A four letter word.

WORK. Like as in everyday, 8 hours a day. That has always been one of those ugly, four letter words I liked to keep myself clear of. Let me clarify that I am a VERY hard "worker" at the things I want to work on when I want to work on them. But to get up everyday and go to an actual j-j-jjjooob, there I said it, is not something I have ever really desired to do. But today I have done it. I applied for a JOB to W-O-R-K!! It frightens me a little. What if I just feel like sleeping in, or lounging by the pool, or reading a good book? Are those acceptable excuses for absence to most employers? They have always been fine in the past...oh, that's right I have always been my employer! Well, if I get this position I have applied for I will work every Mon-Friday 8am to 4pm. I have applied for an office spot at the middle school Meg will be attending. All joking aside, although I can assure you I am serious about not wanting to work, my kids are growing up, Hayli's in college, Kayla is a sophomore in high school (right next door to the middle school were I might be doing the w word), Meg is in her last year before high school, and my little baby Bubba (aka Chandler) is in his last year of elementary school...what am I doing at home, really? Not blogging obviously, since that is few and far between. Well, I clean a little (okay sometimes a lot), I dilly-dally on the computer, run errands, spend money...oh, that could also be a pro on the work side, and I go to the gym. All very important things mind you, but what would it be like to have health insurance? I don't know, we haven't had it in so long. That is another pro on the work side, darn it. I will get to have every six weeks off for a week, with my kids...plus paid summer vacations. Okay, I will accept the job if I am offered it and I hope to have a magical spelled placed on me that makes me LOVE the w word and LOVE the people I am surrounded by EVERY DAY, 200 days a year! If not, I will be back to sleeping in, lounging by the pool, and probably shopping with money I am not making. Sadly, I doubt my blogging will improve.

Happy Birthday to my sweet little Meggie Sue. She is now an official teenager at 13!! I love you Meg!

Happy 4th of July!

We have had a very nice and relaxing day. It is weird just having two kids at home. Kayla has been at EFY all week and so it has just been Meg and Chandler. Chandler has been hanging with his Dad some, working and Meg and I have been swimming and doing a little shopping.
On a totally different note, the Williams sisters will be playing each other in the finals at Wimb. Can't wait to watch that. How about the Bachelorette on Monday? I am pretty torn on who she should choose. I NEVER would have thought I would like Jesse. I thought he would have gone the first night....but he has really proven to be a great guy! And actually, the past show or two, I have even thought he was attractive. He really looks nice in the preview of the finale, all dressed up. Jason is nice and seems to have his act together. I am sure there are MANY things that happen that we don't see. I think that one of them will already have a clue that they are not being picked BECAUSE DeAnna really seems to be very sensitive about not leading anyone on and I don't think she would make them believe they are being chosen if they weren't...not like most shows in the past. This season has totally been my favorite EVER. I had pretty much stopped watching the show for the past few seasons because it seemed to me that the guys were not that great of a catch and the girls were mostly skanks. DeAnna has been so honest and genuine. I think I like the Bachelorette shows much better than the Bachelor shows. It will be interesting to see who she picks Monday night. She did say she was in love AND engaged! Who do you think she should pick?
