Being Sick Sucks....

Wish my head would just explode and get it over with.

Need to stay away from my Bird and Turtle so have to get my fix from videos and pictures...




Aren't they just the most beautiful kids...

Love my Bird and Turtle

Thanks to my Neighbor Family for getting me through my recent worries about work...

With a family like this I can make it through anything...









Thanks Neighbors!

Whew!

Glad those weeks are over and I still have a job. For a few weeks I have been stressing over what if they get rid of me. There was nothing I could do to I just had to wait it out like everyone else. If it happened it happened and I would deal with it. At least my truck and house are paid off so I would be kind of in OK shape. But thank God, I didn’t lose my job. One of my best friends did end up getting it. I don’t know how they did the picking and choosing all I know is that it didn’t make sense to me. I have worked there for 20 years, seen many people come and go, but these last couple years I have seen many years of experience pushed out the door. I had two best friends at work that have been with me through all my ups and downs and one of them got pushed out after 20 plus years of service. It so sucks that she lost her job. She is a great person and I know she will be fine, but I still feel somewhat guilty that I still have my job.

So now I can breathe easier at least for a little while. Now I need to do some catching up. I have been so stressed and out of it here lately that I haven’t been doing much blogging and other things. I have missed a few birthdays so I have to get some cards out in the mail. Haven’t been reading much either. I bought those books at Christmas and haven’t even got through one yet. So what the hell have I been doing?

My day consisted of getting to work at 6:30 in the morning. Struggling all day on my programming project, then leaving there at 3:30, 4:00 or even 4:30 at times. Then I would head home, get out of my uniform and head to see Bird and Turtle. Those two are able to make me forget about my work or the threat of losing my job. I would stay there until around 10 or later then go home and try to sleep. Then start it all over again at 5:30 the next morning.

The best medicine in the world is kids and my Bird and my Turtle have made me smile so much during these last few weeks. These two make my heart smile every time I see them. Bird is so smart and determined; she doesn’t let her CP slow her down. When you get a bear hug and kiss from Bird it sticks with you and makes you feel so…I can’t describe it so unless you are lucky enough to get a Bird bear hug and kiss well I’ll just have to leave the rest of you wondering. Turtle is walking now and she is a Morgan in every form. From her temper, to her goofy faces and laughing and then there is her laying her head on my shoulder and patting my arm or just her falling asleep in my arms while we are swaying and listening to Sugarland’s Love on the Inside. Hi my name is Red and I am addicted to Bird and Turtle.

I have to give a few more shout outs. Scrappy and Loser, along with me getting my Bird and Turtle fix I get a dose of Loser and Scrappy too. Don’t know what I would do without my NEIGHBOR family. A while back I wrote a blog and talked about the pictures that Keith and Diane got for Christmas. Well Scrappy and Loser gave me one yesterday happy early birthday. It was my favorite picture of my Dad and Mom. And all I can say is that I LOVE IT! It looks so lifelike, makes my heart smile. I got a canvas painting of my two favorite people from my other four favorite people. Love it Love it Love it and Love you Love you Love you and Love you!!!!!!!

Now want to talk about my extended family. A couple weeks ago my buddy Bill had a heart attack. He underwent bypass surgery on Thursday. Talked to Brandy last night and he is doing great. The Rainey’s have always been very special to me, like I said they are my extended family, so it was really scary when Brandy called me with the news. Kept them all in my prayers and thank God, Bill came through the surgery and is now on the road to recovery.

Went last night to see Jimmy G in his play and it was spectacular. He was awesome. It was a comedy and he is so talented and funny. I am so proud of him. That sexy Boy Scout is going to be famous one of these days. That play would have had my Mom laughing her ass off, just like we all were. She loved watching Jimmy in his shows. I can still see her laughing at him arguing with his dummy. I can’t wait for the day when he is famous and I can tell people that I kept him in the spot light way back when. LOL Right Belle!

Guess I am caught up now, probably left out some things but oh well these were the important things. Well Happy Valentines to you all. This 41 year old has got to get rested up cause OMG, I will be 42 tomorrow. WTF, where has the time gone.

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease
