Quiet Morning

It's the first morning in three weeks that the house dogs and I all slept until 8:30am. And all of us were in the exact same spots we had originally set our heads down. Spunky was in the new ebay bed I bought for Katie, but it turned out to be too small; Katie was on Sacha's bed next to our bed; and Sacha, never one to sleep on our bed much, was stretched out along side of me, pinning the blankets down so I had just a sliver and shiver all night long. The CD player was getting louder and louder forcing Enya to push her limits and annoy me enough to get up and turn her off, but I put up a good battle and ignored her to the best of my ability, using skills normally reserved for my boyfriend when trying to ignore him. Sleeping in feels so good after a rowdy session of guest dogs, early morning puppy playtimes and frantic, let's get them out the door before they decide the carpets are better than cold mud and grass to pee on.

But now I am up, there is work to be done, coffee to be consumed and INVOICES to be completed! How in the world I expect to get paid without mailing my invoices is a mystery to me, so my mission today is they must be in the mail by 5PM! No more goofing off, recovering from the holiday rush of "abandoned" pets luxurating at Ben's Bed and Biscuit, and using valid excuses like the puppy ate my computer. Of course this will be done after poop scooping, walking the housedogs and one of their friends and who knows what else...oh yes, must finish knitting my girl friends' Christmas present!!!
