What A Beautiful Morning

Good morning to all of you loyal readers. It is another gorgeous Colorado morning.  The sky is pale blue dotted with indigo clouds that are highlighted with golden and platinum rays of the sun. Stunning!

I worked most of the day at WF. Right now the store is running a “Grab and Give” program.  This means all of the cashiers ask our guests (Customers) if they are interested in purchasing a breakfast, lunch or dinner for a family of four through the holidays. Breakfast is a $5 donation, lunch and dinner are $10 each and for $25 you may buy all three.  The $$ buys the food from Whole Foods which in turn goes directly to the Jeffco Action Center to feed the families in need.  I know some customers get a bit annoyed…they are a completely captive audience.  However, quite a few are happy to donate. I think I raised over $200 yesterday and I was really tired of talking by the time I got home. This one and the local school donations are the only programs that I feel comfortable talking about since these programs directly impact our community.

Anyway after I got home we had dinner…I put a chicken in the crockpot and made stuffing before I left for work.  Luckily, the Mister noticed that the setting was between low and high which meant that the crockpot was not actually on.  That minor detail could have been a disaster.  Thank you handsome husband for being so detail oriented. After dinner I ran down to LOL’s to administer the shot. I had one quick stop on the way down to feed a neighbors dogs, give them their vitamins, antibiotics and eye drops for the little blind Schnauzer. Both dogs were happy to see me and happily neither one wanted to bite.

The boys both did their homework with dad.  Dad vacuumed, did laundry, and cleaned up our ever messy house before I came home. Of course the pups are on my feet as I type, so we will need to vacuum once again today.  Yea!! I think we should invest in one of those robot vacuums that cruise around the house all day. I wonder if they work?

We are planning a play date for the youngest this afternoon.  Maybe I should try to find one for the eldest as well.

The Mister has a full day and I have a few things on my plate too.  I am off to make breakfast and school lunches, so here’s Daddy!!!

Herman Cain, oh Herman Cain, yes it’s me, your voice of reason when it comes to politics. Now in my continuous quest to be fair and balanced, this guy has to go! Are we really to believe that 5 or 6 women are all lying? On top of that, how can you vote for a guy for President that uses the word “ain’t”? Enough already, let’s move on.

It’s now 7am and still lots to do. Pheasant season starts this Saturday morning, wish I was going but so far, no plans. We’re still struggling with bills. It seems we do ok for a few months and then something comes up that throws us right back into the abyss. It’s like 3 steps forward, 1 or 2 steps back. Oh well, we’ll just keep plugging along. Remember life’s too short to get stressed out over bills, it is what it is.

Well, take care, stay safe and have a great day. We hope everyone is doing well. I’ve talked to a few of you that say you read the blog everyday but alas, no comments. I challenge each and every one of you to cowboy up and write something. Let’s make this a dialogue rather than just a monologue, come on, I know you can do it!
