I have had a kinda crappy week but it got better

Well for starters Monday was the first day of OJT *on the job training* woohooo it went fine and with little problems.... tuesday found out servers going out and we we're sent home early.... and then tuesday night rich and I headed out to get his hair cut and get him some jeans *woohoo the only other time i've ever seen my hubby in jeans was on our wedding day* and on the way back my car stalled out just died.... so i restarted it and it ran and then stalled out again i'm like WTF?!? so we called brad and he came down and looked at it and we had to run around on wednesday and get the parts well we didn't find them but we did go and see harry potter's new movie which I loved and thought was excellent!!! Thanksgiving was wonderful we went to my Aunt Beth and Uncle Dave's house which was lots of fun they have a beautiful house on a large piece of land... and then we headed over to Paula's house and was over there for a 3 hours or so and had a blast there as well..... all in all we had a great thanksgiving... and now it's saturday and I finally have made an apt to get my hair done which I can't believe I finally did!!!! so it's time to wake rich up and get him in the shower!!! LoL
Later days

Eleven Months Ago Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were standing on pensacola beach getting married...... The happiest day of my life!!!!! I think back at all that we have been through and all that we will go through in the future and am happy that I have him by my side..... he can make me laugh when no one else can!! I am so excited Our one year anniversary is just a month away now.... I get so excited just thinking about it.... we really haven't decided what we want to do since it's a monday we'll both probably have to work so we might celebrate early and make it a weekend thing!!!! which I would mind at all...
Me and my Amazing Hubby!!!!

So two weeks later

Well I had a horrible first day at work and cried on the phone to anyone who would listen! so rich and I talked and i made several appointments to interview with family's that were looking for nannies and they went well and that gave me hope.... So I went back on the following monday and it got about 100% better it was a smaller group (they split us up) and the people I just didn't think i could handle weren't in my class anymore !!! woohooo it got easier and I really liked the trainer he's super relaxed and laid back and makes learning so easy.. we get loud and rambunctious and he lets us go on and then reigns us back in and we always end up more focused so he's obviously doing something right. So the more time I spend in class the more I'm thinking maybe I'll stay..... the good thing is that with a "real" job i would have FMLA if I should become pregnant which would be a GREAT thing instead of well i'm pregnant and they start looking for another nanny and replace me before i was ready to do.. considering they hired 2 women who were 7 yeah you read that right 7 months pregnant I have a feeling they're pretty cool about things like that.... plus everywhere I turn I see another pregnant woman.. and I would have insurance although i don't know how good it is.... so we'll just see plus most of the families I was interviewing with wanted part time and when I did out the bills with us wanting to move to a one bedroom that just won't work!!!!! so I think i'm where i'm at for now... i'm happier if only the commute could get better....
Oh about that job in Eustis.... they must be DESPERATE for people.. I called them the very next day before 12 like I had promised and left a message with the secretary that i apreciated the oppurtunity to work for their company but that it was just too far away and the hours we're not what I was looking for. She said she would pass along the message, the very next day she called to "remind" me about the class I again said, "thank you but i will not be in the class I found other employment closer to home!" so I was like damn ..... it gets better, so Sunday night I get another call from the instructor of the class telling me that even though the hurricane was coming that they we're still having the class... again i said, "thank you but this is now my third time informing the company that I will not be working for them!!! I have found other employment closer to home MUCH better hours and MUCH better pay thank you!" she said oh ok.... thinking well damn their dumb! but then wednesday when I checked my voice mail there's a message from the damn people again... this time I got nasty and left a message which was " I am not going to be working for you! I found a job closer to my home, about 2$ more an hour, and a much newer and cleaner facility! I do not want to have another call Please I feel like I'm being harrassed!" and have not heard from them again.. Thank God!!!!
well thats all smile peoples....

Wooohoooo

Well Brad was able to fix my brake lights and make it so they weren't permanently on!!! Thank goodness :) so i went to an interview in Eustis.. ewwww no! and then went to one in Orlando kinda close to where we live not so far away really nice call center really clean bright and friendly and I got hired so now I have a job and I start work next Wednesday 8-5 which isn't bad and then my reg schedule will be 10-7ish.... which I'm not thrilled over but then I do still get to see rich at night which will be wonderful!!!! best part is NO selling and business to business contact.... which means fewer yelling calls!! yay, I like that part...... well that all my news for the past couple of days.... Rich is doing great on his diet and seems to be feeling better overall except today he just isn't feeling himself..... :(
Well later days...

Starting.....

