Silence is Golden

Published by admin under Pandemonium on June 14, 2010

It seemed like almost every morning (since we’ve gotten Lilo her ID tag & put her rabies tag on her collar) at the early hours of 5-6 a.m. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Lilo’s clanking kennel as she goes off like a little alarm that says “take me out…I’VE GOT TO PEE!”. Oh, and she wines too. I understand that. It’s understandable. I mean the first thing I’ve usually got to do in the morning is go to the bathroom too so I know how she feels. However what I don’t understand is why when I take her out of the kennel (and I respond immediately) she’s got to go all spastic pug on me. I really do not understand this. She acts like she hasn’t seen me in ages, and needless to say she continues to sound the alarm with her blasted clanking tags on her collar. This has resulted in me coming back inside after letting her out to two little children, who should be sleeping, waiting for me at the door.

Do you know what it’s like spending a day with TWO children who wake up way earlier than they should all day?? IF you don’t know let me clue you in….there is weeping and gnashing of teeth all damn day long. I hit a point where I had been pop’n Excedrin Migraine almost every day. Not good. Matthew and I were reeling for a solution. I’m sure there were days he didn’t even want to come home haha.

Well this weekend we went on a crusade to find something to silence our lil pug alarm, and were fortunate enough to have been fruitful. We found just the thing to shut it up. The best part is they were wonderfully inexpensive. AS SOON AS we got home we put  on the tag silencers, and were like “You hear that? That’s the sound of silence!**insert crazy maniacal laughter**”.

This morning I learned the value of silence. Silence is Golden. My children slept until 8:45…just in time to eat breakfast before watching Sesame St. Those were 1 1/2 blissful hours of extra sleep I got. That and there were minimal tantrums so far today. Now I can look at the pug again without wanting to shake her…..just kidding. Wouldn’t want to give her shaken pug syndrome or anything…after-all she’s already retarded enough 0_0.

Shit

Ok. I’m really pissed off about this.

I went to take Lilo out to go to the bathroom this morning only to step in dog shit….ON MY PATIO. We have a baby gate up to close off the patio too so someone had to go around the gate to get up there. SO It couldn’t have been a stray just take’n a dump.

This is one of the many reasons why I hate living in an apartment complex, and makes me cringe at the thought that I HAVE to resign a lease with them. It makes me leery too because I have children, and they play on that patio….their toys are out there. It just really bugs me. I know they can’t do anything about it, but I called the apartment complex and let them know. They were trying to be sympathetic, but really they were just like “what do you want us to do about it lady?”.

Dude I really hope it was just some kids pulling a prank, but if it was someone who was trying to leave me a message they really messed with the wrong person. If I ever catch them out there I’ll come out there and beat them with my shake weight….only thing heavy we have in our house. I’ve no idea why we don’t have a bat or something for intruders….oh wait I have a mini armory, never mind.

Well I guess I should stop blogging and go clean it all up. My poor flip flops. Thankful I didn’t get any on me otherwise I would have thrown a huge bitch fit.
