What a busy Saturday!!

This day started out early.  Awake by 6, bath and get ready for the day.  Woke everyone up by 7, out the door by 7:20.  Off to find some yard sales with Kyle, Hannah and Grandma.  Busy with this til about 11, lunch at Chickfila, then a quick trip to Sam's.  Hanna was ill, so we went home without buying groceries. 
Home and tucked Hannah into the recliner with lots of drugs on board.  Did the dishes...bathed Lucy in the sink...bathed Cooper in the sink...took a 15 minute nap.  Worked on the computer a bit, got ready and left for College Station again around 4 pm.  Unexpected visit with Kristi and  Caroline, and then groceries.  Lots of coupons and bargain shopping later, I left with two buggies of food .  Haven't spent that much on groceries in a while,  but we were out of everything!

Home again with the food, Kyle and Hannah helped unload.  Hannah and I cleaned out refrig and freezer, putting the food away as we went.   Supper (rotissere chicken!) was delicious, and then Hannah wanted a cake.  We had no frosting and no powdered sugar, so I googled a recipe that onlu used sugar, milk, flour, butter and vanilla.  Wow!  Delicious too!

Amidst all of this, we have had guests, puppies run away, laundry was done and now I am blogging.  I am exhausted.  Think it might be time to turn in!!

I have a new driver in the house...

Hannah is a driver now.  After two attempts at the driving test, we left Brenham last month with a license.  We waited just a little bit and then went and purchased a car.  I was not going to do that- I was never going to be the parent that got their kid a new car- but here we are.  Not brand new, but very new.  She has a 2011 Dodge Nitro.  Large enough, safe, waranteed, AAA membership, and insured.  I do not want to talk about the ways this will make me broke....trust that it will.  :-)

It has been a season of change around here- not just the new driver.  I took a new job this week.  I am now working for a neurorecovery center in Conroe, Touchstone.  I will be traveling quite a bit.  That will be new for our family.  I will be covering New Mexico, Texas and anywhere else Ann needs me to be.  I love the job so far.  It is a wonderful opportunity for me.  A great position for an LVN.  I sure hope I can make the travel work with our family.  Having Hannah drive sure helps.  We will see how it goes.  Blessed by the job and by the opportunity.
