i woke up half an hour ago to the sound of otis vomiting right next to my head. then he went around the bed to matt's side and vomited there. matt was already up cleaning the dog puke when i came to full consciousness (it takes me a while). he said, as otis started puking a third time, "why don't you take your dog outside. you wanted to get up at 6:30 anyway." ugh.
we're in the phase in our lives right now where we need to make a very important decision fairly quickly: are we going to have children? i go back and forth on that issue several times a day. this morning i was definitely thinking "no way." not if it means no one ever gets anymore sleep and we're always grouchy with one another. but then when i took otis outside i noticed it had just rained, and that it smelled like almost-fall (one of my favorite smells), and that if i take otis on a long walk east i get to see the sunrise, and i thought "ok, morning is good." and then otis put his little fuzzy head on my lap as i turned on my computer and said with his puppy-eyes "mama, i don't feel good," and it felt good to snuggle him. so who knows?
i'm going to go take pukey mcpukerson outside and watch the sunrise. :)

I know that if you decide to have kids, you'll make it work (and you'll be great at it). Look at how much you care and about love your dog and your friends! Good luck on deciding!
Do you really have to make the decision fairly quickly? That's exciting that you are trying to decide, and I know you guys would be great parents. Take your time deciding. I've also gone back and forth thinking about it (for a future thing, not now), and it is tricky.
On a separate note, I am right with you on the smell of almost fall...I smelled it the other day after the rain, then was dissapointed that the rain didn't continue and the hot sun appeared. It will rain a lot soon enough...
thanks for the votes of confidence, it's good to hear :)
hey marissa,
still enjoying reading your blog. you always make me smile. i hope you don't feel too rushed to make the decision about children as it is not the sort of decision to rush. i know i am not in any rush to go down that road and i hope you don't feel rushed either.
love
ac
"hey! ac!" (remember, mr. hassler saying that?) ;)
anyway, i'm glad you're reading the blog. i miss you. i pretty much miss everyone. this moving to a new city thing is tough!
Well said.
