Braxton playing Basketball




Braxton has enjoyed playing basketball this year. Here's some photo's. The first one was his reaction after he made a foul shot.

Breakfast in Bed!




Braxton lost a bet to me and owed me breakfast in bed. I thought he had forgotten about it but sevreal weeks later he finally remembered. He is really good at that without having to loss the bet though. On several occasions he has brought me pancakes, eggs, bacon, and juice. He is so sweet and thoughtful.

Everyone needs a best friend like Shelly!


Monday was an awful day! I found out that one of the companies I work for was closing it's doors. I was shocked as well as everyone else. They made the announcement in the afternoon and handed us all a paper explaining what would be happening with our final checks and benefits. Lucky for me I work for 2 companies and one of them wasn't closing down. They offered a job to me but with a $3.00 an hour cut in pay. (They were only use to paying half my wage and didn't want to step up and pay the entire amount) Ouch!!!!! I didn't dare pass it up knowing how many people didn't have a job. I however, am a little stressed and feeling demoted. I will be doing basically the same things I have been doing for over a year now just making less. It's hard to feel devalued. On Tuesday, flowers arrived at my work. These colorful daisies made a situation a little better and brightened my day. My friend Shelly is an awesome friend. She is always there when I need someone to talk to or lift me up when I am down. I am so lucky to have a friend like Shelly.
