Mommy Musings

Thank you so much for all the anniversary wishes yesterday!  I still can't believe it's been nine years .  It sure goes by in a flash. Skip and I kept the day pretty simple.  We exchanged cards in the morning and had a little in-home date night.  We ordered some Italian food to eat while the girls were in bed, and watched a movie.  It was a perfect, relaxing evening to celebrate our marriage! Today marks two years since we lost our sweet Braddock.  In light of all the death we have experienced in the past few years, it seems silly to still be upset over the loss of a dog, but I can't help it; I am.  He was my little boy and I still miss him every day. We had another really busy weekend this week.  We took Emmy into the city for the first time on Friday {separate post coming on that}. Saturday was spent at a pool party a guy Skip works with threw.  Girls were obsessed  with the pool, and were swimming for the entire few hours we were ther...

Today marks two months since my poor sweet Mr. B passed away.  Most days I don't let myself think about it {I'll take an ulcer over crying all day every day still}, but today I will.  I'll allow myself to cry and hurt as much as I want.  But I also want to remember him today, all the great times we had, all the silly things he used to do.... The weird places he would sleep How he always fell asleep with his tongue hanging out He always tried to climb on the table outside whenever he had an opportunity He was so laid back and would pretty much let us do anything to him How he was so afraid of storms More weird ways sleeping He CONSTANTLY used to get stuck in this basket His "seductive" pose as we called it Even though he was a dog, his ability to show how much he loved us His laid back nature with the girls How he used to love to lay on the back of the couch...except the time he leaned a little too far and fell right out the window! How he'd let us dress him up...

It's been one month since we lost our sweet boy.  In some ways it feels like just yesterday, and in some ways it feels like forever ago. I guess I can say the pain has lessened a fraction? I still cry every day, but it's not all day long, so that's progress. I still miss him all the time though...when I get up in the morning and when we go to bed...anytime I come home from being out...anytime we're outside....anytime I come into the house...after every meal time...when the girls go to bed...when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV...when Skip has to work all night...when Emmy asks about him. I've lived a month without him...so can someone please bring him home to me now?
