Well, I haven't been paid yet, but....I should get a check tomorrow for a decent amount given I was there 3 days and actually Friday I get paid at my other job. Last time it was 450 so not bad will avg about 15-20 an hour!!! Sure comes in handy!

Can't still get over all the cash running around out there! Geez, guys walking around with 10's of thousands cash in their pockets! Whew!

Gracie had strep, sis took her to the doc on Friday for me. She's still a little croupy sounding.

Hey ya'll myspace peeps....I changed my display name to CB.......

complete and utter do do head....that's me. i was so worried over missing work last friday and wanting to make sure i was fully prepared for our meeting with the finance guy, that it never occurred to me that today is a WORK HOLIDAY!!!!! i know this now! cuz i'm at work.......and i'm a big dum dum.....

sigh. i really thought i had escaped the evil sickness that caught hank last week.......however it found me yesterday......good god talk about violent and UNpleasant! i haven't touched food in over 24 hours. me n water are doing just fine thanks.....had a couple sips of coffee. dropped about 6 pounds since yesterday........yup six. brutal. glad to be alive......

we're getting whomped with another rain/high wind event today....hank trekked off to the job site, but if this system hits as they forecast (always iffy) they'll probably shut down early.

i can't believe that I FORGOT a paid day off!!!!???

Good morning to all my groupies.....

Hoping you all had a safe and hopefully peaceful week-end....

I read back that some of you got sick; sick children is always so hard to bear; let's hoping that his lungs clear quickly and back out playing with his friends..keep all the little children warm strep and all it's just so darm damp and cold..The house looks wonderful, just think about it with a driveway like this, you'll never have to take Buck for a walk anymore heheheheh....

Me, I am just sitting back writting to you all; like Anvil, I did NOT forget that today was a paid holiday (yes we have them in Canada too), and that's why I am here at home nice and warm with coffee in hand :morning

Feeling just a bit down today it's my late mother's Birthday today, and I can't go visit her gravesite; the visibility outside is very dangerous and treachous driving, not very safe; I will go visit her next week-end for the Anniversay of her death...

My space buddies; i re-did my whole page...again....heheheh

Hi guys,
Sounds like everyone's kids are getting over the cold funk going around. Jake has a stuffy nose and cough today too. Aaron just got over his last week.

Weekend was good. AH and I had a good time Friday night.. made a meeting before going out to this live audition he had. The guitar player is pretty good, guess they're rehearsing on Friday and then see if AH is a good fit. We got into a wicked fight on Saturday morning. The conversation was going so well, then I said something about money and he took offense to it because he thought I meant that the money he was bringing home was not good enough. That is not at all what I meant, but it did not matter. His attitude went from 0-60 in a second.

He has no fuse and just reacts and gets angry about every little thing. It is difficult living with someone when they are always angry or irritated. I got caught in his cycle of wanting to defend myself but when he's angry he's emotionally hurtful. It did not take me as long as it normally does to pull out of the war. I did, went shopping and calmed down. I did not listen to his voice mails because they were still angry voice mails that I will not subject myself to, so I just deleted them. Eventually a couple of hours later he called back much calmer and apologized for his behavior. He recognized that he has a problem and that he needs to get back to counseling. A sponsor could help him but he does not have one yet. Just part of those character defects that we both have that need healing. We both can have tempers but its just not worth damaging our marriage and family over.

Our family therapist was in my head the whole time saying... pull out Shaun this is not productive. So, the rest of the weekend was busy with housework, laundray etc. I've been grumpy since Saturday trying to get out of it.

Hope you guys all had decent weekends... no holiday for me today, luckily CPID is closed so we don't have to take new cases and new referrals... yeah maybe I can get some paperwork done. Wishing each of you a blessed day.

i need some to cindi. can't quite get going on my term paper. had my interview this morn so if all goes well i should be a dept. store employee very soon. oh boy, i'm not all that excited the extra $ and discount at xmas time sure will be handy.

anvil-hope you're feeling better. silly goose - showing up at work on a paid day off! LOL.

aj - my ah reacts the same way in arguments, especially ones about money, it took me years to figure out that its not productive and to just walk away. good for you!!

gotta go find something with caffiene - be back soon.

ok, on jetblue, the rates for going from JFK to Orlando on the second weekend in March (leave Fri, come home Mon) the rates are 140 per person down and $100 per person returning, so about $720 not including taxes and fees, so i would guess at least $850 or so. Thats too much for me. If I go, I'll be going without the kids.

The Turkey Rueben with saurkraut was out of this world today!! Jewelz, (bob barker "Com'on down") I'm excited for you, hope you find a great package. Sup Cind...how'd cleaning go this weekend? Anvil...the Hawks are taking 1st place in the NFC West Division tonight:-) Congrats on the job Finally, praying that you get an extra wind at your new job. This weekend was perfect beach weather, didn't get too much done needless to say because my behind was planted on the sand. I was in a movie yesterday as an extra at a party scene. It took 5 hours to shoot 4 scenes, 10 takes at a time. MAde a new friend though, She's JAmaican...an island girl who can shake it...lol...lots of love to ya ladies!!
