Refund and a possible job lead...

Resume out to 15 more contacts yesterday (Wednesday) and talked to a dear friend I used to work with many years ago. Talked to her again this morning, maybe a JOB!!! We shall see. AND the highlight of today was getting our taxes prepared in Frisco. Let's just say R E F U N D... One less worry for me.

Chelsey and Colby are counting down the HOURS until Spring Break now. Tomorrow at noon, they will be free for a week. Colby will still have 9am work out each day and there is a track meet, but at least no CLASS.

They are both getting used to me having dinner ready when they get home from school at 4:30pm...warm cookies too. This afternoon, Chelsey said "I do not understand how you time it so perfectly, Mom." Cracked me up!

Danny and I worked out again this morning and we are both still using the Ab Circle Pro each day. It's great to spend time together! Starbucks in the morning after work out, that's the plan....then we'll be up to our elbows in kids for a week I'm sure.

Tuesday-Good call and Goodwill

Received a call from a recruiter today...asked if I'd consider the Oil & Gas business.....Hummm... Posted resume on another web site.

Chelsey and Colby are counting down the days until spring break. No plans to go anywhere this year, I'd bet they are bored to tears by Wednesday.

Danny is a trooper...today we met Ashley at Starbucks, and then went to Goodwill. I've told him to "have vision" while looking at things to paint/redo/bling. We found 3-4 things. Once complete, I'll post pictures.

The beautiful sunshine makes my spirits so much better than the dreary rain!

Zebra?


My first "masterpiece" in my new "office." Had to do something, since it rained ALL day! It looks kinda crooked, but I checked it after the picture, and it was just the fringe not quite as fluffy on one side....All is well now.


Painting with the boys...


Crafty Nana and the boys painted this morning.... Our little Picaso's loved it and so did I. We painted in the garage, so less mess to worry about in the house.


Garage Sale Saturday!!!

Left home Saturday at 10am...went into Frisco, with my eye out for "Garage Sale" signs. Stopped at a couple and a craft sale at a church. Bought 4 trash cans and a sack of buttons. Continued my quest on to Little Elm, Krugerville, Aubrey, Pilot Point, Gunter (bought 2 paid of leather gloves for $1.00 each), Van Alstyne, Anna, Melissa (bought metal desk, chair, file cabinet and a trunk) and then back home... Unloaded all my treasures and then ran to Home Depot and WalMart for paint. Thanks to my friend Kyle's recommendation, I went to the "Oops" paint section. Didn't even know this existed, BUT, I do now! If a customer buys paint, and it's not the color they expected, and returns it, then they mark it $5.00 for the gallon. I got a cute shade of light green. Also smaller cans for .50 cents.

On a mission to find a discarded chair, still in good shape, to paint and "bling out." Maybe next weekend! Could become an occassional Saturday excursion for me.

Colton and Dylan spent the night, so that Tazz and Ashley could enjoy a night out at Texoma. They were cashed out on the couch at 11pm!

Friday...

Resume complete and emailed out to 12 different contacts/companies. Now, let's see what happens!

Worked out with Danny after taking the kids to school, then headed to Frisco, so he could get a hair cut. Stopped by "Salad Creations" for lunch, it was great! Hobby Lobby was the next stop, to find wooden items that I can "bling." Came back home and worked in flower beds for a little while. Cooked brownies, and had them ready and still warm when the kids got home. Cooked dinner as well. Watched a little TV, read with my Kindle and nodded off just before midnight.

Loved the sunshine!!!
