Love is…
December 3rd, 2007 by Jennine
…Not saying ”I told you so!” when every fiber of your being is screaming for the words to be said.
And!
…Pretending not to care that snow will melt and drip onto the carpet for the next five hours.
And!
…Saying ”Thank you!” when your sixteen year old son brings home an unexpected Christmas gift from his friend’s house.
Because how do you say no to a teenage boy’s selfless, well-intentioned gift to his family?
I just thank God his friend doesn’t raise elephants.

looks like you visited the Chevy Chase tree lot this year huh?? Oh, that little doggie looks part Great Dane to me!

Lol Deb! He kinda does look like he’s part great dane. He certainly doesn’t know that he’s a little guy.
And as far as the tree is concerned…I checked for squirrels before Darren brought in!

Your puppy is adorable!!!! Makes me lonesome for our little Shit-Shu we had for l5 years, and who now lies buried in our back yard. He was a present too–my birthday present from our daughter that year. Didn’t know I wanted a dog, but like you said–how do you say “No” to someone who gives you something because they love you!

I’ll tell you how to say NO! Look at the dog in my site! The 100 pound slobbering idiot they brought home; AND they want one of his offspring - I keep telling them NO NO NO NO and NO. And if IT comes home IT will be name something horrible like Snotz or Huck and not be allowed indoors.
At least your little doggie fits inSIDE a shoe, Jennine. And yuou can dig a hole with a tulip bulber. enoguh ranting.

HAHA Our tree looks like that every year because my eyes are always bigger than my house!! We are going to get the tree this weekend - I can’t WAIT!!! I still make the teenagers come along and for a moment they act like they don’t want to but then their faces get all lit up and I can tell they still LOVE to cut down the tree.
The dog is adorable I must say. I always say no because we can’t have dogs with my business but when we got guinea pigs I am the biggest marshmellow in the house. I am always buying the dumb things treats and calling them my grandpigs. I can totally see getting suckered into the dog thing (shhh don’t tell my kids…)

So Lois and Charli…what you’re saying is that if I showed up on your doorstep and said “I love you so much! Here’s a Christmas present from my heart!” you would take a puppy? Because I could so do that!
Deborah- The issue is more that my son, Kevin, RARELY does anything kind for anyone other than himself. I really wanted to encourage him to think of others. Trust me, I would have preferred he said “Hey mom…Merry Christmas. I just folded all the white clothes for you. Oh. And I won’t be moody for 24 hours.” Instead he gives me a creature who doesn’t know the appropriate place to pee and poop.

FALSE PREGNANCY!!!
