I'll be honest, I started my morning on a bit of a grumpy note. It actually started last night when I was trying to go to sleep. I went to bed early, but couldn't sleep. I was freezing because the temps have dropped again, but as soon as Andrew came to bed (about 45 minutes later) I was so hot in bed I was sweating. I am having trouble regulating my temperature these days. Anyway, about 45 minutes after Andrew came to bed, I think I had started to doze off when we heard our dog barking. Andrew had taken her out right before he came to bed so he decided it must've been because Catherine's night light was burnt out. I found another one, we plugged it in, and tried going back to bed. About ten minutes later, more barking. By this point we were both pretty annoyed. We got up and opened Catherine's door, and Abby ran into the family room. She really just wanted to be with Andrew it seemed, so we brought her into our bed. She settled down shortly and slept there all night. I didn't really notice her there during the night, but she slept predominantly on Andrew's side of the bed. Catherine wasn't pleased that Abby didn't want to sleep with her, and Andrew and I were not thrilled either. Hopefully it was a one time thing.
This morning, I woke up before 4:00 having had a bad dream. In the dream, I was young and not yet married. I had gone to Andrew's place and had let myself in with the key he had given me. When he returned, it was evident he was cheating on me (with the woman who was with him), and accused me of breaking in because he would never have given me a key. I was so upset by the dream that I couldn't go back to sleep (just a note...there are absolutely NO problems in our marriage...just a strange and unpleasant dream). I had about 4-1/2 hours of sleep, which isn't really what I am going for.
Andrew also decided he wasn't really in the mood to stick to his time schedule this morning, which would've been okay, except that my getting ready and being on time is dependent on him being out of the bathroom at a certain time. He keeps pointing out that on days he doesn't have to walk Abby he doesn't need to be in the shower at that time. I point out that on the days he doesn't have to walk Abby, I don't have to work so it doesn't matter when I take a shower. I was running behind and doing some scrambling, and I still needed to feed the outdoor cats. I wasn't going to make them wait all day for their food! It was dark so I couldn't really see what I was doing, and our back yard is an absolute swamp (we are in a heavy rain pattern where we are forecasted to receive nearly 4" of rain by Sunday morning). I have no idea how I managed to get here without the bottom half of me covered in mud.
Overall though, it is a good day. We have all made it to school safely, and there is only one more day left in this week. We don't have a terribly busy weekend happening, and next week should be fairly uneventful as well. And just in case you didn't know, today is National Margarita Day! Ours are frozen in our freezer! 😁😁
