First Night

well this morning started earlier than i hoped it would. kept hearing a small whine from the other side of our bedroom. so i got myself out of bed, went to the bathroom (first things first..) and stepped out into the living room. the dogs were so happy to see me. kaci came from the direction of the computer room and kaiser was right there in the hallway. i turned to the right and was greeted by my first wake-up shock - the living room was full of dog poop.
alright - not full, but every room had a present. (and it was BIG poop) i saw the first gift of my morning and immediately let the dogs outside, had to carefully choose my way through as i was greeted with several more surprises.
one room had some dirrehea the computer had just had a visit, and the living room had several piles (how did he hold in that much stuff, we let him out at least four times before bed...) needless to say, i was happy i did not steam clean on friday.
so i steam cleaned this morning with my already sore muscles and spoke lovingly to the dogs. (the cats are still hiding from our new guest) then i showered and prepared to do some yoga/pilates just to loosen my already sore muscles and get some stretch back into my arms. i have misplaced my dvd, so the 40 minute workout took me about 15 min, still trying to figure this out because i think i did all the exercises.... and i am not feeling quite as well as i usually do after this workout.
all in all a very good night. it will take a few days to get a schedule set. and my main priority is to let kaiser know he is loved and welcome here no matter what.
strangely, as i was loading the dishwasher (so i had an empty sink for the steam cleaner water..) it hit me that God has had to clean up a lot of my messes too. that throughout life i have had my share of really dirty messes and He has somehow brought good out of them also. it was just such a striking, funny thought that i had to laugh out loud and then i moaned just because of the embarrassment of what God has come into where i was concerned and how He got me to a better place. He truly comes into our filthy life and loves us out of it all. what a wonderful relationship He gives to us.
have a great day all.
