The Inevitable.

     Colleen was here over the weekend. We had an enjoyable time together despite the fact that I had an incredible amount of homework due by Monday morning. Thankfully she understood because she's been there, done that not long ago herself, as an older student with teenagers still at home. We managed to make it to the movies one night and neither one of us liked the show even though it was rated into the 80s and 90s by Rotten Tomatoes.

     While Colleen was here, the inevitable happened, or more like one of my worst nightmares. Throughout my life I've always been sensitive about borrowing other people's things, or over-extending a stay, or taking someone else's generosity for granted. And then it happened, I let my guard down; not a good thing to do!! A seemingly innocent situation turned sour very fast. And then it dawned on me, because of what was said, hidden grudges were lurking in the dark behind closed doors. Do not let your guard down again, Lynne.

     The boys and I are babysitting Nathan's dog, Mortimer. He's definitely not the most obedient dog in the world, but he's also not too much trouble, but it reminds me that I don't like worrying about animals peeing in the house so it's unlikely we will be getting our own dog anytime soon. Mortimer follows me around, every step I take, and I allow him to sleep on my bed at night, but while the boys were here alone with him yesterday, he peed on my couch, and then on the tile. When Nathan dropped Mortimer off he said he never pees in the house, but then he peed on our floor while Nathan was still here.  *scream!*
