We still have puppies. We are actually down to two beautiful,brindled, wonderful puppies. Puppies are so much like babies, they are so much cuter when you know they belong to someone else. With the cold weather it is very difficult to start training them. But slowly and surely we are working on it. Working on finding homes for these last 2 girls. Any takers?
Atlas came home from work two nights ago in a rotten mood. He walked in the door grumpy and it didnt get much better. He called me yesterday AM to apoligize for his foul mood. I told him I understand that he doesn't feel good and that his work day did not go as well as planned. It was still nice that he called to apoligize. Halfway through the morning he called to tell me he was going to the ER. He has been having gut issues for the past ... 3 weeks or so and has finally gotten over the idea that it is embarressing and he went. Atlas works about an hour and a half away from our home and with the amount of snow we have been having it would probably take me damn near 3 hours to get there. So I wanted him to come home and go to the ER by our hosue but he said he couldn't wait that long and went to the one by his work. I was frustrated because I wanted to know what was going on, I wanted to be there for him, I wanted to support him. Oh well... They perscribed him some medicine and made him an appointment with a specialist and sent him on his way. Needless to say, he is not feeling any better, and in my opinion is a little worse off than when he went, only now he is no longer dehydrated.
This brings me to my word of the day, Priority... What is your top priority? I have a pretty clear cut veiw of what mine are and I treat them accordingly. First and foremost, my children top the list. Then Atlas, and our marriage,our relationship. Next is my Nuclear family, mother,sisters,father,grandparents (I have never had to make choices between Atlas and my family so I feel that they may be interchangable pending the circumstances). Next my job,and career ( I know it seems like I am not employed because I say I am going to school, but at this point in time going to school is my job and I get paid very well to do it. Makes some people kind of jealous that I am getting paid to attend college.)I think that this point things get a little blurrly, priorities mingle, mix and can be interchanged depending on mood or circumstance but the top spots are sketched pretty much in stone. So, the reason this is my word today is because I feel like maybe Atlas has his priorities... mixed? Or maybe as a woman I just don't understand his reasoning behind some things.
As mentioned above Atlas is ill, we have about 6 inches of new snow on the ground most of the schools are delayed or cancled and Atlas feels that it is imperative for him to trek the hour and a half, possibly longer do to road conditions to work, when I feel he would be better suited staying home today.
So what are your top priorities? What would it take to change them?
