real talk: life isn’t always pretty

Happy Friday everyone!

Challenges aplenty for everyone at our house this week.

Boy am I glad to see the weekend. This week has been a doozy in more ways than one. For starters, Dane has been away on quick a “work trip” which would normally have been a swift walk in the park compared to what we went through last fall. Except of course things don’t always go as planned, namely not being able to talk to each other.

Or the fact that within 2 hours of him leaving, Judy shit all over her crate and rolled in it while I was going to/from the airport. It should be noted that she was not sick, just pissed off.

Or how my couch is currently covered in sheets, because I’m terrified of there being another crate incident.

Or how I typically complain about Dane not helping out around the house enough and without him here, I’m even more overwhelmed. **Note to self: He does more than I realize.

Or the organization, addressing, stamping and sending of over 100 wedding invitations.

OR quite possibly my greatest moment of psychosis yet, when I opened my door on Wednesday morning to find Judy greeting me. Immediately, I thought someone had broken in and set her free. Turns out, girlfriend is a pro at letting herself in and out of her crate now.

I get it, some women out there have it far worse than me, but if I can’t bitch here, then where can I, right? It’s been one of those weeks–even someone breathing loudly is going to annoy me.

Sometimes I feel like I read a lot of blogs where everyone posts Pinterest-perfect photos with properly posed food, babies and activities. You know what my feed would look like this week if I had posted my life?

A sink full of dishes, an empty refrigerator, piles of dog feces, an unmade bed, wedding invitations strewn all over my dining room table, a dog that runs circles around my feet and barks at her shadow and me…who has worn the same sports bra and workout shorts all week. Not even Lo-Fi is making any of that look good.
What’s worse? I FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. Like I’m some sort of Stepford Wife that is supposed to have this fake internet life. I guess the cat’s out of the proverbial bag–my life can be ugly sometimes!

Do you ever feel this way? Here’s to a cheerful weekend of relaxation for everyone 🙂
