Ahhhhh, how sweet it is.......to come home after work today. Finished another round of shifts. A week off coming up. And, I came home today to find my house being cleaned up. The kitchen help was scrambling to clean off the counters. The dishwasher was being loaded. This was after the hired help had worked in the pasture, pulling out old fence post, for four hours. Then they even cleaned out all the garbages. I love my workers. Yes, my boys did a fantastic job of maintaining 'stuff' while mom and dad were at work. My floors have been washed and vacuumed. The grass cut. All that jazz....... Trying to keep them busy so they can't get into trouble while we're away. And, I didn't cook ahead this round. The family is becoming independent! Yay!!!
The last four days of work have gone really well. Worked with my wonderful niece, Michelle, the last couple of days. Thats an added bonus! Seriously, I work with an awesome group of people. (for the most part)! We play music, laugh-even when its not funny-, cry, work, and pool food. Hugs, tears, sharing of issues, and everything else......well, it makes you appreciate each other. When you spend the amount of hours together with only a couple of people, it bonds you like nothing else can. You're dependent on each other for making a healthy work environment. And for healthy relationships. So, I miss the good friends when I'm away from work, but it makes you look forward to go back when its time.
We are looking forward to going to the city, camping, attending an anniversary party-all in the next week. This along with Del working every day, and maintaining the yard at home. My cousin, Kathy's kids, are coming out on Thursday, and are spending 10 days with us. This is going to be interesting. Two girls, to complete our little family. Should be fun!!!
My nieces are helping me plan/organize a bridal shower for my niece-to-be. we've planned a community shower for July 24. Lots of work, but it will be worth it! They're an awesome couple, and it will be good to honor them. So, have to get my head into that next.
My oldest brother and his wife left on a holiday today. I'm so excited and happy for them! They are planning to drive without a plan. Stop whenever they want. I'm wondering if they're going to make it out of the province! Hope they have safe travels!
I do have to admit I'm a little nervous. It is July once again, and that makes me a little leery. The last few years of July have really sucked, and I'm wishing for a safe month for all. I can tell I'm tense-when I hear running footsteps, I wonder, whats happening! I have to make a concerted effort to relax. Can't let this crazy phobia ruin such a wonderful summer month!
Del & I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks. How do you celebrate 20 years together? I have to work that day! That should be fun! Lots of good things to anticipate in the next while.........
