Rest day

I did my shopping at 7:30 am yesterday. The boys missed the bus, so I drove them both to their respective schools. I swung by the grocery store afterwards. It opens at 7:30 am. I was surprised that there were other shoppers busy in the store that early.

I bought the basics and then picked up a box of Reeces Pieces cereal for the boys. Its a big treat for me to buy junky cereal. It was a great call because today when the boys got up for school, I did not have to work. I went back to bed after telling them of the cereal in the kitchen. I knew they would not fight with a full fresh box of Reeces pieces to fill their mouths at breakfast. Peace reined and they didn't miss the bus either.

I slept in until 9:00 am. I had bible study at 9:30 am or I would have probably still slept. I feel for the boys with this being their first full week of school. I needed my break after the days I have been working at my new job. I can see I will like my work.

I was told to ratchet down the enthusiasm a little, not try so hard. Tom payed me the compliment that I was a little over qualified, but he was pleased I got a job and am working, even at this pay grade.

I am catching on quickly. Having never really worked retail, it has been a steep learning curve, but it seems to come to me easily from the feed back I am getting. I can see my next challenge is learning the details of each shoe and why it is special and has earned a spot in the store. There are similar competitors in shoe manufacturing, but my boss is experienced and knows the vendors that work well with us as a low volume customer and high service orientation.

The seasonal changes will be an adventure to learn. I am looking forward to the boots arrival in a week
