After a LONG two-week 5 interview process, I got the job at Target!! I start tomorrow! I will be a "Team Lead" (aka: Assistant Manager) for the night crew. The next two and a half months are going to be kind of crazy with the holidays and getting adjusted to my new schedule, but I look forward to this opportunity to work for a great company with great benefits and a promising future! (Don't I sound like a model employee already??)
Don't you love how our kids get to be spotlighted and what-not in their classes?? What it should really be called is: "Mommy Homework." I think I did okay, how about you??
I like to think of it more as INDEPENDENT.... Today I decided to "finish" cleaning our outside windows. Equipment required: ladder, glass cleaner, and lots of paper towels...another person(optional?). Well, to make a long story short: I fell off of the ladder, heard a "popping" noise and hurt my knee. I did not break anything; but, I need to go in Monday morning for an MRI. The doctor is almost certain I tore my ACL..."OUCH!!"
Heels, sleek pants and all!!

It's impressive to me that the pictures made it look all clean and organized. In reality it felt like a giant sticky mess!
Maddie was a really good sport about mommy being so busy...she found good use for all of the extra bottle rings... I could never get her to be still long enough to get a picture of her when both arms were full up to her elbows where she couldn't even bend them.
The end results: 48 pints of pears, 21 quarts of apples, 35 pints of apples,
21 quarts of applesauce, 63 pints of pureed plums for juice, 49 pints of peaches,
and a fourth of my deep freeze full of bags of sliced peaches.
We dressed up for the occasion. Here are our renditions of the characters:
