It's a golden day!

Yep, that's right somebody at our house is celebrating their golden birthday. Jeffrey is 22 on the 22nd of February. Honestly, I never heard the term golden birthday until I moved to MN. I think it is a midwest thing. Anyhow, today we celebrate Jeff and the joy he continues to bring to this family. Jeff is an amazing brother, son, friend and just all around great person. On the downest of days, I can count on Jeff to lift me up. He gives selflessly of his time to make sure he is always available for his brothers. Jeff, I can not begin to tell you how much it means to have you as my son. You are my rock and sounding board. My heart swells with pride when I see you interacting with your brothers. I know the past several months have not gone the way you had planned, but you continue to reach for the stars when others would have given up. I wish you nothing but sunshine, rainbows and unicorns (an inside joke) in this upcoming year. This is your year to show them all what you are made of and soar you will. I love you to the moon and back a zillion times. Z Okazji Urodzin, Jeffrey Peter Hunt. Don't ever change who you are. Ok, you still need work on keeping your room clean............

The Three T's

Travel: I never travel for my job. But, since our store is going through a remodel, I have had to go away from training. I did the first part of my training in Nashville and will conclude the second part in Charlotte. I have learned two very important lessons while traveling 1. I am an old lady. The majority of people I am travleing with are 32 or younger and I find everything they do to be highly annoying and immature. All I want to do is stay in my room and get the heck back home.....all they want to do is go out and party. 2. I learned everything I need to know in kindergarten. I have not gotten one thing out of this training......not one single solitary thing except for a new dislike for my boss and his boss.

Tickets: Oh yes, the Georgia police caught me. While minding my own business and driving to work one day, a very nice police officer decided to pull me over because the light above my license plate was burned out. Seriously????? Well, then he told me the frame around my license plate was not legal in Georgia. Seriously????? Then he asked how long I had lived in GA. I was honest and told him 5 months. The next question was why hadn't I changed my license yet. I tried to explain the situation with David's car and how we were still on MN insurance, etc. but he was not having it. So he was nice and only gave me a warning for my light and frame, but had to give me a ticket for not changing over my license. After he writes me the ticket he tells me how if it were him he would not pay the fine but instead, go to my court date and explain it all to the judge and he thinks the judge will let me off. Seriously????? Then why did you write me a ticket. Note: I plan to pay the fine and not waste a day of work going to court.

Tired: I have been on the go nonstop over the last several months and it is catching up with me. My schedule at work is not at all what I expected, and getting up most days at 2:30 in the morning is hard. I would rather go back to working overnights then have my sleep interrupted at that time. I am hoping once the remodel is over with I can change my scheulde. It seems like all I do is sleep, work, nap, teach school, sleep. My favorite part of my schedule is teach school.
