What’s TYVM (Thank You Very Much)? It’s my way of sarcastically thanking all the little things that have ticked me off. It serves as free therapy, and boy do I sometimes need some free therapy! TYVM used to be a weekly meme, however, I retired it awhile ago due to lack of participation. The button is still on my sidebar in case you’d like to play along. If so, please leave the link in the comments and I’ll be sure to come and visit.
Thank You Very Much to Murphy, who feels the need to chew everything. I realize he’s just a puppy, but “everything” includes the dryer door (as in the “washer and dryer”), the couch, feet, backs of arms, toes, inner thighs, etc. He chews everything but his toys and bones.
To Mother Nature, Thank You Very Much, for teasing us. We’ve had AWESOME weather for the past two weeks. And while I realize that was a bonus, it still sucks that we’re going to have cold, rainy weather for the next week.
To the thunderstorm that caused the power to go out last week, Thank You Very Much. Dealing with two little kids that were TERRIFIED was not fun. I don’t like it when the power goes out either, so I’m not much of a consolation to the boys.
And finally, Thank You Very Much to Buster for being in a “I am going to wait until the absolute last second to go potty and then have an accident while trying to hurry there” phase. As if cleaning up puppy pee wasn’t enough, I’m dealing with Buster pee. Grr.
Everybody can use some free therapy. What/who do you want to thank this week?

I need to remember these post when the puppy twinge hits…just come back here and remember why I am not ready for one.
I’m not ready to complain at about weather yet…As long as I am not freezing or melting I am content.
We had snow, rain, thunder, and lightning all at the same time last week. It was insane. I think we’ll have mellower weather this week…at least I hope.
Oh my gosh! What is that?? Blaze is in that same stage?!?!?! SOrry about the puppy chewies. He will learn and get past it. Just remember it is only a phase!
I hate that stage. I had to start to threaten consequences (like losing the iPad)…and that seems to have worked.
The dryer door? Now that’s a new one to me! Goodness!
Oh yeah. As I was emptying the dryer, he was gnawing on the door. Silly dog.
Oh Alex did that with peeing for a while-drove me insane!! It is like- just go child, please!!
Yeah, they are just too busy to stop what they’re doing to pee. It’s so irritating!
Oh, Bud is in that same phase. It’s worse now because you don’t expect it so you never have extra clothes. At least I never have extra clothes.
Exactly!! No extra clothes and you just don’t expect the mess.
We are leaving our beautiful spring weather and heading into hades hot. I’m going to miss the cooler days.
We were really cold this past week. We even had snow and hail. It should be mellower this week, and I’m really thankful.
It’s downright freezing today! I suppose that the temps this week are more in the normal range but it didn’t take long to get used to it!
I really hate “normal” March weather. I’m glad this week will be a little mellower.
Asher did the same as Buster last week, but it was NOT pee. And my husband DID NOT clean it out of his shorts before he threw them in the laundry room. I did NOT have to scrape it off the side of the machine. Imma gonna go puke again now.
OMG! I’m thinking I might puke with you. Was your hubby in the dog house for that one?
Eli totally does the wait until the last minute and then pee on himself thing too! It drives me a little crazy! We had some really yucky weather last week too. The boys slept on the floor in my room two nights in a row because of tornado warnings!
It must be the age. I don’t understand waiting until the last second. Holding it that long can’t be comfortable.
Isn’t it crazy how puppies will attempt to destroy everything except what you’ve purchased and approved for them to destroy?!?! Crazy
Yes!! Murphy likes to steal socks. I swear it’s because he knows he’s not supposed to have them. he’s super stealthy too.
