Friday...

What a slow day... Thought it would never be time to get off work... I've been going straight to work after dropping off son3 but having to wait forty minutes til work started, so I read my book... Today I stocked the women's athletic shoes, went to lunch, stocked more women's athletic shoes, organized the women's athletic shoes in the stockroom and opened a few boxes and then finally it was time to go home... Even the drive home took forever...
Hubby had put enchiladas in the oven for dinner... so fixed some beans and quesadillas to go with them... Then we watched Outlander... about a dragon from space... and Vikings... Son1 and Pistol were off at friend's house all day... now the movie is over... Pistol is back and son1 is back at friend's... son2 and son3 are showering and getting ready for bed...
I'm watching the new show Glee, that I thought was premiering on the 9th, but this is some sort of twitter special cause they are twittering live and it is covering half the television screen...
I almost have a three day weekend... We are all off Saturday... I just work in the morning on Sunday to set the ad, but hubby has to work til 6pm... and I'm off on Monday with the boys but hubby has to work on Monday...
Now I think it is time for bed early tonight so we can make good use of tomorrow....
Hubby is rescanning the TVs, with this silly digital you lose channels so easily...
Happy Journaling...

Thursday...

I did it! I blogged a whole week... I'm back... lol... I'm watching the season finale of Supernatural... the new season starts next Thursday! Son2 and son3 are in bed for the night... Son1 is watching a movie with girlfriend... and hubby is showing girlfriend is artwork of dragons he has been drawing... He was watching Supernatural with me...
Work was good today... A little busy for a Thursday... I stocked the men's Athletic shoes, went to lunch, took a training test, talked with supervisor, reorganized the men's athletic shoes in the stockroom and opened boxes...
Hubby had homework just about done with son3 when I got home and make chicken for dinner... but then we played with Holly the cat and son3... Son3 got a little carried away though and was taunting Holly and she slapped his face... scratches didn't show up til later though but they should be gone by morning... Son2 was on the computer looking up info for a bet he made with his friend, more of a debate, so he was looking for his proof of why he was right, lol... Son1 was off helping friend A work on his truck and stayed for dinner there...
After dinner I loaded the dishwasher and washed the pots and pans... son3 did his chores and took a shower...
Hubby is back watching Supernatural and he brought brownies and here we are...
A very fast day today... The fish are doing good, settling in... son2 is charge of feeding them... I'm off to eat a brownie...

Wednesday

I was off today... Got hubby off to work, son2 off to school and then son3... I found out today that hubby came home from work early yesterday since he was sick.... He's all better today though and back to his loud talking self... lol... I did three loads of laundry, the dishes, washed the pots and pans and played on the laptop, reading blogs... I also went out and got some pictures of the roses and noticed that the Crepe Myrtle was full of bees.... you could hear a loud roar of a hum... I had fried eggs and ham with cheese on sourdough for breakfast... Son1 got up about 11am and made some scrambled eggs with mustard... He and girlfriend watched The Haunting and Signs last night... He and I had a good chat this morning about this and that... Then he was off to get the exhaust fixed on the new Mustang so he can get it smogged...
and I was off to pick up son3... he was all sweaty from the 100 degree temps so threw him in the shower... then he had three math pages and two English pages of homework... then study his flash cards... he forgot his library book to do his reading... while he was doing homework I made chocolate chip cookies, brownies, put dinner in the oven, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook... we were done in an hour and a half... hubby spends two hours on homework and still not done and son3 doesn't let him do anything, lol...
Then son1, son2 and hubby all got home around the same time... dinner was almost ready but son1 and son2 wanted to run to Walmart... they ended up also at PetSmart and then back to Walmart...


A couple of days ago son1 and son2 started talking about getting fish again... son2 had set the fish tank up in the bathroom a couple of years ago and it had sat there empty of water but with decorations and a plastic lizard in it... The last time we had fish son3 was born and they all died cause I wasn't home to take care of them, cause I was in the hospital having son3, lol...


So we have a sucker fish, that's him in the cave...


And three tiny goldfish... We got Bedknobs and Broomsticks from Netflix today that I put in but son3 keeps running to check on the fish... they are much more interesting... Son1 is off at friend's house and son2 has homework to do for Geometry... Hubby and I are taking pictures of the moon from the dining room table through the window but now it is getting too dark in the house... Now it's time to clean up from dinner and get ready for work tomorrow...

