Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Almost a month has passed since my last entry from my world. My apologies. However, I've been busy. School has let out for the summer for starters. That means that the kids have been constantly underfoot. Plus, I mentioned earlier the acquisition of a new family puppy? The puggle has run amuck making my life extremely complicated. Writing on the computer has not been high up on my list of priorities lately.

I try to stay out of the way these days. The house is like a circus with everyone home for the summer. The tall kid never sleeps in his bed - he just moves from couch to couch to sleep. The short kid with glasses and the taller pretty girl are thick as thieves and I can't ever keep straight where they will sleep anymore. One night they are in her room, one night they are in his room, one night they are on couches . . . if the tall kid hasn't fallen asleep there yet. The short curly haired girl still sleeps in her bed, at least.

I have my routines and when summertime arrives, my routines are severely compromised. The televisions are now used for talk shows, cartoons, Barney, and video games. Heaven forbid I should ever try to watch Sportscenter or Animal Planet! My roommate's girlfriend takes naps during the time I like to take naps and in exactly the same place I like to sleep in the afternoons. About the only two folks in the house who aren't getting on my nerves and getting in my way are my roommate and the baby.

Oh, I'm sure I'll get over myself soon enough. Of course, as soon as I get used to the summer routine, school will start again. Sometimes I wonder why I keep all these people around . . . !
