Our weather for this great holiday has been rain, rain, and more rain. It hasn't been a total washout, but it has rained a lot this weekend. There was no big plans on my day today. I worked four hours today in the kitchen. Then I went shopping and bought me a new pair of jeans and the boys some flip flops.

After I got home Christy called me from her work and asked me if I could go get her dad because he was broke down and of course I did. I know one thing the ride with him today confirmed that I would never go back to him. He is such an asshole. He doesn't treat anyone with respect and thinks that everyone should bow down to him and do things when he wants then done. I did not let him get the best of me today because I was ready with his smart remarks and I would throw one back at him when I thought it was worth it. He needs to learn how to treat a lady because he thinks that his wife should be at his beck and call. I told him that it sounded like me that he wanted someone that he could just lock up and be there when he wanted them. I am just so thankful that I am not in that situtation anymore. Other than his uncalled for remarks at time he was pleasant(as pleasant as he can be) most of the time.

Dennis, I know that tomorrow could be a hard day but it will be okay. Hold your head up high and carry one. You have friends that care for you and things will be fine. Just think you can look at other women and not get into trouble. HA! HA! HA!

I have just aboout over worked myself. By the end of the week I will have workedtwenty days in a row without a day off. It is about time to take a day off and head to the beach. You wanna go. It would be fun if this rain will ever stop.

The boys and I went bowling Saturday before I went to work and I bowled a 152 game. I was ticked about that score because I ususally don't break a 100. We had fun.

My aunt told me that she had an extra ball for me it I wanted it but I would have to have the holes redrilled but that would be no problem because one of the guys that comes to the bowling alley has a shop. The next time they come back into town I am going to head over there and pick it up. She said that it is a twelve pound ball. I sure hope I can pick it up.

I have to apolgize for not updating sooner but I have been busy with work. I will try to do better.

Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your work. Don't work to hard. Love from this southern gal.

I guess it is time for me to update this thing from the deep south. We have had some cool weather come in this week. It has been pants weather. We went from wearing shorts in 90 degree weather to the upper sixties this week. What a change. It is getting warmer as the week comes to an end. Tomorrow we are going to be in the eighties. We have also had some good wind blowing in and who knows where that has come from but we will take cool weather anytime we can get in down here.

I went to the eye doctor about having my lids done. They did a test on them this morning and when I first went in she told me the first test I wanted to fail so of course I did. Then the did a second test with my eyelids pulled up and I did better. I go next Wednesday to see the eye doctor and then we will decide when or if I need to have the surgery. I have seen more doctor the last several months than I have almost in my life time.

Tomorrow is another day at work and then to the bowling alley. Thursdays are usually slow so I end up doing some cleaning and stocking things up. My Fridays and Saturdays are my busy days. Friday is worse than Saturday because I work all day and then I work until midnight on Friday.

My shoes that they put the wedges in and the inserts haven't done much about the pain on my heel as yet but it is still early. I hope that in the next couple of weeks I will start to tell a difference because I want to get back into my walking and I can't do it as long as my heel is killing me. I am going to give it about three weeks and then if nothing happens I may get in touch with the doctor again.

I have three months before I arrive in Lebabon. I am starting to get excited about it and it will be so glad to get away from work and to be able to enjoy some down time.

Well this southern gal is going to call it a night so ya'll have a great evening and don't work to hard the rest of the week.

Good evening for the deep south. I had a late night at the bowling alley last night. I got home around 12:30 and it was after one before I got to sleep. We stayed fairly busy last night which helped the time pass.

I got up this morning and got ready for church. I then headed to McDonald's for my breakfast and some reading time before heading to church. I have been doing this for several months on Sunday. It is my treat to myself.

After church I decided to go out to eat again by myself. I had great company, myself. I went to a steak house called Logan's. It is very southern. You have roasted peanuts on the tables and the shells go on the floor. I have eaten at one before with Michael. I had a three dollar coupon off a ten dollar meal so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a steak, baked tator, and a salad. It was a good meal.

