Totally understand. It's like my job, I'm with my boss more than I am with Jay, he's with his boys more than me. I let the little green monster get ahold of me too. Jay does get to come home after work and he's 7/7, so he's here dirty'n up the house while I'm at work. I swear, these men that can't take their boots/shoes/sandals off when they come in the door. I've constantly have a broom in my hand. I don't wear shoes in the house and it drives me nuts to walk on sandy/grassy floors lol. Anyhoo, he's at work tonight and tomorrow night and then he's home for his 7 off. I've been strongly thinking of talking to my boss about going to a 4 day work week. He offered when all this medical started up a couple of months ago, so I may take him up on it. The only thing is, I like to have my own money to blow. If I feel like spending money on the grandkids, I dont' have to explain where it went so.... will think it over. You have a great evening and let's both thank God our men are working...

i hear you about the pooped thing,had to bring my little boy to school yesterday for testing for kindergarden , then had to go to another town to grocery shop, then had to go to another town to bring the dog to get its shots. well i was gonna bring the dog to the town where i went gro, shopping but they wanted 75 dollars for the shots, so i called the vet where i used to live and they wanted 23 dollars for shots .guess who won lol . they want you to take care of your pets they need to try to make it where evey one can afford it. i think scotts rig is suspost to be moving like 45 min. from the house that would be really nice. well i haveto play catch up on some house work. drug the roads to much yesterday lol . ttyl :}

been lookin for us a dog for a while now. my little boy is 5 scott siad a little boy should not grow up without a dog to watch over him. i agree so when he left for work this time i really started looking . seen some want ads called but they were all males left . males tend to run off, lol , called a number out of the phone book and left a message of what i was looking for. figured they werent gonna call me back. then i get a phone call the lady tells me that she found a stray. some one dropped off, she owns a dog grooming place. she told me that she was kinda skinny, that she would give her to me for free , i asked her if she was pure blood she said yes. got me a cholate lab a female of course lol, , shes 3 months old ,brought here to get her first set of shots today, her name is snickers, the kids named her. she is great tho, its been raining here to. not bad weather like by your house .well yall take care and hope i didnt talk your ear off ttyl .. :}

Hey Kim, thanks for your concern. Back to work and I'm settling down some. Still waiting on alot of test results. Dr. has me on anxiety and high cholesterol meds... Getting old really sucks.... Never thought I would say 'getting old' lol. I've also been wanting to get a new (er) car, but this economy scares the heck out of me. We went thru the 80's boom and bust, lost everything except the Harley and now that has been parked for years. Jay (at 41) had to have cataracts taken off both eyes and bless his heart, he's still leary of getting back in the saddle, and truthfully so am I. I haven't posted on the main page (since so many dont' have a job and didn't want to rub it in) but Jbird finally got promoted to tool pusher. I'm so proud. Been pushing him since the 80's to move up and he finally did. Of course, now we are waiting for his rig to come out of the yard (being refurbished) in Marshall, but am still hopeful it will be soon. Of course, he gets a raise, company truck etc., so I can drive his truck if need be. My car was totalled last year from hail storm, they paid if off, so I just cruise around in a golfball lol. I'm so proud for ya'll, all it takes it a little faith cause it will and can go a long ways. If ya'll need anything, don't hesitate to ask, that's what it's all about. Oh and your kitty is precious. I'm a cat person. My big Bob is 14, manx and 21 pounds. He looks like Garfield with no tail. He has his own pillow next to mine and we sleep side by side. He's not doing real well. Was diagnosed a diabetic a couple of yrs ago cause he's so fat, and I was having to give him shots once a day until one day, he just wouldn't have anymore of it and i quit. He hasn't had a shot in about 6 months, but I can tell his kidneys are getting bad and he's got cataracts now. Both are diabetes related. Well, better get something done around here. Have a good one dear!

I meant to put the cat's picture in the photo album but it ended up in my profile pic instead, oh well guess that's ok.

We live in Magnolia, Texas. It's kind of a big small town, I guess you could say. We love it here because its not too far from Houston if we want to go do something fun, but it's also got a country feel to it.

Your cakes are so pretty! I started getting into making cakes for my daughter's birthdays and I said, I am never going to buy them a birthday cake, it means more when you make one.

Your amazing, I love to cook, but I'm not a baker. Isnt' it a shame that with the economy the way it is, you would think people would be watching their money for bills and food, but they go out and buy drugs. Jbird worked on 3 different rigs on his days off 2 weeks ago. One got busted for drugs, the other is a friend that needed a day off to go get his marriage license and then of course his rig. Just so very very proud Mike is going back to work. I love dispatching. I accept loads from Sysco, Cargill, Schreiber and various brokers, enter into system, schedule p/u and del appts and then dispatch the drivers. It gets to you by about Thursday each week. We've had our drivers for years and they are spoilt and if I give them their load info and they don't want it, they come up with my truck needs work, I don't feel good etc. They are just a bunch of big ol' babys lol. We haul food, deliver to Walmarts, Albertson's, Krogers, HEB's, etc. We go everywhere except Florida, the Northeast and try to stay out of the upper Midwest but have gone there is needed. It's interesting to say the least. Well, nearly time for me to go home yippee, chat later, have a good evening!
