Home sick today....

Saturday went well. We got our new laptops and Ernie is enjoying his very much. I use the computer much more than he does but I think now that he's got a laptop he will be on it quite a bit more.

I woke up Sunday morning sick with fever and vomiting as well as a couple of other things. Sarah and I slept off and on until about noon. We didn't go to church because not only was I sick but she was too. Megan slept until 10.

I took the girls home yesterday and then i came home and passed out in my recliner. Ernie woke me up about 4:30 and asked me if I wanted to come lay down with him so I did. I slept until about 1:15 and then after he left I slept until about 5:20 then I had to get out of the bed... I came to the living room and slept in my chair until about 8:30 when Ernie called me. I'm still sick and I can't hold much down but i'm finally awake. for some reason i couldn't get woke up this morning. i am still sitting in my chair i am just slowly munching on crackers hoping my stomach can evnetually hold something. i will probably have to go to the emergency room to get something to take to work showing that i am really sick and not just skipping out.

well any way i need to close my eyes now i'm really getting dizzy.

pray for me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!

Today I had a fairly good day at work. I did well on the job and I am working on getting better at it.
Today 21st is my grandpa's 70th birthday! We are celebrating Saturday at our church with a big party and inviting all his friends and family! It will be quite fun.


Our home studay is almost done. All that is left is us getting our dog & cats rabies shots, our physicalls, getting some paperwork together and we are good to go. I have to make copies of our DL's and SSC's but that won't take much.


well that's was a quick update.....gotta go to bed!

CHAOS!

So I go to work today and I talked Ernie on my break like always. I noticed that he had called but was unable to take the time to check my messages. Then about 5 minutes later one of our managers comes to me and says 'as soon as you get off that call you need to call your husband, he called and said there was an emergency'. I was kind of worried so as soon as i finished what i was doing i went to the break room and called him.

Our neighbors had driven through our yard (for the hundredth time) and busted our water meter!
He couldn't find our Property managers phone number so I had to tell him where to find it.
Well about one hour later on my lunch break I called to check on things and the police, our property managers and the plumbers were all here.

It was crazy. The neighbors admitted to driving through our yard and the property manager said she was pressing charges. You see here in Bartlesville aparently there is some sort of ordinance about not parking in your yard. you are not supposed to park on grass at all anywhere in the city!

I am still working on investigating that one. I have not yet found it but I am determined to find out why I can't park in my OWN yard! that is just CRAZY!

Well before wednesday gets here i have to get some paper work copied and get my dog and cats their shots or at least get an appointment. I am going to see about taking them to somewhere cheap... i've got several phone calls to make in the morning.

I am still trying to help plan my grandfathers 70th birthday party which is Saturday and i work all week...

I also have to call my property manager about a bigger house she offered my husband today.

well i better get off here and try to get a few things done before bed.

God Bless and Good night

Laptop

I have decided to buy Ernie a Laptop for his birthday. We have a friend who let us one for a couple of weeks so we could decide weither or not we really wanted to spend the money on one.
We just picked it up today and already Ernie has decided that he really needs one. I am using it currently and I am really starting like it.

I am having a hard time adjusting to the key board but it is not bad at all. Infact I'm think i'm starting to rather like it a lot. It is not real big and my hands are small so the key board fits it rather well. We are going to take it to my grandparents so they can try it out because they are looking to get a computer. I want to give them the chance to see if a laptop is the way to go or if we need to get them a compact desk top.

The second part of the home study interview went well and we have a couple of things we need to get but it is going smoothly. She is coming back on Wednesday and we are trying to stay on top of things so we don't have to rush around to keep things clean.

Well i'm going to go hang out with my hubby for a while....
Take care!

Interview #1....

Last Wednesday we had our first Home-Study interview. It went very well and I was quite relieved. I was supposed to meet with her again to do my individual interview yesterday but not only was I sick but she had a sick child at home, so I guess that worked out.

I came home from work yesterday and went to bed. I am feeling much better this morning and my husband is planning something for valentines day that I was informed to expect the unexpected. hmmmm. A statement like that could really make a girl think!

Ernie has never really done much for me when it comes to valentine's day. A card was all I really got. last year I got a little porcelin bear holding a rose and a giant card. A very sweet and thoughtful gift.

He is not a real romantic man but he has something planned for me this year and is not telling me so I like that.
He asked if I would make sure the dinning room table is de-cluttered... so i'm thinking he's going to cook me dinner. That would be a treat because he is a great cook and NEVER cooks for me!

Well anyway I have got to get ready for work I have a lot to catch up on today, since I came home early.

Take care and God Bless!

Long Week...

As you can see by the title it has been a long week for me. I know that it is only Tuesday but none the less it has already been a long one. This week is my last week of "class room" training at work and we go out on the floor of the call center as of 4:30 tomorrow afternoon! yippy!

Also, first thing in the morning we have our first half of our HOME STUDY interview! We are both excited and anxious! I am ready to get it done and over with so we can get matched to our children and get on with our lives. I am ready to have kids here. I am ready to be a mom.

I know we have Holly but sometimes it feels like I was just more of a guide to her than a mom. I guess because she came to us at 16.

well I have several things yet to do so i better get off of the pc.

God Bless! keep us in your prayers!
