I am tired today

Ok, I am wore out today so I guess I need to apply that verse from yesterday because my legs and back are feeling it today!! I am washing my uniform for work and found out that the lady didn't order me more uniforms when I sent my other ones back because they were to big, she happens to tell me the day that the new uniforms come in, oh you didn't fill out another paper to order more, WHY DIDNT SHE TELL ME THIS TO BEGIN WITH??? I thought she was just going to exchange them. So I told her I would just order them from somewhere else. So I have alittle time to get ready today, then I get a day off, just one then I get to work the weekend. HELP me LORD!

Scattered Thunderstorms

We are finally getting that much needed rain! Scattered Thunderstorms expected throughout the day. I have to work today. So my time is limited. Have to get those bills paid. Even if I don't feel like it. Psalm 27:1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Peaches

The peaches are ready for picking. I am glad we have so many this year, and they are going to get ready one tree at a time. The other peach trees are still green but one is loaded and ready. Thank God for the wonderful peaches. I am selling peach trees for 5.00 each and they will be well worth your 5.00 when you have such a great turn out as this! I have to work today, this is my hard week, one day off out of six. Still working on the school room, it is going to be so nice to have a school room! My bird has been so playful this morning, he just can't stop whistling. Have a great day out there in blog land.

Blessed

A great day indeed! Our neighbor asked if we had a garden, and I told him yes a small one, he said would you like some cucumbers? I said ya sure. So he brought a bag of cucumbers and they were delicious. Then they wanted to know if we wanted some of the deer meat they had, so we like deer meat and had to turn on the freezer in the garage because there was not enough room in my freezer to put it all. They also sent corn on the cob,cut corn,cheese,bread and more!
What great neighbors!!

Visiting Day

A day off and what do you know I just felt like taking the family to visit the nursing home residents. So off we went and stopped at some yard sales along the way. We had a good time and then headed east to go order Harrison some new glasses for school this year. We will be starting our home school August 15th this year and have already bought school supplies getting ready. This year will be a lot different because we will be using a whole room in our home just for school. Previously we used the kitchen table and couch in the living room, which is fine and works for some but we are ready to try something different. Hope you all are getting excited about starting school like we are. One new item for our school was the Fly computer pen. They couldn't wait to open that one and so far they like it! I think it is neat how it talks to you, so do they.

Watch out Big Trucks!

So I called the law office and got a deal worked out for one of my credit cards. I paid 325.00 to get started and it will be 250.00 a month after that. In around 6 months that bill will be paid in full! They were actually pretty nice this time. So then I was on my way to work Friday evening when all of the sudden this big enterprise box truck comes over the center line right at me, I turned the wheel but had very little room to the right so sharply turned it back and was on the road with an abrupt jerk. After realizing I was still alive and OK I could feel my heart pounding!! God had to of pulled me through that one because that truck was headed right for me! So I made it to work and after a long night's work I get home and the kids had been playing with the toys in my room. So I shut the light out and all of the sudden while walking to my bed I land my foot on something that crunched! It hurt pretty bad so I decided to go back and turn my light back on to find my jewelry box, crushed. I guess they had decided to play with that too! So my glass in my jewelry box is crushed and my toe is bleeding and now I am really hurting! I just thank God it didn't cut my toe off! So my son help me get that bandaged up and off to bed I went, slept like a baby!

Pay Day Time to pay some bills

Direct deposit is great, if you dont have it you should. You dont have to waste all that time running to get your check and making it to the bank before it closes. Direct deposit gets a thumbs up! First I will pay tithes and since I have my car payment up to date it is now time to start on the big bad credit cards, one at a time! Today I will make that dreaded call to the lawyers office to set up payment arrangements on my credit card bill that they want to take to court, pray for me that I can get this mess straightened out quickly. I have to work today, so I have little time, see ya

Cave River Valley

We took our summer trip to Cave River Valley this year and the thunderstorm hit right in the middle of grilling our supper. So we loaded up and moved to the cabin, finished eating our supper, (what we got cooked before the storm hit) and listened to my oldest son play some music on his guitar. We still got to have a little fun even though the tents never got set up!
