Smelly Things

Today...was a weird day. I woke up uber grumpy. Maybe more emotional than grumpy, but I was most definitely "in a mood."

I got up at 0800 - as usual - to get online and talk to Joe. 0900 rolled around and I pretty much gave up hope. I was frustrated because we'd only gotten like 10 minutes in the past 2 days. {I know I should be thankful, but I'm really used to talking to him every day. Makes things different.} So, I im'ed my bestie on Skype. We chatted for a while and then Joe was finally online and able to video chat. Then we kept getting cut off. And to top it off he gave me some not-so-great news that I can't post on here because of OPSEC. It's nothing to do with R&R, for the record. But what he told me scares the living crap out of me! I know it's his job...but that doesn't mean I can't be scared!

We im'ed for a while before getting cut off again and I just lost it. Scared. Angry. Angry at God for allowing this. I know it all sounds really dramatic... I told you I was emotional this morning. Melissa suggested that I take a hot shower (my bathtub is made for little people) and go do something fun. So, after I got over my initial crapiness, I took a shower. I don't know about you, but I tend to do lots of thinking in the shower. Lots and lots. Praying also happens in the shower. I don't understand it, but it does. So I thought... I cried... I completely broke down... Aaaaand then I prayed.

Like most people, I have serious issues just giving things completely over to God. I know it's not right. I know he can handle all my itty bitty problems. I know he'll protect my husband. I know, I know, I know. So why can't I just stop trying to do it on my own?! *sigh* Stupid human nature. I don't know how God puts up with us.

After that, the rest of my day was pretty good! Funny how that works isn't it? After my shower/breakdown I was tired. I'd turned on the LSU game before and I just laid down on the couch. I fell asleep. =P I'm not sure for how long, but it was a pretty nice nap!! Except that I hadn't eaten lunch before the nap, so I was starving! Then I decided that I just wasn't into the LSU game and I put in a DVD of Grey's Anatomy. Perfection. Then, the OU game came on and I got to watch them stomp Baylor! =D I wasn't too worried about that game since we always, always, always beat them.

During the middle of the game... Jasper went nuts and peed under our bed. I really thought that he couldn't get under our bed, but he has proven me wrong. Anyway, he was going back to our bedroom for the 9 millionth time today, and I was just sick of him being in there. He lays on the bed and gets dog hair all over the place. It annoys me. So, I was going to retrieve him. Well, he got under the bed. I guess he thought I was mad at him because when I went to grab him, he started peeing. *sigh* Normally, it wouldn't irritate me so much, but this is the THIRD TIME in 3 days that he's peed in the house. Thursday when Chantal came over. Friday when the maintenance guy freaked him out (though I totally don't blame him for that one). And then today. So my house has smelled like pee for half the weekend. NOT. COOL. He's house-trained. He's even crate trained! Reversion maybe? I don't know, but I can't take this much longer.

After the game, it was time for a Scentsy party with Chantal! One of her coworkers lives near me, so she came to my house and then we went to the party. I'd never been to a Scentsy party before tonight, but you wouldn't believe that if you walked into my house. =P My mom bought me a large warmer for Christmas last year and that one is in my kitchen. I bought a beachy plug in for the living room this summer (via Melissa) and then I won one Thursday. Grand total: 3 And I have 2 or 3 scents. But, the party tonight was so much fun! Just a bunch of Army wives... And we totally ended up talking about our husbands. We're such women. Lol! I actually met a girl who is friends with my next door neighbor (who just had a baby)! That was pretty cool. I smelled probably every scent that Scentsy has. Love, love, love. I had a hard time deciding what to buy. I ended up getting one of the "package deals." I got a red mid-size warmer (for the kitchen) and 3 scents for $35. You get ONE full size warmer for $30! I think I got a good deal. It was super fun.

So, it was a totally weird day. I hope I wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow. I'm sure my husband would appreciated it if I didn't bit his head off again. He knows I'm totally not a morning person, but still. I should try to be better...at least for a few minutes. ;-)

Hope y'all are having a great weekend!
