Noah's Daddy

Still nothing on the sex offender database. I am hoping he went back to jail. He could have gone out of state or had his parole ended. Part of me doesn't want to know.

Work

I am busier than a one armed paper hanger with the seven year itch. It is tough being the "Golden Child" everyone wants you but you only have so much time. I tell them to put a little extra in the check.

We'll see.

My Joey

He doesn't like to be called that anymore. I called him that because when I was pregnant with him he kicked like a baby kangaroo. Now, everyone else calls him Chris. He called me again last night. He is the Marine. He is doing okay with the divorce. He is like me a survivor. I am so proud of him.

My oldest Son

He is currently in Korea. He is getting out of the Army for being overweight. I am not happy about this but am not saying a word. I can't believe he is letting this happen.

Divorce

My son ( the Marine) and his wife are divorcing. I am not surprised. I saw it coming. I hurt for him though.

Work is Hectic

I am kinda overwhelmed. I love my job. I just don't love doing other people's jobs. I am doing an Easter Egg Hunt for the office. I love doing them. I loved going to them as a kid. I am excited.

My Marine Son and other good news!

My son surprised me on Tuesday evening. He just walked into the house. I wasn't even 100% sure he was back from Iraq. He looks terrific. His wife is finishing her degree in Marine Biology and has a job that has already started and it is paying $75K a year plus car and house allowance. He isn't going back to Iraq in 3 months like he thought. He is going to Japan for 2 years instead. This is a picture of my middle and youngest son.

A Son's a Son til he takes a Wife

My son is supposed to be back from Iraq. I haven't heard from him. I think he is back but dealing with wife issues. If it had been a daughter in Iraq, she would have come to see me by now.

The Layoff Saga Continues Day 46

The coworker from hell is finally gone. They left me one total mess to fix. I am convinced they deliberately messed things up. I am stressed but doing okay. I am in a manic phase so I can work for long periods and not let up. It will be okay.

Harry Potter

I really like the Harry Potter stories.

Having said that, I want to clarify that I am not a total nutcase. Some of the people on the fansites must not have a life at all. The stories are very good both JK Rowlings and some of the fanfiction. Some of those people are just plain banana's. Makes me feel really well adjusted and sane.

Dana Reeve

It made me very sad that she died. Her family has had more than their share to deal with this year. They are in my prayers.

The Bonus, Spring Break and Scatter Shooting

The Bonus was average. I deserved more but am not really complaining. I am glad to get what I did.

The dental work for my son was $1k less than expected so I actually have a windfall. My son is on Spring Break so I took the week off. That means I worked from home all day yesterday.

He has another UTI. Still no idea why he is getting these.

I got a pedicure today. The chairs with the massager things for those alone are worth the price of a pedicure.

TMI update again

Well, I checked with the Sex Offender registry and they said I had to check with his parole officer. I guess now I need to figure out who his parole officer is.

Pool woes

My pool valve was leaking so I took it off. Then it froze outside. Now I need to replace my skimmer chamber. I hope that is all.

Noah has a dental appointment next week. It will be pricey. There goes my bonus.
