When life gets tough, the tough get a puppy

My life is totally crazy between two kids, two dogs, and the cat. I was feeling overwhelmed with the house, the kids, homeschooling, bills, writing, and everything else; so I adopted a puppy. Yes, too much on the plate so I added something new. Perhaps I am a little crazy, but he sure is cute. See for yourself.

Now who could turn away a cute little face like that? My son named the new puppy Shimmer. So now we have a house full, or do we?

Life Interrupts

I dream of being a writer. I love to make jewelry. At times, I wish I could pursue those dreams fulltime, but life gets in the way. I hate to admit I haven’t read anything this week and I haven’t written much. The weather is beautiful. Spring finally came, and I adopted a new puppy for the kids. He is cute as can be and all kinds of trouble. So, what do you do when the non-potty-trained puppy screams every time you try to put him in his crate?


I need to get back to writing, cleaning, and chasing children and animals. If anyone is good at training dogs, I could use all of the advice I can get :)