So yesterday I started walking again in the morning.... so today i was going to walk again but it was freakin cold.. yes cold... LoL too cold for the shorts and t-shirt i was wearing so I came inside after a 1/4 of a mile and plugged in the walking dvd we bought a while ago and I really like it alot I did a mile straight through and really enjoyed it.... so the thing is that when we (rich and i are going to start doing it at night) master that one we have a two mile "intense" workout also on the dvd.... so it should last us for at least a little while.. with me trying to get a nanny job I think my weight can be a factor in being hired.... so I at least want to build up my stamina so that I can run around with the best of them....
**so yesterday rich comes home and tell me my tailights are on and i think hmmm thats weird I wasn't running my headlights and they always bing at me when I do leave them on.... ok... well i go to the back of my car and it's the brake lights they're on... so i'm like thats even weirder, so i drive my car a little see if I can't "unstick" them or something doesn't work and still on.. left them and then later on went to see if I could get them to turn off again nope my car wouldn't even start drained my battery.... so after talking to brad *thank god for brad* he sugested we pull up on the brake pedal and what do you know it cut off... so he thinks the spring may be worn and it's letting the brake pedal rest on the sensor that controls the lights.... so i have to have the spring replaced so hopefully it will be a cheep fix and I'm praying that brad can fix it!!!
:) :) :) smile

10 months

Rich and I have been blissfully, happily, indulgently married for 10 months now....
Ok can you tell that I love being with Rich and being married to him is just the icing on the cake... lol we make a good team and work well together... i love his sense of humor and the way he can make me feel..... no one has ever had that effect on me... ok i could go on ad naseum for hours about this but really.....
Mere is coming down in like a month..... wooohooo
Hopefully monday i'll get a call about a job.. woohooo
thats about all this sunday morning.... i got up way to early but thats ok.... i'll just go to bed early....
:)

So After a successful 9 weeks

I got fired... for being sick for half a day..... thats ok after crying and feeling horribly depressed for all day yesterday rich came home and cheered me up and made me feel better and then I had an interview today with a nanny agency which was fun fun fun... and she gave me great news there's a shortage of good nannies and that she thinks she can get me temp work till i can be placed with a family.. which is awesome news just a chance to make money and keep up to date.. i mean our bills are all paid and we have food in the fridge and some money in the bank but and rent isn't due for another 15 or so days..... and rich has a paycheck coming in which will cover that plus food.. but still having that extra money was nice.. the nice thing about temp nannying is that it's cash!! Hello..... but I really liked the lady and she was extremely nice and we got along really well... so i'm supposed to hear from her soon.......wooohoooooo

Tommorow is FRIDAY

I am so freakin happy!!! I have barely made it through this week I'm just so tired I know it's been forever since I wrote in here.. Rich got great news from his dr. he now only has to take his blood sugar every other day and just a couple times instead of everyday 4times a day... he is happy and it's also helped his mood.. LoL he's very numbers focused and this has helped him to think about how he's feeling and to base what he should eat on that.. which is better for him.... we've been walking around the mall because it's been so rainy here.... so when I sit at work and look outside it's GRAY and rainy and really depressing!!!! and it sux it's hard to be upbeat and happy and get yelled at by at least 10 people a day when it's so yucky outside... at least when it's sunshiney and everything looks so clean I can smile.... LoL
We're looking at moving to a one bedroom which I think will be the most wonderful thing we can do right now!!! I love having a studio but as we are making more money we've begun aquiring new things and there really isn't room for it all.. LoL but a one bedroom will be a fun stretch.. budget wise I'm not worried but just what it will look like and will I be able to make it homey like our studio.... right now our apartment is a disaster zone with a capital D rich works 45 hours a week and has a five hours travel time a week and I'm out of the house 50 hours a week as well when we come home i feel good if I can make a healthy dinner and serve it before 6..... I'm right now working on shortcuts to make dinner easier.... one of the biggest ones is making the brown rice ahead of time because it can take an hour to cook which really just stresses me out.... I can get the meat and veggies ready in 20 -25 min the rice just needs to cook faster i don't like the instant or quick cook brown rice......
I am totally psyched for this weekend.. Rachael and Larry are coming down for the Edgewater High School Homecoming Game.. and then hanging out Saturday with his parents which she's thrilled about.... LoL poor thing.... and then sunday we're going to hang out with my family going to the Orlando Museum of Art.. check out what they have there... so excited... www.omart.org
and they we're doing dinner somewhere nice....woohooo I'm way to happy......

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
happy happy joy joy!!!!

One Long Week.....

