Daughter has the weekend off, so I made a mad dash for the door—after dropping the 5-year-old off at Saturday detention at the high school. I mean, really, what can a 5-year-old do that warrants three Saturdays of detentions? She looked so small and lost with all those teenagers when I dropped her off. Grrrr… Stupid administrators. I think they meant it as punishment for the parents because my daughter refused to let them spank the kid when she got into a fight at school.

But I’m home. Not that I’ll be getting any work done today. I’ve had a total of 7 1/2 hours of sleep the past two nights. Those damn dogs kept me up. The shepherd and the malinois tied again last night at 1:00 AM, and daughter and I held both dogs’ collars as the dogs stood butt-to-butt, joking about how dirty we felt. The male must have been insulted because when he finally withdrew from the bitch he sprayed our feet with doggie-cum.
