said, "Maybe next year big guys."

The next thing I had planned to do for myself..and my honey..is drive HIS car. Uuugh...I have been putting this off all week and after today's sharade...I understand why. However, initially, as I climbed in...I immediately teared up. I smelled our date night on Fridays, our errands on Saturday, and the dog park on Sunday. I started to tear up..right before it all became a little comical. He drives a Dodge charger (and did I mention how hot he looks in it)?! However, Ms. Betty is WIDE..she's a WIDE girl and I'm unsure how Bill fits her in the driveway with my little girl, but he does. So I get in his car, adjust the seat (oh yea, honey - it's up to the ceiling), adjust the mirrors and attempt to back out of the driveway. I kept hitting the curb. I tried three of four times and couldn't get out without going over the curb. Seriously?! So I then took my car and moved it out to the street. THERE...problem solved, right? So I get back into this BEAST of a car and back her out....only to see the brake light. CRAP?! Where's the release? I hit the actual emergency brake instead of the release?! The car stops in the middle of the road....a car is behind me...and finally the release for the brake jumps out at me! Shheew......the rest of the drive, thank God, was uneventful.

The rest of the afternoon and evening has been as pleasant as it can be...with two pups cuddling me like they KNOW I need them to be good (and calm) right now. And although I have two invitations this evening to get out of the house...I really just want to stay in my PJs and cuddle on my babies. I'm doing okay...but just want a little down time.
