New Job

Well I started my new job yesterday, finally. OK, so I took over 1000 pieces of clothing off racks and put in a pile then took them off the hangers and counted them and then put them in another box going some place else. I thought my shoulder was going to fall off. So I guess if I keep doing this I will build up some muscle and strength in my arms-- that's good!!!!

I have never seen so much STUFF and JUNK in my life. And it's a never ending thing as people keep bringing their junk and a lot of times good stuff there. If you need to get a book to read have no fear Goodwill has them I mean 100's all kinds. So Matthew come by and look at the books there are really some good ones to choose from.

SORRY !!!

I have been very slack on my posting, my husband thinks this is all I do when I am at home. What does he want me to do- clean house :):) I just haven't had much time lately as I am starting a new job on Tuesday at Goodwill. I am very excited about it, you can really find some good deals there. A couple of weeks ago I found a set of china that was beautiful actually it is transulent bone china, I looked it up and I can probably buy it at $500+ it is antique so finding it would probably be a problem. There are a couple of pieces I didn't get but that was ok I paid $10.00:):)
Well Celie spent the night last night went to sleep at 7:15 and it is 8:30am and I think I hear her. She is a good sleeper and wakes up very happy.
I will post more later.

Feeling HOT HOT HOT !!!!!!

Oh my word can I even begin to say how hot it is? This is just June and we still have the hottest month August to go through. Since we have moved to White City, it is hotter here in the summer and colder in the winter. I wish that we could have a freak weather thing and it would forget it was summer and think it was January :):):) Yeah- right!!!
We took 7 girls on a youth trip to Wild Adventures, mistake #1- don't wear black pants with black (to the knee) socks and a 1/4 length shirt, truely I thought I was gonna die. I had to go inside a airconditioned restaurant and get cooled off for about one hour. #2- never expect to NOT get your hair wet riding water rides. I didn't even care at this point what I looked like or what I was wearing. We stopped and the girls talked me into buying some shorts and a short sleeve top. Oh my goodness-I looked like a olive with 2 tooth picks for legs and the legs were as white as my hiny where the sun never shines. But as I walked around looking at who might look at me and wonder why I was dressed that way, I found myself wondering why some people looked the way they did. At that point I didn't care, I was dying and I needed to be in the water getting soaked.
And I did and about drowned one time, I thought:):)
We had a good time just too hot for me and I will never go again in June-August.
Talking about looks, I did get some the first day when dressed in black, I must me a NUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend Visit

I had no idea until Friday night that Adam and family were coming for a short visit. Adam was invited to speak at our church on Sunday because our pastor has some medical issues and she is unable to preach right now. So if anyone reads this blog please pray for her.
So Saturday was an eventful day. Got up early Saturday morning to head out to clean a house on Cape San Blas, it was a mess but it took us about 3 hours(3 people). Thank goodness Matthew is a fast bed maker and very maticulatous, he makes a bed look as good as he makes coconut cakes.
The house smelled of dead fish bait, but bleach cuts all smells and the house ended up looking and smelling wouderful.
Saturday happened to be Mike's birthday and so I thought it would be nice to have the family eat out. Well sometimes Mike isn't good for his word as "I will be there soon". As the time passed it was almost 7 pm and no Mikie. So I go ahead and call Dock Side to see if we can get in as I forgot the fishing tournament was going on, plus we were starving to death, one hotdog does not last long.
So as I pulled up to Dock Side 100's of cars and people were everywhere and our party minus Mikie the birthday boy.
So I finally found a parking place over by the bank and walked not too far to the restaurant where we all met excluding the birthday boy. So we go in and it was very nice all the people were outside, thankgoodness. Also Matthew's family weren't there Celie was past starving I am sure and it was close to her bedtime.
So Nanny gets there and ask where Mike is, well he is at Barrier Dunes (talking)
so we go ahead and start ordering and maybe Mike would show. But have no fear Mike calls and is on his way so I ordered for him and he came in just as his food was placed down, good timing?
The food was very good, we didn't have to wait very long and we got to see some fresh caught fish,it was a nice time after all.
Happy Birthday Mike!!!!

Do you wanna swing ???

I don't know if this will work or not but everytime I ask Celie if she wants to go swing this is what she does. It is really cute, she likes the BIG swing at my house. You will have to turn the music off.

A Short stay at the park

I felt pretty good on Thursday so I thought I would go in town meet Matthew and Sarah for lunch and bring Celie. It was nice, so I decided to take her to the park at Highland View. It is so nice there, trees and porch swings everywhere. It has all kinds of things, tennis court, nice play ground, walking trail, shade trees basketball court and I think a batting cage.

So we get out of the car and Celie starts picking up rocks, then we go inside the gate where we can walk to the play ground. But before we even get to the park I get a phone call, be sure the slide is not hot, you have to hold her hands for her to go down the slide and be sure she has something to drink, it is hot outside.

I really think that Matthew thinks I am a blooming idiot, I guess he thought I would put her on a hot slide and let her go down by herself and not give her anything to drink. I don't know how I managed to raise 2 boys, they seem fine I don't remember any tramatic events that took place to scar them for life.

Anyway, the park was fun, it WAS HOT, we stayed about 20 minutes, she didn't get burned, she did not go down the slide and I did give her water to drink and put the air on HIGH so she could cool off. She did get sand in her shoes that I wiped off before getting in the car. ALL IS GOOD !!!!!!!
