A New Blog Endeavor....



I am very excited to announce a new blog that I have the honor of being a part of.... Myself and three other bloggers have started a new blog called The Motivation Station... Between jobs, kids, husbands, computers, cleaning, shopping, cooking, sleeping and life in general; we all need a little motivation to get it all done... So with the help of all of you we'd like to share in the daily grind of getting it all done and then some....
So please join us over at The Motivation Station to share in our weekly challenges and all get a little motivated....

Happy Journaling...

~Busy Thursday~



I hurt every where!
I got to work this morning and the supervisor had left the wrong section for the morning associates to count, they were counting the women's shoes... I opened all the boxes for athletics this week since they would be counting athletics... so when I got there I had to go through over 1oo boxes of shoes of which about 60 were full of women's shoes... we were able to get it done in half an hour before they had to go home...
Then it was just me til 5pm today... supervisor came in at 2pm but she had to work the report from the counting...
So I started moving all the men's workboots on the salesfloors... I got about a third of the way done... but my arms hurt, my hip hurts, my legs hurt... fortunately it was Thursday so except for a mad rush at about 2:30 we were not busy today...
Hopefully I will finish tomorrow but it is a short day getting off at 1:30...
Hubby was busy after work today.... He finished homework with son3 and then had to go pick up son1... he has been having trouble with his car battery... so they ended up buying a new battery... son1 was busy at work too actually working on cars; three tire rotations, two oil changes, two tire changes, and a battery change, and a battery test, and then unloaded the truck of 300 tires...
Now I have thrown the leftovers out of the fridge on the counter and made some chicken salad sandwiches or if you just want cereal... which is what son2 and son3 had...
Now I have fifteen minutes and the premiere of Bones and Fringe are coming on... and I will tape Vampire Diaries and Supernatural... but first have to get son3 in the shower and bed... and girlfriend is over for son1 so they will watch his tv... and son2 is off talking with his friends on the phone...
So I'm off to eat my chicken salad sandwich and get busy....



Happy Journaling...

Wednesday Glee



Glee comes on tonight...

Two weeks of the fish tank and only one fish left, barely hanging on though... They got the Ich parasite... This is why I didn't want to have fish again... at least son2 is old enough this time around to study up on how to take care of the fish... his first learning experience: sterilize the items going into the tank does not mean rinse them under hot water, it means boil them in boiling water... I did not help them with the initial set up so did not supervise the instructions... So this weekend he will sterilize the tank correctly, the last fish will be gone by then... poor fish... I also found a larger kit at Walmart to treat and test the water with that we will invest in and the Ich medicine so the fish don't get the parasite...
Son1 and I were both off today from work... he worked on his transmission on his car and is now working on his brakes...
I got hubby off to work and son2 and son3 off to school... cleaned up the computer that the boys use online, it keeps coming up with a hard drive error... watched an episode of Emergency and paid the bills... cleaned out a junk drawer... ordered all the goodies for the trick or treaters using my Cricket rebate gift card, ordered the tickets for the Zoo Boo (trick or treating at our zoo), figured out how to pay son3's lunch account online, did son2's laundry, homew0rk with son3, and made cube steak for dinner that is just about ready...
Didn't get to wash the floors or vacuum and still have to put the laundry away...
Hubby is home from work and in a better mood today... he was still grumpy yesterday as he didn't feel well for some reason.... I was trying to ignore him as I was in a good mood... can we ever be in a good mood at the same time, lol... So I ended up watching The Biggest Loser, they kept crying so I kept crying... At work I finished working all the women's clearance shoes to the clearance racks, they were selling faster then I could fill them... and I got all the athletic shoe boxes opened so they can count them tomorrow... our visitors can come as early as next week and I still need to move the entire men's shoe department in the correct order... and we all need to finish redoing the displays to the correct way... I've been in shoes five years and finally we have learned the correct way to display the shoes...
Son1 finished all his computer training at work and tomorrow he starts on the floor, so I won't see him now as he'll be out in the automotive building... right now he is off meeting with someone buying something of car parts or such that son1 had on Craig list...
Pistol has been a bad boy today and is digging up my rock garden, my alligator is not scaring him off... he has discovered all the plastic under the rocks, so he is ripping up the plastic and then barking at it as he finds it around the yard... silly dog...
So I had my Klondike bar on Monday night, I'd never had one before... it's just an ice cream sandwich but round... It wasn't very good, ice cream sandwiches taste better... Hubby bought me It's Its today, those are really good...
Ok gotta go get dinner started as it has been ready and everyone is just sitting around watching TV... Star Trek Next Generation now comes on every day at 6pm but we keep missing it, so maybe today... it's my favorite Star Trek with Captain Picard... Make it so... and then get everyone settled in for the night so I can watch Glee....
Happy Journaling...

*Sunday*Monday*



My new crow I got to go with my scarecrows...
Today is Monday, right, the days are starting to run together...
I found out yesterday that the sucker fish died... hubby said the tank was too clean and he had nothing to eat... is that true... so I guess we should wait til we've had the fish awhile before getting another sucker fish....
Son2 after watching 2Fast and 2Furious said that it didn't have much to do with the first one, so he skipped the third one and watched the fourth one...
didn't we try to tell him...
I can't remember yesterday... I've had a headache the last two nights and then this afternoon...
I did work yesterday from 6-2pm...
Hubby was very grumpy after he got home from work, he had a bad day...
I went to bed early...
Son1 had girlfriend over to watch movies...
Son1 finally went to work today and started his training... however he is not home yet and got off work long ago, guess he is off with friends...
And it rained last night and even this morning as I was driving to work, I had to use the windshield wipers... I can't believe it...
Today at work: I scanned all the shoe divisions for missing displays, worked the women's clearance shoes into the clearance racks, went to lunch and opened boxes... Was just me til 3pm today...
Found out today we are having more VIP's coming...
Tons of processes to work for the visit with no hours...
Hubby was in a better mood today...
Son3 got all his homework done...
Son2 still needs to take his homework more seriously and get his chores done if he ever wants to do anything with his friends again...
Wolverine comes out tomorrow on DVD...
Hubby asked what I would do for a Klondike Bar...
Told him I would finish my blog entry... lol...
