Class almost over!

My class is almost finished. Friday will be my last day for class. Yeah! I am gonna sleep in! The one trainer suggested taking another class later this summer! Are you kidding? Nah, I told her that I'm not in any hurry to be manager. :) Much to her dismay. Oh well, I don't want to spend my whole summer going to class and having to study.
I have just about finished my square. I've worked on it all week during my lunch break at school. I still have to stitch my name square. I'm very excited about the exchange. Pins and needles!
Got the boy's report cards in the mail today. Very happy with grades. Jason managed to pull a 8o B average overall. Thank goodness. Jacob on the other hand, out of 675 students, he ranks number 32! Way to go Jacob. Straight A student, AP courses and honors student. We are hoping for scholarships to help with college.
I know Jason will most likely attend a tech like school, where as Jacob will go to college. They are so different. Jason hates school. Jacob loves it! Jacob is ready to go back now. He complains he's bored already.
Well, I guess I should start thinking about what to fix for dinner. Beef and noodles sounds good.
Till later!

Angelynn with her present!

I gave Angelynn her graduation present on Saturday. I forgot to post it to my blog. So here she is, all happy to have graduated high school.

My class was really boring today. I did learn a new tidbit of info, but it doesn't affect me, just the manager, oh well, 3 more days to go!

I started my square last night, worked on it today during my hour lunch break during my class. Would you believe the cafeteria wanted $5.95 for a ham and cheese sandwich? I'm bringing my lunch tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a great evening!

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

We have enjoyed 2 cookouts this long weekend. Graduation day cookout, then cookout with my niece and Justin. We went to the Memorial Day festival in Dacula. It was nice walking around with my husband. I was even saluted by a veteran. I was wearing a very patriotic polo shirt. Flag colors. I thought that was so nice! Very nice gentleman. I usually march in the parade with the Boy Scouts, but this year I decided to just enjoy the parade and festival instead of working it. It was lovely.
I have a class this week. I'm not looking forward to it. It will be boring. I already know alot of the info that the class will go over. But, I'll need it on record that I took the class. Sigh.....
I hope everyone has a restful holiday!

Update on Stitching! Stash Goodies!

Here is my Workbasket reindeer, coming along nicely! I'm stitching this over one thread. It's been rough on the poor eyes, but I like it tiny. I went shopping yesterday to pick out my linen for Fair & Square. I got enough linen for 4 squares right know. I bought the last of that shade of tan. I've got my flosses bought too. I'm gonna start my square tonight! Some lucky partner will be the proud owner of this square. I love this pattern, I'm gonna stitch 2, one for me too!

My hubby has a 3 day weekend. He is so happy. We are planning a cookout for Sunday, with pina coladas to boot! :) We rented 3 movies for the long weekend also. Hope everyone stays safe, I will not be driving this weekend! Be careful! Enjoy your holiday!

Quick post for the night!

It's almost midnight, just finished baking 7 dozen cookies for my band kids. practice bright and early tomorrow at 8am. What am I thinking? I should be in bed sleeping. I have a headache, so it's hard to sleep when your head hurts. Tried to stitch, but that made it worse. So baking seemed like the thing to do. Jacob helped me before he crashed for the night.
He is learning a new instrument to march with, the French Horn, now, you have to understand, I'm not to thrilled by this change. 3 years of private clarinet lessons, to this change my hubby doesn't feel will benefit Jacob. We lost 23 band members to graduation this year. Most of all were horn players. So Harkness(band director) puts this little bug in Jacob's ear about how he needs the holes filled in the marching field lines. Jacob will still play clarinet in symphonic band and for allstate tryouts and the like, but, I think that it might be too much to expect in less than 8 weeks time for him to learn and play like he's been playing that instrument all along.
You have got to be good enough to make allstate to qualify for a scholarship for college. I don't want Jacob to ruin his chance, just to make a band director look good on the field during halftime. I've said my piece. It's been bothering me all day.
Vonna, I left a post on Fair and Square about my address. Your email address didn't work. Please send me something else so I can re add your address to my address book.
I guess I'll head off to bed.

One Happy Chicken!

School's out for summer! I'm very thrilled and jubilant! I do have to take a class next Tuesday thru Friday, some menu planning class. Yes, even the lunchroom ladies need to stay current and it helps me toward assistant manager one day.
Tomorrow morning Jacob and I will be up at the high school helping with the new upcoming 9th grade band members. They practice marching and such. I'll be figuring out uniform sizes and thinking of new flags for the color guard!

I am very disappointed that Apolo won last night. Boo hoo for Joey. I voted for him. Oh well, now I don't have anything to watch on tv. More stitching time!

