I have been neglecting this blog for some time. A new post every few months. It's not that I don't have anything to say, maybe I have to much to say and I need to process it all. Let's start with the big news.

September 14th I became a Grandma to Arabella Elizabeth. My stepson and his girlfriend had their baby. She is a tiny little thing but oh so gorgeous. Unfortunately her first two months have not been easy ones. She has been in the hospital for the last two weeks with meningitis. The tests were 'inconclusive' as to whether it was viral or bacterial. I believe she is getting released today! Stepson will be marrying his girlfriend very soon as he is leaving for Iraq for a year. This time as a civilian contractor and the money was just too good to pass up. It will really help them get their life started.

Stepdaughter continues to work and go to college. Her and her boyfriend bought a house together in April. They now have a kitty and a puppy. She continues to amaze me and I love her boyfriend because of the way he treats her.

And then there is Kota. LOL My little funny guy. He is proving to be as much a goofball as his dear mama. We have been known to embarrass Dad by skipping through walmart, arm in arm. So now my co-workers also know what a big goofball I am. (as if they had doubts working with me for 2 years). Kota is in the band at school and picked the flute. He doesn't care that it's a 'girlie' instrument. He picked it because it's easy to carry around. lol

Hubby is still my best friend and soul mate. I am blessed to have him. He puts up with my moods and my goofiness. We are getting into his busy season, for propane service. So I expect to see less and less of him. thumbs down on that one.

I am still at walmart. They finally moved me back to jewelry. But we also have lingerie and shoes. Lingerie includes all the bras, underwear and pajamas. I am really tired of bras and underwear. LOL But I love being back out on the floor. I have to carry a walkie talkie with me now. Because if I am working in shoes, inevitably they will need me in jewelry and vice versa. For the most part I love the customers but there are some who think I should be their personal shopper. sorry I do not have time to pick out the exact brand, style and color of underwear you might need. Same goes for bras. Come on people, it's walmart not Macy's!

Somehow kota talked me into letting him stay home with me today. It's one of my days off and he really misses mom and me time. My schedule can me quite crazy and I work most weekends. They gave me today off along with saturday and sunday! Praise the Gods!

Now I just need my doctor's office to come up with my lab results I took last week. They are testing my throid, sugar and cholesterol. Not too worried about cholesterol. But the sugar part. I have been borderline diabetic and the last year I have not taken very good care of myself. I have so many aches and pains. It seems all I do is work and sleep. Especially on my days off. zero energy. So I just want some answers and a plan of action.

Hope I haven't bored you to tears.
