It has been such a long time since I have done anything on this site. I have gotten a job, and now have switched jobs and am working in accounts payable. I really like the job. It sure does beat dealing with the public.
Audrey is 3 years old going on 15. She has had a cold this week and has not sounded real well.
Abby is 2 now and boy she is a ball of fire. She is such a stubborn sweetheart, and I love her very much. Her favorite word in "NO!" She says it so much that it is actually a habit now and says it first before giving her real answer. She is trying to potty train now. We are not pushing her at all, just trying to let her do it on her own as much as possible.
It looks like we will be sending Audrey to preschool next August. I am so nervous, because I truly want to homeschool the little boogers.
God has truly blessed us and continues to hold us close to Him no matter how much we may try to fight him.
I hope to get on here more often now. God's blessings!

Well, Ive started this job, and I really love the work. It is right up my alley, but I had a run in with one of the other employees the other day and he ended up writing a statement about me. I will admit that I was being a smart elic (sp?), but at the same time I was not going to let him run over me. Then yesterday I asked for my days off for the Vegas trip, I already made arrangements, this was before I knew that my co-worker would be leaving so soon. They called me back and told me basically no. I basically said that I was sorry, but plans have been made, and I knew that I was not going to be paid for it. So my supervisor told me to talk with his supervisor and see if we could work something out. I had applied for a couple of jobs, and I thought that I should be responsible and respectful to them and let them know what was going on. Well my supervisor told his supervisor and his supervisor wanted to know if I was giving my notice. So now, the supervisor is wanting to talk with me. I called him and explained that I was not quitting, but I was wanting to let them know what was going on so they would not be blind-sided by me if I get another job. This morning I find a message on my husband's phone that is grandfather is in the hospital with heart problems, and now we are waiting to hear from them to see what we are going to need to do.
I miss my babies so much, and they are beginning to show the signs of acting out because of their world turning upside down. So, now here I am praying that God will show me where I am supposed to be and what I am supposed to be doing. My girls are so important to me and I want what is best for them. Is that me at home with financial struggles or is that me gone to work and doing okay financially? I just do not know. It is a big struggle for me right now.

I had dinner tonight with 3 friends from high school to plan our 10 year reunion. I could not believe after ten years the immature tendencies we all still have. It felt like I had just went back to high school and I was somewhat disappointed in how the conversation went. I understand that we all have issues from our past that have affected us in one way or another, but when is it time to say enough is enough and grow up and move on. I can truly say that I am there. I want to move on and be the person I am now. I have changed so much since high school and I am thankful that I chose to change. I can only pray that others will see their need for change and make that choice quickly.

The girls and I loaded up and went to my brother's for supper this evening. They bought a Wii. I had never played one, but I heard that they were fun. Oh my gosh, that is an understatement! I had so much fun with just the games that it came with, bowling, baseball, golf, tennis, and boxing. Audrey loved it, she bowled and play baseball. I think we all need one, because you do have to actually get up and do the stuff to be able to play and it was so much fun. Oh, and the food was good too. LOL. I want a Wii!!!!
I am not feeling well at all today. Last night I started not feeling well because my nose was stopped up and such. This morning I was so dizzy that I was sick to my stomach. Now, I am still feeling heavy headed and sick to my stomach. I called in to work this morning as well, which I totally did not want to do, but did not feel that it would be safe for me to drive when the world was spinning so fast. So now, I am sitting here wishing that my stomach would feel better and that my head would unclog or something to get some relief from this state of feeling like I have taken 2 benadryls (sp?)

Well, I made it! I completed my first week of work and I feel, well I really do not know how I feel. I have cried pretty much every day. I feel beat down spiritually when I get home and that is not something I am used to. I have been sheltered for the past 3 years. Now I am out in the world, putting my faith to work and I did not remember it being this hard. I am not around spiritual people at work. I pray constantly for God's light to shine through, but it is tough.
Chris is such a wonderful husband, he is hanging in there taking care of the girls. Tuesdays we will put the girls in daycare, but only for that day. I have a ton of paperwork to fill out for them. The daycare is one of two three star daycares in Oklahoma, at least that is what I was told. I went in there the other day and was really impressed but also very scared. The girls will not be in the same classroom for now, so I am not for sure how I feel about that. They will both be on a waiting list though.
The house is a mess. We still have not gotten much of a system to keep the house clean.
I like the job, the work is right up my alley, although here in a few weeks I may not be saying that. My knee is bothering me pretty bad. I am going to make a doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks to see what is going on with it. I am pretty sure it's a tumor in the joint.
Well, I think I have jabbered on enough. Mandy

I was at my mother-in-law's house last night watching American Idol tryouts. I sometimes wonder what people hear when they sing or when others sing. Surely they can hear that they are off key or just yelling a song. I really think that now with this season, people just tryout to make the outtakes for people to make fun of them. They will then probably get an award at the end of the season for something. Anyway, I just cannot believe what some people will do just to be seen on tv. I like to sing, and do feel that I can carry a tune, but I know that I am not anywhere near good enough to be a superstar singer. I also know that I dont have confidence enough to go and let the judges blast me, I know that I would cry. Anyway, just some thoughts off the top of my head. Mandy

We are potty training Audrey right now, and boy is it trying. If I did not think she was ready and knew what was going on I would not put this upon her. But one day she told me that we could not play candy land yet, because she pooped and I had to clean her up. Well, now she is wearing big girl panties during the day, but when she goes to bed she wears her big girl diaper. The mornings are the hardest, she does not want to go pee, she tells me that she is not a big girl. I try not to argue, but sometimes its hard not too, then I realize I am arguing with an almost 3 year old. Anyway, it will all work out the way that it needs to. Mandy
Well, 2008 has started off with a bang. We had Christmas at Chris's grandparents on the 1st, where I was victorious playing Dirty Santa!!! LOL, sorry Lora. We then had Christmas at Chris's parents house, which was great. We were supposed to watch a football game on the 2nd, but what we tuned in to did not look like much of a game, so I went to back to my in-law's, right across the driveway, and played Family Feud, that was fun.
Chris dropped his Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes at Ada, but he kept his online classes. We took the girls with us to Ada on Monday and went to eat at Doc's BBQ, we had fun.
I have applied for jobs at 4 places. I went for one interview on Monday. It is a part time job that would be perfect because of the hours, 8:30 to 2:30.
So that is how our new year is going so far. Mandy
Does that explain it well enough
