Rolling in the Deep

Well tis the season.....have I mentioned that I hate the holidays? Because I honestly really do!  If it were up to me we'd fall asleep after Halloween and wake up after New Years.  I didn't start work until 10am today but I couldn't sleep again, so no sleeping in for me.  I stopped at Starbucks on my way to work and got myself a grande pumpkin spice frappicino.  mMmmmm yummy!   On my way to work I started feeling a little down, sad, and a little nostalgic or melancholy.  But I can't go into work like this so I had to suck it all in as I pulled into work and put on my work happy face, when really I'm dying inside (or so it feels). As soon as I walked in to work my day started....15 check in's today and then I was told we had 4 grooming appointments.  Since we are out of a groomer at work for the moment, boarding has been doing baths/nt/eag for some appointments.  I have learned that I definitely do no want to be a groomer!  Today was a day that we would need help with these baths because boarding was just too busy....So two wonderful co-workers, Tess (the momma to be) and Marty (one of my fav boys ;)  helped us by doing the nail trims and eag while I bathed them.  It was awesome of them to help, it really helped and it was much appreciated!  Also a big thanks to Cari, Jennie, and Kelsey because you girls were also spectacular today by helping Brandy and I walk the pooches.  You may have thought that walking a few dogs was nothing, but to Brandy and I it was a lot!  So thank you to all of you that helped.  I left work and surprised Momma Donna with a Starbucks :)  Then I helped her at work (well not really helped her but sat and talked with her).  She told me about a dream my sister Malissa had, it was basically my hopes/dreams/wishes coming true.  How nice of my sissy to have a wonderful dream about me....maybe that means it'll come true???  Then Momma Donna and I talked about her friend Sue and Megan.  Sue needs people around her because she's not ready to be alone....I know it must be hard for her...wish I could take away all the pain :(  We then talked about the holidays and that it's hard for me because of everything that I've been going through.  I just wish things were different, and that I could have Chad around for the holidays.  It was always nice to have him around for the holidays, sleeping in, eating good food, and opening presents.  Uhhhhh it's going to be hard.  Donna and I had a late dinner and then came home.  All of this reminds me of another favorite song of mine....Rolling in the Deep by Adele.  ***Special note to Thomas-I know that you don't like Adele but I just love her...but I love you more :*

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow...watch for another blog post later tomorrow, like after 6 because I work all day!
