Sleep is for the dogs

I began working the night shift on Sunday and have found that adjusting my sleep pattern is not easy. Well, should is say...adjusting my dogs' sleep pattern is not easy. I am adjusting to sleeping during the day, except that I find it odd to be waking up when most other people are getting off of work. The dogs are the biggest battle. I get home at 7 am and take them for a walk...I am usually in bed by 7:45...but they want to be up again at noon. I would get a wonderful 8 hours of sleep if I were not interrupted at noon by three pests wanting to go out. Oh well, at least they give me four hours rest at a whack.

Busy Bee

I have spent most of today cleaning our apartment and I am exhausted. I have been putting off major cleaning since before I went to Vegas and today I wasn't working....so it became time. I even cleaned the oven (it isn't self-cleaning, and I hate it!).

The RSVPs continue to come and we are approximately expecting 100 people for dinner as of today. My bulk order of candle votives from Hobby Lobby came in today as well, so I picked them up and placed a candle in each and returned them to the box. This way they will be ready to go when it is time to decorate for the reception.

Anyone have any suggestions for our first dance? I am so lost with this and cannot decide.

Wedding Bells

My good friend Heather got married this last weekend and I was a bridesmaid. Heather's uncle and my dad were college roommates and knew each other from Minot; Heather's parents also lived next door to my Grandma Anne for a time when we were little and we have remained friends beyond that-thru high school and today.

Change of pace

I have recently been offered and accepted a full-time position at my current location with the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch. I will now be working overnight shifts (11-7) Sunday thru Thursday. I chose this b/c it would allow me to spend more time with Don and have weekends off, as well as give me the health benefits I needed. I start August 24th.

...blah...

I have been either laying in bed or laying on the couch for 2 days...I have been blessed with strep throat...and I am supposed to be in a wedding this weekend...just my luck!

RSVP

The RSVPs are coming in like crazy...I am managing to stay organized up until this point...
