Yes....I got a job! I found out on Thursday afternoon. I have been working on this for awhile now. It's not really my dream job......but in these times a jobs a job. The hours are okay....not that many per day, but with kids at home and needing to be home in time for them when they get out of school it's just about perfect!
Oh....did I forget to tell you what job I got? Well, I'll be working in a middle school in the cafeteria. I'm not really sure what I'll be doing....she didn't tell me that. I guess I'll find out on Monday. But my guess is that I'll be working during the busy lunch hours! Since I'm working from 11-2.
I'm really rather nervous about it! I haven't done this type of work before! YIKES!! I hope I do a good job!
Well, the thing is I filled out the application to start out as a sub and I guess if I do good and they like me then I can have the job next year! So, hopefully they like me and I can impress them with my job skills!
I still have to finish out my Moms Day Out job for the next two weeks and they were okay with that. So, for the first two weeks I will only be working 3 days a week at the school and then after that I'll be working five days! That will be new for me!
Wish me luck!!!

Family~
Sometimes I will sit and think......think about the past. Think about our family and some of the things that we have done. Some people might say we are kind of a different kind of family. Why? Well.......I think that our family does so much with each other.
I remember growing up and I remember going to Grandmas house. It was the funnest place to be. I know us kids would be outside playing and all the sisters would be inside most likely complaining about us kids! Grandma would make the best things......buns, cookies, taffy bars(one of my favorites) and my all time favorite.....donuts! Yum...just thinking about them makes me want some right now! But those days bring back so many great memories not just of my Mom, but of all my Aunts. They all have something special about them. You don't really have anything bad to say about any one of them. That place at Grandmas was the place to be.
Now we are grown and that is the place we always want to take our kids...to Grandmas house...to my kids she is Grandma donut....to others she may be Granny. We all have special names for her. She is a special lady! My Mom loved to spend so much time with her.
I love being home and being around my family. It just feels right! Even though I may have not have seen them in over a year...I can still walk right back in and feel at home!

What a morning!
My morning has been a little tornadic! Not really sure if that's a word, but today it sounds just about right! They had been telling us all morning that we were going to be having some weather coming in. But off the kids went to school....the sun was out and it looked okay! But that was all about to change!
It was about 8:45 when the gave us the warning! Yup! The warning to get down into the basement! The sirens went off! I'm thinking about the kids at school! They practice this all the time...but they have never really had to do it! We never have had it while they are at school. It's scary when they are not with you.
We were on a warning for about an hour. Poor Emmie! She gets so scared when we have these when she is at home....I'm not really sure how she did at school...hopefully she did okay. We had one of these on Friday night! It was worse then today's......she was very upset and crying and just wanted everyone to be home. Tim wasn't here that night...he was out at a baseball game.
The funny thing is that now it's sunny! You wouldn't even be able to tell that less then a few hours ago this place looked so scary and gloomy! Living here in the South is not fun in the Spring!
They say that we are in for another storm later this afternoon........great!!!

I'm trying this again~
Okay....what you may not know is that this is my second attempt at this today! I tried to do a post a little while ago and it just didn't sound right. I didn't like where I was going with it at all. So, now I'm going to try it again.....hopefully this one will actually make it to blog land!
The other day my neighbor and I were talking about another neighbor. She is moving....she is a little bit.....hmm let me try and get the right word for her........slow? Well, anyways her Mom passed away around 6 months ago or maybe it was more then that. But she was almost 100 years old. She was taking care of her at home and she really had a hard time with it. She would yell and scream at her...not the daughter but the Mom. Anyways.....she talks about her all the time and the other neighbor said that she was getting tired of hearing about it and it's not like anyone else has lost a Mom!
Well, after that conversation that got me thinking........I was wondering if anyone thought that I was talking about my Mom way too much! Then I started feeling bad about my blog! Thinking that maybe no one really wanted to hear all this stuff! Oh my God! Was I doing the same things that she was doing!!!
Then after thinking about it for a few days...I thought to myself that I really don't talk about her that much. I only talk about her to you guys. Well, and to my family here. I really don't have that many people to share my feelings with. I for sure don't go talking about it to my neighbors!!! So, hopefully you all don't think I'm talking about her too much.....I'm surly not trying to! I guess this is my way....my only way to share with you my feelings and what I'm going through. I know it might not be the best way, but it's my way.
For me writing about her is a lot easier then talking about her. I can get more out this way then when I talk about her. My true feelings come out. If you were to call me and ask me how I'm doing....my reply would be fine or you know how it is. That's just me. Easier to write about me and my feeling then talk about them.
This week has been a hard week...an emotional week. Some days I can't look at a picture of my Mom. I have them scattered around the house. Two are on my bedside table. One with just her and the other one is with her and the kids. It was taken when she moved us out here. She is holding Emmie in her arms and both boys are holding on to her. Tim found it and put that in a frame for me before I got home after she passed away. Some days I see it and have to hurry and look away...while other days I just stare at it and can't believe that she isn't here.

She's done it again~
I made it through Spring break! It was a little crazy in this house with all the kids home and then to top it off Tim was off for a few of those days! So, if anyone was wondering why I didn't do any posting last week it was because I had a houseful and also because we did a few things. I'll be posting some pictures later. I can't do it today because we had a little problem after the rain! The basement got flooded again! Not too bad this time around...but it's drying out today and hopefully we will be able to put it all back together in a few days. It's a good thing that we really don't have much down there that can get ruined. It's mainly just my work area.
She's Done it again~
My daughter........I just don't know where she gets it, the things she comes up with, the things she says. She seems to be so much older then she actually is.
The other day for some reason she wanted to tell me that even though we can't see Grandma she can still see us. She went on to tell me more and for the life of me I can't remember all that she said. All I know is that by the end of our conversation I had tears in my eyes.
Another day we were watching TV and there was a story about a lady with Breast cancer and out of the blue she asks me....."Mom, when Grandma passed away did she just fall down?" I go on to tell her how Grandma was in a hospital and try and tell her in a gentle way of how it happened. but before I had finished she stopped me. She said...."Mom, If this is making you sad talking about it I understand." I'm amazed that she is so thoughtful, so understanding of my feelings.
I have told you all before that after seeing how sensitive she is to my feelings that I have now held back on when I'm sad and thinking about my Mom. I will try and do that when I'm by myself. Not that I don't talk about her, but I don't just sit and do it all the time. She comes up with this stuff all on her own.
I wish that my Mom was here to see what a wonderful little girl she has become~
