Hubby’s Birthday June 28th…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang the best. Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you are, work with whatever is at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you are loved and you are not alone. Even when you feel alone, know that you are surrounded by divine love. Like God, love is not visible, but that does not mean it is not there. You are loved.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be. You keep wanting to know how things will play out, keep asking to see the future. God doesn't give anyone the power to know the future, because life becomes maddeningly boring when you know everything upfront. So, instead of struggling, enjoy the uncertainty - to be alive means to not know.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you are not to shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find and keep. The quickest way to find love is to give love. If you want it too badly, you will not find it. The most secure way to keep love is to give it space and care to grow. If you hold it too tightly, you will lose it.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that recession is also a time of great opportunity. Time and time again success has its roots in failure, because failure knocks you down from top of the hill so you can then climb a mountain. Yes it's unsettling, yes it's scary. But this can be your greatest opportunity in life, - if you choose it. The recession has cleared the space of clutter, - think what have you always wanted to do but brushed aside from the top of your hill? Now is the time...

June Twenty Fifth

Another week gone by and I have not felt organized enough to post… Or by time I get to posting on my list, another day is over…

Pictures are from our trip to Monterey/Pacific Grove… Still more to come…

I close at work today and tomorrow… Day off not til Wednesday…

The boys are enjoying their summer vacation video gaming and watching movies… Have to remind them to shower and get dressed once a week… lol…

Son1 is busy as ever; work, girlfriend, friends, Jeep, never sits still…

Hubby is still not liking his new job but has brought in one client so far… Having to do the job from home as his work has no programs on the work computers in which to do the things they hired hubby to do…

Hubby is making pancakes, then time to get ready for work…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you do not see things as they are. You see them as you are. When you look, you see reflections of your being. When you listen, you hear echoes of yourself. If you don't like something about what you see and hear, no point in smashing the mirror, change who you are becoming.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you are to let grace flow freely from your heart. Think back over the last few days, - how many times have you felt appreciation towards another? How many times have you thought about another: 'what a lovely smile', or 'she is so nice', or 'such a kind man', or any of a myriad of other appreciative thoughts. Did you express them? Did you come up to her and say: 'you are so nice'? And why not? Why did you stop divine grace from flowing freely from your heart? Do you want to change the world to the better? This is it, this is how you start.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that if you could see with the eyes of God, this world would be filled with goodness. Goodness is within you and every living being. Let your goodness shine.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that if you desire something, offer something. Offerings can come in many forms: a gift, a prayer, a smile, flowers, food. Offer something from your heart.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that it's never too late to get back on track. Never has anyone gone so far on the wrong path that they cannot return to the right one. Never has anyone become so wayward that they cannot benefit from the true light.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that there is no such thing as conditional love. Love is either unconditional or it's no love. You might like someone conditional on their personality or behavior or circumstances. But love accepts no boundaries. So never say 'I love you because', for love has no cause, love comes from God.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that work begins when you don't like what you are doing. Little children can do the most amazing things with such joy and fun. You were little once too, and knew how to turn everything into a game. So, turn your work into a game, and you will find joy and satisfaction in it. What are some ways you can start being playful with work?

Happy Journaling…

Vacation is over… It’s back to work today…

I’ve been trying to write an entry all week… But that’s still not going to happen… So I’ll just write a note…

We went to Monterey Saturday and the zoo Sunday… Pictures hopefully coming soon…

 

Son2’s tennis picture… The boys are now on summer break…

Clam Chowder dinner for hubby last night for Father’s Day… and son1 has us hooked on Season One of How I Met Your Mother…

 

On this day, God wants you to know

... that no matter how good you try to be to others, you will occasionally hurt them. Forgive yourself for it. The same will happen with them. Forgive them for it.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you are not alone. God is always with you, seen or unseen, saint or sinner. Giving you air, supporting your footsteps, nourishing you with sunshine, God is here with you. The separateness you sometimes feel is an illusion, in truth you are never alone.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that Love is the most important thing. It's not about how much you have, how much you know, or how much you do. It's about how well you love. Love is what matters most.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that God is there for you to hold on. Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here. Hold on to your faith, even if it's easier to let go. Hold on to God's hand.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that there is no way to happiness, happiness is the way. Happiness does not come from seeking new landscapes, but from having new eyes on the same life you've always been living.

