Broken Ears

The other day I read heather's blog about broken ears. Apperantly her little girl tells her that her ears are broken when asked to do something.
Well thinking it cute and funny (it is always funny when it is not your own kid) I tell Matt and Patrick. Well Patrick thinks he is pretty funny.
I asked him to walk Bogie (a task he hates to do) he looks at me and says, what mom I think my ears are broken.
Being a smart kid and old enough to understand "the look" jumps up and gets bogie to take hin on a walk as soon as he got "the look".

Afirmative Action

This last week I have been working on an Affirmative Action Plan and it has sucked!
Now don't get me wrong. I am a believer in Affirmative Action. However, I am not such a big fan of putting them together. There is so many steps to take. I have had to print off a million reports to put in the hard copy of the plan. This is just in case any employees or god forbid the EEOC wants to see it. Then I have had to write narratives. I had do do a business summary and a narrative with an action plan on how we are going to try to "fix" where we are under utilizing women or minorities and a narrative explaining our community involvement and how that has encouraged women and minorities to apply. I have not even began working on the veterans section!
However, I cannot complain too much. I knew that I would have certain things like this to deal with on my job. Hopefully it is easier to put together next year!

Weather

There is not much about Burley that is better than Idaho Falls, but one thing that is better in Burley is the weather. We do not have any snow. Not to say we have not gotten snow, but when it snows it usually is gone soon after it stops snowing. It also is warmer. We have had a few cold days where is has gotten into the 20's and some in the 30'. But for the most part it is in the low to mid 40's.
Wednesday I went to work in snow and come home with sunshine and most of the snow melting. It is weird, but I sure love it.

Moving Day

Friday was moving day. I hate moving. It is a lot of work!
I don't mind packing things up, but I sure hate to move it and unpack it. You have to figure out where you are going to put things and then you can never find them! This morning I have no idea what hapened to the pair of shoes I wanted to wear today. Even though it is a pain it already is so nice. This house is so quiet, we only hear each other and we control the smell!
We bought a new washer and dryer. We have not hooked them up yet so we had to go to the old house do to laundry. So we walked in and the smell about knocked me over. The smell of cigarette smoke was so strong I thought I was going to puke. Then when we were putting our clothes away they all smelt like an ash tray. So that made me wonder did I go to work smelling like that? Or was it faint enough that it really could not be smelt? Anyway those days are gone. All we have left is to clear out the fridge and clean and cleaning should not take us that long.
So while it was a pain to move and to unpack it is all worth it in the end.
