too much to handle at 3:30AM

zipper, johnny cash & jaxson

so i have been single parenting for 6 days now. (hubby is on a work trip) its day 7 (3:30AM) and i'm about to loose my mind! things with ayden have been going great, he's his normal, happy baby self. but these dogs are crazy! just to back track ~ we have 2 dogs; jaxson and johnny cash, and our roommate has 1; zipper. he had been thinking about getting a dog this summer and when i saw zipper online i had convinced him that he just had to rescue him. the only mistake was that he was a puppy (the same age as ayden). the mix of 3 is chaos. (three's a crowd totally makes sense to me now) i love dogs, and i would rescue them all and have a dog farm if possible so it really was me pushing for the adoption. but i wasn't thinking rationally. and i do love zipper, he's full of life and love but the mix + baby = TOO MUCH!

ayden is teething and so tonight was one of those sleepless nights. he was up at 11 and then again at 2:30 - this time not wanting to go back to bed. so i made some coffee and sat down to play with him. in the mean time, all the dogs are up. jax laying by ayden and i and jc and zipper wrestling and fighting over toys. its 3 am. they think its meal time and cannot seem to find comfort in quiet time. at this point i get aj back to sleep but the dogs are barking and rough-housing and i am about to tweak! so i separate them all and after 5 minutes of whining from 3 separate rooms of the house all is quiet and my nerves have calmed. wait - i hear a stirring baby. the funs about to start all over again. . .

hubby, you can come home now, i miss you!
