8-dogs-a-bathing

I find coming up with titles for my blog posts a bit challenging...that means that as soon as I see the blank window that follows the tile and the colons, I go totally blank. So for this one, the title is simple, even though the day with my furry friends was not.

Who can ever say life is boring, especially with pets? Here's the situation at my house: 1 house pet (Coco, a chocolate lab mix); her 7 puppies, and two other dogs I decided my kids could pet sit to get some extra cash ( I know, I know!! What the hell was I thinking??). Needless to say I realized it was too much after the fact. When I get back home from looking for furniture - that I knew I wouldn't buy from the getgo - I went to pet my dog when I realized that she was sticky. I went to check the on puppies and I realised they were sticky too...long story short...I ended up having to bathe all 7 puppies and Coco too - oh and plus the neighbour's dog because bathing dogs is a contagious feeling, it seems...I believe with strong certainty I am ready to put a pet vacation place with the kiddos (this could be plan C of my 10-yr plan - I'll explain the 10-yr plan in a later post). Now one thing is that I'm proud of myself because I pulled it off...all puppies and mama bathed, clean, and fed. Not bad for someone that wasn't too handy with the pets. Note to self for next time: no looking for furniture or any type of extra curricular activities when I have to pull an overnight shift...didn't get much sleep..(any actually)...back to The Jury At Nuremburg on Canal 7 Argentina. It's 1am and my day is about alllmost half over.

Bringing life to this blog

I've been beating around the bush for the past couple of years with this blog. My initial premise was to tell stories on this blog about a mom of two that has challenged herself, not only for her personal satisfaction, but also to become a better example for her children and that premise is simple: when you put your mind to something you can eventually make it happen.

I've always wanted to be a journalist. Initially, when I started this journey into journalism, I wanted to be a war correspondent. Needless to say, it didn't turn out that way - it happens a lot to me. I plan for anything, going to doctors appointments, parties, going out, saving money....etc, and destiny takes a hold of the steering wheel and makes a sharp turn.

After years of wanting to get into this world of journalism 20 years passed by and I finally made it...and thank goodness I didn't give up! I was miserable at times, frustrated, and honestly didn't think I would get to the finish line. But I did. And I'm happy.

Now, another chapter begins. I started this blog in 2007 and then abandoned it. It's mid 2010 and I've decided that enough with my self imposed writers block. I want to tell stories, of my white picket fence life, my hilarious children (I think they inherited that sharp sense of humor from me!), of my all the experiences I have thanks to my wonderful job, and of what I learn from the people I meet along the way.

So this is it....hold tight! Alot of experimentation on the way....
