Look Into My Eyes......

Good Morning, Today I bring you the 7 dwarfs all rolled up into one person.  Sleepy, grumpy, happy, bitchy,sneezy, grateful and slow moving.

Since my last day off I've worked over 60 hours, on my feet, up and down stairs, flying out the door after drivers, dodging customers, carrying buckets, yielding knives.


I have several alarming bruises and abrasions on my body, just enough to decide to postpone a massage for another time.  I look like a over the hill boxer or a junkie in training.

But it's done and over and I was graced with today off which takes me out of the line of fire for The Complaints.

Just to give you an indication of our level of exhaustion yesterday by 4:00pm the word potty sent us into gales of hysterical laughter.  Please don't tell anyone I told you this.  Seriously, potty, so we said it whenever possible.



Our housekeeper will be here in about an hour so I'm straightening up so she can clean up.  Then what?  Maybe down the hill for a new book and magazine, maybe a treat.  Then home for a nap.  Right now the Lab and I can't seem to leave the bedroom.  It's sunny and calm, no phones ringing, clean sheets on the bed.  You are getting very sleepy......

  1. poor thing!
    I'd rush out in semi-jammies, get myself a treat or two then I'd be right back in that sunfilled bedroom under my clean sheets ~ and wouldn't think twice about it!

  4. I took today off also - feeling very creaky!! You know, we always had to 'clean' the house before the "Ladies" came to clean it. Looked about as spotless as yours! Thanks again for all the fun the last three days, loved it. G.

  6. Sarah, Thanks that's all the permission need. BUT I have to wait for housekeeper to come and leave. Grrr

    Sherri B., Thanks I think all the thoughts helped, it was a pretty fun day considering the craziness.

    Janet, I don't want to. It looks clean already, right? Maybe I'll put a sign on the door to come again another day!

    Gwen creaky exactly! Do your knees hurt when you have to go to the potty? Sorry, just cracking myself up over here. Thanks for the full time help and all the laughs! xo

    Sue, She probably will, I loaned her to another neighbor and she's been there ALL morning. Sheesh, might as well be in Canada.

  7. Would you get your colleagues to transcribe The Complaints for us so that we may read them? Your customers are like none other, you see, and are bound to teach us a certain sidelong approach to life.

  12. Hi Jane,

    I am guessing you are pretty spent by now. I thought about you over the holiday, every time I saw flowers in fact! By the way, your home is way too clean and organized, it makes me hold my head in shame when I look at this post!
