Wow ! It's finally here ! My week off.
I had originally requested this week for Spring Break, to be home with the kids. But there was a few things going on at work, like Jen being away for Kitchen College, and Coralee being off for surgery, and Trellia just being gone !
We had a big promo the week before, and Carrie was swamped with orders, so I went to Rob (our HR guy) and reworked my holidays. We also had Inventory that week so it wasn't really the best time to go.
Everything worked out great though. Coralee is back and ok, Jen decided to quit and do something else, and Trellia's still gone (pout), but we made some sales, and Inventory went great.
So now I have a week off, and what am I doing on my first day off ? Going to the store to do a site check. LOL. I know, I know "What the heck are you thinking ?!?!" I couldn't set this up for any other time, so here I go. My Assistant Manager Brad is back from Thailand on Monday, so I'll have to leave him a note to fill him in on what happened while he was gone.
My grand plans for the week ?? Sleep .. eat .. sleep .. I'm joking! I'm going to get some cleaning done around the house, maybe paint some walls, and while everyone else is at school and at work, I'm going to get rid of some stuff to go to Goodwill. Shhhhhh don't tell on me! We've been saving to get a house, and i'll be darned if I'm going to pack up all of this crap to move! Oops, I mean stuff.

Do be do be do ... or Life Goes on ...
Things have defintely not slowed down since the last post. We're getting back to normal, except now there's a space where Momma was.
Easter weekend was nice. This was our first gathering without Mom, but Tamara her aide worker came over with her two boys, Timmy (he's 3) and Bibo (I don't think i spelled that right - he's 7) and we all had a blast. We discovered that Betty's cable was on the fritz (someone has disconnected them at the box that comes into the building) so the kids played on the Xbox all afternoon.
If you have never seen Xbox games, go to Best Buy and check it out. The graphics are Amazing ! I was very surprised that they can make a game system with graphics that good. One of Mom's last gifts to the kids was a Playstation 2, and the graphics on that one are great too. (Not that we need anymore game systems - Andy collects them and REALLY needs to get rid of some. HINT!)
We had dinner and the kids all got rowdy, then sleepy, then rowdy, then giggly, and pretty much in that order. I think I was the worst one though .. Timmy and I had quite the conversation about the numbers of things that come in three's. And I think I discovered all of his tickly spots (of which there are quite a few!)
More to come ...
