Yeah, so it's now the end of January, so technically it is no longer New Year, but I think we'll skip the small details here and just focus on the fact that it IS a new year. Pat has officially been gone for over a year now and I'm hoping that he'll be home sooner rather than later, but seeing as how we still don't have orders, I'm not going to hold my breath. I do still get to see and speak to him via Skype, so not all hope is lost yet. When I lose that then I'll worry.
I joked the other day that I was going to start a new blog and call it "Random Conversations with Britney" because of the extreme randomness that falls out of her mouth sometimes when she speaks. For example, this morning she spouted off with "Did you know that whales have to sleep with one eye open? They have to because if they close both eyes then their brain doesn't tell them to breathe, so they always sleep with one eye open."
I didn't know whether to laugh because it was a joke and she just forgot the punch line or to sit there dumbfounded because she really believed it. I wound up going with the second choice. She's old enough to know she needs to fact check certain things she hears, but it's like her brain malfunctions sometimes and short wires her intelligence factor.
Meanwhile, I have filed our taxes and keep hoping the IRS finally says "oh yeah, hey, we received them and we're gonna send you the money you overpaid last year." Not that I'm going to hold my breath on that either, but it would be nice to get some kind of recognition...ya know? I get that it's the Gubbament and they really don't like confirming anything...I mean, really...I do understand that...hello! they employ my husband and are the ones who cut his paychecks. Sheesh...I really should be used to the whole "we can neither confirm nor deny" factor by this point.
I'm impatient and I know that. Sometimes I embrace that quality and run with it and other times I allow it to drive me bat shit crazy. Today is the bat shit crazy day. Just so you all know.
Oh yeah...gosh how could I have forgotten?! We now have three boys in our household. Ash is our newest addition, he is now the official little brother of Tiberius and Seamus (pronounced Shay-mus...not Sea-mus). That puts our total count at one cat (Seamus) and two Siberian Huskies. Yes...I am a glutton for punishment and insist on cleaning the floors in our house more than once per day. However; I don't know any other person that gets the kind of unconditional love and free entertainment every single day that my Siberian's provide for me, so I'll take my glutton with a side of dog hair and be happy about it!
