Merry Christmas 2005

Well, another Christmas has come and gone. I hope that if you celebrate Christmas, it was WONDERFUL for you! Or if you don't celebrate it, that whatever holiday you do celebrate you enjoyed it as well!

The last 2 days at work were super crazy. On Friday December 23rd, it was the busiest day at the store ever. We had well over $7000 in sales AND we did 107 washes! Our previous record came in last February and it was 91 washes. So, needless to say, Friday was busy. It was so busy that Hubby escaped from his work a few hours early to come over and help us out by running the cash register! I worked the entire day. I opened the store at 9am, and then I stayed to close it and we didn't get out of there until 9pm! Uugh, what a day!

Christmas Eve was pretty busy as well. Not as crazy as the day before, but still crazy. At one point the wait for a tub (for a dog wash) was 30 minutes! Thankfully it really started to quiet down about 3:30pm. So, I was able to escape a few minutes early!

After I got home, we packed up the Jeeps and the dogs and the gifts and headed to my parents' house. We spent the night down there, and on Christmas Eve we had a delicious dinner.

The dogs woke me up at their usual time to go out and then eat. So, we were up at 7:15am. I took them outside, then fed them breakfast and then got the house up! Bristol went into Suzi and Zak's room, and Buddy went in to wake up Nana. They finally got up and moving and I think we started opening gifts around 8:30am(ish). We broke mid-morning for breakfast. And we finished all gifts and stockings around 2pm. Hubby, the 3 pups and I took a nap while dinner was in the oven. For some strange reason, I have been exhausted recently. Could it be the 12 hour days I have been doing at work recently?

We had a delicious dinner and after dessert we packed everything back up again, and headed for home. The puppies are exhausted, as they had lots of fun! They are all currently wiped out and I am not far behind.

Well, the pups are going outside for their last time, so I guess I will end here!

Merry Christmas everyone!
