FRIDAY!

It's Friday! I am counting down the minutes til 3pm and I start vacation... Yesterday went so fast at work, I couldn't believe it... I scanned the floor for the reports for men's shoes and athletic shoes... and then I stocked the Wolverine work boots... Spent two hours and forty five minutes opening boxes til I pulled myself away to go to lunch at 2:15.... Came back and opened boxes til 5pm when it was time to go home... I could have kept going, I was on a roll, and I still have over a weeks worth to open... It was not even busy with customers til about 11am... I'm hoping today everyone is leaving on their long weekend, so I can get lots more boxes opened, as it is just me and supervisor all day today...
Then when we get home today we are coloring Easter eggs...
Son2 watched Quarantine yesterday, bad movie, so going back in the mail without hubby and I having to watch it... We tried to watch My Name is Bruce, a spoof on Evil Dead and Bruce Campbell... I was expecting bad, but we like Bruce Campbell but it was way badder then I thought it would be, so we fast forwarded through most of it... Watched CSI NY, Bones, and CSI and then we were all asleep... I still need to watch Yes, Man with son2 and we have A Haunting in Georgia to watch, hopefully it will be a good scary movie... Can't find any good scary movies anymore...
Now I am off to get ready for work and get the boys up and moving and start the dishwasher...
Happy Journaling...

Thursday...

I so look forward to Wednesday with all my plans of my day off and then I get to Wednesday evening and get grumpy.... grrrr... lol... I just have to get through this morning at work and then I think this afternoon and tomorrow will go quick... Friday I get off at 3pm and then I am on vacation for a week... Yay.... but then that will really go quick...
I sent son1 three text messages about his taxes and Easter but he never answered back... I can't help him with his taxes if he won't talk to me... and the only day I really have to do them is Saturday, as I am at work Thursday and Friday, Sunday is Easter, Monday we are going to the beach and Tuesday they need to be in the mail... So who knows what he is thinking...
Son2 is grumpy and bored on his spring break... I don't get why he only sees his friends at school... or that he has a whole room full of stuff but he rather bicker with son3 all day... and I am getting grumpy with him over this cheerleading thing... I don't want to make it about the money and say no, I want him to see that he is not qualified and not try out... I only signed the paper cause I didn't think he would make it since he doesn't have any gymnastic skills but then he is a guy trying out and who knows what the qualifications are... he was looking online yesterday on how to do a front flip... shouldn't you know how to do a cartwheel or handstand at least... poor son2, I don't want to be rude to him but can't he find something else that he likes to do... maybe I should bribe him with cable TV, that would be cheaper... bad mom.....
Son3 is loving his spring break... back and forth between computer games and video games and movies... told him next week we are reading books....
OK I am off to do the dishes, get ready for work and get the boys up and moving...
64 degrees today with rain tonight...
Happy Journaling...

Raining...

The rain finally came in yesterday while I was driving home from work... By 9pm we had lightning and it rained all night through this morning til just about an hour ago the sun came out... there is a slight breeze with a high of 61 degrees...

The boys slept in til 10am this morning... Hubby was off to work before 7am and I have been off and on the computer ever since and it is now almost 1:30pm... A nice relaxing day off with no school for the boys... Son3 is playing zoo tycoon and son2 is unloading the dishwasher... He is hoping for a turn on the Internet while I am flying through the house getting all my chores done in one hour before hubby gets home, lol... I did put three pork tri tip roasts in the crock pot with a herb marinate... and the ham is now out of the freezer and thawing in the fridge so I can cook it on Saturday... I am also showered and dressed and I did a load of laundry... I was going to wash all the bedding but not enough laundry soap, oh darn... I even went outside for a bit and took pictures of the roses and clouds... All my email is cleared and I am all caught up on facebook... still need to catch up reading blogs but I have all day Saturday for that... and I'll be on vacation all next week for blogging time and spring cleaning... I just remembered I need to boil the eggs so we can color them on Friday.... And son1 text son2, something about taxes.... He better hurry and bring me his papers...

Work went really fast yesterday and yes, we were way busy with me all alone all morning... by time I went home at 5pm we had sold 96 pairs of shoes, mostly women's and kids for Easter... I was safely stocking Reebok in the athletic shoes, no one over there... then after lunch I opened boxes... I was going to do more stocking on Thursday and Friday but I think I will just open boxes both days since I will not be there all next week... Tomorrow I'll be alone in the morning again til the supervisor comes in and I can go to lunch...

