Writing again

I have now taken what is officially the LONGEST break from this journal I have even taken from anything.  Actually I'm just being dramatic, I stayed away from church a lot longer...

Man, there is so incredibly much to write about, I don't think I'll do it.  Maybe I'll just start small and go from there.  Like my daughter right now, for example, singing to High School Torture Musical on the Wii.  I assume this will continue until her grade gets higher than a "C", which she keeps failing at because she's too late with the lyrics.  In trying to be gentle, I told her a few times "I hear an echo", but she just ignores me and continues to torture us.  The dogs, now not as happy to be indoors as they thought they would be, have ceased all play and I kid you not are trying to cover their heads with their paws as they feign sleep.    

Speaking of dogs...  Malachi had to be put to sleep last August 1st.  A month shy of his birthday, but no fear, I've managed to replenish the brood and we're up to 4 dogs again.  Carmela, Benny, BamBam and Malachi Again (a teacup poodle, a long haired Dachshund mix, an Italian Greyhound and a German Shepherd).  Oh and Cleo the bunny, whose moods are so unstable and frightening (she kicks like Bruce Lee and bites like Mike Tyson) she must PMS weekly.  But when she does fall asleep in your arms she's the sweetest puffball you'll ever see.

Oh, goodness me... soooo much to say!  Gotta take a break though.  

Back later.
