Be careful what you ask for

Last night was a night for ME.  Yes, you heard that right ladies and gentlemen.

Danny took the 2 younger boys out for the evening and since Shane has exams AND had drivers education (don't worry, I will alert the state of Texas when the streets are unsafe) I had a portion of the evening alone.  I am a firm believer in the fact that you have to take care of yourself in order to take care of everyone else too.  I haven't had any ME time in a while.

I did my nails, facial, etc...

After picking Shane up from his late drivers education class, I SO wanted to just have a bubble bath with my current book, a sip of wine and then go to bed. Ahhhh!!! 

Having decided this was my plan, I asked Shane to watch the new puppy (yes, that's a whole different story for later I haven't even delved into here on Bunny Burrow). 

I got in response, "Huh? The puppy?  Tsk... I gueeeeesssss I can watch her, but I'm taking her upstairs with me because I'm tired." 

I asked him not to let her just snuggle up and go to sleep so she would sleep all night and not wake up at the crack of dawn needing to potty. He said even though he was tired he would try to keep an eye on her.  He reluctantly takes the puppy, slowly trudges upstairs and goes to his room.

I guess I need to let you know at this point that Shane's room is right above my bathroom.  Oh, the peaceful steamy aroma relaxation therapy was calling my name!  I stick my big toe in the tub and hear a loud THUD. Hmm.... They were just playing around. Right?  That's a good thing!

For the next 20 minutes I hear Shane running and jumping and yelling high pitched noises playing with the puppy as well as drumming and patting his hands on the floor to get her to come and her responsive little yippy bark. Let me reiterate, I mean the next 20 minutes in its ENTIRETY right over my  head. 

So much for that peaceful part...

I dry off and put on my favorite pj's and go upstairs.  I hear a scuffle and ALL OF A SUDDEN, you can hear a pin drop.

"So, how was she?" I asked.

"Oh, her? She was fine I guess.."

"She stay awake?"

"Umm, yeah.  I don't think she fell asleep."

All this Shane says laying down on the bed with the puppy furiously attacking his socks which still happen to be on his feet.

"Okay, then. Thanks for that..."

"MmHmmm," this being said without looking up from his book.

Well, I guess I DID ask him to keep her awake -- didn't I?

Michele sent me to hear about your attempt at relaxing, my experience is when there are puppies present, no one relaxes.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one with bunnies in their URL
