Hey, Mouse, glad you made it back safely. The trailer your bil made for y'all was a great idea, and I know it really helped make the ride more comfortable for y'all. I think all that beef is a great thing, too...that's a good gift, one that keeps on giving, long after Christmas is over. I am so sorry that Matt came down so sick...it's just so crummy to be sick while you're on vacation, and I hope he gets completely well, very soon, and of course, I hope the same thing for Jerry, too.

The dgk's still haven't showed up for their Christmas, and I don't know why. They were supposed to be here yesterday, around 4pm, but at 5pm, when I called to check on them, the mom's cell phone wouldn't answer, and there was no answer at Nanny and Poppy's house, either. So I'll try later on today, probably after we get back from the grocery store.

As for my schedule, I have absolutely NO idea, lol. Cheryl told me Wednesday that since the holidays were over, she was going to try and get second shift back on a regular schedule, so I'll find out today. E. and I went in for coffee yesterday evening, and Kisha told me that her schedule had her down for 10 days straight...and since it's done in two weeks time, there will be no overtime for doing it. She, of course, is protesting, lol, and I don't blame her. That's a long stretch of days, even for somebody as young as Kisha is...she's about 18, I think. Working those kind of hours will make you old before your time, tho.

Nope, no black-eyed peas at the Waffle House, unless someone brought them in for themselves. And I never bothered to cook them here, like I had planned...I just plain didn't want to go to the grocery store, lol.

As for the house, you're right...baby steps, baby steps....and do NOT forget routines, either...routines take about 28 days to become a habit, but once they're established, they make a huge difference. Do things 15 minutes at a time...that makes a major difference, too, as you won't get worn out as fast, and it's truly amazing how much you can do in 15 minutes when you're focused. Good luck!

Again, glad you made it home safely. God bless.
