Thankful Thursday WLS Express

GOOD MORNING AND ALL ABOARD- what are YOU thankful for this morning?

Its Friday eve- woo hoo! I had a great day at home yesterday-got alot of work done that I needed to get done but can't get done at work because we are having another busy week this week at the office. Tuesday I had 3 transportation providers shuttling around 6 of my consumers to and from the office for their evaluations and it was alot of balls to juggle in the air. Friday will be similar but just in the morning thankfully.
Today I am thankful for my incredible husband! He's so great. I haven't felt 100 percent because of the pain in my foot and being so busy at work- by the time he gets home I'm pretty much ready for bed. He has been putting up with me falling asleep on the couch alot. And, he did an incredible job cleaning out the garage Sunday. We are having a sitter come Saturday and we're going to eat out at The Keg-one of our favs and we haven't been there in probably 1 1/2 years- and then to my brother in law's birthday party. Its a poetry reading party- he has one every year. And every year I'm stumped on writing a poem. That's all he asks for -is for people to share their poetry. I try to write one because he's a great guy and I want to do this for him, but poetry doesn't come easy to me! Mine always end up rhyming! Then I just feel stupid. lol. Anyone have any ideas on a type of poem that might work better for me? I do well when there are rules- like a hiku or however you spell it.

Phyllis brought up having a craft gathering-where we get together and do crafts-anyone else interested? I love doing crafts. I just have to find the time and make the time to do it!

I hope everyone has a great day today!!!
 

Good Morning Alissa & TMB Family,

I am thankful for everything the good and the bad because it has shaped me into being a better, stronger woman. 

Alissa - morning.  If it doesn't have to be a serious poem, limericks are always fun.


There once was a cake with some candles
that when lit became too hot to handle.
We panicked and ran
with no thought of a plan
till I smashed the flame out with my sandal.


I can hear you groaning...but you get the idea...fun!

lol- I just might use that one!

Alissa - feel free to use it.  I wrote it just for the occasion.  Glad you like it.

(I can see icing splattering every which direction when that sandal smooshes down.)

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOO for Friday EVE.... LOL  Never heard that one before Alissa....

Court Update:  we got sworn in and the judge heard half the case and then continued it because it was late in the day.... so I'm sworn in and can't talk to anyone who was in the court room about what went on until the rest of the case is heard and the next available date is Dec 15th.... UGH....
My son's lawyer could only tell me that it went good... talk about raising my stress level for an extended period of time! I'm dealing but it's hard...

Prayers are going out to all that need them!

How about some Reo Speedwagon to get us moving this morning?  Here's Can't Fight This Feeling....

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Love that REO Speedwagon!!  Thanks for the blast from the past!!

I heard from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that I am one of the "Best Qualified" applicants and that my resume was forwarded to the selecting official!  I may have an interview soon!  Keep your fingers crossed!!  I also found out that I did NOT get the clerk typist job in In Plant Support that I was hopeing to get.  You'd think with 25 years seniority, I'd have a chance to get a good job, but Noooooo!!  To many old people working at the PO want to sit down.  Doesn't matter if they can do the job, or if they even want to do the job, they just want to get out of the plant or working the mail.  Oh well, maybe this other job will work out and I can get out of there!!

Well, better get going.  Got to read Therese's paper and make corrections for her.  Ya'll have a great day!  Love ya!

It is soooooo good to see you posting on the train again!  Prayers and good wishes headed your way.  Stay strong - I believe in you {{{{HUGS}}}}
