Gus and I went dog hunting today. Or should I say schnauzer hunting? He was so excited looking at all the dogs. I swear, if he could, he would have brought them all home. Heck, I would have brought them all home. Granted, Linds would have killed me, but that's another story.

We finally settled on one he liked, a handsome black and  silver male. I ( Read more... )

Ok, so this past week has been extremely hectic and I am ready to pull out all of my hair. Only this time it's not caused from curious children, but rather puerile people who are supposed to be brilliant among the working class. Apparently, the college degree doesn't mean as much as it used to.

I found a building for the Pittsburgh branch of my ( Read more... )

Ok, so I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me. I seem to be picking fights with anyone and everyone. Last night, I reamed Linds and then got into it with Justin. And today..well, today I lashed out at Ben and said some pretty hateful things. *sigh ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm in the dog house....literally. Linds is royally pissed at me. All because I promised Gus that we would get him a puppy when we moved back to the Pitts. I mean the kid has had enough breaks (no pun intended.) and I think he's responsible enough to help out with an animal. Linds is just afraid that one of the kids will get hurt. She didn't ( Read more... )

We found a house! We found a house! We found a house! WE FOUND A HOUSE!!! *does weird ass happy dance around house in Canada ( Read more... )

So I am going out of my mind with frustration. JR absolutely insists on "helping" me pack up boxes. Since Gus isn't around to keep her occupied, whatever I'm doing is more interesting. At this rate, we'll be back in the Pitts by next summer ( Read more... )

Last night Linds and I had to rush Gus to the hospital after he lost conciousness. Turns out he had a ruptured spleen. When I asked the doctors how he could have gotten that, they said it often occurs when someone is in a car accident, gets a sports injury or has been beaten. Well, I knew that it hadn't been the first two. But I had my strong ( Read more... )

Has anyone ever tried packing up boxes with a crawlee in the house??? Do you know how hard it is to pack up boxes to just have an 8 month old unpack them?!?!? Apparently, JR doesn't want us to move...either that or she has found just how entertaining packing peanuts can be. So between making sure she's not choking, trying to put things BACK into ( Read more... )

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life ( Read more... )

Well, it looks like we are moving back to the Pitts. Linds will open up her new gallery and I'll....well, I'll help Scheel open up the new firm in NY and then I'm no longer going to practice law. Instead, I will stay home with the kids while Linds goes out to be brilliant ( Read more... )
