Happy Holiday Weekend

It’s Saturday! That doesn’t mean much to me when I work every Saturday, however. Ten long hours. I’m not going to whine. I promise.

I dropped Dawson off at Grandma’s this morning. He didn’t even care that his “Mumma” was going to work and that he wouldn’t see me until tomorrow. My parents offered to keep the Doodlebug overnight again, so they could spend time with him over the holiday weekend. Dawson loves his grandparents so much, and I’m happy for that, but part of me wishes he would have at least been a little bit sad to see me go. Oh well. It’s not like he’s gone for a week or anything. And I admit I do need some me time.

Doug works until 9 p.m. tonight so I won’t see him until then. I think I will take the Murphster for a walk when I’m done with work. I’ve neglected to take him the last few times because he nipped at a passer-by on Tuesday and that scared me. I’ve never seen Murphy be aggressive with anyone. Hyper, yes. He likes to jump an lick and play. He’s a dog for goodness sake. But I’ve never witnessed an incident of nipping. I don’t know if he was being protective over Dawson in the stroller, but he didn’t like the gentleman who passed by and wanted to pet him. I was so embarrassed and sad. The good news is the guy is okay and Murphy didn’t bite him. -Wiping the sweat off my brow- That’s a relief.

Another thing I’d like to do after work is clean the house. With the Bug around, things get messy quickly. Toys all over, unfolded laundry in baskets waiting to be put away. A kitchen floor that needs mopping. Maybe I can get that done.

But the best part of the weekend is that I get to sleep IN tomorrow. Hooray!
