Thursday WLS Express

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!! ALL ABOARD the Friday-eve express!

Good Morning Alissa and the rest of my TMB Family,

It's another day, and I need to choose to make it a good day.  I hate playing the waiting game and that is my life these days one wait after another.  Still have not closed on the house.  We have a temporary time of 11 this morning but I am not holding my breath as the realtor did not call last night.  Mark and I went test driving vehicles last night.  Actually drove a Honda Oddessy Mini Van and think that is what we are getting.  It is very practicle for the trip cross country and for the running around I will be doing.  I think Mark is going to get a Honda S2000.  It is a two seater sports car.  He swears its not a mid life crisis thing.  I am all for it.  We took it for a ride last night and it was so much fun.  Now if we could just close on the stupid house!  Not to much going on today.  We have the band drive and meet the teacher tonight.  We still need to get Eric his Sax.  I think we are just going to rent for now.  Ok enough about me.  Seems like lately all I do is go on and on about me and I feel bad doing that.  There are so many that need prayers.  First prayers for Meggie, that each day gets a little easier, and prayers for Sue and her son Justin,  I am praying that they find nothing on Justin and that and Sue and the rest of his family will be worry free soon.  Gina I sure hope the job is going well for you and that each day gets just a little easier.  Alissa how is your foot this morning?  I hope it is getting better.  Liz are you getting any sleep now that you are home?  I am sure Loralee, Jon and the kids were glad to have you back.  Laura how are things at the P.O?  Ok had water and vitamins, now coffee is ready.  Prayers for all those that are need.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.  Michelle   60 days and counting!

Good morning sweetie!  Things at the PO are the same. 

I've started putting in for jobs, but dang it, I hate the process.  You can't just submit your resume, you have to go through this online thing, and the process is LENGTHY!  It's a pain in the but.  The KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities) are always a pain.  They want specifics of what you did when.  Who takes notes during their career so they can remember specific instances of examples of how you can fulfill that qualification?  I don't.  But I guess I'm going to have to start!  Sheesh!  Pain in the buttocks!!  But it has to be done.  I'm in the process of filling out for 6 secretarial jobs around the metroplex in different agencies.  Most of the jobs close next week, so I'd better get busy!

Well, next week is holiday and my b'day.  Think I'll take Friday off!  That'll make for a 3 day week, and two three day weekends in a row!  I can handle that!

Guess I'd better go and take a shower!  Can't be nasty in the stand by room!  Ya'll have a great day!  Love ya!

Waking up every morning with a headache is the bits.  Think it's time to get the Lunesta filled.  I'm clinching my teeth at night and my jaw is killing me.  It's stress I know and overall I'm handling it well, if I could just stop clinching my teeth at night I think it would go away.

I'm so glad we are off Monday, I need this 3 day weekend.  The boys are off too and then they get off next Friday for a teacher inservce.  You would think they'd do this differently, give them 2 days off in a row instead of Monday and Friday of the same week or schedule the inservice another week.

No planned meetings today at work PTL, hope nothing comes up that changes that.  I've been in meetings for the past two day,needless to say none of my work got done so it's catch up time.  Our admin is off this week for vacation also and my boss keeps asking me for help so who knows how today will play out.

Prayers going out to all my peeps for whatever they made need.

GOOD MORNING! Its the day before Friday- and a long weekend at that. So, what are your plans for the Labor Day weekend??? We are leaving after work Friday and going to Corpus to see some of my friends from HS. I can't wait to go! I haven't been to Corpus in quite some time- probably 9-10 years. Beach here we come!
Foot update- it was hurting alot yesterday, but yesterday evening it felt better. Hope that continues. I'm going to Physiotherapy this afternoon again. I'll go 2 times a week for 4 weeks and then we'll see what to do from there.
Michelle-prayers said for the closing to happen soon. I like the Odyssey's. And a sports car too- how exciting!
Loralea-what did you all do for your birthday? Hope it was a good one.
Meggie-prayers continue for you girl.
Gotta run. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning all!! Quick drive by, on my way out the door..Thanks for all the prayers regarding my new job. Going back to doing what I'm doing now (Medicare Coordinator in a nursing home), after not doing it for several years is like a person going back to France and being expected to speak fluent French, after not having spoken a word of it for several yrs. That analogy came to me this morning, and I think it sums up my frustration/challenge. PLUS..yesterday, the State Surveyor Team AKA "OMG The STATE INSPECTORS ARE HERE" showed to do the "Full Book Survey". It was expected, and needed, but...still..I'm the only one who is GLAD they went ahead and came before I'm EXPECTED to know anything..lol...I just smile and nod my head alot. MY name ain't on NUTHIN' !!! I'm scheduled to go to 2 days of training next Tuesday and Wednesday, then my corporate person should come to train me me the week after that, so, sooner or later I MIGHT figure out what I'm supposed to be doing....

Okay..enough griping...the GOOD news...just walking up and down the LONG halls of the facility yesterday I logged 3 MILES, without even trying. I didn't get to walk the grounds, due to State coming, but plan to make that part on my "daily routine". I started wearing my pedometer again yesterday. I'm trying to rebuild some good habits.

Oops-out of time.....

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!

Good morning.  Busy day ahead with 6 ARDS...2 of them "surprise ARDs" that cropped up over the work program the last 2 days.  They start at 7:50 am...so best get my self in the shower!  Tonight is our "Meet the Lions" night so I'm going to the fb stadium to see my niece get announced...may leave if I feel like it before the crowd.

Ben's coming home tomorrow.  He made it all day yesterday until I got off work to call, so I think he's settling in at A & M. 

Meggie...get well girl...the conference is in a few weeks!

Dana...a bite plate at WM or a pharmacy to wear at night is about $20.  I have an old one my dentist made me 20 years ago...had it before Ben...still fits.  I pd. $50 for it, but now they're $200 I think.  Lunesta may make you sleep harder and clench more.

Gina...sounds great you're walking w/ job...you'll settle in soon.

Prayers for Justin and Susan and family and all others who need them.

Have a great Thursday.

Karla

Woke up early and I'm ready for work.  Praying it's a better day today.  Can't remember the last time I had a good day at work.  Gonna run and will read later.

Good Morning All,
May get a little rain this afternoon.  That would be nice.  Another day of playing with grand kids.  Put them all in a little pool I have (4x6 w/ about a foot and a half of water in it) yesterday afternoon.  The two older ones needed to go potty after about an hour so they just squatted in the yard!  No one can see :)  After that they ended up skinny dipping.  They were funny!  The new dog (Little S-it) jumped in the pool after toys and swam around.  The girls loved that!! LOL
Special prayers going up this a.m. for Susan and Justin, Meggie's continued healing, Alissa's foot (I can relate!) and any one else who needs them.  Y'all have a great one.

Blessings,
Carol
