Taking A Little Break

The new hours at work are still a bit of an adjustment for the family. Last week wasn't so bad and the week before - the same, because I had inventory, so I went in after hours to do that, and worked only till 5 or 6 the rest of the week. This week however, in order to get in my 45 hours, and with the week day operating hours being 12 to 9, I have worked open to close. I don't mind - I was going in at 8 or 9 and staying till 6 or 7, so a 10 hour shift is nothing - it's the time frame that's killer. Tim, has been a champ since Jake works nights too, so he's been with the little guys at night by himself! (which, let me just say, will!!! drive you koo koo for cocoa puffs!) So while I'm having fun at work finding new ways to destroy dvds (Matt melted them in big stacks last night with the shrink wrap gun).....



......Tim has been at home, with the boys. Last night they cleaned their room. This morning, Zach couldn't find his shoes. So, being as cleaning - just means toss it in in a bin. I untossed it. I have been working on going through Legos, Army men, action figures, puzzle pieces, all morning. I am going to work for a bit, and after school we will finish this ever fun project. Perhaps, next time, Zach will think about leaving his shoes out, and not throwing them in with his toys. :)

I have done this before, and my Mom would do it to us. She would flip our toy box and you had to go through everything. If you had one odd Barbie shoe it was history. I dumped 4 bags of trash, broken toys, cardboard, pieces of games. I have a box of puzzle pieces - I'd say 1000, but Max doesn't have any 1000 piece puzzles, so how many puzzles do we have???
