The week's winding down, and I still have to pinch myself before I head out the door in the morning to go to work. I'm heading next door and I'm my own boss. Someone once said that owning your own business was a lot more work. No truer words were ever spoken! I'm exhausted at the end of a day. But I've never been happier with a job!!
Do you remember the post I did on my middle son, Justin? Well, Justin is working in the movie theatre now, selling popcorn and movie tickets. He's proud to be working... but even more proud that he was able to get his family in to see Cars 2 Free! He treated Rissa and Jake with free popcorn, huge soda's and candy of their choice. Little noses were pressed against the candy counter and Justin kept saying, 'pick out whatever you want.. anything at all. I'm buying'. There were a few mishaps... like when Jackie (son #1) handed Lindsey (daughter) the huge coke and the lid wasn't on tight - coke spilled out all over Lindsey and Rissa who was standing right beneath the coke. Ick. The kids were a little restless in the movie.. It was hard for them to follow... not as good as the first Cars. But we didn't tell Justin - I don't think I've seen him that happy in a long time. Then Rissa and Jake were running and playing after the movie outside of the theatre and Rissa fell and skinned her knee. She screamed a blood curdling scream and Justin came running out to make sure she was ok. She was. She just needed a band aid.

Jake was so worried about her. He kept asking her if she was ok - she screamed 'no! get away!!!' and he said, 'Rissi, let me blow it for you...' So cute!!
Dear Diary,
I sniffed out Mom's Peanut M&M stash... they were hidden in a basket right by her chair. I barked. I nudged. I barked some more. Dad said, 'What is she barking at?' Mom said, 'I don't know.' (but she did) Then Mom took me aside, put my face in her hands and got real close. 'Thanks for getting me in trouble,' she said. (She's supposed to be on a diet) And so I'M to blame that she is sneaking M&M's??? No surprise there. Gracie.
