The implication that having a kid means I can never again be interested in/train/love my dogs makes me insane. Also, the idea that because I have a kid I should never get to do anything dog related ever again (including going to the dog park with my child strapped to me and quietly behaving) makes me really f*cking mad.

I hate facebook so much sometimes.

I have been running on almost no sleep for the past two nights.

Today, just as I fall asleep, my roommate wakes me up to inform me that Eve is whining a lot and he doesn't know what her issue is. I let her out, give her water etc, everything seems fine so I put her in dog jail and go back to bed.

An hour later he wakes me up to tell me she's shat all over her cage.

She's pooped a few times since then. Something's obviously off and gave her liquid poop. I've been upping her food intake and I probably fed her too much.

I have to work tonight. I'm exhausted and I can't go back to sleep because I can't leave the dog alone and have to wake up to poop to clean up. I don't know what to do. I don't know what I'm going to do when I go to work tonight, I can't come home on breaks because I have almost no gas in my car. I can't ask for the night off because it's our heaviest night of work in the entire week.

I'm at my wits end. Seriously sitting at the computer just trying not to cry because I'm ****ing exhausted and can't do this ****. I already exist on a most likely harmful dose of caffeine every night because of my work schedule making it very difficult to sleep, so I have to take a high dose of melatonin and zzquil in order to fall asleep in this heat during the day and a high dose of caffeine to be awake and alert enough to perform well at work. I'm so tired from taking twice the sleep aids that I normally take, because I got home early today and decided to try to get a full days' worth of sleep in. And now I can't leave the ****ing dog alone or she'll explode **** all over my apartment.

And crying now. ****ing great.

All the DPs here in my area are no kids allowed under 16 I think. Some are staff enforced but most are patron enforced and people are quick to tell someone they can't do that.

On the flip side, most places geared for kids (school playgrounds etc ...) dogs sent allowed and I would be jumped on if I brought my (well behaved) dogs there.

I know some people have well behaved kids, just like some people have well behaved dogs but most do not. So I support the no kid rule at DPs just like I support s no dog rule at kid places.

Block all the people on FB! But seriously. You somehow balance three happy dogs and a happy baby and a full time job and and and... better than I balance work and two dogs. People suck.

For what it's worth, I really admire the way you balance all that you do, and you can tell that everyone in your house is adored. :)

No it's cool. Go ahead and destroy the equipment I lent to you and show no remorse.
Why do I do nice things for people?

I have a sad. I didn't know things got switched bc crazy few days.

I woke up at 6am, baked 2 trays of cookies and packed a 10ft tunnel, 3 jumps, laminated rally signs, sign holders, cones, fitpaws peanut & paw pods.

Halfway there I found out. I'm still going to practice, but now we're alone & I'm sad.

Why is getting help so hard? I know I need help,because I just can't handle everything, anymore.It's just that, I have this irrational fear of getting help.

So I was casually browsing homes for sale last night.... which is something I've done when I'm bored for like, my entire life... and I stumbled across this really cute house, with a nice fenced backyard and it looks really nice inside and it's not far from where I live now and not too far from work and it's right down the street from a lake and I drove by it today and the neighborhood is super cute and there is a Target close by (utmost importance) and I WANT IT. The price point looks really doable too buuuuut I don't have enough money to make the sort of down payment I probably should. So that's dumb. :(

And it is literally the ONLY house I can find in the areas I'd be willing to live, that is at an affordable price without being dumpy looking. Which makes me feel like even when I do get more money saved up, I won't be able to find a house like this. My mom as usual is being totally pessimistic about it, and my sister is like YEAH DO IT let me put you in contact with people! so that's very conflicting. I've been saving my money for a down payment for a house and I'm getting reallyyyy close to where I need to be, but seeing this house makes me want to move NOW.
