Woo Hoo! Happy Friday! And what a chilly morning it is. Brrr! I've been really busy working on orders this week, so I don't have anything new to share with you today, but plan to sometime next week.
Today I'm volunteering in Madison's classroom. I do the first Friday of every month, but they were off last Friday, so I'm on for today. They sure put me to work last month. Here I thought it'd be all fun and games, but they really worked me...lol I helped put the Open Court books together. It's their beginner reader sight word series that comes bound in a text book, 32 books, one for each child, which contains over 100 stories. Each story had to be torn-out, folded and stapled, so the kids can take them home to read. I didn't count how many I did, but it had to of been hundreds. So, I spent most of the day sitting in the back of the classroom at my own little production line. Madison was so cute, she packed us a snack that morning and we sat outside with her classmates chatting away. I have to tell you, Kindergartners are so funny. They crack-up at the littlest things and make you feel as if all the BIG things that are going on in your adult life, don't matter. It's the laughs and the happy times. Not the struggles, but the joy. The joy of life! And that I'm definitely looking forward to today.
Dwayne is still on the hunt for a driving job. He had an interview Monday and as of yesterday, they haven't made a decision. He's hoping to hear some good news from them today. Gosh, I hope so.... this waiting around sure is nerve racking. He also has several more applications out, but no calls on those yet. We don't understand why they're not calling, though. He has an excellent driving record- 0 tickets/0 accidents since he's had his Class A for 4 years. So, why aren't they calling? That we don't understand and it sure is discouraging to say the least. We just have to keep our chins up and Keep on Truckin'! (no pun intended...) :0)
You know what today is.... It's TGIF!! and you know what to do... put your name in for the "Friday Surprise!" giveaway. I'll see you tomorrow with the winner. Good luck everyone and have a fantastic Friday!
The temperature in my studio is...
