One of my roles at my job is to direct facilities maintenance and construction. We are about to remodel an office and build another one. In order to continue to serve our members, the work will need to primarily occur before and after our business hours. Starting tomorrow and for the next few weeks, my day starts at 4:30am. Or, when I am taking the late shift, my day wont start until noon and end at 9pm. (e-stinkin- gads) In a way it is a good thing, as I will have a few hours of uninterrupted work time each morning or evening...AND on the days I work early, I will be getting off at about 2pm.

Tonight, DD1 and I visited Kohls. She had 30% off. I found a great sale for kids clothes...t-shirts and shorts on sale for $2.20 each. My DD2 recently became a foster parent to two beautiful little ones.
The little girl is 2 1/2 and the little boy is 5 months old. The mother is only 18 and was in a very abusive situation- but was also not doing well caring for the babies. THe little boy has a flat head from being left in his car seat day and night (literally). Poor little guy also had no leg muscles as he was not held up or ever put in a bouncer. VERY sad situation. Anyways, we scored at kohls using the 30% off. I got both of the foster children 4 shirts and a pair of shorts for only $15!! I also picked up a baby shower gift for a co-worker.

FINALLY, my garden has truly taken off. The plants all look happy and are growing like crazy. There are lots of signs of veggies to come!!

Well, I suppose I better get some sleep. I have a feeling 4:15 is going to come mighty quickly once I close my eyes!!
