The bad thing about a long weekend...

 For some reason you just really do not want to go back to work! Or school!

 This weekend turned out to be really nice. The kids had friends over Saturday. I was NOT a taxi all weekend long, the friends SLEPT IN on Sunday for me... Ahhhh.

 We went to my Father and Mother in laws house for Labor Day on Sunday. I always love going there. The kids also enjoy it. Takes them at least a couple hours before they decide they are bored. We ate a nice dinner and then searched for crickets and worms and went fishing in the neighbors pond. We did not catch anything, which made Bailey mad (lol) but it was nice anyway. The kids got to ride in the BACK of the TRUCK! You would have thought we just took them to the fair! On the way back the dogs tried to beat us and the kids just hooted and hollered!!! It was great!

 Destiny picked Bills brain about Democracy for this report she has to do. If she is a winner, she gets a WEEK LONG trip to DC! She has been working really really hard on this. I hope that she gets it. The other kids are rooting for her to win it also, but only because she will be "gone for a week". Sibling love. Its a wonderful thing!

 Today I went and got groceries, and Promise and I got our ears pierced "up top". Woot! The kids all got along fairly well this weekend, which was also nice. Tim worked this evening so I was "home alone" with the kids. I think I did a swell job. All in bed (asleep) by 9:30.

 So I am off to start a new week. This week I plan on getting back on the short little track I was on with my running (well walk/jogging) So cheers, to a new, short week!!!

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
