Monday BREAK OUT YOUR BUBBLE WRAP- WLS Express

Good morning.  Wow did the weekend fly by quickly.  Ben is leaving in a few minutes to go back to College Station.  I have jury duty today but will go into work if I don't get picked even though I don't have to.  I figure I'll get a little work done and will get to leave a little early in a few weeks when I go visit my dad in Wimberly.

For accountability post on Jumpstart January, soon to be Faithful February.  Have you made any progress or maintained this month?  It's a good wait to get you motivated.

Prayers for all who need them.

Have a great Monday!

Good Morning OH Family!

Man I miss you guys! Work was fast and furious this weekend. I lost count Saturday night after paying out 20 jackpots. I love it! But boy am I tired. I can't wait to go back 2nd shift, not getting enough rest on 3rd. Rick starts 2nd shift today. Not much going on at the Schulenbergs we are looking for another dog, want a Corgi. Trying to save up for the cruise the vet bill from Lexie was $625 so that was an unplanned expense. Not much planned today, catching up on laundry the usual Monday stuff. Might try and shampoo the carpet in the living room it is getting pretty bad. I kinda wanted to wait until after we get a new dog just in case they have an accident but don't know when we will find the right one. Can't believe the weather is going to get cold again and possible snow on Thurs. I'm ready for warm weather the cold makes me hurt. lol Weight is up and down. I either go below goal or right now I'm 3lbs over. But all I've done the past two weeks is eat crap. I bought healthy food yesterday so Rick and I will eat our big meal at lunch and try not to eat junk at night. Well I better get going.

Your loved!

Good Morning!  It's cold again darn it.  Spring, bring on Spring!

Busy work day today, basketball tonight then I have a loan closing that I have to notarize tonight (extra money helps).  I'm going to record The Bachelor, it should be interesting.

The MOST important thing is WHO DAT is Super Bowl Bound ~~~ Geaux Saints!  A Louisiana team and a Louisiana Quarterback (Peyton Manning).  Either way I'll be happy but MOST happy if the Saints bring......it.....home.  It'll be interesting since Cutter likes the Saints (Reggie Bush NFL jersey) and Conner likes the Colts (Peyton Manning NFL jersey).  Blane and I will be wearing out Saints shirts, just sayin'.

Prayers going up for all my peeps needing them today...special thoughts for Meggie, Jenny and Eric.

Hugs,

Forty plus years to get to the "Big One" - lot's of patience and suffering.  Can remember as a kid going to several Saints games in the Dome.  Enjoy!

Good morning Train Riders!  I hope this week is a bit less stressful at work than last week was.  There's lots of transition hiccups in moving our account to HP and it sure does test my patience some days.  Luckily I have an awesome manager who loves her people and goes out of her way to stick up for us when needed.  I've logged in early, but I'm not starting just yet (unless there is a fire to deal with).  I will start going into the office one day a week from now on.  My manager wants me to have some face time with one of the ladies I'm going to be working more with.

Yesterday was a mixed day at the Tank house.  Started off kind of rough, but got better through the day.  We didn't hear anything about the budget from the elders at church so that's still hanging over the congregation's head.  But we had a really good bible study last night so that at least ended the day on a positive note.

Jeff and I had a conversation about chores/responsibilities around the house.  It's been needed for a while, and it finally came to a head.  So, we've created a chore chart and divided up all the daily and weekly chores.  He's going to start doing some different stuff around the house, so I'm going to have to work hard on not trying to control it all.  Especially since I'm the one that asked for more help.  We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.

Hope everyone has a great day and week!  Do something nice for yourself and someone else today, it's amazing what bringing a smile to someone else will do for your own attitude.

Good Morning Chosen Family!
I am really trying to stay positive, but this is gonna be a hard week. Many of you saw my post on Face Book about my nephew's wife Francis. So sad! We have no idea what happened yet, but most of us are leaning towards an aneurysm. They had been to WalMart and came back with his Mom Susan. Jason and Susan were putting away groceries when Francis yelled for him to come get the baby because she had a really bad headache. When he got to the bedroom, she was having a seizure and he yelled at his Mom to call 911. Francis died before the ambulance got there. She was 18 years old.

Jason is my brother's only son. Most of yall know how many problems he has had and he is living here in Bryan now. Well, Jason is in Mesquite. We got to meet Francis in October while she was still pregnant and my brother hasn't even met his grandson yet. He has no transportation to get there, but we are trying to figure something out. My heart bleeds for Jason and little Jason Jr. who is about 2 months old. I can't even imagine. They are in Mesquite and this happened Saturday. No arrangements yet, I'm sure due to autopsy and such.

Please say a prayer for the families of Francis and Jason. I can't imagine what this little boy of 18 is going to do witha 2 month old baby. So sad and he is so heart broken. I think they had been together about 2 years. Both hard workers and HS Grads.

So many people have asked me what happened, and I didn't want to post it on FB in case some friends or family were to see it. I love all of you and thank you so much for your prayers and sympathy!

Hugz,
Gina L

((((Gina)))) I'm heart broken for Jason, little Jason and your family.  I cannot even imagine and what your nephew is going through and Jason, Jr. never knowing his mother. 

Hugs,

Gina, Saying prayers for you and yours. I can not imagine the heartache. Hugs to you all.

Gina I live 10-15 minutes from Mesquite.  If you guys come up for the funeral and need a place to stay, I've got a spare bedroom.  I am serious-please just let me know if you want to stay here.   I am so sorry to hear the whole story, it absolutely breaks my heart.
