Another Job!
Life is crazy! I am so behind on Blogging! Who has time for that when I am still trying to figure out how to work 2 jobs, run the kids, clean house cook meals etc etc! Well God is Good! He has Blessed me with a wonderful neighbor! Sadly he will be moving in a couple weeks and will not be around but my dear husband is getting a little better so least he can drive now!
That helps ALOT! I have somehow inherited this 2nd job working at a close by nursing home!
It is nice and I get to see 2 of my class mates each day I am there which is neat! Everyone is so nice there!!!
This is the tiny Salon in the Nursing Home I been working the past 3 weeks...Yes I have been working here part time on top of my full time job to help make up for Bill not working due to a bad back!
I am Trusting God that something Good will happen soon! I cannot make enough to support us though the 12 hr days are killing me and I am thoroughly exhausted,
it all has to help!
This is the full view in these 2 pics..it is very small but nice! I am hoping to be done after 1 more week! The ladies love their hair does and I hear it all the time from the staff!!! just last night I was asked about doing this full time, it is so wonderful to be recognized as this but I just can't as I couldn't make enough and I would miss giving pedicures facials etc:)
Most of the residents come in wheelchairs so I am constantly moving the chair it is a lot of bending, lifting etc! I think my hands are completely dried out from the washing of heads:) ha! I do 5-7 people a day! This job I do after my other one and it is Tuesday through Friday as My other one is Wednesday through Saturday!

Life has been BUSY!!! I got a 2nd job working at the local nursing home doing hair! I started last Wednesday and working Monday through Friday besides my other hair salon job! I kinda inherited it as they called our salon looking for someone to fill in as their main girl is off on leave due to eye surgery! This is a bit stressful as my back hurts daily from the bending! most of the residents are in wheelchairs... None the less I have to do this for 3 weeks or so and i am thankful for extra work as my poor hubby is not working due to a bad back and falling on ice did him in! So I am going to be Thankful that God is taking care of us.... We celebrated my mom turning 61 just made a small dinner and did some spa services for my parents they needed done, and now our salon is ripped up as we are re painting it! So much going on I will have to post pics soon!!!
Have a Blessed Day... BUSY BUSY:)
NEW YEARS 2012
I been so busy there hasn't been time to post about our New Years eve!!! Every year I take the kiddos to our Local Rec center for some family fun events! We played Lazer tag, Bingo, they did some walleyball, and played on the blow up stuff they set up, line dancing, and got face painting done! It was a fun time they also do door prizes, and pass out noise makers and new years head bands just before midnight! Then we watch and count down the ball dropping to Midnight! Here are some pictures from the night! :)

Kalahari tour
Well our dear friends we met from Africa along with our dearest friend Marilyn have all gone back to Tanzania, Africa.
Sad to see them leave! They went back, their 18 hr flight. Marilyn having to teach 80 students the next day! Pretty amazing for a lady in her mid 60's to do all she does!
Below we took them all for a Kalahari tour...Kalahari offers a wide range of fun mainly they are known for their water park there! It is HUGE! We wanted to enjoy their faces so the kids and I along with Marilyn took them to see this!!!
We got to watch them make these HUGE pizzas through the window! So fun!!!
All of us! we were still bundled up from being outside and the water park is So hot and stuffy! The chlorine is very strong smelling too!
It was fun! I made them a wonderful meal of 2 kinds of Quiches, potatoes, mixed fruit, blueberry bagels, and tried to ask them what their favorite american food is now and they had no answer as they love it all:) We will miss them!
Marilyn will be back to visit in 3 yrs! sighzzzzzz...She really likes it there!
We miss her already!
