Well, my WOO HOO is that I completed two of the applications last night!  Ugh!  Dang government agencies!  Every one is different, even though both are for the same agency and both are for secretary, but the KSAs were completely different for each job.  I hate filling out KSAs!  (Knowledge Skills and Abilities)  It's like writig a book about yourself.  You have to brag on yourself.  I'm not really good at that!!  Two more to complete tonight, then looking for more!

Ok people!  Take your vitamins!  We don't want what's happening to Ramon (PRAYERS OUT TO YOU BUDDY) to happen to any of us, so TAKE YOUR VITS!!  You need your nutrition!  You can't get it from your food because you cannot absorb the nutrition (RNYers) so suppliments are VERY IMPORTANT!!

Have a great day and always remember, I LOVE YA!!

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

GOOD MORNING!!! Laura- glad you are working on the applications. Its work, for sure, but the payoff could be a big one- a job you're happy at is very important. Life is too short to work in a job you don't like.
I don't know that I have a woo hoo this week. I am struggling with my foot pain. Its just getting to me- I'm exhausted from it. I don't know what to do. I have given up walking the stairs at work, walking for exercise, and I never go barefoot anymore -all doctor's suggestions-and I'm still in horrible pain. The PT isn't working I don't think. The PT said to give her 2 more weeks and I'll see a difference. Who knows. I see the doctor again on the 21st. I won't get anymore shots because they aren't working either.

I am struggling with food. I ordered some different protein samples yesterday online so I could try some. I ordered unjury as well as some others. Hopefully that will help. I have trouble finding ones I can tolerate.

Well aren't I just a downer today? Sorry. Hope everyone has a great day today!!!

Alissa,
Good Luck with the PT on the foot. It did not work for Doug with his back issues.  Now,, 7 months later we are getting around $900.00 in bills from them, and needless to say.. we are not happy..

Smile, it increases your face value.

Thanks. I'm just feeling very frustrated right now. I'm a pain wimp for sure. Because I've met my out of pocket max, PT is paid for at 100 percent, thankfully, esp since it doesn't seem to be working!
I am praying Doug finds relief from his pain soon.

Good Morning Laura, and the rest of my TMB Family,

WooooHoooo for me this morning is it is only 54 days till we be on the road, and I am starting to plan our trip!  This is the fun part. The anticipation of driving and getting there and what it is going to be like.  Laura I am so glad you got some applications filled out.  I just know there is something better out there for you!  Some place that does not treat you like Crap!  I am pretty frustrated with the whole closing on the house thing.  Yes the papers are all signed, they were on Friday but we still have not received any money.  When we signed on Friday they said we would have a check yesterday for sure, well here it is Wednesday and supposedly they will have a check for us today.  Just not right.  We owe that money all over the place.  So thats my plan for today.  I may try and walk but my tummy is really upset this morning.  Just took all my vitamins and thought for a minuet or two they were not going to stay down.  We will see how the day goes.  Ok time to catch a little news, and have my coffee,  Prayers this morning for those in need.  Special prayers for Meggie, Ramon, Justin and Susan,  Laura, and Liz.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.

Good morning.  My whohoo is sticking to the plan for 2 1/2 weeks and it seems to get to be habit the longer we go.  I try to stop and think about things before I eat them or consider the nutritional counts.

I have 3 ARD meetings today...one at 7:45 and the other 2 not until late afternoon right before school is out.  One was planned, the other 2 just happened because of a kid in jail and one needing off special transportation asap.  Gonna come home and dust tonight...trying to clean house a little everyday so it's done by Friday evening.

Prayers to all who need them!

Have a great Whohoo Wednesday...

Karla

Good Morning All,
Today is another day.  Took the new puppy (Little S_it) to her obediance class last night.  What a hoot!  She is like a little tornado.  She is beginning to obey...a little....very little, so maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel.  I just think it's a LONG tunnel :)  I wouldn't even keep her but she's so lovable and loves to snuggle, and loves the girls, so I guess I'll hang on till she stops tearing up everything in sight.  Yesterday she ate a pair of leather sandles.  Thank God they were beginning  to look ragged anyway or I would really have been mad.
We have our support meeting tonight in McKinney.  Looking forward to that.  Still haven't finished painting the computer/playroom.  Hopefully can work on it when Tori goes down for her nap today. 
Prayers for those who need them this a.m.  Y'all know who you are.  Have a GREAT one.

Blessings,
Carol
