Guess what? At work they have asked me to stay a couple more weeks. I am struggling with an answer. This may be leading to a permanent position and I am not sure what to do. I have until Tuesday to decide. I will talk it over with Joe and he will help me weigh the pro and cons......
The kids are still enjoying school. Soccer has started for both of the girls, now. I was told the games start next weekend. Madison has had only one practice and she definately needs more. I think we will start walking again tonight. I will have her dribble all the way and maybe that will help her improve a little (or at least improve her self image).
I will post more later.......

Hello, Again!
I have one more week guys! One more week at my temp job..... I really like the ladies I work with, but they are at the other location. I'm still not on the best of terms with everyone there. It has gotten a little better, though.... no open hostility. But, I am not free to really be myself. Or myself enough to make idle chitchat with my coworkers...... On my break, I call friends and that helps. There are a few people there that I feel pretty comfortable with, and I am thankful for that. The next position is supposed to be answering phones and filing at a good company with good benefits and wages. I am looking forward to getting something permanent.
My girls had an accident at Grandma and Grandpa's a couple of weeks ago and scared all of us. They have a ranger and Kaitlyn was driving. She hit the gas accidentally instead of the brakes and it turned over. They all had bumps and bruises, but the worst is that Grandpa was trapped under it unable to get out. This scared the girls! They just love Grandpa! Someone stopped and helped him out, and everything was fine. Since, Kaitlyn has been pretty nervous in all vehicles. I think she is better now, but for a while we just got the biggest tickle out of her. Grandma went over the curb in the truck and Kaitlyn commented, "At least we didn't turn over....". Of course, Daddy had to say, "Only 5 years old and already driving like her Mama," which I, of course, protested. I have never turned a vehicle over! Totaled, yes, turned over, no.
The girls have started soccer practice and seem to love it. I wondered about Madison, because she is so relaxed and layed back, but she is doing fine!
Joe goes to see the neurologist on September 11th @ 2pm in San Antonio. I have my fingers crossed and I will start praying for some relief for him.
I finally got to take Ryan school shopping (I already bought all his clothes by myself-I'm glad they fit). He has art and we went to Hobby Lobby and got his school supply list. He has wanted art since his freshman year. His attitude has definitely improved! I am so glad! I didn't thing both of us were going to live through the next couple of years if something didn't break.
I think that's all the current news for now. I will post again, soon! Ta...ta...

The Beginning of a New Year
As of today, all my babies are in school. I thought I would cry when I put my last baby in Kindergarten, but I didn't. My Ryan is at the senior campus, Madison is at Smith and Kaitlyn is at OLV in Kindergarten. I finally felt the gentle ache of knowing my babies are leaving me.
I should be happy. I am happy, for all of them. They were so glad to be back in school. They all looked so cute today, and I was such a nag. I fussed because they wouldn't get ready. I didn't get to go in with Madison to see her class due to my lack of time. That was disappointing for me. She seemed fine with it though. She is finally big enough, I think (I hope), to keep track of things. She kept track of a mood bracelet that she got at the end of last year, so I decided to test her out. I bought her a watch, as a happy school starting gift, that is just perfect for her. It has the numbers on the face and the band is made out of dolphins (her very favorite). She just went crazy when I gave it to her. My baby!
My brother is going to get a new car on his next week off and offered to give his current ride to his nephew, my son. Warren wants something more reliable for all the driving he does. Ryan was so excited, I think that means he'd like it. It need some work, but I think that is what my son needs. Something to put his time into so he will appreciate and take better care of it....... I need to get the paperwork so we can do the drivers ed at home, and we should be in business. What am I going to do? I can't imagine my baby driving! I may just cry after all...........

Another Week, Gone......
It is the weekend, again. The time goes by quickly....... My Kaitlyn started kindergarten on Tuesday....... She was so cute in her uniform. Grandma wants her to go to Our Lady of Victory, so she is. She bought all of her uniforms. Kaitlyn was so excited! I think I was more so, though, on her first day. I think I took about 10 pics of her. It was so much fun! It was a milestone for me. My last baby's first day in kindergarten...... No more babies for me...... It didn't seem to phase me, though. I think the excitement for her was more prominent. So far she loves it. She is so tickled that she has a locker and her 5th grade sister doesn't. The ladies at the extended care remember Madison. They were disappointed that she was not coming there.
Madison and Ryan start public school on Monday. We are all ready, except for a backpack for Ryan..... Madison is ready. I think she has been bored and ready to get back to her friends. She was a little jealous of all the attention I gave Kaitlyn on her first day. She made sure I would take pictures of her on her first day. She also wanted me to go in late her first day, but I told her I couldn't. I would love too, but I already took off for Kaitlyn. Also, Kaitlyn's starts @ 8 and Madison's starts at 8:30. I want to go in with her, and I need to sign her up for homework club, but I can't be late to work...... I will post more soon......

