Field Trips,Furniture,and Such

The kids are very excited about the field trips they get to do here. Ayden already got to go on his first field trip. It was on Friday and they went over to a training obstacle course on Ft. Rich. The whole class had to work on the course as a team, it is to build communication and teamwork in the class. They had an absolute blast and needless to say he came MUDDY! It was nerve recking to send him after reading the waiver about the risk of injury and death... but it was from the Army, and they want to cover their butts from any possible lawsuits. Mr. Newsome explained it to them and us worrisome parents to relieve our worries, and in the end I am glad we let him participate. Autumn will be going on her first field trip on the 6th to a theatre (like the Philharmonic). She doesn't really understand what she will be seeing... she just loves the thought of going on a field trip. We'll see if she thinks it was all that once she goes.... I wish I was able to go with her, but I will be working. Speaking of work, I thought I should mention how well it is going for me. I have been promoted and gotten a raise already!! I knew being a freak about details would work out in the end. I am now a "Brand Leader", which entails making sure the women's department is always in tip-top shape. I am going to be spending my days making sure the pants are folded right, straightened, the clothes are on hangers the right ways and sized correctly. It all sounds boring and there is more to it than I can explain, but presentation is huge to stores. I know I hate shopping in a store when its a mess... think of ROSS... no matter how good the deals are, you get frustrated when you have to dodge around the messes to get something off the shelf. Well anyways, I am excited and looking forward to the challenges. So far I am enjoying my experience working with Target... maybe a little sick of Khaki and red already, but I can handle it.
We were supposed to have our furniture delivered yesterday, and they even brought it to the house. But after they got the over sized chair in and then the couch half way in, they asked us to sign an addendum. We very quickly refused because we noticed rub marks on the chair as the were bringing in the couch (which they had stuck in the walkway). So needless to say, they took the furniture back and we are still waiting to hear when we will get another delivery. Next time we will just have them deliver to the house and Adam and I will bring it in. We already measured and will have to bring it in through the living room window... did I mention how small the living room in this place is??!! HE-HE! I just keep telling myself that it is just temporary....just temporary!
