May 5, 1999 I stayed up late last night gossiping with V---. Her ex-boyfriend got married a few weekends ago and a girlfriend of hers who went to the wedding called and told her what it was like, and all the business and legal trouble the guy has gotten himself into. This was the guy V--- wanted to marry, have children with, and be with until death. After hearing of his business dealings that may land him in a Federal prison, and the fact she uncovered multiple lies and half-truths he told her, she is happy that he ended the relationship. My life is feeling quite boring right now, compared to my friends' lives. One girlfriend is preparing for her wedding, one trying to have a baby, and the another just had a baby. I should enjoy these calm moments in my life, sit back and relax. I usually am so rapped up in one thing or another I don't leave out time to for me, or the time to finish long term projects. I still have a piece of furniture to refinish in the garage before we move. I also need to pack and price stuff for a moving sale. The list of things to do, outside of parenting, pottery and being a wife is long. I made a very poor decision this past winter that is slapping me in the face every time I turn around. For my daughter's birthday we bought her a black lab puppy. She was sweet and easy to house break, but now she is huge, wild, and bites. Wild Child is afraid of her. Indigo, the lab, is just 5 months old, and is beautiful but she is difficult to take care of. She is so hyper and jumps on you almost knocking you down, and bites and nips. It is very irritating. Jeff is afraid that she is going to ruin the new house and yard and we have discussed giving her away, even though we spent $250 on her and have spent about $200 in vet bills thus far. I really want to spend time with this pet because I know she needs more time with us as a family, but she is so wild and unruly that I can't stand to be with her more then 15 minutes. She stays outside, and Wild Child will not go into the back yard because of this dog. Sometimes I think it would best if we gave her away for all of us involved, but the Vet says we should give her more time, take her to obedience training and have her neutered. He assures us that by this time next year we will have a calmer, gentler dog. We can't decide what to do with her, but I plan on having her fixed at the end of the month, and there is an obedience class that starts June 14th. I have pottery tonight and my sister is bringing her two heathens with her. She called me yesterday and said she was going to be going early and taking both boys. I was shocked to say the least. She takes advantage of our instructor's good nature by bringing one or both boys the last few lessons. After the salon incident I told Jeff that I would be arriving later to pottery class because I really do not care to see her disobedient heathens. The last time she brought the little demon child, who is 4, to class he stared at me while I was on the wheel and babbled on about Rug Rats. I couldn't concentrate at all. He also got into my clay and broke something of our instructors. Every other word out of my sister's mouth was "No" and "I'm going to beat you" and "Don't touch that". That child listens like a wall.
