Pulse Check... Okay good.

Well another month has gone by and I have totally disapeared from the Internet world... some may say what happened... well I can give you a four letter word for my explaintion as to why and it is W O R K. Yep that's right it's work... I have been working like a slave driver at work getting my staff at the factory up and good and also getting our new hires for the factory all on the same page. I have been doing 10-12 hour days for the last 9 weeks... last week was my first real 8-5 kind of week and let me tell you I'm exhausted. I have been totally ignoring my children and bouncing around at work like a crazy person... it's been horrible... but like I mentioned before things are getting easier. But this is only short term let me tell you in the next couple of weeks we will be up to 3 shifts and probably going 24-7 at the factory... so longer days are coming (sigh) yeah! I know that since we have a process for all of our staff and for the associates it has been so much easier... so this is life right now... work... work and more work.

Last month we had a visit from Jackie and Marcus with their two kiddos. We actaully met them up in Hartford to visit mom and Terry and we brought our kiddos and went to this cool wildlife tour. It was awsome fun for the kids. We rode in a huge golf cart and got to see deer and buffalo up close and personal. I think the girls had a great time. It was to cold for swimming but they did fly kites and that was fun to watch from the porch.

Tait had a birthday and we didn't do anything too exciting. I made him his favorite meal and had chinese and we had jello cake... this was my first attempt at it and it was good well Tait really enjoyed it.

We haven't gone anywhere really with the kids I mean the last two weekends I had to do some audits on our files at work so I was working... so no time to do even that.

We did have a HUGE garage sale in our housing division and we got Lehna and Maya a battery operated Jeep she LOVES it... Lehna that is... Maya is totally content jsut riding along... we know it won't last long with her just "riding" but Lehna has asked allllll summer for one and the neighbor had one for 50 bucks so we couldn't pass the price... and we figured that in winter she wouldn't be able to ride it for winter time... so we went for it. It's really been a good "be good toy" or you we'll take it away as well. So it's been kind of busy but that's what' s going on... I hope that this weekend I have stuff to update...
