Well my best friends son just got out of drug rehab and I have to say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look as good as he does today. It’s is an awful shame when kids get into this kind of trouble, but thankfully for him he has very supportive parents. As this is his third time in rehab, I’m not quite sure how this is going to turn out. But everyone who knows him is really hoping for the best. Hopefully this time the rehab took and now his mother will have one less thing to worry about.

Last night at work I received a pretty great compliment from a couple of my customers. The informed me that last night’s service was the friendliest service that they had received at a restaurant in a very long time. Well this made me feel pretty good. Every time I start to get discouraged and think about maybe looking into a health care career instead of working in the service industry, something like this happens that makes me glad I’m a waitress. So I guess I’ll stick with my current profession for a little while longer.

Well my husband’s first day back to work after his vacation was quite different to say the least. He spent the entire day helping his boss move. I know at one point he was really wishing that his boss had hired some cross country moving companies to help him with this move. Yes, he did get paid for the day, but I’m really sure my husband would have rather been doing his regular work than helping his boss move. But they were able to get it all done yesterday, so I guess this part of his job is finished. At least until the next time his boss decides to move.

Last week it rained almost every day. We were unable to do much of anything due to the heavy rains even though it was the week that we were both on vacation. I guess we should have looked into Orlando vacations instead of planning to take the kids camping. But it’s a new week and hopefully later on this week I’ll be able to do something fun with them. But the weatherman is telling me that we are going to get rain for at least the next three days. So I guess we will have to wait and see what later in the week brings.

My husband and I were both on holidays this week. And even though we weren’t able to get any camping done, it still turned out to be a pretty expensive week. He had to take his car in for inspection and it failed. So he had to purchase quite a few parts and had to spend the entire day yesterday putting them on. So even though we didn’t spend a lot of money camping and having fun, we did end up spending a lot of money on car parts. He is now back at the mechanic’s shop trying to see if his car passes. If it does, hopefully we will then be able to go out and do something fun. If not, I guess it looks like we will not be doing much of anything.

My husband and I were able to both get the same week off for our vacations. We had plans of taking the kids camping, but the weatherman has decided not to work with us on that one. It has been raining steady for the past three days and the long range forecast doesn’t look much better. So if we do in fact get rained out, we are really going to have to find something else to do. Hopefully towards the end of the week we will be able to get some camping done, but if not I’m sure we’ll be able to find something else fun for the kids to do.

So the invitation companies are working really hard at getting a piece of this business. Lately I have seen a lot of commercial for Oktoberfest Invitations. I really hadn’t thought that Oktoberfest would be an event that invitations would be given out for. But after seeing so many advertisements for Oktoberfest Party Invitations I’m really starting to think that this event is a huge event for some people. The amount of invitations Oktoberfest that a person has to choose from is pretty large. And the look and style of these party Oktoberfest invitations are pretty cool too. See… I can learn something new every day.

Tomorrow is the final day of school for the children this year. My daughter has pretty much cleared everything out of her desk and has brought everything home. My son, on the other hand, has put all this work off. So today is the day that he will end up bringing everything home. That’s quite a bit of stuff for a little boy. I have been after him for the past week to bring stuff home, but he left it all to the last minute. So he’s going to be carrying a pretty heavy load when he gets off the bus today. Maybe this will teach him not to leave things to the last minute. I doubt it. But a mother can always hope now can’t she?!

Well if your looking for that perfect gift for any man in your life, then I’ve got the perfect gift for you. You could always purchase them Spring Airsoft Guns. These Spring Airsoft Guns are perfect for the young as well as the young at heart. My youngest son would love a spring airsoft gun of his own to be able to go out and enjoy a fun little sport with his father. My husband has his own gun airsoft spring and has a blast with it every time he goes out with it. So for all the men in your life, seriously think about picking up some spring air soft guns and watch their faces light up.
