Ugh. Puppies.

Well, it happened.  I finally lost it.  Minor meltdown on my way to work after a sleepless night and horrible morning!  I know it's not the dogs fault, I know he can't hold it long- but it's so hard trying to keep up!  I was so upset at the kids this morning!  I asked Gage to watch the do while I took a shower and got ready for work, and in the 1/2 hour I was there the puppy peed on the carpet twice!  Once on my brand new favorite rug!  I left in a huff and cried all the way to work.
I know I made Jon and the kids feel bad, but I couldn't hold it anymore.  I was done.  But when I got home, Jon had worked hard to start the puppy proofing!  There are now two gates up- one to keep the dog out of my front room, and one to keep the curious little fart from going up the stairs!  It makes it easier to keep track of him!  Now, if we could just figure out the gas problem the poor little guy has developed!  Whew!  The rug was rolled up and put away- only to come out again when things are better controlled!  Better than ruining it, right?  I'll get through it.  I can do hard things.  But pray for me- (and my family, and maybe even the dog) anyway.
