Today was the big day for me at work. My 90 day probation is over on Monday, and today I was promoted to the IT director at work along with a nice raise. I was also given an incentive for another raise in six months if all goes well. Horray.  The week since I took over has been tough, but not as bad as I had thought. The best news about it is that it is retroactive and the raise will be on my check tomorrow, isn’t that a nice Fourth of July treat. My family is very proud of me and the hard work, hours and dedication that I have put in over the years to get an opportunity like this.

Tonight my husband and I went down to the lot to check out the progress and was pleasantly surprised that the trusses were delivered and the framing will start tomorrow and probably finish up on Tuesday. This house construction project is going much faster than we had originally expected. The beginning of the process was very long and pain stacking, but now it is definitely worth the frustration. It is so exciting to watch the project from start to finish and think that in less than two months we will be moved in.

My daughter is bored being at home on summer break from school. We taped a few work out shows off of the TV so that she can exercise and get some movement during the day instead of being cooped up. I feel sorry for her to not have anyone to talk to but the dog and a few friends on the phone. Her best friend in visiting in Louisiana so she is very alone. I wish I could lay low at the house or venture out and have some fun with her verses working.  The three day weekend will be a great break for me. My last bit of relaxation before school starts. I always enjoy three day weekends; I actually get one day to relax verses the norm of doing housework over the weekend.  Ahhh relax…