I then called my boss at the bowling alley because the had a tounament going on this afternoon and the boy that was suppose to be there had not gotten ther by 1:15 and Bill told me to go ahead and come in. So I worked for about three hours and I ended up with about six dollars in tips and we don't serve beer on Sundays. The boy finally showed up at three and he said that he thought he was suppose to be there at three. Bill sent him home and told him that he already had it covered for the afternoon.

The rain is still going on. I am ready for it to stop for awhile. It has rained for the last three days. It looks like we may be at the end of it. The weather is suppose to get a little cooler and it was a little cooler this evening. Our weather has been in the ninties and they say we are going to be in the seventies for a few days, what a welcoming change. To bad it isn't the middle of July.

Sometimes I would like to strangle my nephew. He doesn't know how to keep his hands off things that don't belong to him. You would think at seventeen that you would know better. I went into the bathroom and he had taken my shaving cream out of the cabinet and was playing with it and of course when I asked him if he did it he lied to me. I know that he messed with it because it had cream everywhere abd it wasn't where I usually keep it. He will do that with shampoo and other things to. He gets into the tub and plays with it. My grandchildren even know better. He is going back to live with his mother in the summer and maybe then I can keep things in the bathroom. Even if I keep them in my room he will come in and get them. I told him to leave my stuff alone that I don't mess with his stuff and i expect the same from him. That is my complaint for the day...I shouldn't have to hide things but with him you do.

Well, it is getting late and this southern gal is going to call it a night. Have a great week and be good.

Hey from southern Alabama. I will be seeing the city of Lebanon in a little over three months or 98 days, which ever sounds sooner. Ha1 HA1 I know they are the same. Just because I live in the south does not mean that I am a dumb blonde. No comments from the peanut gallery either.

It looks like I will be going to work in the rain, which means we probably will not be busy abd that makes for a long evening. Maybe if it does rain it want be for very long.

There isn't much to talk about around here. I got up this morning and cleaned my room and washed a load of clothes. How exciting. I then played around on the computer and chatted with a friend until he had company show up. Then I headed to Wal-mart to pick up a few things and now I am back on the computer chatting with my son or daughter-in-law. I am not sure which one it is.

Well, as I end this I need to say good-bye until later. It is time for me to head out to the bowling alley and have some fun. Have a great one and be good.

This southern chick checking out.

What news can I bring to you from the deep south. It is getting warm here but you probably already figured that out. So unto what is going om with my children. I would fill you in on myself except there isn't nothing exciting happening to me. So to my kids.

Christy turned down the job at Ft Rucker because CVS matched what she will be making and she wasn't going to get any more from the government even though she had more experience. Her dad thinks she made a bad choice but I on the other hand think she made a good choice because they really work with her at CVS and there isn't much that she ask for that she doesn't get. She has a good boss at CVS. But is doesn't matter what we think because it is her and Chad's decision.

Jason and Michelle have decided not to move until the end of June even though they are paying rent on two places. Sometimes young people make no sense. I am glad they ar4 staying a little longer but I just wished they would have thought about wha they did before they did it. But it will work out anyway.

Micheal and Erin are doing fine. I don't talk to them very much unless I call them. Michael has to go to Virginia next week for his work. He will be in Farfax, VA for a week. He never knows where he will be traveling with the job that he has.

Well, I am going to go and hit the bed. Have a great day and be good.

We had a beautiful day today. It was in the 90's with a little wind. They say that we are going to get some more rain which means we will be stuck inside at work and that isn't good at times.

There isn't much going on around here. Jason and his family are gettig ready to relocate to Montgomery. They will be about two hours from me. I am sure going to miss having them close. Especially the grand babies. Christy had her last physical at Ft Rucker this afternoon. She has been offered a job at the pharmacy as a tech. I think she is going to take it and she did find out that it was a government job. She will have great benefits and her pay will increase about five thousand dollars more than she is making right now.

Chad is still trying to get on with Ft Rucker fire department. He hasn't heard anything yet but he did find out that they were still interviewing for the positions. Maybe he will get on too. The only bad thing about him getting on is that he would take a cut in pay for awhile. But sometimes you have to do that to get in a better job. If the both are working a federal job they will have it made.

