I had every intention of getting absolutely, positively everything done today.

Which would’ve probably been possilbe had this little monster allowed me to sleep through the night.

But no…she’s off schedule again.

• 12am…get up, take the dog outisde
• 12:15am…give the dog a peanut butter potty treat for going outside & not inside
• 12:20am…take the dog out one more time because she’s got to go again.
• 12:30am…climb back upstairs to bed.
• 12:45am…get up again, go downstairs & give Maggie a pig stick because she’s now wide awake & looking for something to chew up
• 1:00am…go back upstairs & climb back in bed
• 3:00am…get up again, take the dog outside – again!
• 3:15am…give the dog a peanut butter potty treat for…well, you know
• 3:20am…climb back upstairs, climb in bed
• 3:25am…get up again & take the dog outside – again, again.
• 3:30am…give up on the idea of sleeping through the night in my own bed & crash on the couch
• 3:50am…scootch over because the dog finally is ready to go back to bed & wants up on the couch next to me
• 4:45am…wake up because Eric’s alarm went off
• 5:20am…climb back upstairs, crawl into bed to find Eric’s put the dog in the bed & wrapped her up in my blankets
• 5:21am…take the blankets away from the dog & curl up hoping for the sweet relief of unconciousness
• 7:00am…wake up & face the day

That’s how my day began.

It was followed with sweeping & mopping the whole house, only to have the dog trapse mud & muck across the floor after coming back inside…only to have to mop again.

And while I managed to get dinner started & some important business work done (which was highly detailed & draining), I still have yet to:

• Find something funny to say about the thing that the dog chewed up & post about it
• Reply to Cynthia, the Army wife who’s about to PCS to Korea
• Laundry, laundry, laundry
• Call my mom to see how she’s doing
• Clean the kitchen & put away the left-overs
• Reply to half a dozen clients
• Back-up my emails & design files that I should’ve done Friday

Well, I had every intention of getting things done.

It’ll just have to get added to tomorrow’s list of stuff to do.