Last night we watched Castle and Fringe... I don't even remember falling asleep... Son2 stayed up late watching Yes, Man with Jim Carey... I have the supervisor hooked on reading Twilight now, lol, she finished Twilight in a weekend and had to run right out and buy New Moon... She watched the movie like ten times already... She says it's all she can think about, just finishing the books... It's obsessive... lol... I said good, now you know how I felt for five weeks...

I'm off to clean the kitchen and clear the dining room table, put the laundry in the dryer, boil the eggs, straighten the family room and vacuum...

Happy Journaling...

Working...

It was 84 degrees here yesterday... I came home from work and turned on the air conditioner... Today it is only 67 with rain this afternoon and tonight... crazy weather...
Sunday was a quick day at work... Set the ad, lunch and open a few boxes and home by 1:30pm... So me and hubby went to Target to finish up shopping for the Easter Bunny... and to the grocery store for a few essentials and the fried chicken family pack from the deli... It was so good... I got all the April cards signed and sealed to go out in the mail on Monday... And we watched Stardust with the boys and then everyone was off to bed and hubby and I watched CSI which was the 200th episode and a weird one they picked plus it was mostly the new guy with everyone else just having a few seconds of screen time here and there...
Monday I was off to work 9-5pm... It was a long day... Not slow but I was working and working and working and it still wasn't time to go home... I stocked all the new styles of men's/women's work boots, that took all morning, back and forth from the stockroom to the sales floor... Went to lunch... Had planned to clear the hall of all the new boxes but just as I was half way done, they filled it back up with more... So cleared it back down by half and then it was finally time to go home...
Came home to find the yards all mowed and edged, sprinklers replaced and repaired, the boys playing computer games and hubby asleep on the couch... So I jumped on the computer for a few until hubby woke up and then we had left over chicken and watched half of Pirates of the Caribbean 3... Son2 went to bed to watch Twilight one more time before it goes back in the mail today and son3 went to bed watching Sinbad... And we were all asleep by 10pm...
Now I need to get the boys up and dressed and breakfast... Get a jump start on the dishes... and then another long day of work... Just me all morning til the supervisor comes in... We were not busy yesterday with all the kids out of school and Easter coming, so I hope they are not all waiting til this morning when I am all alone... My plan is to get all the men's and women's Reebok out, go to lunch and then back on opening boxes...
Wednesday is my day off!! Yay!!

Thoughts...

The boys are on Spring Break for two weeks...

After this coming week I will be on vacation for a week...

Son2 is making a chocolate cake but having a little trouble...

The taxes are done...

I cleaned the master bathroom today...

Son2 still wants to tryout for cheerleading... The first meeting is April 23rd... The tryout clinic is April 29th... Tryouts are May 2nd... It's $1000 if he makes it...

We finally watched The Miracle Worker...

We are watching Twilight tonight...

I finally got the fixtures torn down at work, so I now have a new staging area for the receiving boxes instead of in the hallway...

With Mervyn's, Circuit City and Gothchalks closing, our sales have been good... A couple of weekend days we were 30% above our goal...

I have stopped taking St. John's Wort... I was having heart palpitations and they have since stopped...

Vitamin D makes one constipated... I only take it three times a week now instead of every day...

Hormones make women evil...

I have no patience for customer service...

Lent did not go well... I only wanted to let go of some control issues... To not tell the supervisor what to do or complain... To not remind hubby and the boys of every little thing for just forty days...

Hormones make women evil... did I say that already...

Hubby's work may be changing his schedule again back to 9-6pm... So I would go back to 7-3pm...

If I would have continued with crunches since last year... I was doing so well for three months... five months later, nothing...

I'm always cold... I'm never cold...

Weather is weird this year... Wind, rain, 70*, 80*, 60*...

Roses are blooming...

Laundry is almost done... need to wash all the bedding though...

Dishes are waiting...

April cards are waiting to be mailed...

Bills are waiting to be paid...

Taxes are done... I feel so relaxed now that they are done...

I'll be making a ham next Saturday for Easter...

We're going to the zoo on Easter... I wonder if son1 can come...

We're going to Monterey the Monday after Easter...

Sears is open for Easter day, that is why I take vacation...

I'm making chicken with veggies in onion soup mix with scalloped potatoes and broccoli rice for dinner tonight...
