rainy days and mondays

today was most definitely NOT a good day. i can tell because mom was late getting home. and she seems to be annoyed. it is ok, though, because i am really tired too. i think she is winding down after an action-packed weekend, and then had to deal with some silliness at work. it seems like she has to solve a lot of problems for a lot of people, all the time. my question is, why doesnt everyone else think strategically like she does? why cant everyone else problem solve like she does? why cant everyone else put the pieces of the puzzle together like she does? i mean, from what i understand, which is only a dogs perspective, it seems like she has to basically solve the everyone elses' problems. now, i think this may actually be her job, but it sure doesnt seem like fun to me. me, i like to just deal with my own issues. things like, why arent the plantation shutters open today for me to see what is going on outside? or, it seems like maybe we need to get more dog food because some of mine tonight had some crumbs in it. or, i am not a fan of the rain these days, and i wonder when it is going to stop. other than that, i am not really sure what kind of problems a person could have, but it sure does seem like people have a lot of drama. i sure am glad i am a dog.
