Waaaaaa

I am soooo tired of April.  My favorite month has let us all down this year.  The plants are loving it, but I NEED sun.  The dark wet days have not stopped the line of proposals that have marched in all within one week.  Alex, a niece in Cincinnati, and a frequent visitor has become engaged.  Alyssa a granddaughter who is the daughter of Beth, our son's wife, became engaged over the weekend.  I am going to have to buy some dancing shoes.  I have this strange feeling that all the Columbus and Cincinnati grandchildren are heading for marriage in the near future.  I could be wrong and find I am often wrong as of late.

My nose is out of joint not only with the weather but with domestic help as well.  Everyone is busy and working which is great, but they also seem to have a sudden inflated sense of entitlement, now asking nearly $40. an hour.  It comes out to $37. an hour and change but as a teacher, I never made $40. an hour, not even close and even now, according to Google, an elementary teacher currently makes $28.37 an hour, and a secondary teacher makes $36.05 an hour. I am simply not having it.  I don't care if the dust is up to my knees I will never pay $40. (tax free I am sure about that) an hour to have my house cleaned.  A few years ago I paid $40. a day to have the same house cleaned and it was well done to boot, and, they were not out the door in four hours as they are now.  I know that was then, this is now but I am still not having it.

I have tried to stay out of the kitchen during these snits.  Things do not turn out well when I am slamming and stirring and shifting and swearing.  I need to get a grip before I pick up a knife. lol

I hope your April is pleasant.
