My brain is mush!

I realize that moving into your parent's house for a couple weeks sounds lovely and fun...but I want to empathically disagree. House sitting for my parents is quite the chore. It is a big house that needs to be maintained (with 2 dogs) and it requires a lot of follow-up to make sure everything is in lock down...to sooth my anxiety of someone breaking in. I struggle with being in this house by myself. Not because I am afraid to be by myself but because I worry that at any given moment, someone could break in....and I would be vulnerable. Granted the dogs are an amazing alarm system. This is one of my issues!!! This is why I live in an apartment building....5 plex. I am surrounded by people and if anything were to happen...I am confident that someone would come to my rescue...if needed. I could be totally wrong...this is my psychosis.

The dogs.....uggghhh!!! I really do love them dearly, especially my own. However, the 2 together...evil little critters. Granted they live in a very different environment from one another. Mine has gotten used to going out at 4am and will sleep with me till 10am. My parents' dog....gets up at 5:30am with my stepfather. This is very difficult to say the least. I will get home and take them out for a tinkle at 4am...and then pray that they leave me be till at least 9am. Ha!!! Ya right! Every friggin morning they get me up at 8:30 or earlier...and of course I have to let them out. Then they are super rambunctious and want to eat...so I go and get them breakfast...and of course try to go back to bed. Naturally, they want to join me. Well...this is snuggle time for them. I somehow get sandwiched between the two...which sucks. I mean...if I was well rested this wouldn't matter...but I am actually trying to get some REM sleep...and I like to spread out. So I spread myself out...and then they get comfortable in my crevices. I tend to toss and turn a lot. And so I adjust, turn over or whatever...and discover I can't move!!! GRRRRR!!!! I hate to have to push them...but that is what I end up having to do. NO FRIGGIN PEACE!!!

I  have decided that my parents come home...I am going to give them a night with the 2 nerds...and I am going to have a VERY restful sleep...till I can't sleep anymore. Good times!!

Well folks...need to get horizontal for a bit!!! Till tomorrow xo