On this day, God wants you to know

... wealth does not come from your bank account, wealth comes from the depth of your heart. What you really want is happiness. You might believe that a fat bank account will get you there, but that's false. Happy people are happy rich or poor, unhappy people are unhappy rich or poor. Money simply masks your real being by giving you activities to occupy your mind. Don't fool yourself, recession or not, your true wealth comes from your heart and is always only there.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that to love is to be vulnerable. Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the isolation by closing down.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you've been missing out on delight that God has sent your way. Think back over the last day, - what could you have taken with delight that you just skipped over?

On this day, God wants you to know

... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging. That's really it, isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish. Which one of these is the more difficult one for you, and how are you going to practice it in the next 24 hours?

Happy Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday… I had to work but hubby put up decorations, bought some cakes, had the boys sign cards, brought home deli chicken for dinner, and bought me a treat or two…

Won’t say how old I am now…

Son1 was generous with the hugs…

And in a silly mood…

Girlfriend, son1, son3 and me…

Making a wish or two…

Hubby and son2…

Maple wasn’t going to miss out on the festivities…

And helped with the opening of presents…

All my Happy Birthday cards and I got 62 Happy Birthdays on facebook… not that I counted…

Very cute tiny gift boxes…

My own flash drive so I don’t have to borrow hubbies and son2’s…

A perfect key chain that says:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; Trust in the Lord from the start; Trust in the Lord every day; Trust in the Lord to guide your way…

And a very pretty purple bookmark that says:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

And a battery for pedometer that I have not worn for months now…

Happy Birthday to me…

Last Day of School!!

Son3 off to school this morning…

Hubby and I went to his award ceremony this morning… and son3 got an award for 3.0 or better grade average…

All my worry of fighting with him to do homework… he stopped participating in the reading program for the last half of the year… I have to tell him how to spell every word when he writes sentences and remind him to put capitals and periods… we never did have the conference with the teacher after Christmas for our concerns…

And he got a B average for the year… Maybe I’m too strict… good thing I’m not the teacher…

Hope he remembers to turn in his library books he still has on the last day of school, that have been in his backpack all month and everyday I tell him to turn them in…

Hubby is home today… He has a tummy ache and is doing training on the computer at home… Not that they are expecting him at work, as he just goes around town handing out pencils, candy and flyers looking for businesses who are in need of copy services… he keeps track of his hours, working four hours or less a day… we are hoping when the owner gets back from disability leave that we will feel better about this new job… that the manager just doesn’t want to deal with hubby as she has her own job to do and doesn’t know what all the owner is expecting as she created hubby’s position… I want to be excited about his new job and I am not… I don’t mind him having a part time $9 an hour job… but one that he can punch in and out at and not continue doing at home on his own computer, using our cars for travel purposes and only getting credit for working one or two hours a day sometimes, as they don’t need him… so we shall give it a bit more time… but I’ll be turning some of the job website alerts back on…

Yes, I passed my certification… I got to work at 8am, found out my boss was expecting me at 6am, would have helped if she would have told me that… the district guy came at 9am… and left at 11:30am… started good, got a bit stressful in the middle, left on a good note… we missed three questions out of 54… would have passed one if I would have faked it instead of being truthful… the second I expected to miss as the stockroom locating did not get finished… and the third was sizing which we would have passed if he wouldn’t have gone in two other areas for two different questions that weren’t sized after he had checked us off for being sized in the areas he checked for the sizing question… actually he was quite kind as several of the questions were iffy in passing and yet he passed us… and I would have agreed with him for the nos… he did say it was a training/coaching certification and not a crucifixion… I’m just glad to start doing my job now on a day by day basis and not a stressful is everything ready for the visit day…

After he left I talked with my associates and fellow co workers all inquiring about the walk thru… finally went to lunch at 12:45… printed out my reports… spent two hours doing the schedule for next week… back downstairs to post the reports… was going to open boxes for an hour but looked at my watch and it was already time to go home… thus the reason that I came in at 8am and not 6am…

