Hot Hot Hot

What a wonderful summer we are having, what a wonderful time to STRIKE! Hot Hot weather . . . so hot that my pool is hot. Here are the kids and hubby enjoying the pool. I think the pool read 90 degrees. WOW.



Here is Ayana jumping into the pool. Boy I can't wait for my deck and I'm getting it next year no matter what! Income tax is going to help keep Menards in business.


Oh, Cyrano jumping off the ladder too. Better not let dad see you . . . tooo late







Okay . . . here I am :) with Ayana

Another ones "bites" the dust

Another tooth gone :) I didn't help this time, Cyrano did it all on his own. I know, I know I'm a picture taken fool . . . love the shots thou!
Blood! Blood! and more BLOOD!

Toothless

Cyrano loses another tooth! Check out the blood on this one :) I pulled it out. It was hanging, he finished the job.




ITS HOT! 98+ degrees, my pool is 94 degrees, its not even nice to get in it. Tooo hot, almost like a jacuzzi but without the bubbles.

Rat Scab F_ _ _ 's

Oh what a wonderful day . . . today I had a supervisor almost hit me on the line. When I was in drivers training, I was told you had to STOP at the stop sign not 10 feet after it. Well, the walking strikers have the right away, the right to walk and once a car approaches, stops at the stop sign, the walking strikers continue to walk out of their way so the car can proceed with driving. Well today, a supervisor decided not to stop at the stop sign and then when I yelled at him to "hey STOP at the stop sign, not 10ft after it", the supervisor put his car in park, jumped out and threatened me saying " Don't mess with me "girl"" WHAT THE FUCK! I did nothing wrong. Obviously the hot, overworked, understaffed working conditions are getting to him. HA - HA! Bastard! He was one promoted for his skill and ability. His skill of coming on board the bargaining committee, getting informationa and the ability to tell management what we were doing. What a BNAK, brown - nose'n - ass - kisser. Here is a picture of what this supervisor looks like as I give him a big hug! Bastard!

Not Knitting - Sewing!

Went shopping yesterday with Julie :) and picked up some fabric from Joann's like 70% off stuff. I decided to get out the sewing machine and make a purse. I love it. I even made a checkbook cover. I have other yards to make others, which I'm sure I will. I have been knitting too. I picked up some Noro from Wool and Company in Geneva - LOVE THAT STORE - and have been knitting away. I picked up a ton of handles, hoping to be knitting pretty seriously over the next few weeks. I'm hoping to sell a few. Happy Knitting to you all . . . and sewing too :)
