I realized after coming back from St. Patty’s Day that I never published this post! So let me just say we had a great time at home this past weekend and this is a bit outdated….None the less here is a glimpse of our journey the last few weeks…
Disclaimer: I totally noticed that almost the entire blog references my incognito braces as I was looking back over what I wrote!!It’s amazing how when something is bothering, hurting or uncomfortable to you your thoughts are consumed by it 90% of the time, similar to how if something is in your mouth your tongue goes directly to it 90% of the time- Oh, what a coincidence!
It’s amazing how badly a girl who once went 10 years without meat is craving it after 2 weeks!
That’s my next goal!
Tucker and Lou have done nothing but be extra sweet to me since I had been quite a sad pup at times getting adjusted to a mouth full of metal, aching/sensitive teeth, a lisp and eating mushy food for 2 weeks!
Tucker wanted me to hold his hand while he slept the first couple nights and we all know he isn’t my cuddle bug typically so this was a stretch…I even woke up one morning with him literally on TOP of me!
Love that sweet golden boy!
As for these two… could they be any sweeter!?!?!
I don’t think I have picked up one thing, turned out one light, re-filled my own drink, the list goes on…. Sweet Lou has tried so hard to make my life as easy as possible lately!
He even learned to say, “Ok come on, it’s time for a good cry”.. which is the hardest thing in the world for him… he usually freaks and begs me not to cry! Trust me though, I took advantage of those free cries, I remember night two asking him... ok begging.. “please just take it out for like 10 minutes, my mouth needs a break!”
Looking back I told Lou I am now able to see what my role typically is to my clients from my clients point of view… he isn’t able to “solve the problem” but him just being there and appearing confident, positive and reassuring me that I will get used to it and everything will be okay can mean the world to someone who doesn’t believe it themselves at the time!
So until that time comes of “getting used to it” …more milk shakes!
Oh yeah and Margaritas are good too!
This was my first “real meal!” after a week!
I learned this night that I can swallow a rather large balled up piece of tortilla with cheeses sauce on it (yes i feel very bad all that chicken in my soup was trashed, I haven’t got that good yet, I just like the broth)… then Alex pointed out if I can swallow a piece of tortilla, surely I can swallow a pill - here we go again…. So I tried with a pea. I told myself it was just a pea, food that was yummy and it went right down… I then picked up another pea told myself it was a pill and it literally wouldn’t go down!
I know everyone says it’s mind over matter but DAMN my mind is hard headed!
The next night it was BEAUTIFUL out so I got extra brave to see what else I could “soak and swallow” so we were off to the square to continue our streak of trying new restaurants!
The first thing we smelled was Italian … my second “real meal”!
Earlier that day we started on the garage- Ew- but it was a great distraction and at the perfect time- we had been waiting for it to warm up to tackle this mess…
Ok “mess” was an understatement!
So let’s say that was a before and here’s “During” and “After”.
Not great or organized yet but at least it’s improvement!
Oh yes, and look what I found! think I made this for Alex when I was 16 for Valentines day, 11 years ago- wow!
Geez, even then I told him I loved him more than “cheese dip from La hacienda, tanning and shopping”- sounds pretty serious!
Then I found this…. Sweet Ana, I love it!
Ok so then i may or may not have found a bag of bread in Alex’s car when we packed up all the donations… and headed down to the lake to meet our “neighbors”….
By the time Alex found me I had them eating out my hand! 
Literally!
I showed him “all gone” and he was not so fond of that…
It’s official, spring is right around the corner! 
We got back up to the porch and had 2 very angry pups who had VERY green eyes…. they saw everything! 
We’re sorry, we’re sorry! 
He can’t help himself, he is too forgiving!
Until he found a stick that was longer than us and decided to chase us with it….
In the end mommy won, no more stick for Tuck…
…and apologies to Mill for not saving her any bread, bless her.
Hope you all had a good St. patty’s Day! Ours was festive and full of green drunk people so I’d say we celebrated as expected!
More of that to come, I have 3 cuddle bugs waiting for the lights to go out!
Happy Monday!
