I can’t say just how excited to be, that the country club is allowing our crew to do a major landscaping makeover, we didn’t get every project we wanted but to have the opportunity to do what’s assigned will surely lead to more doors opening. I stressed over this job for weeks, working and changing my plans about to get them to see we can do the perfect job.
This means a summer full of long hours but assures us of a job for the summer, the way the economy is I’m happy to get what we have. Chris is overjoyed to be around a pool full of bikinis and happy hours that will be close to work.
I had a few e-mails asking if I finished off that Dagwood sandwich Bee made me, of course I did and almost had room for a donut. --- I was miserable later and gave the Bowflex an extra workout that night.
This weekend Lori and I watched Twilight twice, she didn’t seem to get the movie as much as the books. That’s pretty common since the book goes into greater detail than the slide show of a movie. She asked me over and over why his lips were so bright and why it seemed to be in black and white. I gave her the spiel about how it needed to look dark and dreary and his lips needed to look that way because vampires have blood stained lips. She gave me a “eww” on that and snuggled in tighter under me.
During the second showing I knew the topic would change, she rambled on how the main girl in the movie (Bella) parents weren’t together anymore. But that she seemed to get along with her dad really well, unlike we do with ours. I asked her how exactly she doesn’t get along with our Pops, and in her slow but blunt way she told me. “I don’t like his loud voice, he yells at you and Jacks and makes Mommy cry and sometimes he slams”. I was worried the old fool was picking on her; if he has, she never admitted to it.
She’s worried that Jacks won’t come home anymore, I told her not to even think like that. That he loves her more than she could ever imagine and would be home soon enough to pick on her and make her giggle. Just sometimes its best to stay out of someone’s way when they are so angry, she asked me “like the vampires have to stay away from the werewolves. “ --- Exactly.
Sunday came in and hoping the grandparents would be home from the vacation but its two weeks not one, so I had to fiend for myself on the Sunday dinner and lunch scene.
Monday rolled up and I received the good news about the new job and have been running ever since. Now, if I can keep a slight document on how that progress goes it should be interesting, all that fun will start next Monday.
Thanks for all the well wishes!

YaY congrats on getting the job. Sounds gr4pes! My students and daughter have been into the Twilight series too recently, so I just now have gotten around to checking them out. I can see the attraction :) I was told that the movie doesn't do the book justice, but of course that can never really be done anyway. Prose rules!
