Not sure why I'm up so late tonight, I'm dog tired. I was letting the dogs out and I found a little visitor on the patio. (excuse the bright green garden hose).
Cute, huh? He/She is an american toad. Yes, I'm a nerd and looked it up on the web. I keep seeing them all over my yard. It was raining tonight, so I'm sure there are tons out there. The dogs and the cat chase them around. Quite entertaining. Although, I am afraid they might hurt one, so they aren't allowed to get aggressive. Only look and when they hop, the jump back. Too funny.
Only a matter of days until Chris is home! We are excited and can't wait to put this year behind us. It was hell for us both. Him in Korea, Courtney and I at his mom's for 9 months. It's nice to be in my own home, but missing him sucks, for lack of better words.
Courtney is having a hard time with school. She hates going because she doesn't know anyone. I wish I could make it better. She is shy at times and doesn't want to go up and talk to people. I told her that is the only way to make friends is to talk. But, who am I to really give this advice? I am one of the shyest people around. I can't just go up to people and talk and expect to make friends. I hate that she is like me in this way. I would love for her to be more outgoing and talk to anyone... .like her father. It breaks my heart that she is so miserable. I hope she talks to someone tomorrow. She needs a good friend.
*thought for the day*
Try not to judge, although we judge because we feel we are being judged.
