Good Mornining to My TMB Family,

I am up just a tad to early so thought I would get us stated.  My internl clock likes to go off at 4:30 and then I just cant go back to sleep after that.  I know this Thankful thing has been done to death but feeling really greatful and thankful these days so thought it would be good.  Three things I am thankful for 1. My wonderful husband and kids, 2. The Military for getting all our stuff hear safely, 3. Have the relationship I do with God and knowing he is always with me.  Things in Dover are good.  I wi**** would get cold though.  I am ready to wear my new winter jacket and a hate and gloves.  I know I am crazy and I probably wont feel that way after a few days of it.  Looking forward to Thanksgiving.  My Mom and Dad will be here on Monday, then Tim and Jon wil be here Thanksgiving day, then Nadia will be here on Saturday just for the night.  We are going to have Jon's 3rd birthday party on Saturday.  I will take lots of pictures.  It seems like it has been forever since we were all together.  Wish Dan was going to be here but he is not ready yet and I just have to trust that.  Have a meeting at Eric's school this morning to talk about his 504.  I hope they were able to get the information they needed from the doctors cause I sure cant find my copy.  I am missing my Texas people these days.  I really need to get out and make some friends.  I think it will be easier once Mark goes back to work sometime after Thanksgiving.  Well guess that is all from Dover this morning.  Prayers for Eric and Jenny, sounds like they are working, Dana for continued recovery, Viv and her family, and all the unspoken.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOOHOOOO for Thursday!  Cause it means we're on the downside of this week and next week is a short one!!!  I woke up way tooo early this morning and couldn't make myself go back to sleep, so I got up and came on in to the office.... did some leg work in the gym and had a stare-down with the elliptical......  I won, but now I'm feeling guilty, LOL

Prayers are going out to all that need them!

How about some Hotel California to get us moving on down the line today?


On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

GOOD MORNING!!! Its Thursday! I have something everyday this week so I don't get to work from home, but I'm thankful that next week I can on Wed and that its a short week! Right now at work I'm helping a few great people go to work and its exciting! I'm taking a consumer to an interview today in downtown FW and then after lunch I'm taking a new application on someone that is self-employed that makes greeting cards. Its going to be an interesting day. These are the kind of days that make me SO thankful that I have a job that I love and feel called to do. Sometime the job can really get me bogged down but right now my consumers are getting the things they need and are experiencing successes thanks to all of our work and I'm so blessed to get to witness it.

We had a luncheon yesterday for November bithdays. It was nice. Bryan made my dad's lasagna recipe- I can actually make that and make it well but Bryan was nice enough to do it for me Tuesday night. Man oh man its so yummy. I made a small cake for the party as well. We have leftovers today at work-everyone just puts away what they brought and we eat again on it usually-sometimes for 2 days!

Great news on Eric's progress! Gaye- sounds like you are making great progress too -I'm glad! Michelle-sorry you are missing folks. Monday when your family arrives you won't have time to miss anyone-have a great time with them! Where do they live? If our trip to PA wasn't so rushed this year we could pop over to see you!

Gotta get moving- I was cold this morning and didn't want to get out of bed! Hope everyone has a great day!

Morning Alissa,

My parents are in Massachusetts so it is only a days drive for them.  I dont think we have seen them in a year or so.  You know you should take a day and come see me while you are in PA its only 1 1/2 hour drive I think.  Would love to see you.  Have a great day and a great job that you love so much.  Hugs.

things I am thankful for
1 - family, hubby and kids
2-on line school
3 - my brother, sister and mo
4-cell phones,  the internet and comuters that lets me acess all of the above

and today I am sooooooooo happy it is Friday Eve, I am looking forward to NOT getting up for 9 days - I am going to turn my alarm off and wake up when I wake up

we are going to be pets r us for the holiday weekend - watching a dog here and two house holds of cats at their own houses but the teen is making some extra money this way, and I am exchanging dog and cat sitting for a week for cat and house sitting for 2.5 weeks so I think it's a good deal

not much going on here - sewing Cmas gifts, have a bunch to wrap - got an addy for Tim finally so I need to put a letter in the mail to make sure he gets it so we can start sending boxes - think I will get a box most of the way ready and then just not tape it till I hear from him for sure - I KNOW he will add stuff to the list of wanted things

life is good I love what I do and do what I love - what could be better

peace
