Today is Team Building Day for the misses at work. She doesn’t work (but does get paid) as all the front end employees go out together from noon until 6pm together to foster teamwork. First they go to some candy factory to see how candy is made, (that’ll require some restraint on the misses part) and then it’s off to some restaurant for the rest of the day. The store brings in an entire crew from another store to work for all of them as everyone gets to go. Hope it’s fun for her.
Tonight we’re going to a musical show called Rock of Ages. Grandma gave us the tickets and it’s some sort of musical theater type show that’s supposed to be pretty good. Uncle T and Aunt B kindly offered to watch the boys which is great as otherwise we probably wouldn’t have gone because it would have cost us $50 for a babysitter. This is just too much in todays economy.
Yesterday the misses and I did some cardio in the morning and then took the family up to Red Rocks for some leg work (this means climbing the amphitheater steps to work out our leg muscles). We made it through day 2 of just eggs, chicken, veggies and brown rice and are both down a bit over 4 pounds. All we need is a little light at the end of the tunnel, which means seeing a little progress, and we’re committed! Surprisingly even though it’s only been two days, we both feel a whole lot better.
I’ve already had 2 conference calls this morning and have another one in 45 minutes. I’m raising prices again on August 1st and need to announce this nationwide today. I know they say the economy is getting better but I don’t buy it. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the ups and downs each and every day. You need to look at the big picture and see if you can spot the trends. People, we’ve got a long way to go before we’re out of this mess, trust me on this one! The littlest one is headed off to swim team while the oldest is still sleeping in our bed. By 4am everyone was in our bed! Bunkie has had his morning shot and we need to try to get the house cleaned up a bit before Mom heads off to her Team Building Day. There’s tons of Mojo hair around the house as he’s shedding a lot. Both dogs get groomed this Friday and it’s around $90, which we don’t want to spend, but we have to do it.
All the boys can talk about these days is horses. Horses this and horses that, they have the bug and are putting any spare change into the horse jar. In fact the littlest one asked if he could have some money and when I asked what for, he told me it was to put into the horse jar. I had to explain to him that that’s not how it works. At least it’s better to save for horses than some cheap useless soon forgotten toy from China.
Well, time to run with my conference call fast approaching. Mom and the little guy are off to the pool for an hour or so, hope it goes well. Still no microwave, too funny huh? You all should be placing bets on how long it’ll take us to get that together. Could be a while as we got hit with $608 to the dentist yesterday!
Oh well, it’s only money right? Take care and God Bless
