Muddy walks


Pup: Wagging his tail so hard and his eyes are like a ticker reading PLEASE momma, take a walk.

Me: Ohhhhh it’s a beautiful warm day, let’s check out that new park I found the other day!!

Lovely ride with the windows down & top out of the Jeep….. Arrive at the new to us, park. We march about, happy to be outside. There is a gravel trail, yeah!!! Utt oh, gravel trail turns into mulch, okay not bad. Why is the mulch now pine needles??? OHHHH NO!!!!! Pine needles now gone – SWAMP! Total and utter SWAMP!! Black mud, foamy water is now the replacing the perfect trail.

Pup: Looks back at me wide eyed, and his eyes seem to say HELLLLLZ YEA!! Explodes into a full sprint.
Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Try’s to remind pup that he is to walk not, take off like a he’s on speeders and forgotten his listening ears at home.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Asks pup, now do you think this is the best use of our walk time? DO you really think I want to touch that ikky stuff?

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why are you even asking a fuzzball what he is think? You really need to get a grip on his listing skills and punish him.

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* DO YOU EVEN HAVE LISTENING EARS PUP????   !@#$%^&

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote.  “When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing!”

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, tossed glitter along the way singing – Glitter on Pup, Glitter on!! Let us run, splash and play!! We both wash and seriously - who cares????

WOW, was that fun. Each day I feel a little better about who I am. I have decided bitter is not better. I still hold board meetings with all my personalities (sometimes they are multi times a day) But, I am embracing the idea of Enjoy the hand you are dealt. If there is mud play in it. If there is water STOMP in it. Laugh until you cannot breathe. Enjoy each moment – we literally will not have it again ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks for the read! XOXO