Now I’m waiting to go to work as I close tonight… 2-3: check email; 3-6: manager on duty and open boxes; 6-6:45 go to dinner; 7-8: open boxes; 8-10: close store… at least that is my plan… I’m sure I will have lots of interruptions along the way… and work will fly by and I will get hardly anything done…

The kittens are even bigger and can get into more stuff… They can jump up on the kitchen counters now, and are trying to reach all the blind cords no matter how high I put them up, and are getting into the house plants, and keep knocking the dog food bowl over and bat the dog food all around the kitchen, and knock off all our papers off the tables and bat the pens and pencils around… they have lost my brand new roll of 100 stamps that I am still looking for somewhere in the house… But they are oh so cute…

I’m off to get a few chores done before I have to go to work…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that there is no such thing as a problem without a Divine gift hidden within it. You have these problems because you need the gifts they carry within.

Happy Journaling…

June Eighth

We  passed! 94%! We missed three… Today was the fastest day… I’m exhausted… I work tomorrow night… So I’ll have the morning to write a longer entry…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that when the night feels very long, remember that a new day is just around the bend. With each new day we are given new hope, new possibilities, new opportunities. Each new day is a miracle.

Happy Journaling…

June Seventh

It’s almost over…. or is it… only if we pass… we busted our buttes today… of course helpful that we got extra hours and helpers… we’re still no where near perfect… but maybe we will look like we know what we are doing… I still have three more people coming in at 6am as I only have two closers tonight… and then he is coming at 9am… I go in at 8am… have to get my numbers first thing and walk the floor… then walk the floor with him and my boss… 54 questions… can only miss 5… I already know that a couple or three are definitely no’s as we couldn’t get to everything…

Son1 and girlfriend were here for dinner… we watched How I Met Your Mother from season one…

Son2 and son1 have gone for a walk and are working out on the weight system…. and drinking their power shakes…

Son3 went to the water park today and had a blast… he went on seven water slides… and around the lazy river on a tube… and drank sodas… and forgot to have lunch that was provided… of course shouldn’t the teachers have had the kids all meet for lunch to check in at least… he just got a bit of sunburn… he’ll probably crash early tonight… he’s in the shower now… tomorrow he is bringing books to read for Read and Feed day…

I am tired… I still need to clean out my work apron… and go over my list one more time of the questions for the audit… by noon the visit should be over and I can go to lunch… then do my regular work for the month and start the schedule and go home on time… I worked a bit late yesterday and today…

I’m not worried or stressed… kind of scary…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that true faith flowers from and through doubt. If you never questioned your beliefs, - you are just a puppet dancing to somebody's strings. If God had wanted your mindless obedience, you would've been created without mind and without free will. But you have both so you can come to God of your own accord. Just look at the lives of saints, - most of them had gone through a dark night of the soul, and that's why their faith was so strong. The path to true faith always goes through doubt. So ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask, and find the answers, and then your faith will become unshakable.

Happy Journaling…

June Sixth

One more day… til this visit… I’m feeling fine for now… although I did come home with a headache… but a cola and three ibuprofen and dinner and it is gone… I had lots of help today but we are so behind in everything… I had old supervisor and another supervisor… and our boss… a couple of associates from other departments… they will all help again tomorrow… plus I was able to add hours to my associates today and tomorrow… and I worked a half hour overtime today… and we were so busy… we would set a table and then it would be shopped and out of place two minutes after…

Son3 just came in from the shower and brought a tooth that came out… and he says he has another loose tooth… I thought I counted and all his baby teeth were out… but guess I was wrong as this is like the fourth one since then…

Son2 is working on his painting for art class that was due days ago… with only three days of school yet… oops kittens running across the table and his painting…

Son1 is no where to be seen… probably with girlfriend…

Hubby is not liking his job very well… actually he had a good day and is doing the job… but not what he would like to be doing… he is mostly out the whole time being a sales man of pushing copies… he doesn’t even punch in and out but tracks his time and miles driven… of course the owner is still out on leave and the manager doesn’t really know what to do with hubby… told him he could still keep looking for a job while doing this one…

We watched a couple of episodes of Angel… the boys are bickering… son3 had me up at 3am with a bad dream and I didn’t really get back to deep sleep thinking about work… so tired and thinking of ice cream and reading my book… son3 is off to bed to watch his TV… and hubby and I will probably fall asleep to Twilight Zone again…

Did I mention only one more day…………….

