My summer vacation has begun and im doing just what i had planned! Lots of swimming, sunning, reading, ball games, spending time with DT & family, cooking, blog stalking, first grade planning, and just did some abs: that was not in the plan!
I've been Blog stalking today and two things stuck out to me that I want to disclose.
#1- people getting rid of their pets when they are now 'with child'. I agree with the blogger that brought it up- its AWFUL! I know things happen, and your dog might try to bite your babies head off, I understand the frustration in a case like that. But 'I don't have time' or 'things are different now' are NOT good excuses. This fires me up. I love my puppies, and I can barely stand the thought of boarding them while on vacation much less sending them off for good. They could continue to eat ALL my shoes and I still wouldn't send them away. Dogs don't decide 'they don't have time' to greet you at the door every time you come home and they don't refuse to lay right next to you when you're sad because 'things changed'. I am a little curious as to how my pups will behave when we bring a baby home, they are a bit rambunctious- but we will figure something out. I didn't decide to be their human mommy 'until we have a baby' or 'just until they destroy the back door, AGAIN.' I'll always have a place for them in my heart because I took them in to love and care for forever. (oh my gosh, let me go wipe away my mascara.. Just gets to me.)
#2- another tidbit that stuck out to me while reading www.allinmytwenties.blogspot.com: she was writing a letter to herself back at 17. Part of the letter was about having nice things and how it doesn't make you better than anyone else. She said 'sweetheart, your parents hard work and gifts make you fortunate, not better. Treat everyone with kindness, you have no idea what they may be battling'. Wow. Convicted. I'm not saying I'm rotten, completely self centered, and sans feelings, and i cant think of an example, but I KNOW I have clinched 'Louie' tight and hoped someone sees. Why would I want that? Why would I ever want to make someone feel inferior!? I want to impress my God almighty and doing things like that only breaks his heart. I pray that I will become more humble, less boastful, and also that I will stop wanting so much.
