Friday Confessional

Happy Friday y'all!

Let's just cut to the chase.

I confess... that I am the saddest girl in the world.
I confess... that I love my dog Youri very much. I adopted him from a rescue just over a year ago.
I confess... that when I adopted him, I knew he had some health and behavioral problems.
I confess... that he has on occasion bitten me once or twice.
I confess... that after having him a year, I thought we were making some real progress in the behavioral area.
So yesterday when he not only bit me but laid into my hand like he was trying to take my thumb off, I confess I was shocked. He has never done that before.
In his defense, he was disturbed that a strange man was outside spraying the house for termites. I was trying to keep him from attacking the poor man.
I confess... that I cried like a 5 year old girl that got a boo boo on the playground.
I confess... that as much as my bloody, swollen thumb hurt, I was crying more because my feelings were hurt.
I confess... that I didn't cry in front of the termite guy.
I confess... that I just can't believe that this little face who always seems to love his mommy so much...

...could bite me like that.
I confess... that I don't care who thinks this is ridiculous.
I confess... that I feel a little ridiculous.
I confess... that I feel better now that it's all out in the open.
Confession is good for the soul. Just do it and link up HERE.

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday y'all!

Here's what I'm thankful for on this beautiful day!

I'm thankful for hot showers! After all the painting and cleaning I've been doing to my house this week, a hot shower at night is the best thing in the world.

I'm thankful for a short work week this week.

I'm thankful that my family got home safely from their cruise and had a great time!

I'm thankful that my mom got to swim with the dolphins! My mom had been looking forward to swimming with the dolphins ever since she started planning the cruise. When they got to the place with the dolphins the group was taking turns, and they could hear a thunder storm in the distance getting closer and closer. My mom was afraid that it might start storming, and she wouldn't get to swim with them. But the storm held out long enough for her to get her turn :)

I'm thankful that my parents' cat came home! When they came home from the cruise our outdoor cat, Muffin, was missing for a couple of days, and they were very upset. She found her way home yesterday though and has been getting the royal treatment :) I'm so glad she came home. We've had her for 12 years so it wouldn't be home without her!

I'm thankful for the great weekend my husband and I got to spend together this past weekend! It was so nice to be able to spend time together just having fun!

I'm thankful that my husband cooked dinner last night so that I could finish working on the dining room.

I'm thankful that I live close enough to my family that they can come up to see me this weekend for my birthday!

I'm thankful that I can talk to my mom on the phone again! I normally talk to her everyday so it was tough while she was on the cruise :)

I'm thankful that Youri had a good check up at the vet and is completely healthy!

I'm thankful that fruit has a zero points value for Weight Watchers. I don't know what I'd do if they didn't!

I'm thankful for my sweet husband who always loves me no matter what.

What are you thankful for this week?
