I touch fabric, pet yarn and fondle beads, sometimes inappropriately.

Hello Agsin

Just checking in after almost 2 weeks. Work has been busy and I have gotten good hours. Yesterday I was schedualed for 6 hours opening at 9am. At my break around 11 the managers were fretting about the no-shows and the call-outs there was no on to close, so I said I could work over. I had a half hour lunch during the frist shift, then took an hour between shifts and worked through till closing. Doing everything needed to do for closing getting things ready for the next day opening I didn't get off till after 10:30pm. A very long day yes in deed. We were so busy that I almost didn't get the hour break which I took to get a Starbucks frap. I deserved it.
I am so sore after working a long day and being short handed.
This morning I got up and set up for a yard sale it has been almost 4 hours sitting out there and no one has come by. Maybe after church lets out. At least it is a sunny day so I will get tanned. I am also getting some crocheting done.
Todays Fathers Day menu is hotdogs and chips. My Dad's fav.
Well I need to go outside and sit with the stuff for a while.

I'm Back

It was a fun 3 days with all the kids.
There was 10 6th graders and it was fun watching them discover and see what they had be learning about in school. They got to be hands on with stuff they only saw in books.
Most of these kids had never been out of town before or away from their family. They were fun to watch. They were very good and stayed together for the most part.
I was looking at them each and relized something very sad. Out of the 10 only 4 still has both parents in their home. One does not know at the end of school were he is going to go, home or somewhere else. One girl is treated like her moms best friend not as her daughter another does not even know where her mom is and lives with grandma. Another is between grandma and aunties because she gets in the way of her moms boyfriend. The stories just get sadder I am amazed they do so well in school. I am glad I got to be part of their life for 3 days.
