I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday! I really enjoy my job, but the weekends when I have more time to spend with my husband and family is what it's all about. My days at work are so full and I am very tired when I get home every day. I take care of infants at a day care and they are so dependent on their caregivers. I absolutely love to care for them. They are such precious little people. I'm hoping my love and care will make a positive impact on their lives. They love me too, and it's so nice to be loved! I have very good co-workers to work with too, so I do have interactions with grown-ups. Tomorrow I only work til 2:00. Hooray!!!
I may do a little shopping tomorrow. I found a nice little food store that sells at a real discount. Their lunchmeat and cheese is the cheapest I've found and it's good. They had popcorn chicken for $8.95 for 10 pounds and we are really enjoying that excellent buy! The workers are all Amish or Mennonite and they are so polite.
We're getting the grandchildren tomorrow evening again and I really look forward to that. My grandson is in 8th grade and he has a lot of assignments to keep up on. I try to help him to study for Spelling, Bible, etc. (they go to a Christian school). They are required to read 1,200 pages of good books in a year, which I think is a really good idea. My grandson wasn't too keen on reading at first, but he is finding it interesting now that he is reading. He has read a book about Billy Sunday, Robert E Lee and I can't remember the third one! My forgetter keeps getting better and better!
I wonder how many people would pay to have someone else clip, sort and mail coupons. I tried to do that on ebay, with little success. Any ideas?
I have a nice collection of stainless steel lifetime guaranteed cookware from Townecraft. My husband got me a new set of pans for Christmas. I really like my pans, but I don't have the strength to lift them without anything in them, let alone WITH something in them! I thought about selling on ebay, but the shipping would be so high! A friend of mine may know of someone who may be interested, but I haven't heard back from her. Do any of you know of someone who may be interested?
It's January again and our $10 per year occupational privilege tax is now $52.00. So now, we get to pay $1.00 per week for the privilege of working! People keep coming up with ways to take our money, pretty soon, we won't be getting any, all we'll get is the privilege to live, eat and sleep. But, you know, I am truly thankful that I can work and that I do have a roof over my head. My husband has always been such a good provider. I tell him often, if he would be paid what he is worth, he would be getting a much higher salary. That is not a prejudiced statement either.
Well I guess I'm done rambling today!

Have you looked into selling entire coupon inserts on eBay? Some people prefer to buy them that way so they'll get a good variety ... Just a thought.
Also, that "occupational privilege tax" - is that just if you're working? Or is it the one we used to call the "head tax" (i.e. you have to pay it for the privilege of breathing the air in your county, whether you work or not)? Absolutely unbelievable!!