Tuesday

Today was a nice quiet day at work... I reset the men's shoe displays, printed out missing sale signs for men's and athletic shoes and almost finished opening all the boxes, just six left by the end of the day, but we got a truck today so there will be more on Thursday... While I was upstairs picking up some reports I ran into son1 in HR... he was filling out his paperwork for being hired for automotive tech at my store... he still has to wait for the background check and what not, but by next week he should be starting training... Yay!! He and girlfriend went out to dinner at In and Out and now they are picking out a scary movie to watch, but they are too scared to watch it, lol, so they may end up with their usual comedy...
Son2 is online watching Trauma to the Groin on YouTube... He didn't have any homework tonight... Son3 has finished his homework and is getting ready for bed... He passed his 3x today... Yay! now we are on to 4x...
Hubby is feeling better as he is more talkative today but still mopey and whiney...
There is nothing on TV... maybe I'll look for a movie or just go to bed early... I'm tired... but first I'm munching on a milky way candy bar...
Can't believe it is the first day of September already... still 100 degrees here today and tomorrow... then we will see the 90's the rest of the week...
Tomorrow is my day off... What shall I do....
OK I've put in War of the Roses... son3 is watching Tom and Jerry, son1 and girlfriend are watching The Haunting, hubby is watching something on PBS and son2 is getting ready for bed..... since he has to get up the earliest...


Happy Journaling...

Monday...

Today was kinda of a waste of a day... four people called out of work yesterday and one called out today... the supervisor was complaining she didn't feel well either... so I wasn't very motivated to work, and I had made a list of goals for the day... I did scan the displays for men's and athletic, stocked some of the men's work boots, and traded out the men's flip flop displays with the women's and then I went to lunch... and then after lunch just opened boxes... we have all the fall boots, snow boots and kids slippers in and it's just September tomorrow...
then HR called me for son1's cell phone number so they could call him for an interview today but I didn't have his cell phone number on me... so they left a message on the house phone that he doesn't check?.... the auto manager has his application with his cell phone number on it, don't understand why he isn't calling son1 himself... I know he has openings... son1 said he would call tomorrow and reschedule...


Then when I got home hubby was sick with a tummy ache, so he got no sympathy since so many had already dropped the ball all day, lol.... poor hubby... he had finished homework with son3... son2 is working on his English homework... I told everyone that dinner was whatever they wanted... son2 had cereal... son3 had leftover scrambled eggs, hash browns, corn on the cob and a doughnut... I had leftover cube steak, corn on the cob and baked beans... son1 is off with friends...


Son1 did however finish this side of the fence... he just needs to put a finishing coat of color on it...


Ignore the garbage cans, lol... and we are having extra garbage pick up this week so everyone is driving through the neighborhoods in their trucks scavenging...


Son3 doing his recycable chores....


I finished my Nora Roberts Dreaming trilogy book today... So very good!!!
Now the dishes are done, son3 is settled in bed watching his Avengers cartoon... son2 had wandered off to watch the cartoon too and not finished with his homework yet... I'm watching reruns on TV, can't wait til the new shows start... I'm tired though and will go to sleep early tonight... didn't even want to wake up this morning at 6am... we've been staying up too late til 11pm the past month...

Happy Journaling...

Weekend...

I am home from work... Got the ad set up and opened some boxes... Sunday is my easy day... Son3 has been watching HellBoy cartoons all day... Son2 has been helping son1 and playing his Oblivion computer game... Son1 has been very busy... Vacuumed the house, did the dishes, took the Goodwill to Goodwill, did three loads of his laundry, cleaned his room, worked on the fence in the front yard and is now watching a movie with girlfriend... Hubby should be home from work in an hour or so... We went grocery shopping yesterday and got corn on the cob for 10cents ea... boiled it yesterday but we had pizza and beans and chips... So I will be making cube steak to go with the corn in just a bit....


My roses are finally blooming again... Yay.... It's 104 right outside right now though...


Yesterday I got in a bit of a cleaning mood finally and washed all the pots and pans... Wiped down the island... Cleaned out the island cupboard of all the small appliances and got rid of a couple and organized the ones back in so they are easy to get to now... Washed the rugs and swept the kitchen floor... It needs washing but everyone was in and out all day yesterday....


Son1 has still been his social self but has been more attentive to his responsibilities too... He sold some old car parts he had and was able to do some repairs on the new car... He has a couple more parts listed on Craig's List and if they sell he can replace the turn single light covers in the front and finish fixing the exhaust...


Son1 asked hubby yesterday if he could build the fence that we started planning six years ago and hubby hadn't got to yet... We already had the posts and cement, so for $40.oo the fence rails and brackets were bought and yesterday son1 started measuring for the plans for the fence.... It's going to have a country style look.. more for decoration than keeping anything in the yard... It will deter people from cutting through our yard however, especially when we put up all the decorations at Halloween... and I can put decorations on it at Christmas... That's his new white car in the background...


Pistol and son2 were helping too.... Son2's back is better and he will be going back to school tomorrow...




Today I came home to three of the posts cemented in.... He is waiting for them to dry that is why he is watching movie with girlfriend... He's hoping by 6pm they'll be somewhat set...


Hubby was also doing projects yesterday... He built a shelf to put his computer on....


But ended up coming up with a different idea and rearranged the whole computer/drafting table and used his new shelf for computer books instead... lol....


Holly was just relaxing yesterday...


This the new pen hubby and son1 made for Pistol in the backyard...

I have now done three loads of my laundry... I need to water the houseplants, wash the pots and pans we dirtied last night making dinner, update the checkbook and get dinner started for tonight....

Happy Journaling...
