It's almost payday!

I have wanted to quit this new job twice.
I have written on my calendar...You will not quit you can do this.
I have texted Kim I can't do this.
I have said when payday comes this better be worth it.
(I have feared it would not be.)

I went on Alpine School District and looked at my first check. It's not deposited yet but I can see the amount.

Thankfully, I think it will be worth it.

Number One reason: they pay a month behind, while that is all good in the month of June as I sit in my house, do yard work, relax I get a paycheck at the end of that month......but to wait until the end of Sept to get money you worked for in August.......

Number Two reason: getting up at 5:15 is really early and now the sun is not up as I am........

Number Three reason: It's only 2 more hours a day than I used to work how can I be this tired.......

Number Four reason: I qualified for the second pay raise (based on hours worked) just as I was starting this job and I wanted to see how much more it was (it took 3 years)

And in Westlake Blue.......... 2 stories:

I check in the shipments and we got a shipment of towels with the name of our school on them ordered by the drill team advisor.  She came down to get them and I pulled one out of the box and waved it around and said , "It's a rally towel."  She said, "That's a good idea we will advertise them as rally towels when we sell them."
Funny.....that"s what they are called in the sports world.  And I know that!

 Students stop by all the time to ask me to photocopy their homework.  I had just made one of my drawers in my office a snack drawer for my kids.  They both came in and there was one friend with them named Kate.  A small, quiet talking girl shuffled in and asked me to copy her written paper.  I said sure but she had to wait for a minute.  My kids were all talking about the snacks and I said you need to offer one to Kate as they were choosing what they wanted.  They little girl who was waiting said "Me?"  I said, "No those are my two kids down there and I was talking to them.  Then as my machine jammed and I was already annoyed I thought yea sure I'll just hand out snacks to everyone like you?  So I shouldn't have but I said, "Is your name Kate?" and she said, "No."  (So I guess I was not talking to you.) ( I thought that)

On A Beautiful Summer's Day

My sister who lives in Texas came to Utah for a summer vacation. She came down to our town and we got to spend a day with her and her family. We went to a splash pad and it was so fun to watch her kids play there. We played at the park,brought up toys from the basement, borrowed a high chair and ate a nice dinner. It was a fun day. The pictures make me smile. There is no need for captions under them!
