Back to a Regular Work week

It was back to 'the snuff-mine' as my dad would say when we were growing up. Which means, it is back to the same old thing at work. I really didn't look forward to getting up this morning and going to work, but I did and now it is that time of day that I always reflect on the happenings of the day. Alot went on today. I was able to take Mason to lunch today (he didn't have anything better to do today!!) It was nice. I learned a bit about what went on at work last night. It was his first night to close. He worked from 4pm til 10pm. and he also, worked this evening 4pm - 8pm. I know I have said this before, but I am really proud of my kids and their jobs. It could all go sore tomorrow but up til now, it is very good and they are making extra money and actually saving it. That is something I insisted on. They both gave me the usual "but it is MY money. I worked for it" song and dance. So I had to give them my song and dance, which is. "Yes, it is YOUR money and You DID work for it. But it is MY job to teach you how to manage it so that when you get out on your own, you don't get into debt" So we sit down and agree to put it in their own bank account and take out a certain amount each week. (it is a very small amount, usually 10% of their earnings). Jesse did not like it at all when she got her first job, but over the past 2 1/2 years she has learned how to do it and has saved a substantial amount and been able to buy some things she wanted with the money she takes out each week. Mason is just beginning this learning process and it is a challenge for me. Well, I know you all really really wanted to know all of that. NOT. Forgive me for going on.
I did manage to get to the gym this evening, but I was too late to do 'bodypump'. So I ended up cycling for 30mins.
Jesse had a tough day today. I won't go into any details but suffice it to say, she will be fine, just has a few days of thinking and dealing with regular teenage troubles. Kenny and I are both in agreement that it is hard to sit back and watch your child be in pain and know that there is nothing you can do except be there for them and let time do it's thing.
No rain today so I started in on my painting again. I am down to only two more chairs to paint and I will be done. (I am so ready for that).
Won't bore everyone anymore tonight. I will save some for tomorrow. lol..
