Good Morning to Everyone.
Have a question for everyone. Maybe someone can help instead of me waiting for hours on the unemployment line. I went to a job interview yesterday and the place I went to was a naturalpathic doctors office but in there office they us incense all day to make the place smell not so doctor office smell, well if they hire me can I say no because the incense made me have an asthma attack and I don't think I could work that way everyday plus the job is 9 hours a day 6 days a week. Can anyone help answer that question. and No unemployment did not send me there. I found it myself. Thanks.

Babysat last night for my daughter. Aurora is sure turning into a toddler fast. She has lost a lot of her baby fat if she really had any and is moving much faster then she has. God help us all when she starts to walk. I will send pictures as soon as I can get them off of my email to here.

Good morning Ladies!! Hope everyone is doing well. One more day of the two jobs and then full steam ahead on the open house! Getting the cake order in will be THE thing! By the time this crazy party is over only about a month and she'll be off to boot camp.

Vickyrun, I only call him a POS here. I don't interfere, just vent. When she asks my opinion though, I give her an honest answer, then tell her it is her life. I am here for her.
Anna, sorry about the dog bite. I love dogs.
Made it to Va. Beach. Spending a few nights in a hotel. Got them their own room. Movers will be here on the 11th. Going to relax and enjoy for a few days.

Hi all, I had a busy weekend with the Italian Picnic and Parade.
Anna, sorry about the dog attack. I don't care much for dogs either.
Catsmom, I try not to interfere in my daughters' marriages. I find it best to stay out if it unless she wants advice. So try calling your son-in-law a son-in-law instead of a POS. It may not help him, but it will help you. The Serenity Prayer works, too. Do you know it? "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." The wisdom comes in knowing that you cannot change your son-in-law you can only change your attitude towards him.

BaileysMom, I don't understand theses men, or so called men! Yay the PIR is not long! Keeping busy helps a little.
We are driving to Norfolk, we are in NC not far from VA. Plans changed again because the lazy POS decided we had to do it this way. Had to do the call around for a new hotel, the one I booked was full the whole week, couldn't stay there earlier. Found one near ORF . He wasn't happy, but he changed the plans..they have 2 big dogs, so limits your choice. Movers also changed the delivery date from the 10th to the 11th. Crystal signs the lease tomorrow, so will be able to stock with food first. I am so frustrated with the POS, I am showing a lot of restraint. Told Crystal she should be happy I am. She said I know mom, I am. She asked me if he has changed..Told her I see no change, he seems worse to me. God please open her eyes!.

Anna, I will try getting a picture of Aurora tomorrow when I am babysitting her. Her mom has not posted any new pictures on facebook due to she doesn't believe in putting a lot of pictures on there so I am going to take them with my phone tomorrow. So I will post some on Tuesday for everyone. She is almost 11 months old and is almost walking. She just need the confidants to do it.