On this day, God wants you to know

... that today you have a cause for celebration. Today, you should celebrate what an unbelievable life you have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make you stronger. Just as a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor can a life be perfected without trials. Take a time to acknowledge your life and to praise yourself.

Happy Journaling…

June Fifth

Two more days til the visit… I’m actually doing fine today… we are working the best we can and that is all we can do… see what we can do the next two days… my boss actually told me today she was finding me some help from within the store… so have at least one extra associate tomorrow til she finds more… and my old supervisor will be helping… of course we have been torn up from the weekend again so will start from the beginning again tomorrow…

I have learned a few things… one being maybe we should have just done business as usual instead of trying to get ready for the visit the last two weeks… especially since we are more behind now anyway… and of course we probably wouldn’t have been all stressed out… also learned a bit more about each of the associates and how I will assign tasks… and scheduling… I can’t wait to be on vacation next week but then so much to still do at work after the visit… one day at a time…

Last week of school for the boys… son3 has game day tomorrow and is bringing the Pirates of the Caribbean Life game… Tuesday is the water park field trip… Wednesday is reading day, they are to bring books, magazines, comic books and snacks… Thursday is the last day and yearbook signing day… son2 has finals but a couple of classes he is already done with… like Geometry, he got the highest grade in the class and doesn’t have to take the final…

We had leftover lasagna and salad for dinner… son1 was here and borrowed season one of How I Met Your Mother so we watched a couple of episodes… so funny… especially Neil Patrick Harris….

Rain stopped for today… but clouds are moving in and windy with 70% chance of rain again tonight…

Need to get the boys and the kittens settled in for the night… and have some ice cream and watch Twilight Zone with hubby… we fell asleep last night while watching…

And as soon as this visit is over if not now… I am back on my weight loss… I have gained three pounds the past week on top of the eight pounds I gained at Christmas that I have been trying to lose to get back to my 33 pound weight loss…

The rain has started already and it is lightening and thundering…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that you will get back to solving all the wrongs in a moment, - how about taking a moment to treasure what is right. All too often we focus so intently on solving the problems, that we forget to zoom out and celebrate what is good in our life already.

Happy Journaling…

June Fourth

I am off today… and it has been raining all day… all three boys have been on video games all day… girlfriend is over now and son1 is getting ready to go out to see Bridesmaids and dinner… I have lasagna in the oven for me, hubby and son2 and son3… now to decide what we will watch tonight…

Hubby and I took a ride to his new job to pick up his paycheck… then we stopped at the Sears near there to check on their shoe department as they also have a visit this week… they are so tiny though compared to my store… I’m sure they will be ready as I only saw a couple of things that needed fixing and they still have four days in which to do it… hubby found another dress shirt while we were there…

Then we stopped at my store… hubby understands what I mean now when I say the customers just leave the shoes all over the floor and don’t put anything away… I only have three days til the visit and we have A LOT to fix… and hubby found a dress shirt while we were there too…

My attitude has changed once again however and I am enjoying my day off…

Friday night I tried very hard to get things done in shoes but everything that could go wrong or take me away did… my full timer called out in the day… and one of my closers called out at night… the computers were freezing up and it took forever to print my reports and schedule… I was manager on duty from 3-6 and was called all over the store… After dinner I tried helping the closer in shoes clean up but I had to do store closing duties and had problems with one duty that caused me to get behind in that the store was closed and I wasn’t done yet… then I was going to help my shoe associate again as we stay an hour after closing and we usually get done with procedures a half hour before we leave but I was stuck as another department took until the last minute to turn in their department so it was time to go home… So I have heard God loud and clear that I am not in control, He is and I can only do my best… We have three days and all my associates are constantly working between helping customers and cleaning… plus old supervisor is helping for two days… I just want it to be over! and I don’t want him to come back for months so we can get on a routine and get things done…

