Oh Crap! I'm late for work...just kidding.

So, I don't know what it is about this week but for some reason I seem to be missing/running late/completely forgetting about lessons. So while I stopped over at "grandma linda's" so Cash could visit her I said "mom I gotta check my e-mail really quickly..." and while I was FULLY expecting to be in at 5:30 today...guess what... NOPE I had a student at 4:30 (and crap...it's 4:22) so I quickly say by to mom and throw (more like gently place) Cash in the car and run over to the studio...Guess what... no student. AND my husband isn't here?? WHAT??!! I'm so cornfused. So Cash and I ran around the studio for a bit and now he's laying in his favorite spot (in front of the door). OH for those of you who don't know...Cash is our new PUPPY! He's great. Honestly sometimes I feel overwhelmed and this is generally how the conversation follows
Random Person:"Oh, is he not sleeping??"
Me:"no, actually he's a GREAT sleeper!...he usually sleeps for about 8 hours at night...on the floor of our bedroom"
RP: OH so he potties on the floor of your bedroom??
Me: "no, he's really good about that"
RP: "well, is he not doing a good job pottying?"
Me: "no, actually he's AWESOME and really has been since the first day we got him...he only pees at my parents house..."
RP: Well, what's wrong??
Me: Well, he doesn't like his cage and can't stop chewing things...
RP: That's probably because he's a puppy.

Dang it, I'm a bad puppy mommy. In my defense though... I've never had a dog/puppy. EVER. In my whole life. I think I'm going to go ahead and blame my mom for never letting me have the experience. She's actually terrified of dogs. Cash went to my parents house FIRST when I brought him home from Michigan. So he's known them basically as long as he's known me. He got up on the couch at their house yesterday (which is verboden at Grandma's) and my mom said "no Cash, get down" and then said... Karyn, he won't get down... to which i replied Mom, just pull him off. She then said "i tried, but then he looked mean so i didn't" ARE YOU KIDDING ME MOM?? HAVE YOU SEEN MY PUPPY??!! He's basically a giant furball of love and puppiness. Poor terrified mom...maybe that's why Cash is always peeing at their house... the smell of fear in others makes him pee.

Welp, I'm off to do lessons in a bit. What a GLORIOUS fall afternoon.
