So my little 4 hour shift today turned into a 6.5 hour nightmare! The person who was supposed to send me the information I needed didn't send it until way after the time that it should have been there. By the time I had downloaded it and printed it I was really late for picking up my kids and for my dad's birthday dinner. According to my sil, my kids and her kids did not behave their best today, either. I feel bad because she offered to take them for me and have my dad's dinner at her house, so she was really helping me out and then she supremely got the short end of the stick with poorly behaved kids, me working way later than I thought and my dh having to put in 2 hours of overtime to get his job done on time. Oh! What a day! That's the thing about family, I guess. Next time it will be my turn to cover for her. She was very good about it, though. We get along very well, although I wouldn't say we were great friends. I'm very close to my brother, but sil and I are just very different personality-wise.

I'm so glad that tomorrow is September! My favourite month...I love fall and back to school and my birthday is in September, too. We're going to do a big grocery shop tomorrow.

The extra 20 dollars that my work owed me ended up being 65.00 because I received money from something else that I had done that I didn't know I'd be getting extra for...so I actually ended a month with spending money in my wallet--what a concept! This is the last week where I'll be covering two positions. Next week I start full time doing the job that I love with my favourite manager of all time! I'll be working in her office with her some days and then evenings on my own. I got a new desk, a phone, and a laptop...I am very excited!
