just me

I can't believe I haven't blogged since April. I am hoping to start blogging regularly again and with some very cool things.
After being home so long and then going to back to work I had to find some balance in my life and honestly some things had to go. And one of those things was being on the computer all the time. I am hardly on here at all now but hoping to at least jump on here once a day and at least say Hi.
So stay tuned for lots of new and neat things coming....

Life is crazy but a very good kind of crazy.. Work is wonderful. I still don't like getting up at 5:30 am but I love getting up and going to work .. Kids are all doing good and finally the weather is beautiful. We have been playing outside and getting some yard work done. I can't wait to plant some flowers.
Here is the best part about the nice weather. Getting out on the bike and just riding.
Well time to get some stuff done but I promise to be a better blogger.

Had my 3rd interview yesterday and it was actually fun. I interviewed with the VP of the company and he asks very different questions but like I said fun. I also had to ask him 10 questions for them to answer so that was nice. I asked about how long it would take for the decision making process and he told me they would discuss it today and that the HR person would call me by the end of the week or the first of next week if they decide to make me an offer. Which means waiting.. and waiting some more. I don't want to get my hopes to high on this but I am very confident that they will offer me something. Keep your fingers crossed for me because I would love to have a job at this company.

In other news nothing else going on. Just getting ready to leave tomorrow morning for my retreat weekend. I am so excited I can't hardly stand it. This day will drag on forever.
As soon as I hear about the job you will hear about the job.. and don't forget to cross those fingers for me.

My friend Brooke called at 8:00 am Monday morning for me to take her to the ER..what we thought was just a virus or gas turned into a cyst so the 20 minute surgery started @ 6:00. At 6:20 th doctor came out and informed us she was a mess inside they were removing her right ovary and they think they appendix burst so they would have to call in a general surgeon for that and surgery would be at least another hour, After 2 more hours the dr. came out and informed us it was a bigger mess than they could even imagine and they had to do a hystermony, remove her appendix and clean up in there and remove a cyst almost the size of a football. So after they got her settled into her room(with a tube up her nose and hooked up to every machine they own) I finally made it back home. Only 14 hours later..boy I love hospitals So this week I will not only have my 4 to shuffle, feed and get off to school but also Brooke's 2 so Dan can spend as much time with her in the hospital at night..
Brooke wasn 't doing very well when I stopped over last night but I called this morning and Dan said she is doing much better. I probably won't make it over today since they cancelled school again because of fog and black ice. So for today we might run some errands later, then spend a quiet day at home just hanging out.

Have a great day!!!

Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Or better yet if you want to post mean and nasty messages to my blog then at least you can put your real name. Come on posting anonymously is for cowards. First of all don't you have something better to do with your time.. if not here are some great suggestions for you.. go play with children, go talk with your husband, go visit your family, volunteer somewhere, or better yet go stick your thumb up ass and sit and spin...

Now that I got that out I feel much better. I finally determined I am officially bored and need a job quick. I did go to a temp agency yesterday and got all registered so now just hope they call. I had to take some tests on the computer and let me tell you I don't think I did so good which is kind of ironic considering how much time I spend on the computer but I have never been much of a Microsoft Office fan anyways so I can just blame it on that (LOL).

Today I plan on getting ready for the CS garage sale, cleaning the house and getting pop tabs and pennies ready for the kids to take to school.

Have a great day!!

Another week bites the dust.. Well another week is almost gone. Been working on CS stuff, dealing with alittle drama, and lots of cleaning. It would be the perfect week except for I haven't got my camera out this week. Dang I am a bad photographer. I am going to take that camera with me everywhere I go this weekend.

In other not so great news:
My friend Brooke received the news today that her father only has 1-3 months to live. Can I just say it suck's?? I can't even begin to imagine what Brooke and her family are going through right now. I am going to do everything I can right now to be their for her and her family and help her through this. If you have any prayers or thoughts tonight can you add Brooke and her family to them.

So I'll leave you with a picture of my Dad. I am a huge Daddy's girl which makes this even harder. So Dad I truly hope you know how much I appreciate you and love you. Go Jr.

My friend Brooke is going to college to be a medical assistant and right now is taking an EKG course. So she called me yesterday and asked if I could come in and let her and a couple of other friends do an ekg on me. Stupid me said yes..nothing like hanging the girls out for complete strangers to see.
At first I was completely embarrassed but got over that very quickly. I figured at least one of these people was my friend and not all complete strangers. It was actually kind of cool to get free medical care and I met a couple of cool people.
In other news not much else going on. Got all the laundry done today, kitchen clean and worked on some CS stuff. Getting ready for our big retreat registration this weekend which means making sure the store is ready to go and posting some fun picture challenges.
Speaking of pictures I really need to get my camera books back out and start working on my photography stuff again. I have done anything with it since before Christmas.
Well have a good night!!

and it's 7:40 am. I never have any energy this early in the morning but today seem full of energy. Let's hope it continues all day so I can get lots done.

Had a good weekend. Spent it with friends scrapbooking and having a meeting. We discussed, made suggestions for fixing things, discussed some more for 14 hours this weekend. It was a great meeting and we got lots accomplished. So now we take all of our ideas and solutions back to our members and hope they are open to them.

I did get alittle scrapbooking done this weekend and had an aha moment. I have been stuck in a creative rut lately and decided that I was going to start doing 8 1/2 x 11 layouts to do simpler pages but then I thought why can't I do simpler pages on 12x12 layouts. I can and I am going too. I know it may seem dumb but it was big for me, so now I can't wait to get some page kits started for my next retreat in March.

What should have been about an hour drive home this weekend turned into 2 hours but that was quit fine with me because it finally snowed and I got to take some picture of the kids playing in it. And bonus we had a snow day yesterday which means Mom got caught up on some sleep and had lots of help picking up the house.

Well back to my busy day of getting things done!! Hope everyone else a productive day too!!

I just love this show and wow it was so emotional. I am such a daddy's girl and so it really just hit me when George said, "I don't know how to exist in a world where my Dad doesn't". I really don't know what I will do when something happens to my Dad. All I can say is get the padded room ready. This was also very emotional since my friend Brooke's dad is going through something like this. My heart aches everyday for her. I wish I could just wrap my arms around her and make it all go away. Brooke has been my rock more times than I can count and I hope to be able to be her rock through all of this..
But I must say the boys farting in the hallway is so my family.. that will be my brothers when the time comes. Which you know what it's just the way my Dad would want it. He would rather us drink a beer and fart than sit around crying. So I am sure that's what we will try to do.

After this episode I hope the people around me know how much I truly love them and appreciate them.

And to the woman in my vent from my last post.. You really should watch this episode and be grateful for the things you do have and quit your complaining about everything else.. life is way to short for grudges, bitching, and just being hateful.. For no matter what I will be thinking of all of and you hoping you truly take this to heart..
remember we are only guaranteed today .. tomorrow is a gift..

Well have to finish getting ready for my weekend away. We do get internet access so will try to check in and say Hi!!
