Yesterday was a pretty uneventful day. It seemed as if Tom and I spent the whole day getting ready to do something but never actually getting around to it–still can’t think of what that something was!

Chris came home and we decided to cook two dinners–one for that night and one to have for the rest of the week–we agreed upon spaghetti and shepherd’s pie. Busily engrossed in food prep, we both suddenly realized that, for a moment, we had forgotten that we had Tom. He was sound asleep in the bedroom and we were working away until we heard a familiar squawk. I put him in his bouncer and pulled up a chair in the kitchen as Chris finished up. Tom spent a full 10-minutes fascinated by a bizarre mouse/bear hybrid thingy that dangles down from his bouncer. At first, he just watched it and then he started pounding away at it like he was Rocky going to town on Apollo Creed. I commented on how nice and simple a life it must be that you can busy yourself by watching a distorted cartoon bear for 10 minutes, to which Chris kindly pointed out that I had manged to occupy myself for the past 10 minutes watching a mini-human watching a scary plastic bear.

The uneventful day turned into a surreal night–neighbors having screaming matches on their front porch; Chris and Tom getting into a tussle that resulted in both of them needing a bath (say no more); and me caught in the middle trying to decide which event was more entertaining! I think I learned that you don’t mess with Trish and you certainly don’t mess with Tom.

Today, Trish, Sandy and I took Tom, Jack and Mickey for a walk. I was seriously deluded if I thought I could manage all three of them (Jack, Mickey and Tom) by myself. I think I’ll have to take one doggie at a time–but that will increase the amount of walking I’m doing which is a good thing.
