Stinky and Sweet

 Sweet: We've made buckets of frosting for Sarah's cake decorating class and this decorator grade is pure Crisco. It's so thick it broke a mixer. We surprised our personal chefs (IE the tattooed eyebrow pierced dudes at Little Caesar's) with cupcakes to thank them for feeding us every week. 

 

  Stinky:  Russ' job.  He's been working 70-80 hours a week for months for half the pay.  Quota unachievable.  Not fun to see him under so much pressure.  But I married Chuck Norris.  He doesn't complain...he's tough.  He works from home so no one at work has any idea the hours he's pulling.  Hoping things change in April with a new sales year.

No longer stinky:  The bubbles overflowed onto the floor and they covered the walls.  Just part of the fun of having 1 o'clock church.

Sweet:  Chad got voted into 2nd place for the high school talent search and as a reward got to open for the Brett Hite concert!  He sang "She Loves You" by the Beetles, felt like a rock star on stage, and afterwards stood on stage smiling with his arms in the air flashing the peace sign soaking in all the screams.

Super sweet:  My two bros!  Curtis...my look-a-like... stopped by for 40 minutes during a lay over.  Loved it!  A couple of days later he was Mitt Romney's flight attendant.

Sweet:  Took 6 kids (I'm a nice neighbor like that) to science night.  Blows me away what the community does for our school.  Our favorites:  seeing Jupiter's moons and a nebula with a high powered telescope on the front lawn and the live one eyed owl.

Sweet and Stinky:   Sweet that Sarah is paying for her own outfits now that she is mildly rich due to babysitting jobs after handing out resumes/business cards.  Stinky that she's growing up so fast!  Sometimes I miss her already.
