Summer's about over & School's about to start!

Hi Everyone!

I am sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of months. It has been a very busy summer at the Club. But, that is not all that has kept me away; I have been rather depressed & unsocial able. I have done everything possible at work to maintain the office and to work very hard at getting a new POS system to work and to be able to get the information that we need, working up to 11 hours OT a week, plus having 5-6 bosses wanting information; I have found out that they want me out - you know in that don't come out and say it way, but make your life a living H type way and blame you for things you have no control over. I am not a quitter! I will not quit until I found another job or they let me go. After all the hard work I have put in since April, I am hoping they just let me go; I need a vacation, which since they considered me "part-time" I did not qualify for. I have been there for 1 year and 5 months without a break, working full time hours for all but maybe 6 months at the beginning. *sigh* I am sorry for my rambling but I am very upset over all this.

I am hoping that in the next few months I will be able to make up some new items for you. I have a lot of new ideas that I am excited about and I can't wait to get started again! I love my crafting time and have missed it very much.

Michelle has a big week in front of her. School starts on Wednesday, she has a good friend from Washington flying in on Tuesday night, and the Anime Convention starts on Friday night! Since I will be stuck in a hotel room for most of the weekend, I am packing up my paints and supplies to work on while we are there. Just in time for the Country Fried Prims monthly launch on the 15th! Although, I am sure I will be listing the new items a few days late. Sorry!

I just want to say in closing Thank You! for your patience and loyalty throughout the craziness of summer and my job!

God Bless, and remember - He never gives you more than you can handle!

Summer Time = Busy Time!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a great summer so far.

Jessica has been wedding shopping and found some flowers she wanted so I took her shopping at Hobby Lobby. She showed me the flowers that she wanted and we bought them and, I hope, all the flowers we will need for the bouquets & boutonnières. When I was asking her questions about how she wanted the bouquets to look she put her hands on her face and said "Oh, Mom, I didn't know this was going to be so hard! I don't know!" I had to laugh at her and told her that "I am here to help you and to point out things I know you haven't thought of." I still can't believe she will be getting married!

Michelle is still recovering from the mono and has to take geometery in a summer class. She was so ill at the end of the school year there just was no way she could get the grade up to pass. Plus, she finds that math subjects are quite challanging for her. Poor girl is so worried that she won't pass because it is a class all on the computer and she still is not understanding it. On the upside, she is wanting to take golf lessons this summer and wants to go out for golf this fall at school.

Work has been keeping me even more busy than usual! About 40 hours a week now, and some overtime. I was working around 30 hours! I am finding that with work, mowing the yard, and the usual summer activities, it is hard to find time to do some crafting. Although, I do have some great ideas in the works for you, and I will make time, of course, for the Country Fried Prims site which will be launching new items on June 15. So be sure to stop by my shop then for my new creations!

Take care and God bless!
