My Christmas Letter

Dear Family and Friends –
Another year is coming to a close and I know we all have many blessings that we are counting. We are also praying for blessings, some are praying for miracles, as we look forward to what 2010 will bring.
The truth is, it will bring a lot of the [...]

When the Music Stops

Why does the music stop? How does life seem to go from wonderful to insane and the holidays from happy to sad? We often think that there will be music forever as if life twirls around on a carousel with brightly painted circus animals with possibly a few dragons or fantasy things thrown in for [...]

Life Uncommon

It is almost 11 am and I’m hanging out at home cleaning.  Got most of the kitchen done so that is one thing off my list.  I’m in a funky mood today thus far – not sure why.  Might go shop at Houseworks to see if I can find a kitchen table and chairs.  If I [...]

Condo Keys

My condo is officially gone as of today.  It has made me upset at the loss and made me hate the tiny apartment I am in now.  I miss having my own space, I miss the Gulf and Bay, I miss being able to wear shorts all year, I miss the beach…  I took the [...]

Traffic and Laundry

Decided to take the “long” way home because that is the street the Laundromat is on although I had half talked myself out of doing the it. The rain has been pouring down and really, who needed clean clothes anyway?
Got past the Super Wal-Mart signal light and traffic came to a screeching halt. I had [...]

Hawaii

My son won’t stop talking about moving to Hawaii…I am starting to get worried. I know it is the epitome of paradise but it is also a very expensive place to live and limited on jobs. If I were published and making money that way, I wouldn’t give moving there a second thought but the [...]

Yucko Training

I just got my reminder notice that I have training tomorrow at 8:45 am.  This means I will get off at 7am and have to hang around for a few hours before getting to go home.  It does not make me happy.  I won’t get paid for the time between getting off and the training [...]

Rain and Dogs

Took the boys out for a walk in the rain because the rain doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon and they needed to be walked.  Played tug-of-war and keep away with them first so they were pretty worn out – that way they don’t feel cheated over the shorter walk.    Now [...]

Where did the day go?

I swear time got away from me.  I went in and had soup with my son – took him to work and came back home.  I walked the dogs, did some minor things around the house and watched a movie on TV.  Made supper around 9pm and did dishes.  From about 9:30 pm till 1:15 [...]

The Scoop

So here is today’s scoop.  The dispatcher that we all wanted to quit, quit.  This means that, unless management decides differently, I will be moving to days and one of the other dispatchers will be moving into my slot.  That will leave one opening that they aren’t sure they are going to let us fill [...]
