Rolling with the punches....

Yesterday.........well it was one of those days. The kind of day where you have a ton of things to do and no time to do them, and to make it all worse things happen throughout the day that just work against you. Yesterday was such a day for me.........it began by being woken up by a loud crack of thunder. It was a weird way to wake up but i welcomed it as i really enjoy severe weather, my 1st concern was Kai our 5 month old puppy. Oh yeah for those of you who dont know we got a second dog, very cute and smart but extremely stubborn and strong willed. Heres a quick photo:




Where were we? Ah yes Kai!He was in his kennel and to my surprise he seemed to ok, no howling or crying nothing. I let him out went downstairs to let him go outside. Well he didnt want to set foot outside and just sat at the doorway, no problem, i figured if he really needs to go he would go out. I regretted that decision 5 minutes later when i found a huge pile of poop on the carpet!! It was the really soft and runny kind too, the kind that dog owners LOOOOVE to get on their carpets. I was ticked! I knew it was going to take forever to clean that up and make sure it doesnt stain the carpet......all the stuff you need to do in order to save the carpet. Anyway, i was pretty upset and not looking forward to this, but i figured i would treat a couple other small areas of the carpet that needed more cleaning after we had shampooed the carpet. So the dogs went outside, and i cleaned away forgetting that i had used the hose and forgot to turn it off. My backyard became a mud puddle and i didnt realize what was going on until i went outside and heard a splashing noise and saw Kai vigorously digging in the puddle! I ran to the backyard and was greeted by this......





I was even more upset now and i could feel it........but i took a deep breath looked at my 2 boys and couldnt help but start laughing. The backyard was a disaster, my day was shot as i now had to clean up the backyard and then clean up the dogs. What can you do though, if i were them i probably would have done the same thing. Its easy to get caught up in this life, to let these little incidents become disasters. Its hard to see past the crisis thats in front of your face, but a lot of times its a crisis because we make it a crisis. I overreact way to easily and let small problems become big ones all to often, it took 2 very dirty dogs to remind me that i should live by the motto i tell everyone else "Life is only as complicated as you make it." Theres times to get up set but for the most part i think life is full of very little problems and a few BIG ones that come a long in our lifetime. I think ill try to to relax from now on, sometimes all you can do is just roll with the punches...
