How Lucky Can You Be?

There are so many things going on to be grateful for right now. 1.) WOW child finally got a job. It seems like he has been unemployed forever. It isn't the most glamorous job, but a job and he is happy. 2.) Superman has been taking classes to get into college. Needed a few developmental classes. He took his placement test and passed with excellent scores! When he took the test the last time for the English portion, the report said that "obviously he didn't know what he was doing and could not communicate well". He has been spending two semester working on gettinge the Math classes behind him and he "studied" You Tube for English help for the test. This time he received "excellent use" and scores for his essay. He is officially a College Student now! 3.) On the way to his new job WOW child hit a deer yesterday. Luckily, he was not hurt and the damage to the car is fixable. Of course since it was an older car, there was only liability on it, so we will have to front the repairs. He will need a new hood and headlight assembly, and some hammering to bang out some dents. I could not be more pleased that he is SAFE. Living in a rural area we see many deer that have been hit and hear it often from our own house (we live near the highway). Hard to believe that we have not hit one before.

Now, if I could only get the lottery numbers right! We try to buy one ticket a week (when we fill up with gas).

I finally got the Reindeer Games quilt top put together. I ordered the backing yesterday and hope to get it Saturday. Then I can get it loaded into the quilt frame and FINISHED. I have many pieces of Christmas fabric still out. I need to start the Santa Wall Hangings that I am going to give several people for Christmas. I will start cutting that out tonight. In the mornings I have lots of energy (I am a morning person), but by the time I get home from work, it is quite diminished. Superman is going to Waco to see our son and go to college orientation on Monday. He will be paying the tuition bill. And, surprise, surprise, Superman registered for college last night. He has decided to take some courses at the local Jr. College. I think it will be good for him. Anyway, while he is away, I should be able to get lots of sewing done. He made me promise to take time to clean house though. Not on my list, but it will get done.
