Wow....
Last night something happened that I THOUGHT was a ways off yet. Last night our oldest daughter's boyfriend drove down to our house at 9pm and asked Cahuna and myself if he had our permission/blessing to marry our oldest daughter.
HOLY SHIT!!
We're there? Already? (nice that he asked btw - sweet and old fashioned and well....he scored points) I can't believe my oldest is old enough to get married. Jeepers where did time go???? I think I spent half the kids younger years wishing them older and now I want to put on the brakes!
About boyfriend coming down...we've known for a while that they were talking about getting married next spring and so it wasn't a huge surprise. They aren't engaged yet and so we've been sworn to secrecy. But I'm a blabbermouth and so here I am back blabbing on Xanga. I'm excited about the wedding, but mostly this shocked me with how quickly the years have flown by.
I'm not going to get over this quickly so you're now forewarned that this might be an ongoing thing for a while.
My poor Bernese Mountain Dog got neutered today. Neutered and he had a little hernia fixed. But because he's a licker he's wearing a cone. The cone of shame. And poor guy is bonking into walls, tables, falling down stairs....it's like he's completely hammered. But he keeps giving me a look with his sad sad puppy dog eyes that says 'why you do this to me?' . Sorry man, I really am:(
Cahuna is finally back up north working. It's a very good thing. I'm so used to him being away that having had him home so much over the past 9 months just about did me in. I kept fantasizing about having my clean, tidy, uncluttered, nice smelling home back. Cahuna's a hoarder and a bit of a pig. When he's up north he has someone make his bed, clean his room, his bathroom, make his food, do his dishes etc. He may even have someone wipe his ass....I'm not sure. So when he's home, he forgets that I never graduated from MAID school and continues to act like he has his own personal cleaning crew. That combined with his hoarding does not a good room mate make.
This poor dog. Whack. Whomp. Smack. Bonk.
A wedding. Wow. lol c-r-a-z-y. She'll be a nurse, he'll be a welder/fireman. They should be fine and have a nice long happy marriage. I could be a grandma in a few years! lol I am looking FORWARD to that. I like kids. I like the idea of spending time playing with them but not HAVING them 24/7. Kind of like a husband. I like the idea of having one around, just not 24/7.
I feel like I'm coming out of a very long fog. Not just from the past year, but one that was a long time in the making. Maybe it's cuz I finally have time to think and rest and enjoy life. Not sure. I feel better about things though. Better than I've felt in years. Many many years. I wouldn't say I was depressed. More....exhausted. Spent. Overwhelmed. I'm feeling less like that lately.
We'll see how this wedding goes:) hopefully it's not a gong show. I may have spoken too soon about feeling less overwhelmed lol