Well, I am going to get off here and do some reading. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of you that are mothers and if your are not then happy day to you too. My day was spent washing clothes and mopping floors. I haven't seen any on my children today. It wasn't very much fun. It was kind of depressing. I have only heard from one of my children and it wasn't until about two o'clock. It sounds like I am having a pity party. So much for that.

Business at the bowling alley seems to be picking up some. The place had been let go for so long thatit was really run down and the new managment is trying to get things back up but it is a slow process. I stayed pretty busy last night. I got home a little after midnight and it was around one before I was settled down enough that I could relax and get some sleep.

Working there is a lot different than what I do during the day. It is a nice change and there are some strange people out there. I haven't even been able to play pool are bowl a game. I guess I am going to have to go up there on my day off and play.

I got my first paycheck from my part time job and it wasn't to bad to be part time. I was hoping that it would fall on the week that I din't get paid from my full time job but that didn't happen. Oh well, life goes on.

I had a good report at the doctor and so did my mom. We are a couple of tough chicks. I go on the 20th of this monthand seee about having my eyes done. I figured I may as well get it all done this year. I figured at 50 that I can become a new woman. HA! HA!

Our weather here is getting hotter but the humidity still isn't to bad yet but it is coming. It was in the ninties this weekend. Sounds like some good beach weather. I may have to take a day off and head to the beach. Maybe one afternoon and then I can sit there and watch the sunset go down.

Well I am going to go and do some searching on the computer. Have a great day and be sweet.

This is going to be short and sweet just like me. HA! HA! I have to get up extra early tomorrow to head to the doctor. I have to be in Birmingham by ten in the morning, which means I need to leave Dothan at least by six. YUCK!!!

I went yesterday and had my feet fitted for inserts and boy are those things expensive. They are going to cost around $400. The told me that the did not think that my insurance would cover it. So I got on the phone with Kesha (she does our insurance for us at the hospital) and she told me that she would send a letter to the insurance company and let them know that the hospital does not do this typr of work and that they should take care of the inserts. I sure hope so.

I also went to the eye clinic and set up an appointment with the suregon to see about having my eyelids done also. I figured I may as well get it all do this year and then maybe I can rest the next year.

Hey I may look like a new person after getting all this stuff done. If nothing else it will make me fill better.

Well, I better go and get myself into bed, tomorrow is going to be a long day. I will let you know how things go tomorrow aftger I get off work from the bowling alley. Have a great day.

Not much went on today. The day started out with rain and it was here to stay for the day. It finally stopped late this afternoon. The sun tried to come out but there wasn't enough daylight to allow that to happen.

I received a call from Michael this afternoon and he isn't going to get to meet me for lunch on Thursday. He has a class that he has to do for three days and so I guess I will just stop and have lunch by myself. That sometimes gets old but life goes on.

I guess since I want get to have lunch with Michael I may just do a little shopping while I am in Birmingham. It just depends on how I feel at the time. I have to be back in town by seven because I have to go to work.

I get to go get fitted for my inserts tomorrow. Wow, what fun. I sure hope it works because I am tired of my heel hurting me. I am ready to get back into my walking again. Hopefully I will be able to get back on it within a month or so.

Well, I better get off here and get some bills paid. Have a great evening and a wonderful day.

Now that I updated some pictures maybe I can get my blog updated. Not much going on around here other than working and enjoying some nice weatrher. We had a little rain shower this afternoon. It was needed. Tomorrow should be another warm day.

I am enjoying my second job at the bowling alley. It sometime gets slow and then it is boring but for the most part it is fun. You get to meet every kinds of people. We had a small league come in on Saturday. They will be coming for the next few weeks so that will keep us a little busy. We get a lot of people coming in to play pool. There is six pool tables and 24 bowling lanes. We have a few arcade games and of course the area that I work in, the all famous snack bar....

I will be going to Birmingham on Thursday for my six month checkup for the cancer and hopefully I will be able to have lunch with Michael. Then I get to head back to be able to go to work Thursday evening. It is going to be a long day.

I will be able to keep my updates coming since I have got my computer going again. It is great to have it back going again. It keeps me from messing up Alan's. HA! HA!

Well, I had better get off this thing and get myself to bed. Have agreat day and more later.
