Much to my relief my work day at the beauty salon was almost over. There was chaos from the moment I stepped through the door that morning. The phone was ringing and a lady was sitting in the waiting room that said she had an appointment at 9:00 AM. Her appointment was not in the book.

My 9:00 o’clock appointment was late, so I said I would take her. All the operators were busy working on their patrons. I shampooed and started to set her hair when my regular patron showed up. clearly dissatisfied that she had to wait.

That was the beginning of that stressful day.

I drove home at the end of my work day and parked the car in the driveway. Then I proceeded to walk over to the neighbor’s to pick up Susie. Susie just turned two. we walked back to our house together.

As we approached the house I could hear Caesar barking in the backyard, he was happy we were home. I fixed his food and took it out to him, and for once he didn’t pee on my shoes, which he always did when he was happy to see you,.

Now it was time to cook dinner. Mac and cheese and a side dish of peas were Susie’s favorite; that was a quick meal and I went with it! After we ate dinner it was bath time for Susie which she loved and then into her pajamas. I laid her down in her crib then kissed her good night and closed her door ever so gently.
