Long weekend....

It has been a busy, crazy week. No new pictures to share, so I thought I would post this one of my daughters and me, a long time ago. The toddler in the picture is 28 now, so yea, it's been awhile ago.  We've been going through old pictures to put on a dvd for my folk's 60th anniversary...my niece is making it for us....and it's been fun!

I worked on some receiving blankets for gifts one night, but forgot to take pictures of them. I have also been having back problems for the past 2 weeks, so have been going to physical therapy. My sacroiliac joint is out, or off, or something that happens when it doesn't all line up like it is supposed to.  It is better, but still sore. Keeping moving helps it, not hurts it, so that is good in my job!

The school district is installing a new library software program for us (Follett Destiny) so there have been some things I had to do to get ready for that, too, this week. Plus we won't be able to enter any new books into the system until it is completed, which could be several weeks, so I have been trying to get as many of my new books in the computer, with cataloging, as I could before yesterday. Doing this in between kids, I didn't get as much done as I would've liked, but it will wait.  Then we go 2 days without any software, but checking out books anyway (yea, I am nervous about that) and have a full day of training on Thursday next week. Not sure why they didn't just let us close for 3 days, (believe me, I have enough work sitting there to keep me busy for several weeks) and then start up right, but I guess this way will be more exciting!

I am off til Tuesday so hope to get some quilting & cleaning done. Notice which one is first.

Now, Jean......you silly gal...you KNOW why they didn't let you close for 3 days (which would have made sense and minimized the possibility of books being lost somehow). It's because some MAN with a "clipboard job" in the main office somewhere didn't see the logic of that. Now...in all likelihood, said man has never worked "in the trenches" and doesn't understand what is involved, BUT...he is allowed to make the decisions anyway!!! LOL

Hopefully your back pain will ease up soon. I'd suggest some gentle pushing on your sewing machine foot pedal and the enjoyment of some quality quilting time.

What a great picture of you and your kids Jean! I'm so sorry that your back is still giving you fits and I sure hope that PT helps. Good luck w/that new software!
