Time to take a DK break

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

As most of you know, I am the recent recipient of the "I love Intercourse,Pa" t shirt. However, it will be with me for a bit longer before I will get the time to get the pictures I need. I apologize for taking so long to get it all together and start a new contest. My life is normally pretty busy and actually, I don't know how I even have time to work, but now I am preparing for an exam that will actually cause me to loose my job if I don't pass it. And I love my job!
I am totally buried in textbooks and tests and practice exams to sit for my International Boards in July. It is a certification that is renewed by re-exam every 10 years. And its only given once a year, so no retakes until 2014.
I have 8 weeks remaining to prep for this beast and every spare moment is being spent on studying.
I already have had DK withdrawals as I only get to check in once every other day or so....... Very sad compared to having the site open most of the day and checking in 5-10 or more times a day, for 20-30 minutes at a time! But I hope to get back to DK and on with the important job of creating another contest to pass along the coveted "I love Intercourse, Pa." t shirt.

UPDATE: I'm still busy studying, most days at least 5 hours a day. Exam scheduled for 8:00 AM July 29th. 4 hr exam. The amount of material and time involved is overwhelming at times and I feel mostly bad for my poor doodles. They are so bored and patient with me, but when a collar or leash comes out, they act like they just won the doggie bone lottery.
So pathetic. Bella has taken to crying, whining, jumping around like a dog with her tail on fire whenever I put my shoes on, thinking she is going somewhere. She settles right down when I tell her we aren't going anywhere, but the looks......OMG! If she could pout, I imagine that is what she is doing. At that point, Murphy just hangs his head, looking up at me and then slowly stalks off to his spot under the table. OH MY BREAKING HEART!!!!

I've started studying outside by the pool, just so they can be in the yard playing, chasing birds and lizards and jump in the pool as needed. ( it's also in the 100's here) but we can only do that in the early morning hours.
So I'm feeling guilty about them, but know that if I don't pass and loose my job, that my poor doodles will not be kept in the style that they are accustomed. Lol. Like they'd care!!! So back to the books. Missing my time on DK too.

Good luck with that exam Sue, you will know breast LOL That's great Allyson. I'm a huge advocate for breastfeeding though in no way judge those who choose to bottle feed. Mine were all walking and talking before they gave it up ;)
