It has been so long since I've blogged! My job during December made my life interesting to say the least. Working in retail during December is like playing one of those never ending video games. My first day was Black Friday! Thankfully, I was only a bagger. However, my feet still killed me and my shoulders were sore. Over all, I decided I was going to love working there; since I just really like people. Anyway, as December charged on I was trained on the register and became a cashier. I had a couple of days where I thought perhaps I would cry or faint from the utter meanness of some people. For the most part, though, I can smile and do my job without grief.
My house, oh my house! My hubby is a gem and does what he can, but toilets are not his thing. I AM NOT AN OCD! But, I do like to keep my house pretty clean. So my mornings are crammed with breakfast, checking email and facebook, washing dishes, cleaning surfaces, folding laundry, and normal mommy things. I usually work all afternoon until after supper. That leaves my poor hubby to scrounge up something to feed the birdies. (our 3 girls). He is being stretched in his culinary expertise or lack thereof. We manage!
Christmas was lovely! I had off the 24th (my second daughter's birthday) and 25th; so we went to Houston to stay with my mother in law. I slept for 3 hours after we sufficiently celebrated my daughter's birthday. The hours of standing and smiling had caught up with me! My mother in law graciously offered to keep the girls for 4 more days! So, hubby and I came home and missed our girlies. I had to work the 26th and 27th and was hit with hurrican force by a cold. All my customers came up and said, "Ew, you are sick, aren't you?" So comforting. I suppose they all thought I would give them swine flu if I handed them their receipt. So I methodically washed my hands with sanitizer after vain attempts to stay the flow out of my nose. Thank the Lord I had yesterday off to lay around and recuperate. My hubby even made me a yummy sandwich for lunch. Such a sweetie!
So, my girls come home today and then I will have to go to work a few minutes later, bummer. Oh well, I can hug them and sqeeze them and call them George tonight. (looney toons flashback)
