Guys...I don't know how to put pictures on my blog. I need serious help with this. I don't take a lot of pictures anyway, but I would like to put pictures of the house and Jimmy and I and my sweet, adorable, loving little puppy Rex on the blog. Maybe someday...
Speaking of Rex, he's been at Jimmy's in Hot Springs since Tuesday. When the kids left our place here in Little Rock on Tuesday, McKenzie told me 'I'm taking your dog with me!' And she did. I allowed it, though. But I miss him. I'm not sure if I can go several days without him again. He's a part of me. I love him so much. I miss taking him on walks and giving him puppy massages. And I miss him cuddling up to me in bed or on the couch. I NEED HIM BACK! Jimmy is on his way to Hot Springs right now, and I asked him to bring back my baby. So I'll get him tonight. Yay!

I don't always love titling my entries in this so called 'blog'. Sometimes I just don't want to. Sometimes there isn't anything I want to call it.
This morning while leaving the house I forgot my snacks and lunch on the counter. So there are now two luke ward Slim Fast strawberry drinks and one not so frozen anymore frozen Healthy Choice pizza. Which tastes amazing. But by now awful. I am so sad that I did this. Sometimes I am so busy here at the office that I don't have time to go out to lunch and that's why I bring stuff. And sometimes I don't even have lots of time to actually eat, so that's why I do the Slim Fast. And I HATE wasting things. I hate that the pizza is now unedible. I went to the airport the other day to pick up a friend and put a quarter in the meter (for 15 minutes of parking time). Well it turned out it didn't take any longer than 2 minutes. I literally had a sick feeling in my stomach for a few minutes about that wasted quarter. You see, when I parked there was still 4 minutes left on the meter from the previous user...I hate that I lost that quarter. I'm not cheap, don't get the wrong idea. I just hate wasting. I'm feeling a little anxious just thinking about the quarter actually.
Speaking of the airport...Jimmy is coming home today! He and the kids have been in Florida for the past several days. I'm glad he's able to have time with the kids, but I miss him very much when he's gone. Another reason I'm glad he's coming home...I've had Murphy (his miniature dachshund) for the time he's been gone. It's hard being a single mom to two little puppies. I'm not crazy about Murphy. I've discovered that I'm not really a dog person. I'm a Rex person. I just like the one dog. It's hard to get attached to another dog when the one I have is so super awesome. But they're great friends and they love being together. So it's been good for Rex. But hard for me. Murphy is not trained on a leash, and this poses a problem because Rex is. It's difficult to walk a dog when they won't walk. I mean, I put her collar and leash on her and that's her cue to stay still, and not walk. And so I drag her, because I think that eventually she'll get tired of it and catch on. No. She just stumbles along resisting the whole way. Which leads me to say bad bad words. So I'm not messing with it anymore. I'll put her out the back door, and if she doesn't come back, then I'll look for her for a little while. Unfortunately, she always comes back. I know this sounds so cruel, but it's the way I feel. I can't fight my honest feelings.

Sleepy
I am very tired right now. I'm usually not one to complain about it, but I'm really really sleepy.
On New Years Eve I met Jimmy's kids. Kaylee, Tristan and McKenzie. They are all ridiculously beautiful. I'm not surprised, considering who their father is! They are all so polite too. The little ones (Tristan is 7, McKenzie is 3) say please and thank you all the time. And Kaylee, who is 12, calls me 'ma'am', which I'm not really fond of, but it is polite. The little ones took to me pretty well, but Kaylee is not in love with me. She started playing a song on her IPod, the Avril one that says 'I don't like your girlfriend'. I'm not sure if she meant it, or just liked the song. Maybe both. It didn't hurt my feelings, because she's 12 and I expected it. It did surprise me, though. She did it while her dad was in the other room, sneaky girl. When I was leaving McKenzie asked why I couldn't stay the night, and asked if Rex could stay instead, because she felt something of mine should stay at the house. It might as well be the puppy she loves. I told her we'd have to ask her dad, and when he walked into the room she said, 'Her said Res could stay'. Which I didn't, but I kind of did. I like how she says Rex's name wrong, because she can't say the 'x' yet. She is precious. It was a really good night.
I feel a little empty without Rex with me. Last night on my way to Little Rock (Jimmy's kids live in Hot Springs, at our place there, and I'm in Little Rock. We'll all be together someday, but for now this is working really well) I kept turning around to check on Rex in the back seat. He wasn't there, obvoiusly. It's just a habit for me to check on him while we're in transit! I love him so much. I feel like such a nerd declaring my love for a little black dog, but it is true. He's my little boy.
