Diapers and Mice

A while back, I wrote a post about "Things We Were Never Told About Being a Mom." Yesterday, I drove 13 hours in order to get home. It's been about a month now since I'd seen hubby, between my travels and his, so there was a high motive to get home quickly! (Not to mention, 13 hours in a van with 5 kids can be exhausting!) We finally made it home only to be invaded by some certain teenagers who shall remain nameless. In addition, one of my bff's is here in town, so she was here when I got home, too!

Hubby, in all his lonely time, started taking the videos from the camcorder over the years and transferring them. It was good to watch some old videos while my friend, her daughter and our kids talked for a bit. B-boo wanted her dog since she hadn't seen her in two weeks, so we headed over to a friend's house to pick her up. Roxy-the-bird-dog spent the past two weeks out of the house because she was/is in heat and honestly, I don't want puppies right now. Yes, I do have my limits! (Hush up, Bruce!)

So anyway, of course, the nameless teens had to come with me. Then they had to write "thank you" notes and plaster them on the bedroom of another nameless teen who helped watch the bird dog. Then, we had to go to the pet store to get, well…some stuff.

And as we were walking into the petstore, with the dog and the crazy nameless teens, it dawned on me again…this was one of those moments. Honestly, in all my dreaming of being a mom, having a family, etc….I never dawned on me that one day, one night, I'd be walking into a pet store to purchase diapers for our dog and a mouse to feed our snake. (And for once, they didn't make me sign the paper that says I promise to love and protect that cute widdle mouse until I take her home and feed her to my snake…Seriously, I love animals; and the snake has to eat, too!) I never thought I'd be making said teens put the diaper on our dog in the van I also never dreamed I'd have. Really.

We finally made it home and I went upstairs to spend some quality time with my dear hubby. And promptly fell asleep. Poor man; I really do love him!
