I'm surviving work...worked yesterday but was put on call today and did not have to go in...the part of me that did not want to work 4 days in a row was pleased...the part of me that likes a paycheck was not so thrilled....so I will definitely be working Sat and Sun. but two days in a row is not usually a problem...plus I make more $$ on weekends...on to more interesting news.... two weekends ago Scott showed chickens in the 4-H chicken show. His chickens did not place for an award. This past weekend was the sale for the animals....Scott had to walk into the center ring and hold up a bag of three chickens and people bid on them. It's funny how it works. He actually was handed a bag of fresh chickens from HEB to hold up. He is not actually selling HIS chickens. Apparently that's how it works. Weird right? Some community leaders and business men/ owners come out and bid on the animals....I guess they get the fresh chicken if they want it....the actual chickens are still at dad's place. Anyway, the whole point of it is to teach the kids responsibility and how to care for the animals and they are congratulated on a job well done by having people bid on their animals. Scott will earn about $400! Hopefully it will be put up and used to get him started for purchasing his animals next year....They plan on letting the actual chickens grow a little more and get fatter and then they are going to kill (oh my!), clean and eat them. Oh, I'm feeling queasy!!!! :-(

Good luck this weekend on working! Think about....ca-ching$$$!
That is awesome Scott! I think the 3L's need to do something like this. Such a great idea to teach kids. Plus, earning a little money too. I am sure it still is hard work and a big responsibility. So proud of him!!! He looks handsome in his Cowboy hat. A true Texan!
Awesome for Scott!! quite the Cowboy!!
Save that money!!!
