1 month left!

I gave my 30 day notice with the paper. It is not worth it anymore to me. With the cost of gasoline, and the bags to cover the papers. and the fines.. we were barely even profiting.. Plus waking up soo early every day was really getting to me, 1:50 is too early for anyone. I was only getting about 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours of sleep every night. Then during the day I am just dragging. and lately I have had a yucky cold, I think its because I am not sleeping much so my body don't get much rest but I don't know. Plus with Cory's schedule we only saw each other about 3 hours in the afternoon since I had to go to bed before he came home.

Yea, not worth it!

Pink Purse

I made Constance a purse on a kniffty knitter loom, I didn't have a pattern I just kind of made it up as I went along. I think it turned out pretty good, and Constance likes it!
Constance showing off her new purse this morning, She looks so grown up today!

you cant really see it, but there is also a blue ribbon that is weaved in and out of the white stripe which is tied into a bow in the center, not to bad for a first time!

You'd think I'd be happy

I got my check today, so you would think I would be happy. but it made me soo frustrated, I hate the fact that I have to pay for the bags to cover the paper out of my paycheck. they took about $ 150.00 out of my paycheck for those stupid bags! I hope the bags last longer than 2 weeks. you would think the Newspaper Agency would pay to protect their newspaper, especially since gas prices are so high, for their deliverers, if they take any more money out of my check I will be paying them to deliver their newspapers!
soo I am not happy. GRRR at least I only had 2 complaints this pay period so I only got charged $4 not like last pay period I had $30 in complaints, but now I know my route really well so I don't think I will have any more problems with complaints unless I get some more thief's. Last pay period I had some people stealing papers after I threw them. but I still got charged the $2 dollars a complaint on them even though I could not help it. Even though I have less complaints this pay period my check was $80.00 less than last pay period just because of those stupid bags! it doesn't seem fair does it?

Feeding Mr. Turtle

Today while Constance was feeding Mr. Turtle I snapped a picture, for some reason its not that clear but I still thought it was cute. we also took Mr. Turtle out of his cage for a few minutes so he could wander. I tried to snap a few of him too but they all came out blurred since he would not stop moving. I think he wants to run away!

Good News!

I was finally able to get my mother in laws old digital Camera to work, so while Cory was home during his split shift we went outside to help Constance learn to peddle on her bike. She is catching on a little.
Cory nudging her along.

She is so proud!

Fountain Diving??

This Evening on out walk, we went by the condos so Constance could see the ducks. Like yesterday she began to throw pine cones into the pond. Next thing I knew her foot slipped and she goes sliding into the pond, the water was up to her neck by the time I got to her. I am sooo thankful that I was able to get to her and that I was not afraid to jump in!! (I am soo afraid of deep water) it took a few minutes for me to get her out. The sides of the fountain pond were so scummy and slippery and the wall is on an angle. I literally had to lay against the wall and just try to push her up. she slipped back in a couple of times because it was soo slick. I am so thankful I was able to get her out and that I was able to get to her quick. The water was almost up to my neck at the part where I had to jump in to get to her. I am soo thankful that Heavenly Father helped me get her out. I know it was him who took away my fear so I could help my sweet little girl who was soo scared. I don't know if I will visit this little pond any time soon. and yes my phone was in my pocket and wont work now, hopefully when it drys out I will be able to get it to work. if not anyone can always call Cory's phone #

When I jumped in I slammed my knee into maybe what the water squirts out of and now it is very painful and a little swollen. it took my a good five minutes( at least it felt like it) for me to get out. with the angle of the wall anytime I tried to climb out I would slide to the bottom and poor Constance was watching me the whole time and crying. The only thing that was not slippery was the very edge of the pond (about 5 inches wide) so I had to try to grip this flat surface to get out. and wearing those plastic croc shoes probably didn't help any. and walking home through the few blocks in our apartment complex was not fun either. I can only imagine what people thought since we were covered in slimy green scum.

I am soo thankful to be home and safe! I just wish I could call my parents and tell them. They always make me feel better!

So now that Constance is out of the bath, it is shower time for me!!

P.S. Constance thinks we went swiming with the ducks :)

Scott this post is for you!

Last night on the way home from picking up Cory from work around 9pm. We were stopped at a red light and across the intersection there was a car in the left hand turn lane. There were also like 3 people crossing the street 2 ladies and 1 man. when the man was 3/4 across the street he glanced all around him then darted back the car that was waiting to make the left hand turn. He handed the man some bills it looked like, and the man in the car handed what appeared to be a small bag of something, don't know what it was. but we think it was drugs. then the man hurried to catch up with the two ladies.

we were not sure what we should have done. A~ if it was a drug deal and we called the police, they wouldn't have made it there before the car left. B~ we did not see the license plate. C~ I was not about to follow the car, if they were dealers they probably had a gun or two on them!

anyway Scott if you read this, tell me what should I have done?

Our Walk Today

Today since the weather was nice and not too warm, me and Constance went for a walk. The condos next door have some ponds that always have ducks in them so of course this was our first stop. For the next 5 min or so, Constance entertained herself by throwing 20-30 pine cones in the ponds, hope the Condos don't mind!

Next we saw a barbie leg on the ground, right by a pink polka dot sock. for the rest of our walk she was trying to convince me that we needed to go and get the sock and barbie leg, to take home with us.

Castle Cake

This year Constance told me she wanted a Castle cake, so I have bought this kit and plan on making it. I just hope mine can turn out half as cute! I will post a picture of the one I make after her B-day!, She is growing up soo fast. I wish I could have a time machine and do it all over again with her every day!!
