Well, I am done with work. Thank You GOD! I no longer have to leave things undone at home & miss my family in the evenings, while the hubby plays mr. mom!!!!   What is also great is....No more going to work to put up with inconsiderate, unappreciative, & negative attitudes! That in its self puts a smile on my face. Now I can totally focus on worthwhile, meaningful things that  will be a positive influence on our family 

FYI: Today was originally going to be my last day.. but a friend at work REALLY needed hours & seeing as how I couldn't wait to be done...I gave him my last 2 days... so.. Wedensday evening was my last day..
 I would have blogged sooner however... I really needed to let my brain chill & get back to normal..    PLEASE READ BELOW & YOU'LL Understand Why.....

WELL... some of you who know me well are going to think something is wrong with me.  (if you already don't LOL!)  
Some of you know that ...Typically I am not an emotional, sensitive, or a crying type of person... (my own mother says, "I am just like my dad"...I don't show emotions well & sometimes seem insensitive! ) LOL!  I must admit she is right  

ANYWAYS....all evening at work.. Certain things that I regularly do.. hit me as ...
"WOW!  this is the last time I will ever take the trash down, help take xrays, punch in.." ect. That didn't bother me at all.. It just was odd of me to think of it like that.

 Anyhow....When I went to walk all the dogs for the evening. ...2 of our regular boarding dogs were in. (Molly & Abby) Well over the last year & a half Molly & Abby have grown on me. They are both really nice, sweet, lovable & actually funny dogs (funny = long story)
Well I took them out & it dawned on me... "this is the last time I will ever walk them or see them!" 
When I put them back in their run I got a little choked up. But I still had other dogs to walk so I shook it off quite easily....

Well at 8:00 I was getting ready to leave. So I grabbed my coat n' stuff & looked over at Molly & Abby. They both looked cute as usual.. but yet, sad..   Well I couldn't just leave with out saying one last goodbye......So I went in & told them I love them & I'd really miss them & to be good dogs.. Well... got all choked up AGIAN & also teared up. I gave them a hug & figured I better go before I start bawling like a baby! 

Well when I got home the hubby happily met me down in the driveway. He asked how my last night at work went? I told him, "good." He said, "bet your happy it's over huh?!"
 I said, "yea" (but at the same time...I felt myself choking up & I was trying to keep a normal tone of voice! & trying to think of ANYTHING but Molly & Abby!) Well ...I ended up standing out in the driveway (at 8:30 p.m in the dark!). .. crying like a baby & blubbering to my hubby how "I'm gonna miss Molly & Abby"  He, Chuckled & gave me nice big hug..
I told him, "Your wifey need's help... this is probably stupid of me to be crying over missing dogs!?"
He said, "No it's not stupid! You loved the job because of the animals" . I said, "yea", (still blubbering like a  goofball) Then hubby said, "You know it says alot, & is also sad, when you like the animals better than the people you worked with!"  That made me giggle & blubber at the same time! Because it was sorta funny yet.. It is soooo true! I eventually quit crying & we went inside & talked about other stuff to cheer me up.
Just writing this makes me tear up a bit. I am an "animal person" I have been since I can remember! So do any of you think I'm silly????

Well...  Don't worry I have no regrets about leaving that place at all ! It sorta reminds me of ending a bad/abusive relationship...LOL! (as sad as that sounds) I will always miss the dogs though.
I am looking forward to homeschooling & being a good mother & wife again!  I just figured I'd share my happiness of being done with work for good ...& also my sadness for missing my lil' buddies!

Yea, I was thinking out of 50+ people I work with ... there are only about 14 that I even sorta trusted or like! That is really sad isn't it!  However,...I did get the email addresses of 4 people that I really like so we can all stay in touch. Eventually... I will get over missing my lil' buddies someday.   I'm sure homeschooling & being a good housewife again will keep me PLENTY busy! 

So for my first weekend of freedom I am just going to do whatever I want..... Which will probably be just to relax! or ya never know .. I might get motivated & just tear into a room in the house & re-organize!?  I originally wanted to do stuff outside....even if it was to just sit out on the porch & relax..But it now it got  REALLY cold here & SNOWED!!!!!!!!!!  Tuesday we had absolutly Beautiful weather here! It was 70 degrees & sunny!  I miss it & hope it comes back VERY soon. Well I am going to call it a night ... I'll talk to ya'll later. Please Let me know what you think

Thank You for reading & God Bless,