TGIF
It is finally the weekend and I am so glad. This week has been very stressful. At work, that is...... I haven't exactly been getting along with everyone. There is one person in particular that obviously has a problem communicating. I know that I am shy, extremely shy, and say some things wrong because of my nervousness. If that were the case, I would apologize and explain what I really meant. If he would come out and say he is mad and explain what it is exactly I do that he doesn't agree with it would help. I am very flexible and eager to do what is needed of me. I guess we can't always have what we want. Unfortunately, I just have terrible boundaries and care when someone is mad at me.
I plan on going to Goliad Market Days on Saturday just to look and shop. I have gone before, but I had a booth and sold my homemade soaps, some purses, belts, so on and so forth. It was fun, but my husband said that I was putting too much into it and not getting enough back. At the time, I was doing it for extra money. I even have a tax ID number. Anyway, I want to go when I can look around. I never have been able to do that....... And my Aunt Debra will be there in her usual booth. I will get to visit.
In the morning, I'm going to get my B12 shot and get weighed again. I had to buy some more clothes this week. The old ones were showing a little too much, if you know what I mean. I know that this week, so far, I have lost another 3 pounds. Yeah! Altogether, since the beginning of summer, I have lost a total of 28 lbs. Joe has'nt been showing much progress even though he is trying. FYI: I have gone down 2 sizes in pants......
My baby starts kindergarden on tuesday. I am so going to cry when I take her to school. Grandma wants her to go to Our Lady of Victory, so she is going to cover the cost of it. Kaitlyn is so smart. She is reading and starting to do math...... She can come up with some doosies when you least expect it. She was getting her immunizations at the doctor yesterday and when the nurse laid out 4 syringes she looked at them, looked at the nurse, looked at the syringes, and said, "I only want one," very decisively, as if that were the end of the discussion. Unfortunately, she had to have all four. She told me that she cried a little, but if felt better now. My poor baby! TAFN......

Long Overdue Update......
Let's see..... what has been happening? As usual, way too much. The weekend after my previous blog, I found out that I had lost 5 more pounds. This last weekend, my weight loss is from 7 to 10 lbs. I am so excited! Joe has started the program (participating fully unlike me), and he has lost 3.5 lbs the first week. He is doing it a little differently than me. He is supposed to be doing the low carb, but for some reason, everything is on it. He is such a stinker! I really want him to feel better, but he doesn't seem to be trying very hard......
Kaitlyn was in soccer this spring and she loved it, so I signed her up for the fall this past Saturday. Madison also wanted to do it, so I went and signed up two for the fall season. I hope I can make all these practices and games......
I finally talked to my son the other day. He's gone to his father's for a few weeks this summer, and I am really starting to miss him..... He seemed to be doing fine, but he said he'll be coming home soon. Corpus, where his dad lives, starts school a week earlier than we do. I hope I have some time to take him shopping for school clothes. I took Madison on Sunday, and we had a ball. We went to the mall and hit quite a few stores. The only problem we ran into was in Victoria Secret. She wanted a thong! I told her that no 10 year old of mine was going to wear a thong! She settled for some cute, soft, pink ones with a strap on the sides. I approved and we moved on to the next store......
Joe sold our pool table last weekend. We've had it for about 7 years. It was gorgeous! Solid oak, claw foot, leather pockets, with dark green felt..... I loved it, but we didn't use it much anymore. We used to have parties at the house, but now they're few and far between. Life has gotten busy for us and our friends....... We sold it to make more room for our family. A whole room was devoted to it. We have a bar in there and that is the room I originally told him he could put his animals in. He's long since outgrown it. Now I have the deer in the pool room/den and the ducks are in the living room. The only other thing the room was used for was laundry...... The top of a pool table makes a wonderful laundry table. Bad, Bad, me....... I had to do it somewhere and it was the least used room. We're going to turn it into another TV room for the kids. We're going to have a couple of laundry tables set up in there, too. Joe went and got the tables for me yesterday and I am already using them...... One for clean unfolded, and one for folded, stacked, separated clothing. We're going to move our living room furniture into the pool room and he's going to let me buy more for the front room. I can hardly wait! But waiting, I am. He wants to go looking for it in labor day sales. "We can save big money," he says. Reluctantly, I agreed and went shopping for school clothes. If I couldn't shop for one thing, I guess another would do.......
I am still in the temporary position that I have been working in. They even asked me to stay on a couple of extra weeks. They were delayed in moving the accounting to Houston, so they need me until then. I can't wait to get settled into a position that is mine. The only thing I don't like about temping is that I get attached to the people around me, and then they are gone. I still miss the ladies I worked with at my previous temp job. They were just too fun........
That, I think is all the current business to date. I have no idea what is coming in the next weekend. I will take one day at a time and keep on forging ahead.... I am sure I will think of something fun to do. Time is running out for summer. I need to make sure we get the most out of the last few weekends left!
