1st year anniversary at Work Gift

This month marks my first year at my new workplace. I received a real nice pen and pencil set from my employer. What a nice little gift! I am sure they will come in handy! I do alot of writing.

Last day of work

Ok, this week has been a real rough one. I have had a pretty tough week at work and I decided I couldn't take it no more. I was really going to quit at the appointed time of my two weeks notice. The new schedule came out and I had my last two days on there and I went walking down the hallway to take care of my patients when I started thinking now I have to tell them I am quitting. The thought of that was more than I could imagine. How could I tell these people that I have been taking care of for nine months that I am not going to be working there anymore? So much for the last day of work for me. I couldn't do it. I feel like they are a part of my family and I have to stick it out. So, part time it is! More time at home with the family, then away for a couple days a week with my other one.

Coming closer to Home

I had the weekend off and got alot accomplished. I also put in my two weeks notice and then reality kicked in. How am I going to make my payments? So my plan is to go to part time after I get the next 6 days in out of 7 on the schedule. I am looking forward to spring and planting my garden. Time has already sprung forward and I got up early this morning. This is a miracle :) Time to get ready for work. Have a great day in blog land!

An inch of snow

We got an inch of snow or so. I get to go to work and it is going to snow more according to the weather channel. I hope I don't get snowed in. At least the kids are going to have fun playing in the snow!

Frigid 6 degrees

Cold frigid 6 degrees today. The wood fires are burning. The sun is nice and bright but it's still cold out there. I got a cup of coffee and getting ready to teach the kids some homeschooling before I head to work. Have a great day out there in blog land.

Good morning

I got a little time before I have to get ready for work today. I thought I would start out my day drinking some dandelion tea, I have not drank it in a while and I sure could use some, we have the wood stoves going, it is pretty cold here. I hope you have a great weekend, we made it to church last weekend, since I have to work this weekend we will just have to have church at home. Keep the street preachers in your prayers, and have a great day.

Work, credit card bills,

Hello, I have been working all weekend and have to head back to work again today. I somehow come up alittle short on my credit card payment so I will have to pay it this friday a few days late, hopefully they will understand. I got the food from the angelfood ministry, that come in real handy, it is 41 degrees here today and not suposed to get much warmer than that. Time will be changing soon. Have a great day!

40 years and kicking

Well I am 40 years young at last, I made it it to the 40 mark yesterday. I had cake and presents,cards from family and other family members visited, and email birthday greetings.I had a good time. I got 120.00 dollars,ponytail holders,hairbrets,night gowns,dishcloths,candles and candle holders,chocolate,2 new shirts,a dress,lotions and bath soaps and a trip to the dentist. I have to be on antibiotics so I didn't get to get my tooth out and it will be around the 3rd of November before they can work me in. I have to work today so I guess I will write more later.

Days off are over looking for a Caregiver job

I had a few days off and it was nice. I got to talk to an old friend and she has a job as a caregiver. She takes care of one person and makes more a week than I do taking care of 31 people. So I am on a mission to find a caregiver job taking care of one person in their home. I have had plenty of experience as a cna,Qma,Lpn taking care of others and hope to find a job soon. I think 150.00-200.00 a day will be a good starting pay for my services. If anyone is needing a caregiver and would like to talk with me about my services you can email me at sweetpea_47167@yahoo.com
I would even be willing to relocate for the right amount of money.

Work

I was sitting at home yesterday when the phone rang, and it was work wondering where I was, I thought I had the day off. So much for thinking yesterday because I was wrong. So I went to work and ended up staying till after midnight trying to get done. There was still lots to get done but I was tired and missed my kids so I stopped and said I'll be back tomorrow. So I have to get ready for work today. When I got to work I got my dental insurance card finally. I am going to be able to get my teeth fixed! I couldnt afford the health insurance but at least the whole family is going to have nice teeth :) One thing at a time. I have to somehow come up with my car payment, I am running low this week. So I guess I will go check out the bank account and get ready for work. I was so glad to have the weekend off and spend some time with our friends from tennessee. I was a blessing, I really hated to see them leave. If you have time be sure to listen to the preaching we taped while they were here, just scroll down and click play on the previous post and be sure to listen. Have a great day!

Update

Ok, I guess it's time to update everyone on what I've been up to. Last saturday I got the worst charley horse in my calf that didn't want to go away, which left me with a limp. After a few days I was ok and the pain went away. So I went to work and I noticed after a few days I had about a 7 inch bruise down the front of my leg. I didn't remember hitting it on anything. So work as usual I went back, still no pain just the big bruise. Then Friday moring pain again, same place and the limp was back. Now I was starting to wonder what in the world was going on. I was suposed to work so I started getting my uniform ready, still limping around I thought, I can't go to work limping, I have way to much walking to do and my leg would be killing me by the end of the night. So I had to call in. I got a call from my Edna mom, (I have two moms)! Considering it could be a blood clot, she said bedrest and aspirn every 4 hours (since she knew I would not go to the Dr.) and drink sassafras tea. So I took her orders and by the next day the pain was gone. Praise the Lord! I have a huge bruise that is getting bigger. No pain though. So I was able to get back to work and then guess what, we had another call in and another girl was sick so I had to stay over till close to 3am. On a good note, it was Labor day after midnight so I got paid time in a half and they give me a 25.00 gift card to walmart that I was able to stop by and get some extra groceries for the kids! Then I had to get up an right back to work the next day. So I survived, and made it back, I get the day off so I have house cleaning,homeschooling,and rest to do today. In my spare time I will be searching for any way to make some extra money to get these stinking bills paid off!! Have a great day in blog land!

