Well by the urging of Jess over at Brad and Jess, I guess I better post something. I don't know why, I only have 3 followers so apparently what I have to say is not that interesting or inviting for that matter but what the heck, 3 is better than none I guess.
Let it Go..... is my theme today. Just let it go Laura, you can't fix it, you can't make it better, you can't achieve their hopes and dreams for them so just let it go. And....Let God take care of it.
You see, I have these three girls in my life that make my heart beat and keep me going. They have been there with me all the way, through thick and thin, through the hard times and the good times and the sad times. And you know......we have had our share of them. All I want to do is wave my magic wand and sprinkle that magic fairy dust all over them so that the stars would begin to surround them and they would all feel their fears, their sadness and their anxiety just melt away. That's what I wish I could do, but I know and I know that they know that I can't do that. I can't give them their hopes and desires, only God can do that. Now if God would like me to take on the position as his "ALIVE EARTH BOUND" assistant and give me those powers of granting miracles, I would certainly do that. I would love to be able to bring a smile and tears of joy to anyone's face and give them what they have always wanted.
I do realize that I am uncapable of that , so I just have to Let It Go.....and let God, because I know HE CAN!!!!
He will somehow work it all out because that is what he promises us and that is what I just have to keep believing because you see, I cry too, I want some things so bad sometimes that I can taste them and I imagine having them and "my" life being in a better position because of them. So today on my way to work as I talked to God like I do every morning. I just said, OK you win....I give it all to you. I lay my burdens at your cross and then I stated softly...."In Jesus Name, I pray..Amen".

Vacation - really?
Why is that you have to work like a mad woman just to get everything ready at work to go on vacation. By the time it gets here, I'm exhausted. When the 5:00 hour chimes on that last day, I just want to get up and say that's it, i'll see you in 9 days. Nope, all I hear is make sure you get everything done before you go and make sure I have the next weeks info all ready for me while your gone and make sure you tell everyone what needs to be done in your place. Good heaven's people.....I want to go on vacation with somewhat of a sound mind. You work late to get it all done and a you do a week's worth of work ahead, but somehow when you come back it's all piled high on your desk with sticky notes everywhere on what someone couldn't find while you were gone!! Plane tickets, hotel reservations, complaint calls, accounts payable....oh the list goes on.
It's been like that for at least the last 21 years so I should just be used to it by now. When I was in the stores, I could just leave my "post" and that was it. I guess the only good thing about it is that my desk is the cleanest you will see it until the next time I have to do the vacation preparedness drill.
Even after 28 years of working and earning 5 weeks vacation, I still have to make sure that I take mine at the least busiest, most opportune moment when no one else will be around and that need my daily care and assistance.
Well, ok, I've griped enough. I am thankful I have a job and have had a job for all this time, but I just want to be able to come and goes as I please, answer to noone and do what I want to do when I want to do it. Someday maybe. For now, I will continue to cater, assist, and be at the place I need to be at the right time!!
Oh come on Thursday at 5:00pm, well maybe 6:30 - 7:00pm that day so I can finally say...see ya people in 9 days!!!!

First Time For Everything - So Here We Go!
My very first post! Wow, how I have evolved in this world of technology. My girls are so much better at this and they amaze me on the things that they can do. I'm lucky if I can get the basics down. I'm a little bit more experienced than the basics, but not a computer genious for sure.
I can't believe that the first of April is almost upon us. I always heard when I was little that the older you get the faster the days go. I think my mother told me that, well she sure was right. I remember thinking oh my when I wish these kids were old enough to do for themselves and I wished they were old enough to drive themselves and then old enough to provide for themselves, well I got my wish..........except for the last one. I have two of them still on my "payroll" as I like to call it. Now, they are not full-timers, only part-timers for now and I'm sure someday (soon) they will hand me their resignations and I can cut them their last check and their new employers will give them all they would ever need. I certainly don't want to have them leave on bad terms for heavens sake because some day, I may need to be on THEIR payroll! I can tell you though, that the loyalty that I have from these three joys of life they would hire me in a moment and take care of me until my last days. I do know that they have already taken a vote on who will get who. I'm not too sure who will get me, but I think poor dad is still in negotiatians. As long as he brings his truck and Harley, it may be C that takes him.
Well I've enjoyed writing my first post and I certainly hope it won't be my last. I look forward to all that will read and follow and hopefully I can certainly do the same to others.
