My apologies

Yes, I'm still alive!

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while.
The past two weeks or so have been quite overwhelming to say the least. Both my jobs have been extra demanding of my time lately and my time on the computer has been limited due to the fact that my three year old has now learned how to load on his own and play "Thomas the tank engine" games all by himself. I tried to get on the other day after I got home from work and he told me, "tomowoe daddy". I waited a few hours and snuck in after he started watching TV and he immediately ran into the room and shouted, "Daddy, I said tomowoe".
I had to laugh.
By the time I wanted to get on, the other 4 were fighting about when it would be their turn. This is the way it's been for a couple of weeks now. I've been spending most of my time lately in front of the TV and falling asleep early in the evening.
Also, I'm in the process of refinancing my mortgage and any of MY computer time has been tied up with sending documents back and forth to the company.

My main job is in a prison. Two weeks ago one of my 3 workers lost his job in my shop because he got in a fight on his company block. For this reason he is not allowed to work back in the kitchen. I work in a butcher shop equiped with knives and such and we don't allow inmates who have, (pardon the pun) a "beef" with anyone. He was my best worker too. Alas, I'm required to pick up the slack in the workload until administration decides on who they will fill that position with. Needless to say I've had my hands full. I'm not one bit afraid to work right along with my guys but receiveng deliveries for 1200 inmates and getting the food set up for 3 or 4 days in advance with proper thaw time and storage plus checking deliveries and reordering errors is a whole job by itself. I've been pretty damned tired at night.

Plus, the restaurant I work at on the weekends is just now swinging into spring time season which means all those people stuck in their houses for the winter are breaking out of their cabin fever mode and going out to dinner. It's been busier than we had expected. I get home at night feeling like someone beat me with a baseball bat. Especially after working 7 to 3 on Fri. and going to work at the restuarant from 5 to 10.
I'm not complaining about the work, just apologizing for not being present here as much as I'd like to be.

So, again, I'm sorry I've been absent and I promise I'll try to get to a new post or two as soon as I can pry my little one from the keyboard.

Loves and hugs to all of you.
XOXOXO

Oh yea, by the way....

Happy St.Patty's day!