I don't think this week will ever end... we have a lot going on Rich was diagnosed with diabetes which has totally changed our entire lives mostly for the better eating healthier and exercising.. wooohooo but I am just beat this week and this is my "wednesday" i have 2 more days to work this week and it should prove to be interesting on saturday.... :) yah totally looking forward to working.. can you tell???? LoL well I have to go make another bid on something at ebay... update you later on....

A Lazy Saturday at Home

Pretty Baby

This is Meredith one of my closest and bestest friends and her new beautiful baby Sadie which is short for Sidonia which I think is a beautiful name for a very pretty baby... I love her to pieces and she is over in England and I dont' get to see her or Matt her hubby or the baby!! Hopefully I will get to see her in October when she comes over to the states ..... which by then I should be working my regular schedule which means I have mondays off to hang out with her...

This picture without a doubt makes me smile everytime I see it....

Busy Month

tommorow will make it a month that I've been working now for BankOne/Chase being trained as a Finacial Service Advisor sounds really impressive right... LoL tommorow will be my first day taking any phone calls and will prove to be an interesting one.... Rich and I totally copped out on dinner tonight.... fried chicken dinner from albertson's.. LoL greasy greasy chicken... it was yummmy

Not much more going on here.. I'm working and Rich is working and we get to hang out at night and on the weekends.... and my apartment is totally trashed because i'm not home to clean it... LoL however i have managed to keep a good control on the dishes... if I had a dishwasher than it would be NO problem... but I'm keeping a it down and not too full and 90% empty most nights....

well thats all I want to chill with Rich.... :)

My Family

This was taken at my dad and Sherry's wedding last year... they just celebrated their one year anniversary! and are just an absolutely adorable couple!!!! I love them so very much... So anyways from left to right... is Rachael (the sister I grew up with) Me, my Daddy, Sherry, Emily in front of her ( I'm now an aunt!) Patti, and Laurie (emily's mom and one of my favorite people to talk to!) Our family is actually two people bigger, my sisters husband Larry who is a really great guy! and my hubby Rich who is just an amazing husband who makes me smile just thinking about him! I feel so very lucky to get along so well with the new members of my family you hear so many stories of just no one getting along... but my *other* mom is just so wonderful and so sweet and is funny about not wanting to step on any toes that you can't help but love her.... and her and I can go and do things and it's FUN! and laurie and I talk every couple of weeks and I send Emily little things as often as I can....Patti is a little harder I talked to her at the wedding and really haven't talked to her since but she was very nice at the wedding.....

(**oh we finally got our printer to work... LoL my parents gave us they're 2 month old printer because they wanted a the all in one printer scanner copier so I brought it over and then forgot about the software so two weeks later I finally remember it and copy it from they're computer and now rich is a very happy man! me too!**)

Tuesday morning musings

this is a picture of me when I was just several weeks old, my mommy holding me, my maternal grandmother and then my great grandmother who I'm told NEVER smiled.... I've been having major missing my mommy moments lately.... could be i just had my birthday... could be that my dad and *other*mom just celebrated their one year anniversary it could be a number of reasons. all I know is that I miss her, I miss her advice, I miss her wacked out sense of humor, I miss her hugs, I miss her scratching my back (sounds goofy but Rach knows what I'm talking about) I miss so many things about her.... I do NOT miss the many trips to the hospital, the constant pain she was in, the confusion she would sometimes find herself in.... Mercy Me wrote a great song called homesick and I just get chills when I listen to it.... I'm gonna find the 4x6 picture that was taken the sunday before she died.... she looks so happy and so serene..... I just need to keep that in mind.....
I just needed to get that off my chest....

Way to early to be up on a Saturday morning...

and yet here I sit typing... I probably could have slept in a lot longer but for some reason rich was up early and he got on the computer which completely woke me up and of course now he's back in bed and I can't get back to sleep if my life depended on it... isn't that the way it usually goes.... So I'm here and have a million thoughts running around in my head most notably that I am now officially employed.. wooohoooo that is a huge relief to both rich and I. the pay is phenomenal and the hours are really good for 10 weeks I work Mon-Fri 7:30-4:30 then I have a permanent schedule of Tues-Sat 7am-3:30pm so I'll be home by 4 on most days which will mean that I can start dinner and do any cleaning up before rich gets home at 5.... We're now thinking of staying in Altamonte Springs and getting a bigger place... at least a one bedroom, it'd be nice to have it stay dark in the bedroom when rich has trouble sleeping...well I'm going to plug in a movie and veg for a while....
