Saturday I went to Louisville to see a concert and saw four other people from Rockcastle Co. I told my husband it’s a small world after all.
When sewing factory shutdown it was the icing on the cake that the government decided they were going to pay for me to go to school.
I bend over backwards day after day for my family but no ever says thank you for everything you do.

A Combination of Idioms
It was a blessing in disguise that my mother was sick as a dog today when out of the blue my truck tore up. I called her and said, “The apple of your eye needs to use your vehicle.” She told me “When pigs fly” I said “But Mom ,my back is up against the wall and I really need to go to school today.” She just looked at me like I had lost my head I said “Come on let bygones be bygones I am tired of being in the dog house over the last time I wrecked your car.” She said “Okay I am turning over a new leaf today we will start from scratch it will all be water under the bridge here are the keys.”
I am at my wits end trying to figure out anymore of these to write.

Add Fuel To The Fire
When my son and daughter are having a disagreement I try to stay out of it because any thing I say will only add fuel to the fire. If I say anything it would be considered taking sides so the other child would feel that I think more of the other child. Sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut.
The Ends Justify The Means
My family has started a new venture. They have opened a grocery store and deli. I have invested a lot of money in their venture. If they make a go of it and I get my money back plus then the end will justify the money I invested.
We Are All In The Same Boat
When we were all working at Rockcastle Mfg. we all had different jobs to perform, but we were all in the same boat. Some people don’t believe this, but we all had a job to do to receive our paychecks. When the plant closed we all lost our jobs. Now we are all doing the same thing in our school classes. Yes, we are all in the same boat.
At Wits End
I am at wits end trying to figure out what to write about in today’s language class. There are only so many thoughts left in this brain of mine. I also have come to the end of the page. So what you have now is all you get.
