Wow, I'm honored to have won Journal of the Week this week!  Wow!

i don't even know how it happened, but I really appreciate it and I appreciate all of you.

Thank you all for stopping by to visit me and keeping me SANE!

I want to apologize for the last few entries, someone made a comment about my language and I really want to apologize if I've offended anyone.  I come here to vent and lately, that's the way I've been feeling.  A few bad words may slip out while I'm trying to get my thoughts together, but that's just the way I am.  That's me and it's real and this is the only place where I feel like I can not worry about whether or not my "filter" is going to be working that day. 

But again -I thank you all so much for your congratulations and your comments.

Alright, so Thanksgiving is coming up and you know what happens around the holidays with us.  We have to schedule visiting hours for Josh and his family, Jason's family's side and my family.  It always gets pretty hectic.  The only GREAT part is that I have a few more days off to look forward to!  Unfortunately some of them  may be spent going to the doctors or the dentist or even to Jury Duty.  But I still got some days off coming to me!

This job will no longer steal my energy.  I've been leaving on time and spending more time with the family.  I'm excited about my new leaves!  I've been cleaning and getting things in order.  I have more time outside of work to start to entertain in the house!  I can't be more excited! 

Okay, I gotta go for now, but I wanted to stop by for a sec.  Karl and Jason are out getting haircuts, so I have to do dinner for the girls.  I'll talk to you soon!

Congratulations on the JOTW award, sweetie; you've definitely earned it, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm glad to see you're not giving your blood to your job anymore, Kris; you know I've worried about you and your health because of that, and I'm sure your family has been stressed over it, too. Stick to your guns, my friend!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, sweetness. May your life continue to be blessed...
