Andy's Mom had her birthday today .. I believe it was her 83 years young.. We went and took her a Ice cream Cake , and Katie Made her a Bead Necklace of her Favorite Beads. OH and Cannot Forget her Purple Daisies we Took her.

I also went and got Ryan Some Brand New Shoes today he tends to be so Rough on shoes.. He had some how Tore the bottom of his shoe off and his Toes were showing , these shoes were okay last week and now they were shredded. So Off to Kohl's we went and he found some shoes he Liked. Of course he tried to talk me into another Transformer. I told him to save it for Santa.

Nothing new on the Job front ---I am working Part time with a recall center thru a temp agency and as a "As Needed" with Home Health care place. between the Job, getting the kids off to school and started on getting Resume's out. so I am just Slightly Stressed but not to bad. :-)

I also found out that my Nephew -Luke when he means Batman stickers He Means Batman .. Not Superman... Now I know. Love You Luke!!!!!!!!!!

Job

I started the Phone Work today - I think it will go well , I am so Rusty.. I Am so Glad this is a Temp Job!! I have my Resume's out to the Area Dr. Clinic's Hopefully I can Slide Back into another Clinic soon I Love working with Dr.'s and Their Schedule's and Figuring out which Specialized testing that needs to be ordered. This is my Field and nothing is open it seems like in this area in medical Field . It is just taking me time to find another Full time job. I am Grateful the temp agency is helping and keeping me busy.. :-)

Off and Running

The Temp Agency (well one of Two I work with) called and asked me if I can work on a 3 to 4 week job answering Phones with one of the Businesses in the area. I told her sure-- and will now be working 8-12 everyday until the Full time position comes available . I am also hoping the home health care place calls me in on a "Pop In basis" so I am not so B-O-R-E-D in the afternoon. BUT I must say that the last Client I had was a Piece of work.
It is so Close to Christmas and the Holidays I want to keep busy and Plus I hate just staying around the house not doing to much.

Kids News-- Katie came in Third Place in her Karate tournament and was thrilled to have another trophy to add to her list of accomplishments. Plus a interesting Vocabulary lesson from the bathroom stalls at the high school she was participating .

Ryan- Driving Us batty, he is now in a mode of "Super hero" Villian and he now has Powers that is parents cannot see.

David- comes home from school and moans How tired and sore he is from basketball. All I can say for this - No Sympathy from me. Been there and been sore like that before.

I am now home for awhile now - I was helping out with home health care as a pop in visits , They kept me BUSY for all of last week , But as of this afternoon the family Terminated the service we serve for one of the Clients. LONG story . But I am Elated that I do not have to deal with this certain Person. Nothing bad just Alot of safety things.

So this week I am hanging out with the kids and taking day by day until something Full time comes up with work. so Blah- Blah - Blah

Karate Tournament

I had Katie at her Semi annual Karate Tournament today and she came in Third Place in her Overall Forms which mainly Consists on how well they can to certain Karate Moves (Which is her Favorite Event) .. Before she went to compete I had to take her to the Bathroom . Keep this in mind that we are at one of the Local High Schools in this area for the Tournament, So I take her to the Bathroom and she goes into the stall and she Starts asking me "Mom there is alot of Writing on the bathroom walls in here") and she Proceeds to Tell me the information ,, She starts By reading

1) Jason is Hot..
2) I Love Jason
3) and then Proceeds to ask me Mom.. Why is Jason Hot?

Ok By this time I am Laughing so hard that I can hardly take it anymore. I just tell her that Sometimes Teenagers do some extra writing and it ends up on the Bathroom stalls. I was just not sure how to explain to a Nine year old how this all works out. WHOA.
But I had a good laugh.

Ryan - is also bugging me for money to put in the Vending machines. This seems to be his New Obsession.. He likes the concept of putting money in machines and having a Drink Pop out for him. I guess this could be a worse thing.

