Well, I survived my first harvest. For the most part. There are still yields to process, but payroll is going down, and the workload is dwindling. Maybe I can finally tackle all of the piles of paper that have accumulated during harvest. I am drowning in grain tickets and mileage logs. I still love my job, and still want to continue working for the farm. I certainly have learned a lot about agriculture!
This week the radio station I listen to (when Kat isn't in the car) had a contest going on. Be caller 10 and you get your name in a drawing for an IPod nano. I was late leaving work today, and just as I was getting on the freeway my cell phone rang. It was the radio station telling me that I won the IPod! Kat told my mom last week that she wants an Ipod nano for Christmas. That's the only reason that I called in. Now mom and I have 1/3 of Christmas taken care of. Tori will be hard. She either wants a professional level camera or a laptop. I think that I get the laptop first, so that will probably be her graduation gift.
I can't believe that I am talking about Christmas already. Didn't New Year's just happen? Wasn't I just unemployed? This year has just flown by. But in a good way. I am ready to finish this year and start a new one. Not that this has been a bad year. I just keep moving forward in life, and am anticipating more blessings.
So in a nutshell, I love my job, my kids are great, the year is moving too fast, and life is good again. And, back to the last boring post about finances, That, too, is improving.
