NEW RULE

I dont know if this happens to anyone else, but people seem to pop in here unannounced all the damn time. And guaranteed, Ryan will be napping, and probably so will I, and we will be jolted out of dreamland to the sound of barking dogs. Poor little guy is now crying because he's now scared of the commotion and as for my beloved dogs, I want to rip their larynx out with my bare hands. Its just so rude. In this day and age of cell phones, how hard is it to call from even just a mile down the road, to say Im stopping by. That will give me time to put the dogs outside, so the baby doesn't get woken up and all will be well. And if I dont answer, then Im sleeping too, or perhaps too busy at the moment to answer your call. This means, dont come by. You would think this would be common sense, especially when theres a baby in the house, but it seems to happen atlease once a week. Doesn't matter if Ive locked the door or not because once you hit the driveway, the dogs are going banshee. I learned that lesson the hard way, when there would be people who let themselves in my house, standing in the living room bellowing my name while Im dead asleep or better yet, showering. Yes, these are true stories. Its not that I dont want to see you, really I do enjoy your company. Just call! So heres my new rule, the next time someone comes over unannounced, you will be leaving WITH the dog of your choice.
