struggling

I'm really struggling with training people to do something I don't believe is right. For me personally I could not sit on a phone and tell a customer that they should use their credit card for all purchases. Gas, groceries, utilities...everyday expenses. But that is what I am suppose to train in my classes. Sure, if that happens to be a customer who pays their card in full each month and never accrues interest it would be okay. But,the majority of the customers do not; therefore, I would be suggesting to them to go further in debt. That's just wrong and I feel such conviction everytime I have to train it.
I need my job, though.

so sad

it's not right
we should be able to see our children and grandchildren on a daily basis
i miss them terribly
i'm so, so sad today

Random thoughts for the new year...

-Well it is back to work tomorrow. Can't say I'm excited. I've enjoyed being home. I miss the kids terribly and would love to be able to walk the floor with little "Mister". It will have to wait until March.
-I've been lax with my Weight Watchers since mid November when I went to Maryland. It is time to get back serious. Also haven't ran in quite awhile. Must get back with it.
-H&R Block is starting back up and that will keep me busy on Tue & Thur nights as well as Sun after church. It will fund our trip to Mississippi in March, so that is a good thing. I just have to work at keeping my stress level down. Working FT and doing Block PT really drains me. I know...I'm a wimp.
-We are reviewing our FPU cd's and getting serious about becoming debt free. I don't want to work until I'm 70 so the answer to that dilema is to have no debt. Woo Hoo! We'll be listening t Dave Ramsey every morning on our way to work. On KGKL 960 AM
-Man it's cold. I'd love to build a fire but we have no firewood. We live on 20 acres most of which is mesquite but we have no firewood. Go figure. Seems the chainsaw has died. Anyone out there have a chainsaw? How about a barter of using your chainsaw for some wood???
-Think I'll go take a hot bubble bath and call Tracy Lynn.

there's no place like home

I'm back.
I loved being with the kids and spending time with Corbin but I was sure ready to get back to warmer temperatures. It is WAY too cold up there. Now the count down begins. They are flying in for Christmas on the 17th. We have tons to do before they arrive.
Do you know my boys only ate at home once while I was gone. They ate out the rest of the time. Poor things. I made sloppy joes and tater tots for supper. Kenz is working so he'll have to warm his up. Also got a roast to cook one day this week.
Work was okay. I was productive. It was hard to get up early and go in; therefore, I intend to be in bed by 8 tonight.
Micheal took me to eat at Macaroni Grill after picking me up at the airport and when we got home surprised me with a new cd, watch and breast cancer pin for my birthday. He's such an awesome man! I love him so much.

it is now

I'm sad today knowing I have to leave tomorrow. I feel like I need to cram as much as possible into today, I'll probably stay up late. Oh well, maybe I'll sleep on the plane. Oh!! I hear him. Mimi better go change his dipey.

It hasn't quite sunk in yet

Corbin is 1 week old and I still don't feel like a grandma. I'm thinking that will come Sunday when I have to say goodbye. We've been busy doing every day things. We've gone to Target, the library and Panera Bread (can anyone say Cinnamon Crisp bagels??? Oh yeah!) Mostly just trying to get some sleep, though. Corbin has had some mix up of days and nights. Guess I need to get up and figure out what to make for supper.

Hefty

Corbin is 10 lbs 6.5 ozs and hasn't asked to borrow the car yet.....

Is Corbin Micheal here?

This is Micheal and yes he is......... We are now the proud owners of a grandson...
Corbin was born in the jacuzzi taking his first swim.. I'll post again after they measure and weigh and all that good stuff

testing

In the morning Micah goes in for a stress test and an ultrasound to make sure their is enough amniotic fluid.

i'm here, but Corbin isn't

Micheal and I drove to San Antonio Thursday after work. It was great to spend the time together. We got up Friday morning, had breakfast at IHOP and then off we went to the airport. We got there a little over an hour before my flight left and i still only just made it to my gate. Our goodbye was way too fast. The flight was fine, we had dinner and a movie. Cheese pizza, salad w/ olive oil vinaigrette and plain M&M's while we watched WALL-E. I had a long layover at the Newark airport so I indulged myself with a cheeseburger basket from Ruby's Diner at the bargain price of $13.68. At least the fries were crispy. I got it to go and plugged my portable dvd player into one of those tower thingy's and watched Step Up 2 the Streets until it was time to board the prop job to Baltimore. I hate those little prop jobs. I got in 30 min early but it was all good.
It has been bitterly cold here. Not sure I could live here long term.
I'm headed out to run and then we have to go to the library.
Corbin has yet to make an appearance. Micah has a non-stress test and an ultrasound to check her amniotic fluid levels.
More later...
