TGIF (for me anyway)

Sorry, I haven't posted about my job. I LOVE IT and the best part is that Thursdays are technically Fridays...YIPPEE!! This means that we don't see patients on Fridays and I only work from 8:00 to 11:00 am, so it's pretty much like not working :) It's very busy and I constantly feel overwhelmed and like I'm forgetting to do something important, but that's much better than sitting there twiddling my thumbs. It's good to be back in the "corporate world". I miss my kids at the daycare, but I'm much more suited for office work.


Addendum to Bubba post:

I just found out that November 3 is family day where he is in basic training and Matt and I are going to be able to make it :) We are going to drive the 9 hour trip to Georgia on Friday and come back on Sunday. As an added bonus, I also get to see my wacky parents who are acting like lunatics...yay!!

Missing Bubba

I was looking through pics the other day and found one of me feeding bubba when he was little. I think I cried for hours after that. I can't imagine what my mom is going through. He's just my brother and it's hitting me hard-imagine your child! I keep wanting to call to hear his voice and I can't (then I get mad when I realize he uses all his calls for Julie!) Hello, Wesley, we were here before her :) I know he will be home @ Christmas and everyone thinks I'm overreacting, it's just going to take a while to adjust that's all. Wesley has never been a rational thinker, so him joining the ARMY is so something he would do. We are total opposites-I have to think about things for months, he thinks about them for seconds (if that). Neway, all this to say I miss my Bubba.

I am so excited about my new headboard that I made all by myself!! (with the help of Matt's handyman skills of course). I just took an old door, cut it off a little, and placed 2 columns on each side-pretty simple, but time consuming. I am a firm believer that every bed needs a headboard and Matt's anti-headboard bed just had to go...so hola new style!

DEBBI ROCKS!!

Thanks Debbi for all the awesome books!! In my package came a Real Simple Cookbook that Matt and I both will enjoy, The Pilot's Wife, a book about Happy People which sounds interesting, Sense and Sensibility, a scrapbooking magazine which has gotten my scrapping mind racing! and The Organized Life book that I am super excited about!! I have enough cool stuff to keep me busy for a while :) Book swaps are awesome-good idea guys. Can't wait until the next one!! Happy reading to all who participated :)

I am now officially a legal resident of West Virginia..sniff sniff. I postponed the traumatic experience for as long as I could, but I decided that driving around for the past few months with out-of-state expired tags, might just cause me a ticket that I couldn't afford. So here is my pitiful little car with it's out of place license plate staring back at me. Now it's time to go find that hog sticker to plaster to the center :)

Hello world!! Haven't really decided that I'm ready for the world to know my real thoughts, so I will just start out small. Still working out the kinks, so Heather and Debbi, prepare to hear from me soon :) Tomorrow is the first day at my new job, so I'm trying to avoid thinking about it to keep from getting nervous. I can't avoid all the housework that's waiting for me any longer though. Feel free to leave me feedback!!