Who knows what tomorrow brings

Hope you are having a great day, I am drinking my coffee getting ready to go to work again, I worked all weekend, Friday we started school so I have been too busy to blog. Busy as a bee! I see there is a hurricane heading toward Florida, Russia troops are supposed to be pulling out today, who knows what tomorrow brings!

Back to work

I had a day off and now its back to work again. I got 6 quarts of peaches froze. There are more to freeze but I don't have time to today. Not sure when my next day off is but I know I will be ready. I have people wanting to buy my peaches so if I have some left over I may be able to sell some. I was able to give some of my neighbors some too! Have a great day!

I am tired today

Ok, I am wore out today so I guess I need to apply that verse from yesterday because my legs and back are feeling it today!! I am washing my uniform for work and found out that the lady didn't order me more uniforms when I sent my other ones back because they were to big, she happens to tell me the day that the new uniforms come in, oh you didn't fill out another paper to order more, WHY DIDNT SHE TELL ME THIS TO BEGIN WITH??? I thought she was just going to exchange them. So I told her I would just order them from somewhere else. So I have alittle time to get ready today, then I get a day off, just one then I get to work the weekend. HELP me LORD!

Peaches

The peaches are ready for picking. I am glad we have so many this year, and they are going to get ready one tree at a time. The other peach trees are still green but one is loaded and ready. Thank God for the wonderful peaches. I am selling peach trees for 5.00 each and they will be well worth your 5.00 when you have such a great turn out as this! I have to work today, this is my hard week, one day off out of six. Still working on the school room, it is going to be so nice to have a school room! My bird has been so playful this morning, he just can't stop whistling. Have a great day out there in blog land.

Watch out Big Trucks!

So I called the law office and got a deal worked out for one of my credit cards. I paid 325.00 to get started and it will be 250.00 a month after that. In around 6 months that bill will be paid in full! They were actually pretty nice this time. So then I was on my way to work Friday evening when all of the sudden this big enterprise box truck comes over the center line right at me, I turned the wheel but had very little room to the right so sharply turned it back and was on the road with an abrupt jerk. After realizing I was still alive and OK I could feel my heart pounding!! God had to of pulled me through that one because that truck was headed right for me! So I made it to work and after a long night's work I get home and the kids had been playing with the toys in my room. So I shut the light out and all of the sudden while walking to my bed I land my foot on something that crunched! It hurt pretty bad so I decided to go back and turn my light back on to find my jewelry box, crushed. I guess they had decided to play with that too! So my glass in my jewelry box is crushed and my toe is bleeding and now I am really hurting! I just thank God it didn't cut my toe off! So my son help me get that bandaged up and off to bed I went, slept like a baby!

Day Off Cooking and Cleaning

I got a day off work to cook and clean! Still didn't get anywhere near done what I wanted to. I have heard that in the end times, time will go faster, I think that is right, I can not seem to get everything done! What about you?

July 3,2008

I got to get ready for work again today, drinking my morning coffee and listening to preaching from Wally Langford, you can listen to him on crusade radio M-F @8pm. My husband recorded it so I am listening to it now, or you can go to you-tube and type in Langford and listen now!
I got my new boxes of Teddy Graham trail mixes and if you have not tried them you should they are a great low cost snack that your kids will probably like, mine sure did!
Gotta go for now!

Work away from home

Well I get to go to work again today, I was so happy yesterday when I got the mail and had my free 75.00 worth of papa johns gift cards! I can recommend you if you want to get the free gift cards too I just need your email address. I think I can only sign up 5 people a month, but if I am wrong whoever wants to sign up I will refer you as I can. Just send me your email. I used the gift cards as birthday presents for the kids. They came at just the right time and the kids loved the birthday presents. Well gotta get ready for work, gotta pay those bills!! Have a great day!

Why are you working outside of the HOME?

I know some of you are wondering, why is wahmof6 working outside of her home??? Is that not against scripture, well not according to my husband who at this point and time thinks this is what I should be doing. Hopefully some day soon I can come back home where I am to be. My goal is to pay off the current bills, car payment,credit cards, (which is another big no no, I would never suggest anyone to get even one credit card, they are TROUBLE!!!)hospital bills, and the home business taxes,then save enough up for some land to buy to raise these kids on. That is my goal, then hopefully I will get to stay home with my kids. Who knows, maybe some miracle will happen and I will get to come home before then! Awaiting for that great day when our Lord and Savior returns, Shona
