So many things to do, so little time to do them.

We've actually got several things accomplished lately. I'm doing pretty well on getting all of the customers and jobs put into the software for the business. It will take some time to get all the kinks worked out but it's coming. CJ went and bought a new truck yesterday. He got the DBA done - we're officially Take 5 Cuts. And he got the business account at the bank opened. This week I'll be working on a logo, business cards and a face letter for the customers to introduce us.

Morgan's mouth is healing very nicely. He had his 18 month well check yesterday and the Dr said it looked just fine. I left my papers in the exam room so I have no idea what his measurements are except he is 21 lbs 13 oz. So his weight is evening out. I just looked in Tanner's book to see how big he was - 22lbs. Can you believe that? That's amazing to me given he was 2 1/2 lbs bigger than Tanner at birth!

Sunday we signed Tanner and Grace up for baseball. Yup, I said it, Grace too. At first she said she wanted to continue GymKats but when we got there she changed her mind. She'll be playing in the mini's (3&4 yr olds - t-ball), and Tanner moves up to coach pitch this year. Should be interesting. I'll keep you posted.

It's been raining here for two days now. Which we desperately needed and normally I would be happy because that would mean a short day for CJ. Now, all I think is "if they're not mowing we're not making any money and nobody's getting paid!" I'm a little stressed about the money situation right now because it seems like the numbers that were presented to us were a little inflated. Well, maybe not inflated, but he used the numbers from the last 12 months. Well, the business is very different now than it was 12 months ago. I have faith in CJ though. Together we'll get things straightened out and get more accounts if we need to. I'm just very anxious to see the actual numbers. September 1st I officially take over all office duties and I'm glad. (I'm a control freak you know!)

Enjoy your day!

Rain, rain, go away..come again this winter! Everything will even out, can't cut dead grass anyway. After it stops raining, the grass will be growing and growing! Folks will be busy with school and activities and won't have time to mow their lawns...WHO should they get to cut their lawns??? TAKE FIVE CUTS!! :) It's gonna get busy right before the holidays, I GUARANTEE it.

As one of few guys that reads and comments on your blog..... What kind of truck did CJ buy??? Good choice of names "Take Five Cuts" Cool, mine was named "The Lawn Works" back when I was running professionally.