Hubby’s work was so nice and clean… where is hubby…. Oh, he’s playing video games too now…

The kittens are still so cute… my distraction from work when I get home… Holly is still so mad… I don’t think she is ever going to like the kittens… she hisses at them and at us… she chases them down and swats at them and swats at us… I try to pick her up but afraid she is going to rip out my throat in one swipe of her paw… she sits off to the side of everyone and growls very quietly… or goes outside or just stays in the garage…

Still an hour til the lasagna will be done… and I am snacking… let me go see what needs doing around the house besides Frontierville on Facebook…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that sometimes it may feel too hard to do it alone. Sometimes it may seem like you can't figure it out by yourself. Sometimes will and strength and courage are not enough. Sometimes in your life you will need to call out for help. Call on God. God will be there.

Happy Journaling…

June Third

I continue to freak out over this visit… I don’t like it… I want to be calm and in control… I am starting to shut down… I want to go on with business as usual… he said some very negative things when he came for the training and these thoughts are making us doubt ourselves in everything we do… I lost another associate yesterday… two more will leave probably after the visit… nothing negative, just moving on to other jobs or positions… so many changes though in such a short time… my job is to keep the department motivated and positive… it has only been two months since I took the position… and I am just now getting frustrated with the position… and if we weren’t having a visit would I still be happy and enjoying it…

One of the concerns when I was given the position was that I couldn’t change my mind… I did that ten years or so ago and only lasted a week in the management position and backed out… the reason was no direction or involvement from management… everyone is so paranoid and just out for themselves it seems… and now I am seeing they still are… they all complain about no teamwork and yet they don’t communicate with each other… I do have a boss who is supposed to be involved in this visit but all she asks me is what’s the plan and doesn’t wait for an answer… when she interviewed me she made it clear that it was my department and that I was to run it and I would not get direction from her… I knew that… and yet I have no one I can confide in at work or vent on… I’m trying not to do either with the team as I don’t want to worry them… I’m there so they can vent and confide in me… the store manager says he has an open door and yet if you complain he says it sucks to be you… which translates to this is your job, quit whining and get to work… step up and take care of it… I understand that… and also if you don’t hear from management it’s cause you haven’t done anything wrong… no news is good news… so guess I must be doing something right…

And yet it feels so junior high… as you can’t say anything even teasing to fellow leads as they are so defensive, paranoid and looking out for themselves… I mentioned something to a fellow lead yesterday and of course she blamed someone else when I wasn’t telling her to ask my permission for what had been done but just to give me a heads up… but she got so defensive to my teasing it just hurt my feelings and I dropped it… to the point that I don’t want to talk to any of them either now… if I do something wrong I’m sure they will all be the first to throw me under the bus and I’ll just learn from my mistakes not because they want to help a fellow co worker…

I keep telling myself we won’t fail as we passed last year and we didn’t do anything extra as the supervisor didn’t really give us any direction nor was she there as she had manager duties to do… actually we are slowly pulling everything back together after the Memorial weekend… but there’s still the problem of everything I did as an associate then that the other associates still haven’t picked up on… but then fine I will get no on my old areas and have them do what they have always done… at least I am learning what everyone is capable of and what is expected of us… which isn’t that what the whole training is for anyway… and it’s only been two months so can I still play the new card… there is an online test to take after the certification on the 13th… the first day of my vacation, hmmmm guess I will be going into work for a bit…

Mostly I just don’t like how all this is making me feel… I can’t relax… I’m not getting anything done at home… I’m snapping at the family… Feel like the work team is pulling apart, especially with losing four associates, then pulling together… I feel like such a failure… and we haven’t even failed yet… I know all the motivating things to say to myself and yet I can’t shake this awful feeling… and most of all I know that God is in control… and my work for 2011 is TRUST… I want to put a smile on my face and go to work and enjoy each day… I read something yesterday that said, we already know what is wrong, we need to look at what is right… I need to have a good cry but the tears won’t come… I’m hoping by writing this all out, I can move on….

