Momentum
It’s been a fairly momentous Tuesday – so busy that I didn’t blog. {Sarcasm here folks}
I set up an account with Shop Natural. I wanted to be SAGE but both the other groups in town are SAGE – SAGE Buying Company; SAGE Co-op…..so I told them our name was S A Groceries Etc – and I’d think of ANOTHER name. The lady asked if I didn’t have ANY other names that I’d considered. I admitted I had considered GASEOUS – she laughed at the name but did not find my motto humorous at all: GASEOUS – if it gives you gas and tastes like dirt – it’s good for you! BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. She offered to send me software that will allow each member to upload their OWN order and I’ll compile them all and send them in. That way the company will make invoices for each member and I just have to add the splits and $1 fee. This month I’ll have to do it the “old way”. She was surprised that more clubs aren’t using the software.
Arielle, Nolan, Zander, Stacia and I went to the lake today with Charly and her children. This was a first. Charly and her family attend the chapel. We’d wanted to do this before but both Mick and Zander are “handfuls”. Both have been on Feingold for 3 weeks so we tried it. I thought it went fairly well. Sure – they were boys and there were discipline issues…but Zander was actually SOCIAL – playing WITH Mick and not having melt downs when Mick touched him. Both boys responded when disciplined. We were able to visit a bit. This was cool.
I lost one more pound this past week. OK – so not incredibly momentous – but in my life it is fairly significant. Ah but what IS momentous is that I fit into the jeans a size smaller!!! These are the ones I wore when I got pregnant…so they aren’t my all-time-skinny-jeans…but I’m working my way back into the depths of my closet.
I suspect Stacia has a tooth under the surface. I got a glimpse when trying to get antibiotics in her mouth. She’s on to us. I used to wait for her to scream and shoot it down the back/side of her mouth – causing her to involuntarily swallow the nasty stuff…..but now she clamps her mouth shut the minute you put her in the “medicine hold”. {bg}
Bible study was good. Beth Moore was talking about God’s unfailing love. She talked about Mark 12:28 – 30; my life verses. I do enjoy Beth’s lectures.
At home I was already getting orders and splits for SAGE. SO….I had Mike teach me how to use excel while we waited for Josiah to get home from work. I think we may have to tell Chick Fil A that he can only close 2 or 3 nights a week. They have him closing 5 nights a week….and that is getting tough for a kid in high school. When they hired him they said they “hoped” to give him 15 – 20 hours – the amount he wanted. He’s been getting 20 – 30 each week….probably 35 this week. We KNEW once he got a job the employer would realize what he had and he’d get lots of hours. {G}
That’s Tuesday – now on with Wednesday.
