Whoever said living in the land of Arizona, where most would probably think of desert, sun, and cacti, would have a cold winter.
Well typically I’m fond of the colder regions, because being raised in the desert you don’t see alot of the greenery or white stuff falling from the sky. That’s what we call it out here because it is that foreign! 
Anyways, so this morning on a very cold Saturday I found myself getting out of bed with my knee high socks, long panted pajamas, and tshirt and still cold. Typically I can get away with not turning on my heat, because it is a beautiful thing when your Electric bills are below $200. Those summer days of 110 degrees are long gone, and turning of the AC is a financial relief! So I look at my thermastat and am surprised by the 63 degrees indoors.
So I throw on my sweatshirt and head out for the fruit and veggie co-op I’ve become a part of. I’ll explain more about that at another time. Possibly tomorrow if nothing more exciting happens.
I talk to the sis in the car exclaiming how cold it is here and then *ding* my amazingly smart car decides to tell me it is way too cold to be outside.
A cute little snowflake appears on the dash next to the temperature below.
Can you even believe it!?!?
So it started like this – a confession of sorts to my sister. Let me just preface this first by stating I would really appreciate your support, being that I am trying to turn a new leaf. So please don’t judge me.
Me: I have never taken Cullen on a walk
Sis: Are you kidding me, I can not believe that!
Me: I know, I am a horrible mother…it’s just he gave us Giardia when we first got him last April…and I didn’t forgive him for awhile. Then he just grew up…and I found myself for the first on a leash, taking him to the vet to get fixed. That was the first time he ever experienced a collar.
A week later the guilt sunk in, and I found myself determined to change the situation. Although that is when I realized I only had a harness and leash for Sydney. So Sydney would get her walk that night…
So today after work, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take Syd and Cullen on a walk. The hubby was at happy hour with his co-workers, the little sis was still at work…and I was home alone…
Considering Syd was a perfect angel the other day on her walk, I figured I could handle Cullen’s beginner issues. Plus it may be good for him to see how he should handle himself.
Big mistake! Not only was I tangled, but my wrists have rug burn, my ancles are tender, and I was covered in hair from my head to my toes!
So, will I attempt it again. Of course, but maybe next time I need someone else to tag team, because my attempts at being a good mom were sorely lost in the shuffle!
So I go into work today and find myself cream cheesing my bagel when to the left and right of me are my co-workers. Then I can hear the voice of my carpooler laughing behind me…
Carpooler bud: Oh my gosh, you guys all match!
Me: eww, not a fan of this, what is going on.
I look to around me, only to see my two co-workers in the khaki pants and blue top.
One Co-worker: Yeah, we planned it, isn’t it cute?
Me: no way, my mom did enough of that with me and my two sister growing up. I’d rather not look like everyone else.
As the day progresses I must of seen 7+ more co-workers with the same idea.
Guess I got the memo!
