Farmer Deb has a near death experience (so she thinks!)

It took me from when we got home at 7 on Saturday night, until Tuesday night around 5, to fall in love. I’m not gonna lie, it was rough. There was a lot going against me. 8 hour drive to Ohio, in mist and fog, from 44 and raining to Sunny and 81, next day 8 hour drive back, same situation reversed, throw in a storm with blinding rain, and holding the new puppy. (For those that don’t math, that's 36 hours just me and my man: 16 in the car together, and another 20 just hanging out), Daylight savings time happened the night we were gone, so I not only didn’t know what time it was, I was in a time warp, AND I lost an hour. And now we have to take care of this hound!
Worst of all is you have to do all this bending down and crawling around the floor stuff, while you’re doing it. That is a whole 'nother level of torture. The farm is ramping up with lots to do, not to mention every animal is proudly starting to wear their stupid hat, and having a puppy wander in and out of my feet, is a death defying act that I do not want on repeat.
My house is a catastrophe, I have no clean clothes, I wore pants today that should have been sent to Good Will, many cookies ago, there was a very chunky spider in the bathroom sink this morning that addressed me by name, and then I babysat the grandkids for an hour which halted any progress. (♥ by choice!)
Sunday night I was exhausted, I showered and was asleep by 7. The next morning I looked like a wild homeless person, compliments of lack of sleep, and going to bed with wet hair.
But tonight when we (=same spouse, just hanging out again,) were sitting outside in the sun watching Moose prance around and investigate the world, while he tries SO hard to be his bravest self, I realized I survived, and - OMG IM IN LOVE!! He is the cutest, sweetest, smartest, dumb little bundle of joy, and I am so happy he’s ours!!…. Well its been at least an hour now, so lets not jinx it. 😋😊
