A Fantastic Weekend!!!


Chris and I got to enjoy a wonderful weekend with each other! Aunt Beth and Uncle Steve asked for Hannah and Brunson to spend the weekend with them. The kids had a fun filled weekend and so did my hubby and me!!! We enjoyed quiet dinners together, we did a little shopping together, and we even went out dancing. I just loved every second of having Chris all to myself!

Rainy Day Blues

Today is just not the best day for me. Hopefully it is mostly contributed to the dreary weather out...but I just feel like a battle of mine is like a ski slope that I just don't seem to be conquering. On days like today it sure is hard not to have my Daddy around, he would know just the right thing to say. And I feel like a saying he used to always tease me about..."I'm as lost as a fart in the dark". I feel like I have the ability and for the most (haha) part I am a pretty nice person! That saying, "life isn't easy" is so true for me today. I am just chalking up this day to being done and I can't wait to wake up tomorrow a new and refreshed woman!!! Unfortunitly there is laundry to do, homework to help with, dinner to cook, baths to be done and the list goes on. Ohhhhh, what a pity party day!

My Man Has Really Changed!

AND I HAVE UNIFIRST TO THANK!


Create your own FACEinHOLE

Chris has been with Unifirst for almost two months and the changes in him are wonderful! The transition was difficult to say the least. Chris had a whole new industry to learn, new procedures and policies to follow, new coworkers to meet, clients to gain trust with, and the drive to be at the top! All of these changes created long and tiresome work hours.
I am so proud for him, he has accomplished so much in such a small amount of time. He finished his school and training in record time, he also started managing his accounts faster than any new employee at Unifirst. Chris has meet and succeeded his sales to gain him bonuses with new account and direct sales quotas! He is now excited about his career and is always researching ways to make him better while also he strives to be the best!!!

I VOTED AND I AM PROUD!

EVEN THOUGH MCCAIN WAS DEFEATED


After long and hard times of political views, adventures and debates our great nation has made history. Whether you are Republican or Democrat let's all come together as a nation and support the USA.
A friend of mine has already started to do his part in helping Obama's political policies. He visited a local cafe in his hometown yesterday. As he and his friend are served their lunch, he realizes what a great job their young waiter does. As my friend pays his tab, he tell the young man something to this effect... Young man, you did a fantastic job of waiting on my friend and myself. I just wanted to say thanks. The waiter of course replies, thank you. So then my friend states...I see you have an Obama sticker on your shirt, so you support Obama's economic policy of spreading the wealth? The waiter very proudly says, yes sir. My friend then comments, well that is great. I tell you what, since you did such a great job today, I feel you deserve a worthy tip. And since you support "spreading the wealth" I am going to take this tip that you earned & deserve and give it to the homeless man that is sitting outside your cafe. Stunned, the waiter stands there and watches my friend turn and walk out the cafe and give the unemployed man on the street the well deserved waiter's tip.
Sure I know this was harsh on a waiter, however think about the American that has worked hard all his life to be at a "financial taxable income". Just because he worked long and hard for probably a long period of time to make his income, he owes WAY more in taxes to the American that doesn't work hard & long and doesn't even pay taxes?

Happy Halloween


From super heroes to Princesses, from Sandy to Witches we had them all! Ma-Maw and I decided to get the fun started a little early. So when we picked up the kids from school, we were dressed to scare in our witch hats, hair and ugly makeup (I'll never forget Ma-maw's blacked out teeth-ewww)! Hannah and Brunson laughed so hard and couldn't wait to get home and get themselves all dressed in their costumes! All the other kiddos got there around 5:30 and then the fun really got underway! We had lots of yummy warm food and drinks, there was something for everyone...Oyster stew, a shrimp stew over rice, hot dogs...it was all so good! This year we had six kids for the hay ride and that saying...more is better is so true! We had the 4-wheeler with trailer and a golf cart! Everyone came back to the house for more food and hot chocolate or coffee! It was so nice to have family and friends gathered around and just hang out! The kids had a blast! We were so happy Denise & Hayden (We miss you Scott) and Chrissy, Brad & Kyle join our usual Halloween crowd this year! Can't wait to do it all over again next year! Thanks to Mama and Cathy for handing out candy and all you did!
