Mrs, the job is going well. Today when I came back from lunch there was a box sitting on my desk. I had no idea what it could be, I haven't told anyone where my office is so nobody could send me anything. Well, I opened and inside was a sweet note from an elderly gentleman I helped with his accounts the other day saying that he made this gift, it's one of his hobbies and he wanted to thank me for being so nice to him. There in the box is one of the most beautiful wooden bowls I have ever seen. I was speechless and very touched. I didn't do anything spectacular, just doing my job and being polite and it touched him enough he sent this to me. I love it. But, one of the managers walked by and said he doesn't think I can keep it since we are not allowed to accept gifts from clients, I will find out on Wednesday if I have to send it back. I would hate to insult this lovely man, he was just being kind. But it made me feel good that someone appreciated what I had done.
I talked to my MIL today. I called to see how our friend was holding up after the funeral. She's doing as well as can be expected. Her family leaves tomorrow, my MIL is going to try and stay another week and they may come to visit us here next weekend. We would love that.
Anyway, MIL said that she made sure everyone knows that I wanted to be there. She also said that our friend said right to STBX & OW that "XXX loved Shades and the girls as much as life itself." I love her.
MIL said OW was nice but given the circumstance she would have to be. She said she only talked to STBX & OW for about 20 mintues total and FIL didn't really talk to them at all and left right after the service to fly out of the country.
I would have had problems getting home had I gone because my flight is one out of Chicago that was cancelled the other day. That wouldn't have been good.
Last night the girls school was having a fundraiser, so we went and ate BBQ and each grade got up and sang a song. It was sweet. Then we had snow cones and came home and went to bed.
Tonight was dinner and a movie at home with my sis & bil. Tomorrow we have the Brownie Bash for D9, a bday party for D5 to go to and then I am going out with my gf for her bday. Never a moment of peace around here. But I love being mom and running them around. Laundry can wait until Sunday.
