It’s 10:36. I should really be in bed (the alarm goes off at 4:00), but here I sit. I have been on the run all day and just got home at 10:00. I need a little down time before I can think about sleeping….which is definitely going to come back to bite me in the butt tomorrow.
The puppies went to Cutie Patootie’s for grooming this morning. The name is soooo embarassing, but they do a great job for an incredible price and most important, the pups like the ladies there. They even managed to trim Elvis’ toenails, a feat best attempted under the influence of something really, really strong. The whole adventure wore me out, though, as my boys don’t do so well on leashes and they get so hyper when they get to go somewhere. For crying out loud, Scooby was so excited to get out of the car that he somehow managed to jump up on my face and I ended up with his foot in my mouth. Phhtttbbbb!
I convinced myself (like it took a lot of convincing) that I deserved a treat while the boys were being groomed so I went to Barnes and Nobel. Uh oh. On the plus side, I did not indulge in anything from Starbucks. On the minus side, I bought five books and a magazine. On the plus side, all but one of the books were bargain books and I used my membership card to get another 10% off.
I picked the dogs up, dropped them off at home and went back to work…which is where I was all evening. See, every four years school bus drivers have to recertify through time in the classroom, a written test and a driving test. Guess who’s four years are up this summer? The class wouldn’t be bad but it’s at the main garage which is a good 20 minutes from the garage I drive out of and they choose to hold the darn thing at night. It took me 40 minutes to drive home.
As for the dieting, I did okay. I could have done better, but it’s hard when you are grabbing something on the go. I just tried to pick the healthiest thing I could. At least I was thinking about every food choice I made.
Well, I am off to bed. I think I can sleep now. Thanks everyone for the support and offers to become diet buddies. I’ll be taking you up on it.
‘Night!
Cutie Patooty…I love it. They would have to be talented to have a name like that. I once took my dogs to a place called “Dog Grooming.” Creative, hm?

Those days are so grueling. The ones where you feel as if you are running around like a chicken all day long. I guess the good thing is that you burned a lot of calories….

Sounds like a good day. The dogs now look great, you stayed on youir diet, and you are getting ready to be recertified. Now you deserve a good nights sleep.
