About Me

Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

Well, I'm 42 and incredibly lucky - I'm married to my best friend. Also in my life are two spoiled mutts,two younger brothers that turned out great despite our childhood battles, two great sister-in-laws, four fantastic nieces, two fun nephews, and the requisite two parents, both of whom spoil me dreadfully. I fill my time with work, playing with 'the boys' (dogs), avoiding housework, reading everything I can lay my hands on, some gardening, some minor home repairs, photographing everything that doesn't manage to escape me, and hanging out with friends and their families.

"da Boys" holding the bed down, as usual"

Midas in the midst of chaos - what a surprise! I can't blame this chaos on him as I created most of it...(sigh)

It used to seem like such a BIG bed too...

Mr. T, (aka T-Whilliker) poised for action

Squeezing into his favorite chair

Sleeping beauty!

T is SO sleepy - if only I had just settled down so he could catch up on his napping!

Midas - entertaining himself...

Our weather turned cooler last week and the boys gained a huge burst of energy. Last Thursday night, Midas couldn't settle down. He wasn't being difficult by staying up playing with T or being destructive, but he was restless, going from place to place every 15 or 20 minutes.

After I'd been asleep for about an hour a strange noise woke me up. I was sleeping so well and was so relaxed that I fought waking up, but finally realized I just HAD to know what was going on. I sat up, flipped on the light and looked over to see Midas, just as he re-emerged from my dresser drawer with my pajamas dangling from his mouth. At his feet was a small pile of the clothing he'd already neatly removed.

As I gaped, he glared and I could see his thoughts as clearly as if he could speak. "WHAT?! I'm not making noise, I'm not tearing them up... and I'm BORED..." LOL What to do?
