The Crittenden's

<--- Disregard for now.

Today started early. Earlier than usual for a Saturday. I woke up from a text from a friend at 6:30 and kept talking to her and then I got up forcefully by myself at 8:00. Then it was go go go go all day. We had a project to do outside. We are doing the side yard, AGAIN, and this time we are going to complete it. It is looking so gosh darn good. Last night, mom and whoever else, took all the rock we had on the side and took it out and dumped it on the patio. There was a ton of rock. Today, mom and i made a contraption that served as a 'stainer.' We then had to take at least 4 shovel fulls of rock and dump it onto the strainer and then we shook all the dirt out of the rock. This was no easy task. There was dirk everywhere! I am however the only one that looked like they got dirty. I don' t understand why either. So, here are the after pictures of me. I will show you the side yard when it is totally finished.

I got hurt. I was lifting a big bucket full of dirt and it was so heavy. The bucket broke and it clipped me. I am surprised my fingernail didn't break halfway down. It made me bleed and it hurt when I washed it but then it was back to work for me.

After 3+ hours of doing all that, I washed my face and Bubba and Jaden got lunch. I ate that and then got ready for work. I took a twenty minute shower I think. I washed my hair twice and soaped up twice...and shaved my legs. It felt so good to take a shower.

I went to work and thank goodness I was only working a four hour shift. I was so tired. Shoveling rock is not the easiest thing to do. But, it was my last day as a cashier. Sad sad. My managers cried. Well, two of them. I got a couple numbers and addresses from co-workers. Who knows if they will write back but I have made some good friends and was very sad to leave. I almost cried. They gave me a cookie cake (which was not very good). It said "we will miss you Amanda." How sweet of them to do that for me. They totally didn't want me to go. I was one of their best employees. Anyway. I am guarenteed a job back with them when I get back. And the best part of it all is...I DON'T HAVE TO WORK SUNDAY'S ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!!! :)

Below is the cookie cake they gave me. :)
