You?

Friday, there is football practice, then a school dance, for the middle school...
Saturday is the boys Championship Football game... WOO HOO... they have only lost one game and it way their first...
Sunday my daughter says we should go to the mall... Grrr... not in the mood but she needs some stuff so I will go.:rolleyes:
She is so lovely that she could wear a pair of sweats and still be absolutely beautiful... Those girls made me so mad in high school... She has been in and out of a lot of drama at school... we keep telling her to keep her cool... and not talk like the others, that will be why she is so special... ok I could go on and on...

It is amazing the amount of drama in high school these days. Ok that makes me sound old.

But seriously I can't get over all the stuff that happens. I could go on and on. Good for you for telling her to stay away from it! It is the best thing for her, even if she does not see that now. What a good mommy you are!

Any dates for the dance?

It was over $100 for me to fill my truck last night. I was like WHY did I buy this truck. But lets face it, farm gals like a good pickup truck :) Pass some bacon my way!

Stringer, I know you're in sales but I don't know what you sell...
And I don't know what eggs are going for, but I see gas prices going up while I drive from block to block!! The price on the signs outside the gas stations are moving a quickly as the move on the pumps themselves!! :(

I own 3 companies, the primary one is a Commercial Cleaning Company; mostly comprised of cleaning medical clinics and hospitals, etc. You probably are aware of one of our clients; Rush University in Chicago.

Sales in the sense of getting new service contract, but then it is all customer service. Even if the contract is 10 years old... you are only as good as what you did the night before... sometimes a little frustrating.:(

She is only ten... and she gets too much attention, but she can hold her own, she is a better warrior than I am any day...
No date... they just go and have fun... LOL
I need to get the boys haircuts though... THAT means going into town... nnnnoooooo...
My truck too... I never fill up anymore, I know tomorrow or the next day it will go down so I just stick the 25 bucks in and wait till the very end to get more... sometimes I luck out but sometimes I don't:D If my car could be fixed I would be in much better shape..

A few weekd ago I was determined to "fill her up" but my hand on the handle just freaked out at $60.00 and I let go... not quite full, but I'm driving my Camry for a while anyway!
I guess I'd better toss more bacon into the pan!

Oh good lord a pre teen that is even worse. Just kidding. Can you through the kids in the back of the trucks and drive them into town that way? When I was little my dad would do that with us. Of course it might be a bit illegal now... :D

We did that on the way to the river all the time last summer, they love it... feel so cool jumping out the side... LOL
But now... we live even farther up and on a very windy road, (I love taking corners fast) we have too many deer and stupid drivers like myself on this road... so it would be a bad idea... :rolleyes:

Truer words were never spoken, my friend. Staffing and good management people who could give a damn are scarce.

Git yer overalls... I will make a good lunch... and a cold beer will be waiting... of course... ;) Michelob?lite? Did I even spell that right? LMAO
Stringer...
Dang isn't that the truth... when I worked, I always told the younger people I worked with... that this is the start, you need to make a reputation for yourself, it is all in how you want yourself to be seen... a lazy azz or a good hard honest worker... :rolleyes: Sometimes, those talks helped and other times, it was like they felt so stupid they would quit...
