Back to School...

It was the kids' first day back at school.  Half a day for daughter - a senior in High School this year and full day for sons in Uni.  I'm SO glad it was a 1/2 day.  Got home - daughter was at back door and couldn't get it open.  Silly lock got stuck again.  Had to pull out a ladder and have her climb through a window.  Not sure what I would have done if she wasn't home.  The space to fit through is small and she's a lot skinnier than me!

Tomorrow I have a day off and everybody will be gone for a while - it will be nice! Can't remember the last time I was home alone.  I won't have a car either as daughter is planning on driving to school.  She's the Editor of the school newspaper and is staying after to talk to her Journalism teacher.  Nice excuse not to go anywhere :)

Got started on a new stitching piece.  This one is a Dragon Dreams freebie called A SPOT OF TEA.  It is designed by Jennifer Aiken Smith.  She has such wonderful designs.  Check out her website and her blog.

Been a while...

Wow it's been a while since I wrote. I've been feeling a little down in the dumps. Several things all piling up. I haven't talked to my Mum in a while (have wrote emails) but I miss her and miss talking to her. Her sister has been over from Australia to visit and I haven't called as I don't know what they are up to and with the time difference (Mum is in England) it isn't always easy to figure things out.

Work is okay but I've had enough of some things. Customers have just seemed to be rude and impatient lately. I work as an Office Specialist (fancy title for a bookkeeper) in a grocery store. Not only do I have my own job to do but I double, triple, quadruple as a bagger, cashier, service manager all with cut-down help. One of my back-ups just left so I have one back-up who can do my job on my days off and that person wants three weekends off next month - guess where that leaves me? I'm thinking of quitting or looking for another job but then I feel selfish as there are lots of people without jobs. Sigh.

On top of all that I have PMT this week and feel like bursting into tears at the littlest thing. I have to talk to my boss and don't want to do it while I feel like this - nothing worse than bursting into tears at work.

Enough bitching - I have some pics to read which I'll post next.

If anyone is out there in cyberland reading - thanks - just writing helps!
