Give me a Break!

The trouble maker, Roman.


These are going to be a very long last two months of my pregnancy. The other day I had heart burn and my sciatic nerve was pinched. After some Tylenol and Tums I hit the hay. Only it took forever to fall asleep. About 30 minutes after falling asleep I was restless and wide awake! Hoping I wouldn't wake my sleeping beauty I took a tub in the dark (he hasn't fixed the bathroom door). After about 5 minutes in the tub I couldn't take the heat from it with my heartburn so I just wrapped up in a towel and headed upstairs. I ate half a bottle of Tums and took more Tylenol plopped down on the couch and watched tv hoping that the awful infomercials played at that hour would bore me to sleep. Maybe 20 minutes after I'd started to doze on the couch I could hear Roman banging around in his crate! Oh brother! So , still in my towel, I opened the garage door and let him out of his crate to got to the bathroom. He went out piddled then took off running down the rode like a bat out of hell! I took off behind him screaming in my towel that doesn't quite cover my 7 months pregnant tummy. I caught his tale and he turned around and took off the other way ran straight into the house where I proceeded to chase him through the kitchen! I eventually got him into his crate with the help of my sleeping beauty who was no longer asleep after all the screaming at 3am. With the heartburn gone and my back feeling better Mike whisked me off to bed! Sigh....sleep.....or not! The stupid neighbors dog started barking, and woke me up again! At this point I burst out in tears and started crying! I was exhausted, frustrated, and humiliated. I mine as well have been streaking.
My neighbors are so kind and haven't said anything. Either their super nice or luckily I didn't wake them.... okay, they are just super nice. Hopefully tonight will be better. Why didn't I just close the garage and let the dog go? It was clearly a bad judgment call I made while sleep deprived and pregnant. Next time he'll be homeless and left to fend for himself.

Wow that is the funniest worst story I have ever heard! I can't believe you chased after him, I would have just let the dog go! I hope you start feeling better.
