Crazy Morning - What Being Tired Will do to You!

I'm so tired. I know this is just good practice for motherhood, but having a puppy is exhausting. I love it and I love her, but sometimes I feel like I'm going insane. I can't seem to get myself together lately. Just getting dressed and going to work is a huge chore - let alone trying to make coffee, haha. Last night, it was raining, which means Moxie was confused about going outside to go potty. She did number 1 outside, but number 2 was another story. So, this morning, we woke up to a present in her playpen. This happened about a half hour before my alarm goes off. In my sleepy state, I cleaned the pen and then sprayed it with bleach cleaner. I wiped it all up while my husband took her out, and then we put her back in. Cut to about 30 minutes later when she started retching -- presumably from bleach fumes. I took her downstairs to get some water, then brought her outside and got her some fresh air. That helped. But then I didn't want to put her back in the pen with the bleach, so I cleaned it again with our usual pet stain cleaner. Then of course, the normal routine of taking her out, playing, feeding, etc. We usually have a camera on her during the day so we can see her while we're at work. I forgot to set that up this morning.

So now I got to work, and turned the camera on and realized I didn't set it up. Dumb! I wanted to make sure she was ok! Then I googled bleach and found out that it really was a bad idea to use that in her pen. Then I googled the pet cleaning spray and tried to find out what was in that...and came across a warning that says "Do Not Mix with Bleach." So of course, I freaked. Luckily, I was able to run home and check on her and I re-cleaned the pen with simple soap and water and set up the camera correctly. Now I'm back at work. I just feel like I can't do anything right lately. Whatever I try to do gets all messed up somehow. And the more tired I get, the more I screw up. All I can say is this weekend cannot come fast enough. I am so glad we have no plans. I am so exhausted! I know it won't last forever and I want to enjoy her being a cute puppy while she is one, but sometimes it's so frustrating! Now -- I have no work to do at the moment so it is time for me to eat my yogurt and relax a bit. Oy vey!
