The puppy certainly changes things

I love almost everything about Bella.  You will notice I said almost.  I don't love the way we are restricted from going anytime we like.  That is a hard thing to give up.  I don't love that she still has accidents. I don't love that she chews everything.  I don't love that our son is doing a lot of traveling so we are stuck with her 24/7.  She sleeps with him so guess where she is sleeping now until he gets back. Wrong!! She is sleeping in his bed and one of us sleeps there too. Nothing like having a wet nose pushing at you to go potty at 1 3 and 5 am.  Up at 6 and ready to play. 
Since I have decided to use this as a complaint department, I would like to discuss something that is bugging me We are adding on to the church this year.  I am on the board of directors and have been since the conception of the idea to expand.  It is a big undertaking to be sure. We decided we would do the building in phases.  Phase one was the parking lot.  We had the money it was completed.  Everyone was happy.  Phase two. expand the community room.which includes the kitchen, moving the  office, library, and store room, and the bathrooms to another place . Phase three would be the sancutary.  We are now working on phase two.  We think we have the money to complete this phase if we do a lot of the inside work especially.  The members of the church did so much when the last expansion was done and we are hoping they will again, and they seem to be willing.  We have great people in our church.  Now my complaint.  I can feel that some of the people either don't care or would rather not be involved and I am starting to get the feeling too.  I have decided that when my term is over I will go off the board and let someone with more enthusiasim take my place. 
This morning I was at the church helping to set up for a funeral dinner and I was approached by a member of the church asking why I was giving up the position.  I said it was time for new ideas and I am not very healthy lately and I need to concentrate on getting as well as possible.  I was told that I was one of the few to really take an interest in what was happening in the church. My question is if they can see this why don't they jump in and do something?  Now I feel guilty about leaving. 

Does it seem to you like more and more people sit back and expect things to be done for them.  They want everything handed to them with no expectations from them.  We are lazy lazy people.  No wonder we are obese me included.  We should be ashamed of ourselves.,  Ok enough complaining for today. 

I think Bella and I will go sit by the waterfall close to our house and relax and let the world go by.
