Inconsistancies

Why in life do we have to have so many inconsistancies? Is it to challenge us to see if we can figure out the truth? Do we have them to make us better people? Or, could it be that they're there to help us discern the true character of a person? Whichever the case may be, I've found them quite useful in deciding how to pursue different avenues in my life. Confused? Yeah, me too!

Well, my eldest child_unit starts his first "real" job tonight!! I'm not saying that his job with Steve this summer doing straw wasn't a "real" job, it just wasn't a paycheck kind of job. I must say that he's extremely excited about all though, I can't say as I blame him though, I was pretty excited when I got my first job as a waitress, and I must say, I made a LOT of $$ in tips. Tips were the best part of the job!! (until you had to claim them as income...phooey.)

By the way, not that any Veterans read my blog, but Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you for all you did for our country. Your sacrafice has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated!

I feel like baking something...does anyone have any suggestions? Emily is on this cookbook kick now, she simply has to read any one she can get her hands on. Her excitement is probably why I feel like baking right now. But then again, I always like to bake so maybe I've finally rubbed off on here.....woo hooooooo!!! AND, it doesn't have anything to do with a sporting event!!! SHE DID GET SOME OF MY GENES!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, an exciting event today... Elementary Awards Program... D got the "Achievement" award for his class (best grades) as did Christen for her class :) (if I were standing here, I would have an arrow pointing at myself with a sign saying **PROUD**) Actually, I got everyone's report cards and the lowest grade was a C+ (I know he'll work hard to bring that up, won't he!?!?!?!)

Have you ever gotten something in your eye but couldn't see anything in there BUT you KNOW it's in there? Well, that happened to me this morning before I even got out of bed. I felt something in my eye, rubbed it, and then couldn't get whatever it was in there out of there. I had to take my van to Tawas so I figured I would go to the vision center at WalMart and see the doc in there. The receptionist lady said that it would on be 20 - 30 min. wait, it turned out to be a 50 min. wait. And wouldn't you know, the minute the doc came out with the other patient whatever was in my eye came out. It's amazing the moment when you realize that it doesn't feel like you have a huge, sharp object in your eye anymore. At least I didn't have to pay $50 :)

Well, I think I may go find some new recipe. Oh, I'll write about D's blood test next time....or should I say D's 2 FAILED ATTEMPTS to blood tests....not a pleased parental_unit was I....D was a trooper though and has to go through this again on Tuesday.

Y'all enjoy some fresh baking today,
Love Ya :)
