I am very sad today, as it was my last day at Greenwood. With the current parenting schedule of Craig having the kids every other Thursday evening through Monday morning, I couldn't justify me having to get a sitter on my Sundays with the kiddos to go volunteer all afternoon. When I told Lindsey, I started crying. I cried all the way home. I am crying right now writing this.
My farewell gift was getting to feed a baby raccoon for the first time. I think my favorites over the past year, however, were the birds. Today we had a room full of babies who needed feeding every hour. The majority were your everyday birds (house finches, house sparrows, starlings), but we did have three nestlings who were unusual Greenwood visitors - baby meadowlarks. They were adorable!
I guess not all is lost. I will stay on the volunteer newsletter that lists shifts needing help, so if a time fits my schedule, I can go in then. Hopefully, once this crappy divorce is over, I can fit Greenwood back into my life because: 1. I had no idea I'd be this upset over leaving, so I obviously love working there; and 2. it's important for Cody and Tara to see the value of being a volunteer. So, to compensate for my loss, I think I'll start hiking again. Anyone know of some good trails near Loveland?

That's too bad you had to leave that place. I hope things get sorted out in a way that you can go back.
