Shelby Awakening

Shelby is a ten month old Chocolate Labrador who likes to wake everyone up too early in the morning. This morning she woke me at six o'clock. I fed her, did a bit of tidying up and then sat to enjoy a morning cup of tea and a cigarette.


Clint and the kids are still in bed. The house is still a mess from yesterday and I need a least another couple of hours sleep to be able to function at a reasonable level.


It's Boxing Day today. My favourite. I always find Christmas Day a bit stressful. At least we didn't have a turkey disaster like last year. (That involved a mad panic dash to Tesco at 5:30 on Christmas Eve to buy a new turkey). The kids loved all their presents even though we couldn't spend as much on them as their mum. They went to bed tired but happy so a good result in my eyes.


Usually we visit family today but this year we have chosen to stay home. Clint's mum will be round later so I'd better get my arse in gear and clean up this pit. Still, another cup of tea and cigarette won't hurt.