Boo Boo Kitty tried to catch a baby bunny last night. Johnny and I saved the poor bunny. I can't believe he tried to catch a bunny. Boo boo is fat, so I never worried about him being able to catch something, guess I was wrong.

Well, everyone enjoy your evening! I sure am!

Work in Progress

Here is my latest project, I'm stitching this over 1 thread, I chose Weeks Dye Works Bordeaux. I'm happy with the color choice, it looks like Christmas to me. I really need to start my Christmas stitching for my Momma and John's Momma. I usually do something for them every year. It amazes me that June will be here in just a week. Then we are down to just 6 more months till Christmas! Yikes!

1 more day of school! Today was insane. I don't even know what was wrong with everyone! Rush, rush, rush. We are at the part where we are using up everything, smorgasbord dining. We will use it all up, we did run out of pepperoni pizza today. Oatmeal cookies, ran out, chips, ran out! I hate it! They look at you, like, wounded puppies. Why? They don't understand, the last week of school, we can't order any food. One more day!!!!!!!! Then I'll recoup during the summer, take my classes, then back to school in August, normally refreshed. (let's hope!)

I'm waiting for the Fair and Square to start! I can't wait!
Well, Dancing With the Stars finale comes on tonight, must be ready to watch. I hope that either Joey or Leilia win. Not Apollo! Well, signing off for tonight!
Have a great evening!
Your poor pitiful lunchroom lady!

Beware Ladies!

I have been a victim of credit card fraud. I just found out today. I have had to close that account and put flags out on all my bank accounts. It's really sad that someone has to steal instead of working for things the hard way. I am by no means rich, and it puts a hurt on me to think that what little credit or money I do have, someone is gonna ruin it for me! So...., please make sure you check your statements when they come in the mail. I usually just open the front of the letter to check the due date. Never really paid much to what was on the statement, something told me to look today! Thank goodness I did. Whoever has my credit card number must be really lonely! Not very nice company names appeared on the bill. Please pay attention. I have learned the hard way. At least most of the charges will be put back into my account. Fingers crossed!
Now on to stitching news! I need to get started on a pif! I have picked out the pattern, just need to start, hope to start tonight! Dancing With the Stars! comes on tonight, perfect time to start.
2 more days left of school! I can't wait! Summer vacation here I come!
Till later!

Sunday evening , and all calm!

Today has been such a restful day for me, even though I had 11 people over for dinner. I double invited my friend Leila and her kids plus my brother to a cookout. Then nephew showed up, then sweet Angelynn dropped by. I am hoping that my brother and Leila will hit it off. I'm trying to play cupid. Everything seemed to go well, Patrick brought flowers for Leila, she loved that gesture. I did too. Thumbs up to my brother! Hamburgers and hotdogs, homemade mac and cheese, my famous fudge cake, Jacob would eat just the frosting if I let him.
I am sending off a birthday surprise to someone soon! I hope she likes it!
My kitty Daisy is such a good kitty, she let all those kids hold and play with her today. She is wiped out! It is almost 8:30 pm here in GA. I want to stitch! So everyone have a great evening!

ps:Cheryl, glad you signed up for Fair and Square!

3 More Days Of School Left!

It is almost time for the happy dance! I am so ready for school to be out. This past week has been terrible for me at school. I'm one of the cashiers that ring up the children when they come thru the lunchroom. Since it is the end of the year, no charges are allowed. I have had to take away so many lunches that it has made me ill with parents in general. If they don't have money on their account, they cannot eat what is on the menu, they have to get a PB&J, it breaks my heart when I have to take a hamburger or taco(stuff they like) in exchange for a pbj. Thank goodness only 3 more days. I can't take too many more days of tears. Moms and Dads, please keep money on your babies accounts! There, I've said my piece. Sorry!
Now on to stitching news, I am waiting for my Fair and Square partner! I already have my pattern picked out, I need to pick up a couple of floss colors from Crescent Colors, I just haven't had a chance to get to the cross stitch shop yet. If anyone is reading, I love the design! I hope you do too!
On a more somber note, if possible, please keep my sister in law April in your prayers. April has MS, and she has gotten so worse that she no longer can walk and her hands shake so bad that she can't even cross stitch now. She is depressed really bad, down on God, she is shrinking away. Does anyone know much about MS? I'm ashamed to say that I don't really know alot about her disease, I've spent this weekend learning alittle. I'll be watching and taking care of her some this summer. Her kids are only 4 and 9. It's a shame. And her husband is not helping matters much. I certainly hope I haven't depressed you, just thought if she had little prayers sent her way, it can't help!
Will post more tomorrow! It is stitching time now!
