Too much too long.
It wouldn’t seem like taking care of 4 dogs (3 who aren’t mine) full time would be that big a deal but it is more responsibility than I’m up for.
I know because I have no patience and I start growling and swearing and have to stop myself from yelling at them.
They can’t be kenneled for more than about 5 hours at a time so even if I come back home to recharge, get away, sleep!, I have to go back soon. If I have someting I need to do at different parts of the day I have to drive out there and back twice at least.
I’m not upset that I agreed to do it at the last minute because it *was* an emergency but I am ready for it to end. Their people come back Saturday.
That will give me two days before I have to be at the residential program and start living with unknowns all over again. At least, if I can’t handle the people at the residential facility I can leave.
Right now I want to sob from exhaustion. The quiet in my own place is amazing, I want to curl up in a ball and just be quiet for a while.

/ May 22, 2012Just keep reminding yourself that you’re doing something really nice for somebody else. They wouldn’t call it a sacrifice if it weren’t difficult.
