Saturday

Hello everyone! I have been so busy I swear I don't even have time to stop and think sometimes. I have over an hour drive to work now (not complaining, just happy to have a job!) and leave when it's dark and get home after it's dark. I will be so happy when the time changes and it stays lighter longer! I know many of you have been suffering from the bitter cold I hope you are all staying warm. We haven't been hit as hard as you but it has been low last night it was in the low 20 degrees and I have had to bring all my plants in, all week I have had to scrape ice off my jeep. Work is going good, it's a job, hubby still has had no luck with work and it's starting to get to him. This is a man that has NEVER as long as I have been with him ever been out of work voluntarily. I just wish that if nothing else his unemployment pay would start coming through. I have picked up some side work I am able to do from home which has help. I got 8 new orders this weekend but unfortunately the county website I use to complete the work is not working for some reason. I hope to be able to use it before Tuesday so can get the copies I need and get it fed exed in hopes of maybe getting paid before rent is due! I paid what little bills I could today the water, trash, part of the electric and the remainder of the additional deposit required by Withalacoochie Electric Rip-Off I mean Co-Op this final $70 will result in a total deposit of $420 unreal in my opinion. I was pretty lucky Verizon made a mistake and over charged me by $300 this month which resulted in a credit to my account, well because they applied a credit the systems recognizes that as my monthly payment hence they aren't breathing down my neck for money I don't have! Let's see car payment was due on the 15th I should start recieving daily calls from them soon uuuggghhh! Thank goodness my Mom is paying my car insurance for the time being, so sad I am 32 years old and my mom is paying my car insurance I think I might ask her to pay to have my tag switch to Florida for my birthday present! Long gone are the days of asking for fancy earrings or yummy smelling stuff for your birthday haha! We got to watch the rocket launch tonight that was pretty cool, my step-mom actually works on that rocket so the kids loved seeing it knowing their grandma helped build it. I hope to maybe get back on line regularly soon but we are staying pretty busy between 2 jobs and now we have become really active in our new church. We have started a new sunday school class and I joined the women's group that meets every other Wed., this past wed was my first meeting and I had such a great time. On wed nights hubby takes the kids to church for the dinner and then I meet them there in time for classes. The kids go to youth group, young ones go to childrens church and hubby and I go to the parenting class held every other Wed and I go to that womens thing every other wed it feels good to be involved in something. Have a great night yall!

Yeah! Cher

Welcome! I am not really sure what I was going to do with this other than try and motivate myself :0) so thank you for joining and making me feel like not so much a loser haha

Update

Well I have been going for what seems like non stop since I started working. I have never had an hour commute before and it really does make a huge difference in the time you have to spend on everything else in your life. Tonight is the first night I have been able to sit down and write a little in a long time. It's nice and quiet tonight in this room anyway. Hubby is at the cable guy's house (his new friend and a great guy to know when you lose your remote haha!) and the kids are watching the BIG game. Today is The BCS championship game in Miami between The Florida Gators and The Oklahoma Sooners. Big deal stuff in Gator Country. Today at work we were aloud to dress casual and sport our gators gear, you couldn't go in a store without seeing guys head to town in Blue and Orange buying 12 packs of Bud and the kids said everyone at school was wearing school colors. Let's hope they win or it will not be a happy town tomorrow haha!

The other big news in my neck of the woods makes my heart ache! The Travolta family held the funeral for their son Jett today and I just found out it was right here. I had no idea they lived here? Everyone in town is being very protective and giving those slime ball media hounds a hard time and making it difficult for them to be the sleeze balls that they are. I really can't imagine what the family must be going through and am keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.

Hubby and I were in CVS on Christmas Eve and I tested my blood pressure well it was THROUGH THE ROOF and I mean HIGH I have never had high BP before it's always been low this scared me so bad that I have changed the way I eat, have become more active and am going to try and live healthier for my kids.

Well everyone is back and being loud and I am going to get to bed. Have a great Friday all!

Is there anyone out there?

I have been following the real age plan for over a week now and I was really hoping to have anyone join me on this?

Hello, Hello is there anyone out there? Just nod if you can hear me? Is there anyone home?

New year, New Beginnings

Good Morning everyone. I feel like I can finally breath and am glad the holidays are behind us. The holidays are always such a hectic time for me, not to mention I am not getting paid for all those days off which makes for a not so great paycheck! Work is going good, I am still in training upstairs but have go to work at my desk 1.5 days so far. I had the option to work new years eve so I did and because training was not scheduled I got to do a little actual work and I got my computer woo hoo! Hubby is still looking for a job. Bless his heart he is so unhappy he's not working or "providing". He is just in a bad industry right now. I know pretty much every industry is bad but there are those like boat building, construction and auto workers who are really bad right now. I saw a news report that said Florida just hit a 9% unemployment rate tying us with Michigan (Hi Cher!, we're neighbors now :) ) and 1 in 10 people in Fl are on Food Stamps! Those numbers are astonishing! Ok this post has been sitting unfinished since 1/1 it's time to just publish what I have an move on!
