Twilight Zone

I usually don't go so long between posts but I think it might be because I am walking around in a sleep deprivation/Toy Story fog. That might sound like a weird form of torture, but it's actually not that bad, except for the fact that I am a bit... foggy.

And Max has been sick on top of his newborn-revisited sleeping habits and I am desperately trying to get at least part of the house put back together.

There is one more contributing factor to my general absence and confusion. And that would be the fact that truly weird things are happening around here. I am getting strange text messages. With links to strange websites.

My husband seems to be in some sort of confused state as well. Because those messages are from him.

I observe this scene with frequency,




which probably doesn't look that strange unless you can see what is on the computer screen.



One day I get a text like this: Let's wait.

The next day it's this with a link to some adorable puppies: Which one do you want?

A few months ago, we had a discussion (argument). It was so bizarre that I literally laughed and cried in a period of 5 minutes just out of emotional overload. Phrases were coming out of our mouths that I would have very seriously bet thousands (millions, if I had them) of dollars that we never would have said.

The whole thing is a blur and how it came down to this, no one could know. All that's really important is that the last words were these:

"You can go to Europe and I will get my dog!"

Now, if you had to guess, which one of us said those words?

That's right, based on the shock I already mentioned, those were words straight out of Dan's mouth. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either, especially if you remember back when we got the trampoline and explained that Dan NEVER wanted a dog.

Well, pigs were flying that night!

In all honesty, I never thought I would be arguing to not get a dog. And I never thought Dan would be arguing for one. I realize that my capacities are pretty much tapped out at the moment and the amount of work and love that a dog needs are more than I can do. Dan, on the very weird other hand, sees the benefit for the kids and is willing to put in the work that I can't. Maybe. That's why we're confused over here.

To dog or not to dog, that is the question.

I love that Dan is even considering this. Not because I want a dog right now, but because I know that he is really thinking of the kids.

And in case you are wondering, I didn't forget about our argument. Europe plans are currently underway.