I am off tomorrow… Then Sunday-Tuesday continue to get ready… Then Wednesday morning at 9am he will be there… Then by 1pm he will be on his way to the next store… and life hopefully will go back to normal… but since this is part of life why can’t it be normal now…

I close tonight and will be manager on duty…

All this stress is making me fat again…

I’m off to get ready for work…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that we all need the validation of love to feel safe, secure, and at home in this world. Don't withhold your love and appreciation. Love abundantly.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that there are only two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is. Don't wait for miracles, your whole life is a miracle.

Happy Journaling…

June First Evening…

Guess who walked in the door at noon today… hubby… the computers were not working so he could not do his training… so he worked on the home computer making flyers/coupons and got paid for the rest of his day… of course I was not expecting him til 2:30… so I did not get my whole four hours of alone time even if he was closed in the computer room… he is now back from the bank and getting gas… I picked up son3 and no homework, yay, thinking no more for the rest of the year… son2 is home and making dinner but needing help as he doesn’t know where anything is in the kitchen… so who’s making dinner… son1 has come home from work, showered and is off to get dinner with friends… we teased that he just doesn’t want to eat son2’s cooking… and son2 who never gives me anything until the last minute made sure to give me his senior class photos information sheet… I understand they must be done during the summer but school hasn’t even ended yet… tell me next week… after the visit… I’m grumpy…

I did do all the laundry today… just need to put it away… and cleaned the boy’s bathroom… emptied the litter box… filled the birdfeeders… watered the plants… vacuumed… ran the dishwasher… cleaned out the magazines, all caught up to June now… wrote up my entries for The Motivation Station for tomorrow and next week… played Fronteirville and My Zoo… and watched Emergency…

When I first started my new position there was a contest that we didn’t win for the department category but I won for the lead category… so I won a $100 gift card… I didn’t do anything really and it was more of a drawing but for the whole region only 8 of us won… I finally spent it last week or so… I ordered everything online as it was Super Saturday so an extra 10% off, plus free shipping if you spend over $99 and add my employee discount… I got hubby a dress shirt for work, son2 a Buffy The Vampire Slayer graphic novel, two bath mats for the boy’s bathroom, me a shirt, denim capri and all the books above… I actually didn’t get the capri as they were out of stock and I gave the shirt to girlfriend as it was pink, not purple and very see through… she likes to layer with tees and tanks so she will be able to wear it more than me and she loves pink…

The books are:

The Knitting Diaries; Debbie Macomber

The Summoning; Bentley Little

The Ignored; Bentley Little

Death Instinct; Bentley Little

The Disappearance; Bentley Little

Key of Light; Nora Roberts

Key of Knowledge; Nora Roberts

Key of Valor; Nora Roberts

Blue Dahlia; Nora Roberts

Black Rose; Nora Roberts

Red Lily; Nora Roberts

These are the bathmats for the boy’s bathroom… I’m waiting a bit til the kittens are no longer in that bathroom as they are making a big mess in there during the night…

And here are the kittens getting so big… at just three months old… That is Maple… she is son2’s kitten but she has bonded more with me… she sees me and comes running, meowing all the way…

And this is Indy… she is so laid back she is like butter, melting right into the floor with her kangaroo feet…

They are both motor boats with their purring…

Asleep sitting up…

The Green Hornet and The Dilemma came from Netflix today… We watched Tangled again last night and then sent it back today…

I had a headache, it is finally going away… I have just been snacking all day, haven’t really sat down and had a meal of sorts… son2 is making chicken and rice so that will be good… I am feeling tired again this afternoon… today was supposed to be a recharging day so I would be raring to go at work tomorrow… everyone to bed on time tonight… we have all been staying up til after 11pm… and then I am automatically awake at 6am… even on my day off…

Holly is still mad at the kittens and Danny is starting to tolerate them a bit as long as they don’t hiss at him…

Remember last year when I was growing seeds in egg cartons but they didn’t make it so I threw everything into the yard just in case… well they didn’t come up but I guess I also had thrown something out from Easter or some time as these came up and finally bloomed this week…

Son2 is about half way done with making the chicken so better start getting other things ready so we can eat…
