All work and no play

Makes me tired and boring. I've been working a lot for everyone going on vacation so tomorrow will be my only day off this week. Thank goodness you don't get mail on Sundays, I might not have a day off if we did. The next 2 weeks, also I work everyday except Sunday and the 4th of course. I like having this job, but I don't like getting up at 5:15. Plus, the last couple days have been nothing but drama. Sometimes I can't stand small towns.

Since I was hired to work for everyone when they go on vacation, we were not able to go to the Ledbetter reunion this year. Pretty disappointing, but I hope everyone that could make it has a blast!

Yesterday one of the rural carriers retired. We had a surprise retirement party for her. I've only been there 2 months but she grows on you quick. Pretty sure I'll miss her.

Since Marty and I both have tomorrow off, we're taking the kids to the air show in Battle Creek. The USAF blue angels will be doing a show and it looks like there will be quite a bit for kids to do there. I think it'll be a good day.

I was able to get the house cleaned this morning between my Saturday shifts, but now it's about lunch time so I need to figure out lunch for the kids.

Summer fun!

We've been so busy since my last post. Marty's birthday, Danielle's graduation and just fun!

June 1st was Marty's 27th birthday. I think he enjoyed it. He had to work on his birthday so he got his gift then but we had his big birthday dinner on Sunday. The kids and I got him a drill for his birthday. He broke the charger from his last one. For his dinner he wanted cheesy potatoes and burgers. Not healthy what do ever but it was so good.

On one day Marty's mom watched Cameron and I was able to take Mackenzie to the children's museum. Their theme was back to school with buses and letters and numbers. So many of her favorite things. She was so disappointed when we left but I didn't have anymore change for parking. We will be going back for sure.

Danielle graduated last week, yay!!! The kids and I went to the ceremony and they were able to go to the party. I had to work during the party but I was there for dinner afterwards. The kids were great at both!

Today there was an early childhood carnival. What a blast! Free lunch, bounce houses, face painting, police cars, fire trucks and a magic show!

Tonight the kids are staying at Papa and GG's so I can work tomorrow. The plan is to finish Marty's father's day gift, start and finish my dads and hit up some garage sales for play clothes for Mackenzie. We're hoping to find a tricycle, wagon, bike trailer for the kids and a power wheels 4-wheeler for Cameron.

I must go. I have to pack up the kids for their sleep over.
