  • Here, yet not…

    Still working, and working.  Lots of things going on.  Too much to even begin to try to talk about yet. 

    I basically have no friends left.  It’s hard to have friends when you can’t be a friend.

    I am only here on the weekends.  So, I “live” here, but I don’t spend much time here.  It’s strange.

    My schedule is about to change again.  Just a quick update.

  • Senior pics (round one)

    Tiger will have REAL Senior pics made by my sister at a later date.  These are what the school had required.  I took his Kindergarten grad pics and scanned his proofs, just to show a comparison.  I’m not sure what we will order, but when I got these side by side, my heart started leaking again.

  • Where did the time go? Time for an update!

    Please, be patient in my ranting.

    I am now staying in a motel during the week in Northwest Arkansas.  It’s not ideal, but it’s okay.  Since, I’m paying for it out of my own pocket, I’m just grateful that it’s relatively safe.

    My schedule is very odd, but I still like it. 

    I’m waiting for an appointment time to be able to take the other 2 portions of the National test.

    I can’t believe it’s already February!  Pa’s birthday is Monday.

    Hopefully, I’ll be able to post again.  I’ve had more computer trouble than I care to discuss.  Ugh.

    Hope you all are having a wonderful New Year, so far, and may it just get better and better!

    Miss you all!!!!!!  Please, keep in touch!

  • The “Cheery” post, as promised…

    Christmas 2011

    There is so much I can say about this photo. It was taken by my sister, who is awesome!  It really shows how tall my boys are now.  It also makes me chuckle a bit, for various reasons.

    Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

  • Officially on break…and..

    Finally have internet again on this laptop.  Not sure how long it will last this time.  REALLY need to get a new one.

    I’m on “break”, officially, BUT I don’t know where I will be next semester.  It just depends on where the Deaf attend.

    I also passed my written portion of the NIC, but I still have to pay almost $400 more to take the Interview/Performance portion.  Ugh. 

    Okay, other than that, here we are, going to a different church (LOOOONG STORY), and so many other changes.  Makes my head spin.  So, I’m trying to just humble myself, change my attitude, and breathe.  I have people who won’t even speak to me since all the changes.  I won’t even begin to try and express how that makes me feel.

    I’ll post a very cheery Christmas post later.  (I think.)

  • Still going…

    I need to weigh again…and I will….next Friday.

    I’m still caffeine and sugar free.  Not sure if the lack of caffeine is making any difference.

    Anyway, I’m still around.  Also, I’m now on Google+.  I like it more than Facebook.  Although, I’m still on there, too.  Just waiting on everyone to switch over.

    As soon as my laptop is fixed, I’ll be updating more often.  For now, it’s only when I’m at a desktop, as I don’t know how to do this from my iPhone.

    Thanks for being patient with me!

  • 12 Pounds…and counting

    With my work schedule, it’s a little hard to take time to post here except every couple of weeks. 

    I keep saying that I’m going to do this more often.  I’ve enjoyed it, and it has been a great place to store some photos and stories.

    Well, I’m learning to love caffeine-free and sans-sugar stuff.  I don’t like using artificial sweetner, but I’m trying to stick to Truvia rather than the other stuff. 

    Still love my job.  Lots of travel.  Hopefully, my body is adjusting better.

    Hope you all are well.  Miss ya!

  • Recap…

    We celebrated our 20th wedding Anniversary this weekend.

    Played “bad-mitton” in the backyard.

    Played “knives” (plastic knives instead of spoons).

    Took naps.

    Ate….a lot.

    Now, I’m getting ready to go back to work.

    Dread weighing later this week.

    Hope you had an awesome weekend, too!

  • 10 pounds total, so far!!!

    Amazing what a little extra walking will do!  I cut out the caffeine, sugar, and added walking and water. 

    Portion sizes are getting smaller.  I guess it’s true about “one good decision, leads to another…” or something.

    Ready for the weather to cool!!!!
