Things are getting extremely busy around these parts... I think I can breathe again come July. We are just gearing up for lots of travel - which has us all on edge just a smidge. At the moment both my dog and my husband are bounding up and down the stairs nonstop, but for very different reasons.
Out of my intense guilt of sending Lola off for weeks at a time between now and the first of July, I have been indulging her every whim. She leaves tomorrow morning for the first round - and she has already exhausted 2 new toys along with an extra helping at dinner. Now, before bed, we are having one last hurrah and are playing "find the treats" - sure to be her absolute favorite. It is quite simple... I hide some treats around the house and she runs around like a crazy dog looking for them all for about 30 minutes. Having 3 floors to cover keeps her very busy! Got to love these narrow Dutch houses for something.
My husband, however, is not playing "find the treats" but instead one of his own favorite games... "install the gadgets" - tonight being a Sonos sound system. Since this is our last quiet night at home before madness ensues, this job must be completed immediately - or wait a few weeks - which would absolutely kill my husband. The thought of this new system staying in boxes for weeks on end would keep the man up at night - honestly. Installation also requires him to be on all 3 floors at different times along with the dog. There is a bit of a traffic jam on the stairs at the moment.
And what have I been doing to keep myself busy during all of this? The urge for organization bit me hard this morning and the pantry, refrigerator, and bathroom cabinets have all been scrubbed and organized accordingly. Just a little taste of our brand of crazy for you.
