Wow has it ever been a busy week!! Due to one of our girls quitting and another going on vacation, I have worked every single day since last Tuesday and I have to work tommorrow too. Mikey worked 2 out of 5 days last week and this week is not looking so hot thus far. No work today and just found out, not tommorrow either. Between my check, child support and my ebay money we are managing along with him making up missed hours using vacation/sick time. Max was waiting up for me last night when I got home. He had discovered some of Jarrett's old pjs in a bag and he wanted them bad. One pair had motorcycles on it and he was in love!! Only problem: these are a size 12. The pants are taller than he is!! We compromised and he wore the shirt to bed. He seemed pleased with that.
Friday was a fun day at work! Around 4 the manager leaves for the day. A thunderstorm hit and the power flickered several times before staying off. I had my flashlight, my cell phone and a register on battery back up. I called and left a message on the boss's phone since I knew she had an appointment after work. While waiting for her to come back to work, the battery died on the register. So, armed with a calculater, keys to open the register and our trusty flashlight, we worked until 7 without power before calling it a night and going home. The funny part about the whole thing? The large number of people that had to be told we couldn't sell gas because the pumps are electric and we had no electricity!
My cousin came over Sunday as part of her new job:demonstrating vaccuum cleaners. She's an awesome saleswoman because we bought one! Anyone interested in a demonstration, let me know and I'll have Karisa get in touch with you. You'll be amazed at the dirt in your carpet. Gotta help a girl earn some bucks!
This week, besides working, it's time to get Jarrett packed for camp. We take him on Sunday and I get to pick him up on Friday. Lauren will be there too. Even though he doesn't want to be her boyfriend(yet!) she LOVES him. Lauren is my special girl.
Dad brought Jarrett back from his weekend this morning and informs me that Jarrett doesn't want to go to camp, so maybe next year he could do something else. Kenny had heard about an acting camp (of course after it was too late to get him in this summer) in Cambridge that he's getting information about for next summer. While I do encourage his interests, I can't be shuttling him back and forth to Cambridge every day. It only took like 2 seconds to figure out that Kenny had said that he'd miss Jarrett while he's at camp and that's why Jarrett said he doesn't want to go.
Hopefully, this week we'll have time to go play and visit some friends. If not, we'll see them at drop off for camp and keep each other company during the wait to check in.
