Wed. On The Homefront

Good Morning!

One more day until my baby turns 14 years old! I bought a cake mix to make her a cake. Still not sure what we will do tomorrow....

My son has found peace with his decision to not go to the police academy. He now is looking into becoming a Winn Dixie dept. manager. His boss was overjoyed when he told her of his plans, She has raved to me in the past when I had gone in there that he has over reached all expectations she had of him when she hired him. He will be moving to the first full time position that comes available and work his way up from there. At least he has a new plan, I think this is more in line with his personality and he should do very well with it.

We still haven't heard back from the Food Stamp agency yet.. or gotten his first unemployment check yet either. The electric bill was due on Monday so I guess by this weekend we will be getting the shut off notice. I hope to use the unemployment check to pay that bill $236.00, the problem is since we haven't heard back from the food stamps if I use all of the unemployment money for that we may not have any food money....
I am getting a number of Florida gardening books out from the library to see if I can get a garden going this year. I say it ever year but this year we really need it. The goats have been very good lately and have stayed in their pen but I will still have to really enclose it to protect it from them if they do get out. So many of the gardens I see down here just don't do well because of the heat & too much sun. One neighbor uses a tarp over his garden which is an idea, but I am thinking of putting our garden on the north side of the house which get's a bit of shade that may help it from drying up so quickly. Anyway, that is my new project to keep my mind from going crazy with our no money no job issues.

My son did get a e-mail from the wrestling compnay that they will return him the $40.00 in 5 to 15 days, So that is one good thing : )

Well I hope everyone has a great day today.....

I was so happy to hear that your son has made his decision in the workplace. Good for him! Also happy to hear that he will be getting his money back from the wrestling company. I know that must be a big relief.

Have fun with your gardening project. We have some potted vegetable plants, like tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers that I usually plant in the early spring. When the sun gets too hot I just move them around into the shade. I would love to have a big garden though. I hope that yours is a success.
