Yes, another adventure into the world of denial! All those things that you would never, ever admit to anyone face-to-face - but are perfectly willing to publish for all the world to see on your blog! Thanks to MckMama at mycharmingkids.net for providing us with this outlet.
I did not, nor would I ever, give my rat terrier, Dixie, doggie valium just because she was frightened by all the fireworks on New Year's Eve. I think the neighbors on the next street over hired professionals this year! Starting about 9:15 you would hear a loud "whump", a few seconds later the explosions would shake the windows and light up the entire area! They kept this up for just over THREE HOURS!!
And I certainly didn't spend part of that same New Year's Eve on the bathroom floor . . . . . trying to coax that same Dixie Dog out from under the toilet where she was vibrating in fear!
At great risk to my personal health I didn't choke down enough black-eyed peas to cover my luck for 2009. And I did NOT mix them with a healthy portion of rice and a very UNhealthy portion of real butter!
Finally - I am not spending endless hours doing laundry because someone around here didn't do any at all last week! And I didn't feel sooooo ambitious this morning that I decided I would do ALL the people blankets, doggie blankets and change the sheets today, too!
