Life as a Daughter & A Dog Mom

What a busy day! My life is certainly filled to the brim these days! This week was a rare twist for the blog; this is the first time I have ever featured two posts in one week. I hope everybody enjoyed them. How can I describe life? Blessed and super busy. I am so tired, and should probably be asleep right now, but I just want to say how much I am thankful for. One question I would love to ask my old self is: how on Earth did you ever get so bored?! I'm never bored, and with Ollie here during the day, I am never lonely. I love my house and there is always so much to do! Late nights are always a good thinking and writing time for me. I really am so blessed. I am so glad I got over needing excitement in my day, because the most exciting thing now to me is when I am getting ready for bed. I have become boring and I love it!

I am so happy that my mom is doing so well. Lupus is really scary. I am so thankful to the Lord for helping her to go into a remission of sorts; of course it's never going to go away and is still causing an issue with her skin, but I am so thankful that she is not physically sick anymore. I love her so very much, and it killed me to see her so sick; 2014 was a bad year on all accounts. 2015 started out rocky but ended up great, and 2016 has been amazing so far. The Lord has put both of us in such a great place. Mom is well, and even though I'm tired most of the time, I am completely fulfilled and happier than ever. I think the tiredness is supposed to last. I've heard that is common in adulthood. Yay! I think...

I love housework. I really do. My favorite thing to do is laundry. I'm weird and I love to smell the laundry detergent pods and the dryer sheets. The little things in life are what is important. I love coffee. I love YouTube videos. I am enjoying listening to the rain as I type. I can't wait until it gets cooler so  I can wear my fall clothes. I'm actually sick of short sleeve shirts and shorts at this point, which is odd for me because I love summer; I'm just sick of the heat. 

I dealt with a depressed dog today. Ollie dearly loves my mom and he considers her his mommy too. The morning started off rather differently, and he acted so weird all day. He is a creature of habit. He kept pouting and clung to me at times. He's never like that with me;  he only cuddles with Mom.  He usually stays to himself unless I'm eating food or he wants outside; his hang out spot during the day is under my Mom's bed. I  happily welcomed the attention, and we shared pizza for lunch today. I love my Ollie. He is a handful at times, but I love being a dog mom. Ollie is nearly 6 years old, and understands so much...it's scary sometimes. I have had fun watching him grow. 

My post tonight was short, but I just wanted to pop in tonight and say hello! I will be back on the blog Tuesday. I have one topic in mind, and will be doing some topic hunting for future posts this weekend. Thank you for reading! Good night!

Throwback Tuesday: The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

 There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past ...
