Meet the Newest Member of The Wood Family

Meet Lacee Sophia Wood. If any of you know me, you know that I am not a "dog lover" by any means. Last Sunday I was in the Christmas mood and decided I would surprise my family with a sweet little puppy. How excited Chris was when I finally got him a puppy. Ava was thrilled and Lilly seems to just simply love life. I felt like a great mother and wife. Sunday night we loved all over the puppy and played with her. Chris named her Lacee (a name he wanted for one of the girls) and Ava liked Sophia. The puppy was so sweet just laying in the kitchen. BUT THEN REALITY HIT ME MONDAY MORNING....... what was I thinking. Chris got up to go to work at 2:30 am as usual and around 5:00am Lilly and the dog Lacee are both needing to be fed and are whinning and crying. I run and feed Lilly, lay her back in her crib to find Lacee still whinning in the kitchen to go outside in the FREEZING cold. I throw on some clothes, looking like a scary bum and take Lacee out. Once again I am realizing I have created more work in my life and this time I did it for no apparent reason. I go back to lay down and I hear Lilly crying, walk by the kitchen and Lacee is jumping up and whinning for me as well. Not to mention she has gone to the bathroom on me kitchen rug. As I am cleaning that up I hear footsteps down the hallway asking can she have cookies for breakfast and will I pleassssse play a game on the computer with her. By this time I start to see the sun appear over the trees and think to myself........A husband, a 4 1/2 year old, a 7 month old, and a six week old puppy- Is it to early to start drinking? HA!!
