Time change....

Now that New Moon has hit the theaters I thought I should change the count down clock in anticipation of the next sequel. (not that I'm anxious)

The job.......

My mind seems a bit muddle from all the things I'm learning on the job. You just don't realize how much paperwork there is for labor and delivery, mother and baby, nursery and ped's. It feels like it's slow coming, but with having worked only 4 - 12 hour shifts I guess I'm hanging in there. This is the first job I've had that I felt like I was learning at a snails pace and I'm not used to that, nor do I like it. I have to find a way to step it up.

On a more exciting note......New Moon is only days away.

F@#&ing Stupid.....

Got your attention with that title, didn't I?

Day after day I read and/or hear people use the crudest language and I'm really sick of it. Are we so lacking in our child rearing skills or is our education system so terrible that people can't think of any way to express themselves without throwing in a few "F" words or any of the other crude words they know? Surely people are smart enough to know that using "garbage" words doesn't make them look good, fit in better, appear intelligent, or make them more interesting.

Hollywood feeds this senseless use of unintelligent words. Contrary to what they say it's really not the norm. I've been around drug dealers and users, alcoholics, homeless, rich, poor, bikers, military, even felons, and most don't spout this stuff anything like they portray in the movies. Hollywood has said that they don't set the tone or standards for anyone, but look around when the next big movie comes out and see if the kids aren't mimicking the actors in their dress and their speech.

Come on people. Surely we're better than this. Would you really look your grandmother in the face and say "what the f---?"

Just a decoration...not a way of life

With only three weeks left until the release of New Moon I thought it was time to "decorate" my little corner of the world. For those thinking I'm obsessed....relax, I'm just having a bit of fun.

Thoughts of McKenna...

I've always enjoyed time with my oldest granddaughter McKenna, but lately it's been a whole new experience. She has always been her own person, but it seems like that "person" is starting to really mature and stretch in a variety of different ways. She is no longer a little girl, but fast becoming a young woman and the way she expresses herself can be quite entertaining. I love the changes, but it makes me a little sad to realize that she is just around the corner from her teen years and all the pressures that will entail. I hope she knows that no matter what may happen in her life she can always depend on me. If she can just remember that dancing is fun, trust and respect are essential, singing is more than just a song, and that boys are best as friends she shouldn't have any trouble making it through to adulthood. In the meantime, I hope she knows how proud of her I am and how much she is loved.

Moving along...

Still progressing.....albeit slowly. Anyone speculating about what I'm actually doing? Kind of doubting it, but I'm having fun all the same.

Try something new and see what happens!

What a day....

Hard as you try, some day's it's impossible to not let things get to you. It's tiring trying to carry the load with no help, no one to lean on or anyone to really talk to when it all gets to be too much. To make things worse there's still no job in site and no ideas as to what to do when the options run out.

I spent some time today at the park with a good book hoping that it would pull me out of my funk, but I got home and my mother, with her "I want to rip your head off" voice, accused me of being mean to one of my grandchildren. The worse thing I said to the child was for her and her sister to stop grouching at each other. I didn't even raise my voice when I said it. Gez Louise.....I can't ever win!

Lord willing someone will call tomorrow for an interview and the door will be opened for that much needed job. I also have my special project to try to keep my mind occupied. :-)
