I worked last night, so I slept the better part of today. As usual, it was hell, definitely not in part of my clients, but just the usual nastiness and attitudes of the people in charge.
A friend of mine text messaged me part way through and talked to me about her place of employment. Sounds pretty good, so I zipped her off a copy of my resume this AM when I got home, and she's going to give it to her boss. This may be it... I don't know.

I felt good about myself last night on one part though. I didn't cheat. I drank my water, went to the bathroom every 10 minutes or so, but survived and didn't eat any of the "snacky" foods they have sitting around! GOAL MET!

So..... ready for another night?

Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day everyone! And blessings to all!

DH and I both have to work today, so it isn't mych of a "relief" from labor for us, but that's ok. Things are pretty tight round here, and we celebrate every day with each other....  :)

Haven't been here in a bit cause my desktop went down finally, and DH decided that I needed a new laptop, which was nice. SO here I am, but I can't download pics or anything cause I don't want to use all the memory putting pics on here and so on......

Our garden has just about had it, but we're still getting green beans, which is a blessing.... we've been freezing them mostly this year, and not canning, along with our corn. We made some chow chow (about 6 quarts) and dd first attempt at making V8 juice was good, but she didn't strain it, so we ended up with a rather thick tomato base for stews and such! LOL! That's ok though, at least she's learning.  :)

DD 16 made Dad a Dutch Apple pie a few nights ago... boy... was that delish! She's really getting to be an excellent cook!

DD 15 is getting along well in school. She's made a few mistakes, but nothing that a little pep talk from Mom and Dad couldn't handle. I really like the school she's going to this year. They have a website so I can see each day what her grades are, what homework she has, when it was/is due, and her overall grade for each class. She's been needing a bit of help in Algebra (who wouldn't?) so she stays after each day to get some extra help. That is appreciated too....

I just got to thinking last night... we have 3 more grandbabies coming!

Amber is having a little girl very soon. She's due September 19th, but thinks she may go early.  I would just about give my eye teeth to be there for her and with her.... but she has a good husband and another daughter lives close, so I am sure she'll be there too.

Loren is having another baby in January.

And our son Jerry and his lady are having a little girl due January 16th.

Grandma better get to crackin, me thinks! LOL! Especially since a certain little girl is already asking for Grandma to make her a ladybug blanket for her room.....  (hiint hint!)   Do I see a run to JoAnn Fabrics tomorrow after school? LOL!

Well, I had better scoot and get a few more things accomplished around here before I have to go in tonight. Working on laundry right now, and want to get that done today.....

Than I need to at least study a bit before test on Wednesday! LOL!

That's about all the updates for the Hatfield House.... just a plain ol family, raising plain ol children in a plain ol way......

Blessings to you all!