Happy Saturday!

lots Done

I got alot done today . I went to weight watchers today I am down 3 pounds this weeks , Yes I lost 3 pounds this week. I also went to the eye Dr. today and Apparently my eyes were alot worse Off than I thought, The eye Dr. told me I needed Bi -Focals -OUCH -I thought I was too young to have this issue but apparently I am now in that "Age Range" where your eyes change , plus it has been two years since my last exam. SO I sucked it up and got the no line bifocals and see how they do. Andy told me today "welcome to the club" He had to go to bifocals last month.
I also had some other little errands that got done today-- for starters I finally paid my ticket from the accident I got into two weeks ago .. I have to get my Drivers license renewed in three weeks and I do not want to take any chances of the DMV not wanting me to renew because of outstanding tickets.I still say this Sucks.

David is trying out for basketball this year and he told me this yesterday- and of course he needs his sports physical signed -of course by the Dr. So I had to drop off the Paperwork by the Pediatrician and hope that it gets signed. David has to sit out of Practice until the Paperwork is signed by the MD.

Tomorrow is a Friday for me .. Whoo Hoo.. This is a very good Perk for me with my New job. Only Down Part is the 4 days of 10 hour days. But I LOVE the 3 day weekends , I can at least get all my crappy errands done of Fridays. Another down side as I was leaving the house this morning at 6:30 am the kids were yelling and tears were flowing... I gave up trying to referee and Left and told them if blood turned up to call me . Somedays it is just not worth the energy.

This is my third Week of Weight Watchers which is going Painfully slow ...I am loosing but just not fast enough , I think everyone feels this way.

Weekend

Well this weekend has been fun filled.

Saturday me and Katie went to a place called Player's choice for a Health/exercise Expo. I was working one of the Booths with work. and Katie went and Played on this Huge Air Blown Up slide and went to all the Booths and got all sorts of Fun goodies from the Different areas. One was from Pets mart and she Got a small frisbee for Ginger. (very Cute) she also got a ton of plastic cups , balloons and Nick nacks.She came home with Orange Hair she had her hair colored orange in one of the booths, and came home with temporary tattoos.

Sunday David went with the youth Group to go horseback Riding up north Near the Michigan Border. He has never been on a horse and he wanted to try and get the Feel on what being around horses were like. I am crossing my fingers he comes home in one piece.

Ryan was home with the hubby this weekend Pretty boring for him.

Things Observed

For some reason over the last several months , I been noticing things that seems funny... and just things that make me go hmm (never thought of )

1) Everyone Forgets Ryan has a different first name - More so in the last couple of weeks since school started. Takes awhile to get the double name with the Face.


2) I have noticed about myself-- When You call me about something ,Just Please get to the Point .. I do not need you to draw me a Visual picture. I think maybe just because I am getting older.

3) Since I started back to work Full time - I have noticed everyone looks so much Younger than I am . HMM Maybe because they are- In a good way the Younger girls seem to have it more together than I did at that age.

4)I noticed that David is more Routined and organized than I will ever be, and he only 13

5) Katie Loves to shop for Clothes way more than I do. We do however love to have our pedicures.

6) I am a GREAT Aunt to 6 great nephews and 2 Great neices. I feel like.. How cool is that?and I am only 36 . so a Great aunt 8 times over. :-)

7) I have the two coolest Nephews ever- Luke and Jake and cannot wait to meet Jake in
December.

8) All my other neices and Nephews are my age -WHICH is weird we were all having kids at the same time.

I was not tired tonight till I stepped in the house.. Very Weird. This was actually my 2nd 10 hr Day that I have had to work... which is not too hard we stay pretty darn Busy at the Dental Clinic. I just need a extra caffeine Break around the three o'clock hour to get me to 6pm.
Kids are doing AWESOME getting up and going in the morning BUT! Ryan starts Dozing regardless at 8pm just simply because I have to get him up 45 mins. Earlier Mon-Thurs poor Kid He does not know what has hit him . bless his heart. takes time regardless to learn a new Routine.
At least I have Andy doing the Cooking.
