Pickle Time

Well I have had a bad day today. Between mean customers and only being able to see my Grandma and Grandpa Heintz for 45 minutes, I've got a headache and I'm irritated. I decided to can some pickles to ease my frustration. It always helps me feel better when I cook, bake, or can something. 

I got my first crop of cucumbers today and was pretty proud of myself for canning 3 jars of pickles. (While cutting my finger on the slicer in the process). I hope these pickles turn out ok. I made a ton of pickles last year and I only got like 2 slices. People wanted to buy them by the jar full last year. 

Grandma and Granda Heintz was driving from Idaho (they went to pick up Lilah to take her to Phoenix for school) and they wanted to stop by and see us. The original plan was that they were going to spend the weekend. Grandpa hurt his back and they are going to go home earlier then expected. I was glad I got to see them for at least an hour and visit. I just got off the phone with them and they have settled down for the night in Flagstaff. I love you Grandpa and Grandma. Drive back home to Florida safe and sound. Get that back fixed Grandpa so we can do lots of things when you come next year. 

Been stressed out about Kristina. I don't want to get into to much detail about whats going on with her right now. All i can say is that she needs to figure out what the hell she wants and do it! I am being pulled into her dramatic life and its giving me ulcers and migraines. I am always there 110% when she needs me, but when it starts effecting my health and my mood, I need to back away and let her deal with it. I love you Kristina! I have loved you longer :) I will be there if you need any advice or positive lifestyles. But I physically can't deal with it anymore. 

Anyways, Im gonna close for tonight. I'm mentally exhausted and ready for the weekend. I am looking forward to the Washington County Fair and Toni Tait's wedding. Its gonna be a fun weekend! Night All :)

Trace's 1st Day of Preschool

Trace's First Day of School - Preschool It was so much harder to drop Trace off at school. My little boy has been so excited to start school. He needs some friends, some socialization, and a good place to learn. I took Trace to school and had to stay an hour to make sure he was ok. He played with puzzles the first couple minutes. Sat on the rug after cleanup. Everytime some other child would touch him, he would move away. It was breakfast time, and I help his table pass around the food, and open their milks. After that I just sat back and watched to see how Trace would handle all the kids. He seemed to do just fine, just unsure about what they wanted him to do. After we cleaned up  breakfast, I stood back and he played with puzzles again. I told him I loved him and he said bye to me and I left. I was really worried about how he would do. Would he nap? Would I have the same problems as they did with Cason? Would he be easier or harder to handle? Come to find out, he did nap, and h...

Cason's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Cason's First Week of School - Kindergarten So many mixed emotions for me. I took Cason to his first day of school and I  felt so sad to leave him there. He did great and is already learning so much. His teacher is Mrs. Christensen (Shelley is how I know her, she used to be my young women's teacher). I hope she is able to keep Cason in line. He has to have his mind constantly doing something challenging or he gets bored and gets into trouble. So far, so good. Lets hope he doesn't cause her too much grief this year! He wants to be a fire fighter Cason next to Vincent
