Laughing Thyme Farm: Living the Dream

It’s one of those hair-pulling-out days.  The kids are fighting or whining or doing both subsequently.  Liam’s in a grouchy mood and throwing fits.  I’m in a grouchy mood and feel like throwing one too. 

The stupid dog dug up the rows of fall/winter garden that we worked so hard on last Sunday.  Plus she keeps going into the neighbor’s yard, following neighborhood kids to their houses, and chasing cars.  So I’m determined that she is going to have to be tied up.  At first I hated to do for her sake, because she’s a country dog and enjoys her freedom.  But she has been abusing that freedom.  NOW I hate tying her up because she has been barking incessantly for 3 hours straight since I tied her up.  PLUS, I’ve had to untangle her from the trees and shrubbery TWICE because she is too ignorant to go BACK the other way she came from. 

Another dog annoyance is the fact that when we got Daisy from the pound in another county they said that the voucher for the “fixing” of Daisy would be good in the county we live in.  So we get to the time where it is now necessary to “fix” Daisy and Maury County refuses to do it.  So apparently we have to drive over an hour to the county where we got her to get the job done.  If we had known that was the case, we probably wouldn’t have gotten her in the first place.  Sigh. 

Anyway, I’m hoping that today gets better.  I don’t like being stressed out.  And trust me, no one likes to be around me when I am…..
