What a Day
Friday, January 20, 2017 at 5:16PM 
I have to laugh at days like this. The Dolly came to visit us - a positive. Teddy is here - a positive! Murphy arrived - a positive!
I went out to get a table to fit my shampoo/conditioner and my grooming tools. It is a Mastercraft Base Workbench that you usually use in your garage. Dennis is building it. Tracy and I picked it up at Canadian Tire. It was on sale. I am tired of my grooming room looking like a disorganized mess. I have been saving for a bit. The box was 80 lbs so getting it to the van required help. We got it home and Dennis shook his head saying I thought I had a day off. <sigh> Yes, he needs a day off.
While I was there I bought 65. worth of bulbs that we needed for the kitchen as they burned out. There are 4 long tubes and 2 u tubes. Over $10 a lightbulb with no other choices. Good thing these ones last. They are used daily but its been years since we had a burn out. My tips also went to these. I think I need the $$ back. You will see why.
Nathan goes to put a u tube bulb in and it fell out of the ceiling lighting. Dogs that were in the kitchen were carried out of room. I checked pads, blew their pads incase something was lodged. No one had an issue and I was very thorough. Dennis was in a mood saying if he did it then it wouldn't have happened. I just shut my mouth, cleaned all the counters and Dennis did the floor. I am not sure Nathan appreciated Dennis' mood.
Then Nathan went to move one of the tubes on the counter and one rolled off and again a broken bulb. We repeat the above process. Dennis is really in a tizzy as once again we have to clean again. No dogs were in the room. I was thinking how could this happen. Then Dennis started taking the old bulbs to wrap them to dispose of them and HE breaks one.
After cleaning, I started in on the front room trying to organize, throw things out that was stored in there when we had pups. It has to go somewhere. We also have club stuff in there and Nathan is no longer the president. He figured 2 terms was enough and I agree. We need to lighten the load not go crazy filling it. So, all that stuff has to be shipped out. I need to tag it and ship it out. It's boxes and boxes of stuff. Oh my. So, it now looks like a war zone. Things do not look pretty when you are midstream trying to clean and organize. I wanted to do my desk first but gee this happens. Hopefully by tomorrow I will make a dent but I am not sure. We have puppy potential people coming and I have a full grooming day. Maybe a late night tonight?
I didn't groom today other than Teddy, Murphy, Logan and Panda.
Dennis is still working on the table and when he is done I have to make room, fill it with my supplies and on to the next thing.
So no gallery... and I am not super human.

That's a lot of OPA in one day!
Your life is never dull. I think everything you do keeps you and Nathan young!
Wow - what a day!
Dennis is so very helpful. But he does deserve some downtime.
And you Darlah do need time to organize the house.
Wish I could help?
Just take your time and don't over do it! It will get done.
I hate days like the one that you, Dennis and Nathan have just experienced. They can be difficult to manage. Thanks Dennis for helping your mom and Dad.
WOW! Sounds like one of those days when you wonder why you even bothered to get out of bed!
The good news ... tomorrow is another day ☺️
Darlah, you are super human. The amount of work you do on a continual basis is incredible. And, with seven children, I imagine you have always worked this hard. Please take some time to look at what you've accomplished more than what you haven't and still have on your plate. We all need to look on the bright side of the rainbow at times just to keep going. Hugs!!
