I GOT IT!!!!

I can't believe it, I start working on Monday!!! The downside is that I won't have as much time here to to all of you, but at the same time, I'll be able to support my kids a lot easier and they come first (nothing personal) They know about my surgery, they know I'll be off for a while and that there are appointments, etc... to go to for my daughter and they're going to work with me on them. I'm so happy and although not LITERALLY bouncing off walls, I feel like I should be! Hugs to all, now all we have to do is keep praying my daughter healthy, right? Rachel

That's great Rachel, good for you. That is wonderful that they are going to work with you on your surgery and w/ appt's for your daughter. Isn't it exciting starting on a new adventure? Robyn

Yay for you!!!! Just think of the wardrobe you'll be able to buy in a few months! I've got tons of clothes I'm already growing out of. Size 20's. Let me know if you need anything I'll give them to Dave to drop off during his visitation. Dee

Hi Dee! I do need clothes, but not sure yours would fit me just yet. I'm at the 32 range for "comfy" Tshirt (used to wearing loose fitted tops), and at 26 for fitted shirts that are roomy enough to not pull too tightly across the chest... But if there is anyone out there who has outgrown clothes in my size and they fit the office casual bill PLEASE let me know if you can donate them to the cause!!!! HUGS Rachel

Hey Rachel!!!!!! What sizes do you exactly need? I have some very nice things in my closet. My Mom has some nice things too. Let us know. I will be glad to send you some clothes. Congrats on the job too!!!!!!! Smiles!!! Julie

Congratulations Rachel.. That is great that they are willing to work with you. Christie

WOW Rachel: Two "Great News Flashes" in one day!!!! Now you are truely on a "Great Adventure"! New Job and New You!!!! I am so happy to hear your wonderful news. I will be praying for good news for your daughter also! She is adorable and a perfect angle to watch! OXOX Rosemary

It is great to hear your good news. You deserve some good things happening to you. Lots of good luck. Ellen

Thanks everyone!!! Love to all of you!!! Alyssa is going to see her primary doc in the morning, but so far nothing from the nephrologist... I'm trying to scrounge up 4 "office casual" outfits for work, I can handle the dress down day on my own (I own one pair of jeans that fits right now and plenty of shirts that are dress down quality) I have a cotton dress that seems to fit the office casual standard (I like wearing dresses), a black skirt that I can wear with the red blouse I wore to the interview (a little snug), a pair of navy blue pants and a white top with blue flowers on it henly style (assuming the spaghetti stain came out), and a pair of steel blue pants, but no shirt to match it... yet... I'm working on that, and hoping to find an alternate outfit also so I don't have a Monday is this, Tuesday is that, type of existance. I have a peachy-orange with red tinted flowers sun dress with a shirt of the same fabric that matches it that I could wear, but it's REALLY loud. I have capris, but they are cotton knit and don't look very professional (although they would work for dress down fridays!), anyone with ANY fashion tips, please help me!!! I haven't "worked" for so long I don't know what is appropriate anymore! Hugs Rachel
