Good Morning to Everyone.
Sorry I over slept today so it might be afternoon to some. Love the house and what a why to meet the neighbors.
Catsmom, enjoy your time with Crystal.
We are having our typical weather here, RAIN. It is suppose to get into the 60's by mid week. Will keep everyone posted if I got the job or not. I should know by late today or early tomorrow. I am still not sure I want it or not so I am leaving it up to the Lord to decide. If I get the right shift then it was meant to be if not then I will have to turn it down. I will not miss my time with my granddaughter and babysitting her. Easter was quiet. We went to hubby's mom and dads and had brunch with them. It was really very good. My daughter spent it in Canada with her hubby's family without her hubby. He had to work and was not able to go. The rest of my kids just stayed at home and had a quiet day. Very relaxing day. Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter.

Good morning.
Blondie, love the house, and that is a nice way to meet your neighbor. :-)
Still in Pensacola. We leave on Wednesday :-(
Will see Crystal when she gets out of class today. She spent the weekend in our room, loved every minute of it. Went to the shelter with her to walk the dogs, we went to Foley AL to do some shopping. And we had some beach time. Relaxing and fun weekend. Not sure how much time we will get tomorrow, she got an email that she has watch on Tuesday 9:30 pm till 1 am :-( so today may be our last day
Needless to say she was not happy about it.

Good afternoon, Happy Easter weekend to all. Thanks, Catsmom, one more week to go.
Tomorrow I am playing Mary at church, I will be using the scarf Chrissy gave me after her first deployment. I have never worn it as I am not a scarf lady.

Jean, so happy the interview went well. Praying you get the job, with the hours you want.
Blondie I think the old way with charts would be better. Sounds like the computer system is making more work.
Vickyrun, enjoy your girl when she gets there.
Happy Easter everyone. Enjoying my time with Crystal. :-)

Good afternoon all, Jean , I am glad the interview went well. I was busy this morning, meeting with our Children's Pastor. I am helping with our Easter activities. I have no family this weekend but it is nice to be busy at church. Chrissy will be on leave next weekend, so family stuff will be next week. Youngest daughter is in the Midwest so she won't be here. My ex will be at the the party ugh! But at least I should get Chrissy and Aaron to myself at the lunch date, she changed the day but that is Ok as long as she doesn't cancel.

Good Morning to Everyone.
Well the job interview went well. It won't be a bad job like I though. It actually sounds like it will be a better job then what the temp agency said. Other then I will be starting work at 6 in the morning. Which means I have to leave the house around 5 everyday. That will make for a early morning but at least I get off early enough to watch Aurora for Christina. The other shift is from 10 until 7 at night. I don't want that one. There won't be parking either at that time. So if they offer me that time I will have to say no and lose my unemployment. Because unemployment one rule is you have to take a job if it is offered. Which sort of sucks. Everyone have a Fantastic Easter Weekend and Happy Easter to All.

Hi everyone.
Jean I agree with Vickyrun too. Interview well, you can always turn down the job. Enjoy your time with Aurora
Blondie, hope your feeling better, and the weather is warming up.
Crystal suprise us and was waiting at the airport when we landed. I thought I was seeing things..LOL was so good to get that long hug.:-) It was kind of a stressful situation getting here. Our flight frome Orange county was delayed almost an hour. A flight attendant got sick on the plane, after everyone deboaded, the paramedics went in and brought her out on a strecher. Then we had to wait for another flight attendant to show up. Just barley made phenix in time for our connecting flight. LOL today we watched the Blue Angels fly, explored the air museum, which had new planes for the 70 anniversary of the end of WW2. Walked around the light house, then walked along the beach. And got lost driving back to the hotel..LOL Crystal came after class. We did some shopping, and went to dinner. The weather is warm and hummid, but love being with her.

Good morning all, Hi Jean, my advice is do the interview even if you don't want the job. Do it just to practice your interview skills. ie; act like you do want the job. You can always turn-it down if you get a job offer!

Good Morning to Everyone.
Well I have a job interview today. I am not sure I want this job though. It is from the Temp agency and it is like the one I just left. I will do the interview but am hoping that it doesn't work out. I'll let you know what happens. Then off to babysit Aurora today. Christina has school tonight. I like Thursday when I'm not working. Other wise it is really a late night. There until after 10:00. Bed time is usually 8 or 9. So I am tired the next day.
