I am wondering what people think about about my employees sometimes! It amazes me how certain employees that have been with me for years and some for months can act like they just started or how they on certain days just completely lose all memory of their daily job duties! Granted we are all entitled to a bad day but come on several days in a week! This statement also sometimes goes for the kids but I expect pre-teens and teens to forget but not on a daily level like my employees! I have to Say that most days my kids are better about doing their chores than my employees are about doing their job! I give applause to my husband though because he is a true leader, he can deal with situations in a very professional way sometimes not a quite way but still professional not to where I stay quite and stew about stuff he says what's on his mind and doesn't give it anymore thought! I could imagine life without him
Opening Soon!!!
I am happy to say that i will be opening a store soon in my area for vintage, uniques, antiques, crafts & collectibles. i have decided to name it
The Eagle's Nest
i am set to open at the 1st of 2010 and maybe sooner than that it all depends if i can get everything up and going.
i will have enough booths of all shapes and sizes to fill a 2400 square foot area with enough room to add more as needed.
i will try and blog about my process as i go. at this moment i am working on a logo so i can start advertising.

Slamily Reunion
On August 1st & 2nd, 2009 we traveled to what was advertised to be the
GODFATHER of all CAR SHOWS!
The Slamily Reunion 2009!
It was held in Fort Smith, Arkansas. This will be the first car show I give a not so good review this year.
the first issue that i have with the show is that i feel that the location of the show was great. It was held at the Knights of Columbus Park on Columbus Acres Road. 
My problem with this is that you didn't know what time the event registration started or ended, what time the judging started, or the time that the awards were going to be presented. My next issue is the cost of the entry and the cost for spectators to come enjoy the beauty & the craftsmanship of these rides. Show entry was $30 if you preregistered and $35 the day of the show. Spectator entry was $10 per day or $20 weekend pass (where's the break there) no matter the age of the spectator. Needless to say their were not alot of spectators. The show was centered around the younger crowd (low riders) not really a show for the classic car folks. There were over 300 + entries and 95 % of them were lowriders. Granted those are always some awesome rides just some (not all of the entries) where loud and drunken smarties. 
They didn't care who was near when they dropped their rear ends and dragged across they gravel parking lot throwing gravel everywhere and hitting several cars and scratching the paint jobs. i was not a fan of any of that. It was suppose to have numerous hot rod magazines there, but in the end was announced that only one was there before the show only for one ride and it was pre-arranged. It was supposed to be a family event and to me it was just a druck fest with nothing for a kid to do, and really nothing for a adult to do either.
There was however one contest that ray did enter. It was the jalapeno eating contest.....
The prize was for a dvd in car system. He almost won by a half of second but the guy beside him finished before he did.
he suffered for a while afterwards but i'm proud to say that he did great concerning up until about a year and a half ago he wouldn't even eat them.
The folks that attended the show with us was my buddy Ray P. & Rick P. with there black 29 sedan truck.
and he won 1st for his class and also won best interior. which i might add had a misspelling on it award(although it was cool)
reunion is not spelled correctly.

They even started making up classes just to get rid of the awards.
Bob & Wanda Crass also joined us there and they won 2nd in there class.

Everybody has their own reasons for blogging. I blog because it is my way of voicing my opinion about something with out having to be confrontational about it with someone. I avoid a confrontation at all cost unless I have just completely had my fill and that's takes a lot! Even after I am in a confrontation I feel bad about it after because I do not like the feeling of being hurter to someone. I blog because without having family living close they can check out my blog to watch the happenings of our life and to views my bragging post. I also blog because I can get something off my chest and notice its out there I feel like saying ok that's how I feel and I won't keep thinking about it cause it is bottled up inside getting worst and worst the longer I think about it. That's why I blog and I hope you understand!!!!!

I have been working on my blog all afternoon. Since the accountants were there today to go over the books I finally had a chance to work on it a little more. I still have several more things to do to it but slowly but surely it is coming along.
Well the first weeks of school have been a success so far. Ashley and Cody love being back at school and are likeing mostly all their new teachers. Cody is the one I was mainly worried about cause he is not a social butterfly like me and Ashley. He is more like Ray, he has to be spoken to before he will just walk up and start conversation with random individuals that he has never seen before. But to my surprise he is doing great and there were a few kids he already knew. Best of all is he loves his reach teacher (gifted & talented) which I am very pleased about. Also I am pretty pleased w/the fact that I have been doing great with my new hours I set at the office

Just a quick note to let everyone who reads my blog that I am sorry if I have confused anyone if the title change and new graphic on my blog! I am changing it up and hopefully will have it done this week...
Want2inspire was a good title for a while but since I have started my blog so many changes have been made that it really just doesn't fit anymore! Not saying that I don't want to inspire anymore I do but I have such a great and meaningful life that I want to share that with you and I think that blogging about our hobbies, the kids, daily happenings, our life at the company and life at home will also inspire! Have a great day and more changes to come soon!!!!

my wonders
she never seizes to amaze me.
she is always making me laugh (whether i want to or not).
she can awaken a room with the tone of her voicing yelling through the hallway as soon as she gets home
"MOM I"M HOME!!!! MOM YOU PRETTY MOM YOU PRETTY".
she is a little bossy at times but knows when she should and when she shouldn't.
she is a great big sister.
she is the reason i did not have to come to work either dirty, smelly or naked cause she has done my laundry all summer (not going to mention the part about losing some of my items to others drawers or closets but she can't be perfect.)
she is going to be a senior and i am having a very hard time with this.
i remember her first day of kindergarten, hair in a bow with backpack in hand and i cried all the way there and all the way home
and this year as she leaves to head to school on her very own driving her hummer down the driveway
i will cry just knowing that
this is
the last first day of school for my little girl
who still colors me pictures and bring them to work for me to hang up at my desk...
