Hi! I am officially 30 something today! It's not too bad, but I'm one of those weird people who still likes birthdays after 21! Maybe when I turn 40 I'll get over that, but as for now... birthdays are great! I guess it helps that I have a pretty good life:) I have a wonderful husband who adores me:), two beautiful & healthy children who light up my life:), 3 wonderful pets who keep us entertained:), & a job (which is hard to come by these days).
It may not be anyone's dream job to work at Burger King, but it's really not such a bad job; it has good days & bad days same as everywhere else. Also, I like to be busy & BK is usually pretty busy:) I left BK 2 years ago for about 9 months to do the "office job" thing, but, honestly, it was pretty boring! I need to be busy & it's weird to sit on my bum all day! And it's not like I'm a regular crew person, which helps:) I like to be able to make decisions and I like working on the computer, but not all day long. I am the one who makes the crew schedule and the monthly newsletters. I also do lots of "extras" and whatever Tina, my boss, asks me to do! I like working with people (most of the time) and I guess it pretty much suits me:) Also, I guess it's pretty flexible if I need something off, which is great as I like to be involved with Brett & Lexie's school:) Granted, sometimes I wish I didn't have to work as I like to do tons of things which I just don't have time for:) But, since I do need the second income, it works:)Oh, if I haven't told you yet, I just got a 35 cent raise:)
Sometimes my boss isn't very understanging when it comes to the kids' activities, but they mean everything to me & it's not like they are involved in a ton of things! Pretty much the only thing they do is soccer for a month in the summer. Once in awhile, something else comes up, like Brett going to Lego Camp for 3 days, but mostly nothing else:) I am hoping to get Lexie into dance this fall, though. I will have to call the Academy of Dance to see if I can get her on the list:) She sure would love that! Those of you who know my little girl, know she is not the most coordinated little thing:) If I'd known, her name would have been Gracie! It doesn't stop her from dancing, though:) I just hope dance will improve her coordination - it certainly couldn't hurt, right?
No real big birthday plans today - Lexie will be making me a cake - butter pecan with cream cheese frosting, I think:) (I will be available to assist her, of course!) I'm just hoping it doesn't get too hot! Well, I guess I will have to shut the house up & turn the air on:) Thank god for a/c! And to think that I used to hate it as it made me too cold!?!
Lexie lost another tooth Friday night (which I forgot to tell you!) She was pretty upset Saturday morning when she woke me up to tell me the toothfairy didn't come (daddy couln't find her tooth!)I went to bed before she did;) Anyway, I told her maybe the tooth fairy had too many teeth to collect last night & would be there that night:) She figured that our cat, Tinkerbell, scared the tooth fairy away since she plays all night long:) Logic, right? LOL! So, the tooth fairy, did, in fact, come Saturday night & she got $1.25 for her tooth! Must have been a nice one:) She was pretty happy!
I don't believe that she's told you what she's been doing at Grandma Wanda's everyday:) She's helping to harvest grandma's garden a little bit at a time:) She loves picking the green beans:) & eating them, too! She's watching those tomatoes as they are one of her favorties:) Her & grandma have been eating a salad with their lunch nearly everyday. Brett, however, will not touch anything out of the garden:( He doesn't even like corn on the cob! He likes carrots, though:)
Lexie & I polished our nails last night:) I just have to remember to remove it on Tuesday night since we are not allowed to have fingernail polish on at work due to dirty fingernails:( Yuck! Like I don't clean under my nails! They are getting too long, though, so I will have to trim them soon! Otherwise they will keep breaking & that hurts!
I am on 4 10's this week, so I have 3 days off:) I work Wed-Fri & next Mon:) Sweet, hey? I have the whole weekend off! Apparently Tina made a mistake!LOL! She asked me why I didn't tell her she gave me the whole weekend off on Fair Week? I told her because I was on 4 10's so I didn't think of it! She did the schedule - why would I point out that I was off all weekend on Fair Week? Can anyone tell me? I assumed she just wanted me to stay later on the days I worked since it's hard to leave at 1 when we are busy. IDK! Oh, well! Not gonna worry about it! The schedule is posted! Hooray!
I think that's all for now:) I gotta go help Lexie with the cake so it's cooled enough to frost later:)
Peace & all that hoopla!
