Good morning, everyone!!!
For most people today is almost their weekend. For me, well, it is just day 3 of my 9 day stretch :) There is also some big ass fly buzzing around my kitchen this morning, staying just out of my reach. Even Baby Bear is having issues trying to get this thing. I'm pretty sure it fly in when I had the door open waiting on Shadow to get up the porch steps and into the house. Oh well, things happen.
Today we have a morning meeting, training after that, then an evening meeting. So today is pretty full. I also need to decide on a day I can go in and bring my Surface and help people sign up for their reward cards. I'm thinking get through the BIG weekend then make a game plan for a Saturday. Which may work out great considering we will be beginning our charity drive right after.
I'm hoping to get hubby on board for going to the orchard on my next day off. I need to get some apple goodies made up for the winter :) You know apple butter, apple sauce, maybe some homemade apple pies :) Yep, the works. I also need to pick up some canning jars for this little venture. Which of course some of which I will be selling at the bake sale all next month :)
I did start my Christmas shopping yesterday :) Our novelty man brought in a gift idea I just had to get for my sister, LOL. Let's just say it will go with her collection LOL.
My blood has been boiling a bit this week. My son and daughter-in-law have been having some issues with some thieves. To the point they needed to bring their camper over here. Now, bringing the camper here isn't an issue, we have a lot more space to park it than they do. BUT, to HAVE to bring it over because of lazy ass people who would rather take what someone else works for instead of going out, getting a job, and working for your own shit, well, that really gets under my skin.
This aspect of the real world just drives me insane. We had issues with people like this when we lived in Florida and they always chose to take from one of the hardest working women I've ever met. I get it, it's easier to take something from someone than to work your ass off for what little you can, but it makes the crime even more hideous to me.
The up side is I got to see Little Zoe :) That little girl makes me smile :) Well, so does all my grandchildren. Each for different reasons.
Lil Miss is my flower child granddaughter. I love her outlook on life. She is such a peace, love, and find beauty in the world kind of girl. She is that constant reminder that even in this high tech world, there is still beauty in the simple things in life. Such as treasure hunting, taking walks, and just being for a few minutes. She reminds me it's time to take a break and enjoy the moment.
Then there's Bug. Deep thinker, concerned about things no 11 year old should even think matters at this age. He looks for reasons why in the happenings of life. Often times, he's much to serious for a kid his age, but then off he goes to grab a stick and pretend it's a gun or a sword and I see the little boy inside. He reminds me to think about things thoroughly before acting.
Garden Weed is 'that' girl. Always striving to be the best in whatever she does. She has qualities to be a leader, but the confidence to become the leader is still yet to come. She's the 'A' typical girly girl. She reminds me that it's okay to be who we are, to strive for the best, and once in awhile it's okay to have a spa day and focus on ourselves.
Then there's little Zoe, :) Adventurous, outgoing, knows no fear. And all of this in her first year. Can you imagine what she'll be in a few years? Wow, to have that spirit flowing through you. She reminds me it is okay to take risks, to look for things to get into, because you may just find you like it there.
I've always said if you watch children and really listen you can learn so much. I learned a great deal from raising my own children. Now, I'm learning even more watching my grandchildren grow up. It doesn't matter your age, there is always something to learn in this life. Teachers come in the darnedest places.
I managed to get in a bit more writing last evening while I soaked these aching feet. Sometimes you just have to grab the moment when you can. Things are slow but sure, and I am really wanting to get this aspect out of the way so I can do a read through and figure out what needs cut and what needs to stay :) Then it is on to the next one :)
I also need to get some files set up for a few future projects. I'm hoping to get that in order very soon. Maybe on my next day off :)
Well I should probably get off of here and get ready to start this day. Lots going on and I need to prepare for it.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
