See that bear? That's Doggie Bear-bear. He is Tanner's best friend, his compadre, his constant companion. We have been known to turn around to go get Doggie when Tanner realized he forgot him and cried huge tears of dispair. Ok , so the reason I'm even talking about Doggie is because he has gotten me into a bit of a parental dilemma.
Tonight, Doggie was the victim of a very random regurgitation, so he was immediately thrown in the "bath" (washing machine). Tanner bravely went forward through his bedtime ritual without Doggie, but he was so darn sad that I told him that I would lay Doggie beside him while he sleeps after Doggie was finished getting washed and dried.
However, I didn't know that my towels were going to take FOREVER in the dryer because of the blasted humidity oustide and Doggie didn't make it to the dryer until after 10:00. It is not going well - Doggie is not drying quickly.
So...here I sit. Waiting. And I NEED to go to bed. But I promised Boo-boo. I am tired. If I stay up late, I will be sorry tomorrow. Mornings are tough as it is. But I promised Tanner. Therefore, it's not really a dilemma, is it? I will stay up until Doggie dries and sneak him beside his best bud, just as I said I would because how can I expect my boys to grow up as honorable men if I don't keep my promises, especially when it deals with something so very important to one of them. Dang it. I wonder if there's a way to main-line coffee?
