Yellow Sky

Over the past month (or year...what month is it?) I have had this reoccurring feeling like someone has given me a free ticket to one of those CRAZY rides at the carnival and it just won't stop. Why did I get on this ride? Nothing is for free! The circus left for it's next venue and forgot to stop this ride I'm on and take it with them....and wow I'm feeling ill! Actually to be honest, I'm really shocked I haven't thrown up yet! That seems to be my thing, or use too!

With the ups and downs of my job and just trying to keep up with every day life, there is one thing that makes me feel like it's all going to be OK. This one thing weighs about 25 pounds and is a couple feet tall (yes she has very short legs) and just makes everything better! Wait...except for when she is sick! The snuggles can be priceless though! So no matter how much life is going to throw at me right now, I have the one constant thing in my life that will help keep me grounded, each and every day I feel like the luckiest person alive!

Just smile and wave

It's been eight years since I have had an interview and in 30 minutes I interviewed for four jobs! I believe that the pendulum will swing either way, but which ever way it does I have to go through another change! This could be a good change....maybe.....well maybe!

Since last April I decided that it's important to have other things in mind because you can't stay in once place for too long or you become a "lifer". I'm not sure if this term is used outside of the corporate world, but I have been hearing it A LOT lately. As I sit here, I feel my eyes wanting to close and my body wanting to sleep for a couple days.

I have to watch other people experience what I have felt for the past year and I guess at times I have been left speechless. What I do know is that I have had to become aware of what is happening around me and I have taken steps to do something different in hopes that this will be the next step for me.

With fall....comes change! What is it about COLD WEATHER!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday would have been my grandma's 89th birthday. She would have said to me, "Tris, it's just another birthday." Her last birthday I think was something special to remember. We had a big party at my moms and both her daughters, granddaughters, grandson and great-granddaughter's were there and it was a splendid time! I do miss watching her blow out the candles, but even though she wasn't here to celebrate another year, I celebrate the life that she had.

Happy 89th Grandma!

MY PLATE IS OVERFLOWING!!

If you look up the meaning of "STRESS", it reads-physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. I persoanlly think that's an understatement! Life is good, for most of the time and then sometimes we get some curve balls thrown in our path and it is our duty as human beings to figure out how to deal with this incovenience.

In the past week my eating and sleeping has been very limited, but all the left over Halloween candy has helped to keep me going.

Our little Bobina has been sick and spiked a fever of 103 on Sunday, not fun at all! Waking up every half-hour is worse than when I was nursing her....at least I knew to go to bed at 8:00 back then!

As usual work is a changing story everyday, I'm always afraid to turn the page, sometimes seems like a fairy tale and other days it feels like a horror story. I have applied for seven jobs in the past two days and well.....it's now the waiting game.

The time change has certainly brought changes and now it seems that each day when the sun rises early a new day has begun and you have to live it like it's the last.
