I’m currently blogging from the great outdoors. I can’t tell you how good it feels to be sitting outside just chillaxin’ on my back porch!That’s my extra happy face… with absolutely no makeup on.

Now onto the point of this post:

Appreciation

Tomorrow is my parent’s 25th wedding anniversary. They are currently celebrating in the Florida Keys. They left on Sunday and I talked to them today–they’re having a ton of fun.

I’m home with Hannah. And four needy pets.

Things that happened this week (so far) that make me appreciate my parents:

• Our golden lab had diarrhea all over our basement. I almost puked cleaning it and then I realized I didn’t want to clean puke and diarrhea. Little did I know that I would be cleaning puke within a few hours.
• Our cat puked twice. Once in the kitchen and once in the hallway.
• The same cat peed on a bathroom rug. 
• I found a bug in my bed. I laid down and felt a tickle on my elbow… turns out it was a bug. 
• The fire alarm started going off because the battery died.
• Hannah forgot her math book so she couldn’t figure out her homework and I know nothing about math. 
• The “Check Engine” light in my truck appeared.
