long and tiring.

I'm snuggling with my cats until our dog's whining becomes unbearable. We've had her for 2 weeks now, and honestly I miss the cats around the house, sleeping on the bed curled up with me. It's hard to confine them to another room at night when our dog is barking to be with us too. But they don't get along, so I can't have them together. I hope by the end of the year they will get along, but that's a long time off, and a lot of training and patience on me. Of course me, because why would the hubby help? He's sleeping during the day and has other things to do when he wakes, so once again this stuff falls on me. It's very upsetting. Honestly I believed him when he said he would help, because he really wanted a dog again. And I missed having one too. But I didn't think I'd end up doing it all myself yet again. I'm the one who has to remind him to pick up dog poo, and change the cat litter, do the dishes, pay the bills, but yet he looks at me like I'm just nagging him. But when he doesn't do it and I tell him, 3 days later it still ain't done!! How is that the least bit helpful? He is supposed to have an alarm to clean the snake cage, yet he turned it off a year ago and kindly forgets. I've asked him a bunch of times to clean it, but it hasn't happened. I'm about to set him loose. I can't take stuff like this anymore. I cook, I do laundry, I am with MJ 24/7, I do some cleaning, feed the animals, grocery shop, pay half the bills, I can't do it all! If I could I would, but I still have my hand problem, and lately my foot has been hurting again. 
And of course, I am the only person unpacking and putting things where they need to be. Plus trying to clean up the back yard. It's tiring. My yard is large and I love it! But it was poorly maintained, and is going to take a year to get it cleaned. Then another 4 years to get it properly landscaped to what we really want. And the fifth year will be the built in pool. For now we will do an above ground, a cheap one that is easy to maintain. Cause that's all this girl and MJ are gonna do in the summer, swim. It's hard enough getting her out of the bath tub. But I need our water softener looked at first before I can let her play in there all the time. We have really hard water, my poor hair and skin is so dry from it. I just hope it can be fixed instead of needing a new one. I don't want to pay for a new system right now. 
Otherwise, the house is slowly getting together. There are still a bunch of things that need cleaned. Plenty that needs put away. Tons that need unpacked. Plus I have to go thru my clothes and get rid of the holey stuff. I didn't before we moved which should've been the proper time but wasn't. I still need new socks and pants. My favorite jeans wore thru in the crotch last week, just like my favorite black pants wore thru there last summer. It was sad. But soon I hope, or may have to wait til next winter season for new pants since it will be summer here in another month. Summer lasts 8 months in Arizona. 4 of those months being super hot, the other 4 being just hot. The last 4 months turn out just right, with one month being cold. Been here 5 years and still ain't use to it.
