Busy week

Well, I'm back home and off again. I've had someone quit in Hutchinson, KS. (another fallout from the revamped pay structure) and someone in Junction City is on funeral leave. I have to cover these positions until I can hire someone who will work for food. Though this could seem like a real challenge for me, it only ends up being an 8 hour day, with 5 hours of driving. This is only until Thursday and then it's a 6 hour day, which includes 2 hours driving.

School is out for the twins and that makes it so much easier to manage work. I'll take 12 hours picking cotton(I've actually done this) over putting the girls hair up (seems like it takes 12 hours) any day.

Annie and Hallie said they really missed me when I was away. They took turns laying next to me while I was napping(not letting me sleep) and telling me about their week. Hallie wants me to quit my so called job and stay home(a girl after my own heart) The ice cream man will be making a regular run down our street(they know where the sales are) and I am a key player in her obtaining her "Tweety Bird" Popsicle. They run "Mission Ice Cream" in a manner that would make any Special Ops member proud. When they hear the truck music coming from the next county, they stand out in the front yard and wait for visible sighting. When the truck is approximately 6 blocks away, traveling at 5 miles an hour, Annie will wildly wave her arms over her head in a criss-cross manner(she's been eyeing detour signs at the road construction on the other block) and Hallie will race into the house with the urgency of the house on fire and I am to race to the money tree out back and pluck the dollar bills.

Annie is the child of my adopted daughter and is Caucasian. She doesn't know that I am not her biological grandfather. So she was thinking(her favorite things to do) and said to me that she now realizes that she is half Mexican. I asked "Which half?" and she replied "My brown eyes and my stomach, because I like Taco Bell!"(she may be right. I'm the same)
