It's one of those "life's disappointing moments"

Well......we had plotted out 4 days off that we could take beginning on Saturday.  We scheduled for it, we did all our work so we could freely go, and we got all excited that we were finally going to get some time off.

But then we got disappointed.

And it's Cris' fault

And Wrigley's fault

And the Houston Rockets fault.

It's Cris' fault because:  Cris is scheduled to be working 3 of the 4 days we would be gone, therefore, he would not be here to take care of our dog -- and she's not used to being home alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time.

It's Wrigley's fault because:  she still isn't housetrained, therefore, we couldn't leave her at someone's house to be boarded while we were gone.  I'm sure no one wants to put up with all that mess.

It's the Rocket's fault because:  they won their division last night and now there is a playoff game on Saturday night.  That means business will be extra busy and we really didn't have enough people scheduled as it is.....so we need to be here.

However, our plans are to go ahead and take Sunday-Tuesday off and just relax and get some much needed cleaning and maintenance done around here.  We have company coming and we really do have a bunch of things that need done here.  We can also take off and do fun things during the day as we feel inspired.

And while we are disappointed -- we hope to get lots of things accomplished.  Next plan is to wait until May when the college kids are out and we are going to take a NICE LONG 6 DAY VACATION.  We are so ready.
