A blessed day

I'm trying to post pics from the last few days, however blogger seems to be in a bad mood. I'll have to try again later.

This week has been fan-tastic! The kids went back to school and it is a light week at the slaughterhouse so I've decided to take most of the week off from going down there. I still have the paperwork and that sort of thing to take care of from home, but it has been SO NICE to be home all day long ALONE while the kids are at school. I miss my true SAHM days. It was so much easier to get things done when I had several hours at home alone. Now I work almost every day until the kids get out of school (later than that a couple of days a week) and then we rush to get homework done and rush to run here and there, etc. It's been a much needed change of pace. I even made a pot of coffee this afternoon and sat down at the computer to just relax. ahhh Supper was put in the crock pot earlier today so I don't even have to make dinner this evening. It is a really good day.

We're having some repair work done our much loved mini-van so we are down to just one vehicle. My friend has been picking Maya up for school in the mornings (happens to be Maya's best friends mom too). Today she picked Maya up and her daughter came to the door and brought me a bottle of wine. Haaa! She does ME a favor yet SHE is the one to bring gifts. What a doll! :) She doesn't drink at all (not that I drink very much; but I do enjoy a glass of wine every now and then). I assume she was given a gift, and she said she didn't want it to go to waste. It won't!
