Summer Fun

I'm trying to figure out how to make it worth our while to go out and do the free bowling thing. I want to do it AT LEAST once a week. I mean, right now we can't because SOME BODY SMACKED ME FROM THE LEFT AND HASN'T SAID THEIR SORRY OR PAID FOR MY CAR yet. (no, I'm not bitter)

But, I was thinking about it, and thought we could take a picnic (kids love picnics) and then go eat at Lettuce Lake Park. It's right down the road, and the kids havn't been there in a while. I mean, where else can we get pictures of gators behind the kids? I mean, short of the zoo or the Everglades.

ahhh, yes...summer fun. I can('t) wait.

they gave it to the cook?

Ok, so they handed out these little envelopes that had cute little generic notes inside them

Dear _________________________

Thank you for your interest in the Central Supply position.

We have hired an applicant who most closely fits the criteria necessary for the functioning of the department.

Thank-you again.

Sincerly,

Ok, so what, I'm not even worth a REAL letter? One that they could've typed out, rather than just write my name in?

oh yeah, they gave the position to the night cook. I'm like HUH?

They also hired 3 new people for day shift who did orientation TODAY, and there was a new girl on days when I got there....HELLO?????? I put in to go to days SIX MONTHS AGO!!!!!


GRRRRR, whatever...time to find a new job.

I think I killed the van

Ok, it wasn't actually me. I was coming home from work Thursday night, and when I tried to cross SR-60, a car ran the red light. Smacked me on the drivers side, but only tore the front of the car off. The airbag deployed, and I got a red mark on my wrist. It may have got me in the face, but I don't have any bruises. Under my right eye was tender for a day or so, but I can't say for sure if I caught it in the face, since I don't remember anything but "OH CRAP-SMACK" I did manage to steer away from the on coming car, which is probably why I'm able to sit here and wonder why I'm typing because it hurts my forearms. Actually I want to get it all down before I forget. Although I really don't think I'm going to forget any time soon, because I'm having reoccuring nightmares of the accident. :( something I've never had before.

Anywho...So, I was attempting to go thru the green light,(not just a green light, but a WAY green light, I wasn't the first person in line to cross thru the light :-O) and got smacked. Air bag popped out, and it stunk to high heaven. Smelled like someone decided the van was a shooting range. I rolled down the windows and turned off the car. (I laughed to myself that the radio doesn't work in the mornings, but smack it around and it works...bewildering LOL)

So, as I'm rolling down the windows, a face I know comes up to the passenger side and asks if I'm ok-it's a girl from work YEAH, then on the other side comes an other co-worker. It was such a relief to have someone I KNOW be there. I lost it. The nurse (2nd co-worker) tried to call 911, but ended up calling Bill. She asked Bill if he was 911 and when he said no, she hung up. I called him back to let him know I was alright, but I couldn't finish talking, and the nurse took over and asked Bill to call 911, and he did. (my hero) A police cruiser pushed the van out of the road, and did the normal, take down of information. Paramedics showed up, and at that moment I didn't think I was hurt-I was more worried about how I was going to get home, get my paycheck the next day and groceries in the house. I wondered how I was going to get to work. The lady police officer told me to get my butt back in the van so I wouldn't get pneumonia-oh yeah did I meantion we were on like, day 4 of a constant rain? I was too busy freaking out to realize I was in the rain.

When Bill showed up, I lost it again. I was SOOOO happy he was there. He drove Rogers truck to come get me. He brought Jimmy so he could tell us the verdict on the van. I still wonder what the van looks like in the daylight. If I get a chance, I'll take a picture of it. I think it's totalled, but now days they can bend a frame back. I'm worried though. I don't want a car payment. Then again, we need a car. ho hum...screwed is the word that comes to mind.

So, I went to a new chiropractor Friday. (I'm not going to sit at home and mess around with this) She adjusted me, and I got some therapy. I went back Saturday, and got adjusted and a massage. I like this place better. They are very relaxed, and I'm thinking of asking about their vitamin injections-cause I don't do pills.

So, this morning I woke up feeling much better. Granted my back still feels HORRID, but at least I can walk with out help. Right now I have an ice pack on it. I'll probably have to get one for my left arm when I'm done with this entry.

I was able to take a shower last night-with Bill's help :D (Did I mention he's my hero) Zsusanna brushed my hair and braided it for me so I could go to bed. I still can't put on my own seat belt. :( But with a kid in the back seat, I'm good. I'm going back to work Tuesday. I'm going to ask the girls at work for LOADS of help. Hopefully all the help I've spread around there will come back. I am more than willing to help anyone, hopefully these girls will be more than willing to help me out. I can't afford to lose any more work. I've already lost 2 days-which is about $150. For a family that lives paycheck to paycheck?...that is A LOT. That right there is groceries for 2 weeks.

Work

Got a call from work this morning. The DON wants me to come in tomorrow and talk to her about the Central Supply Position. I'm hoping it's a job offer, and not just an interview. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. The whole money thing kinda scares me. I have to deal with vendors and such. I mean, I ordered inventory and closed the books when I worked at Marco's. Same concepts, different product. Instead of ordering cheese and meat, I'll be ordering breifs and gloves. Right now I know that we are short of items. We've been with out a central supply person for going on 2 weeks now. I'm afraid to see what kind of mess it is in there, because a lot of people have been in there getting things they need.

I'm trying not to count my chickens, but it's hard, cause I'm SOOOOO excited. This would be a GREAT thing for our family.

Speaking of family-here's a picture of the girls. I know, you think you've already seen it, but this is the siggy I use for the forums I go to. Just added a personal touch. LOL

A/C

it broke.

We are day 4 of no air conditioner.




We tried to fix it, but it worked for a whopping 5 hours after being "fixed".
I asked Rosalee if she would let us use her window unit until she can come get it. She said yes! I told her how thankful I was and even blurted out "I LOVE YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!" She laughed.

It may only be for a few weeks, but it'll hopefully give us enough time to be able to buy our own. This having the a/c break right before we move REALLY sucks because we JUST told the landlady we're moving-then the next day the a/c unit dies. I have not told her the swing out front is broken either. /facepalm


ho hum.


Stephanie borrowed 4 Hannah Monatana/Miley Cyrus CD's from her friend. Zsusanna wants some on her mp3 player. She really needs a memory card for it. If she doesn't have the songs in mp3 format, she only gets like, one album on there. I told her that's part of the problem of having one of the first affordable mp3 players.

BROKEN

our a/c is broken....

brightside? our TECO bill will be awesomely low!

The Storage Room

I finally took pictures of the storage room. It's a mess.

I can't wait to get everything in there to where it belongs, and to stop living out of the boxes.

I called Pam, and let her know that we were going to buy the house down the street, and she sounded bummed because we were going to buy a different house. Ho Hum....
