Corey's 20th birthday 

This is the other painting I've submitted for the show. 

This is the painting I'm trying to enter in an art show. 

This has been one of those weeks where I wonder what I did to deserve ---ok --- rephrase ---feeling sorry for myself......
I started a new job and every night I come home so sore I can hardly move..... on the bright side, I lost 2 lbs this week.
I know, as I, or if I continue this job I will loose weight, build muscle, it will become easier (hopefully), I'll be able to figure out a schedule to my liking, and I don't know what else. I feel very tired from it.
It's a job that needs doing. There aren't any nicer people to work for. I can take pride in a job well done, but it pays next to zippo...
However, I am making a list and checking it twice - to show this is a 2 person job, and hopefully it will be understood.
On a different note, I filled out an application for a local art show and am waiting for the results. I really don't feel my work will be accepted it is extremely religious but the theme is "what are things that represent your faith", so you never know.
Tracy and I went to a craft show to find out about exhibiting next year. We scouted out booths, covers, and sellable items. It costs a little more than I expected to rent a space but the cost is part of it. I think I'm going next weekend to research another one. We shall see......

We got L.C. back today. She is very groggy and tired. I didn't realize how large the scar would be. She seems to be happy to be home.
Today was my last garage sale. I've said that before but I'm sticking with it. The amount of time preparing and the cheapness of people...arghhhh...not worth it!!!

Tomorrow the puppy goes to get fixed. Hopefully it will calm her down some.
It's been so nice to be home after not being here for a month. Unfortunately, everything is extremely disorganized and needs a good cleaning. I've spent the last 3 days running around trying to get errands caught up. Today I'm trying to clean but it's so far behind it seems useless. And Saturday I'm having a garage sale so I've got a ton of work to do. Why am I blogging? Time to get to work......

Been awhile.....

Well, I did it, I quit!
I stayed long enough to prove I could do it and then I just decided it wasn't worth it. I was becoming very angry and stressed and now I'm sick. That's the way it goes, overload, stress and get sick.
It's such a relief knowing I don't have to go back..... for those who don't know.... I was driving the school bus from - heck, I'm so happy -yippee it's over!!!!!!!!!

long week.....

This has been one of the longest weeks ever. I had training all week, which usually lasts 2 - 3 days, 10 hour days. But, I got the bus from...well you know where and the kids are completely out of control. Three boys got in a fight Thursday - which somehow I ended up in the middle of, by accident I assure you. Anyway, one of them pushed me so all 3 were suspended. I almost quit... but my trainer convinced me to give it a try, or else she'd hunt me down....
Scary what the world will be like in about 15 years when these kids are "adults".

Ok then.... 

Why Jesse felt the need to spend money on a costume for the dog I do not know. 

Cat on a stick. 

I passed my CDL test Thursday. Who would have ever thought I could parallel park a 40' bus.

This is our dog Elsie.

finishing my thought

We are thinking about finding a good home for Elsie because
we just don't have enough time for her. This makes me sad - she is so sweet.

Trees are all bent out of shape.... 

Fences are no more or at least 1/2 gone... 

We live in blue roof city now... 

The crazy people who go out during a hurricane....

See the difference?
