Three months gone....but where...

I can't believe that 3 months have gone by since I've posted anything. It's been crazy, busy, stressed and overwhelming three months. I am still at my job at PWC. I am still enjoying it very much. I have 2 more months for my probationary period to be over. I am now lead work order clerk. My co-worker got a promotion to a new position and for the last month I have been doing the job myself. I am trying to stay on top of things and think I have been doing a good job at it. The finally hired someone to fill the position but it will be another couple of weeks before she finally arrives.

March was a crazy month. My son J. drove to upstate NY to see his dad. Yes, my nerves were shot the whole time he was driving. He made it safe and sound and his truck broke down the second day he was there and he was without a vehicle. That was the only reason he wanted to drive. It got fixed the day before he left. So for the whole week he had to bum rides. Poor kid...

My daughter S. decided on a whim to move to NC. They arrived the beginning of the month and dropped off the extra vehicle and the dog and went back to KY to pack up the apartment and came back a week later. They are living in my bonus room over my garage. There is a daybed and a couch, a big screen TV and the computer up there. Also they have a little frig and a microwave. Not bad rent free....

My son N. left the end of the month on a plane (his first time alone)to see his dad in NY. On the trip there he had not one but two layovers. Yes, again my nerves...
He made it there ok and even made it home ok.

My husband S. was also gone for two weeks that month. So it was to say the least a very busy, crazy, stressed and overwhelming month.

April was a busy month trying to find a job for my daughter's boyfriend and trying to find a house for them. We were looking for something cheep to buy and looked at about 20 homes. Every weekend we were checking out homes. On April 17 my daughter went to the doctor and found out that she was 3 cm dilated. She isn't due until May 16 so this is early. On April 22 my son J. truck was hit in the parking lot at school His bumper was damaged.

May....On May 3rd I had a baby shower to go to at the Museum. Didn't stay long since S. was having contractions on and off now. The did meet us at the Harley open house for a while and then we all left. Hubby and I decided to go for a short ride since it was so nice out and the kids went home. While I was stopped at a red light my cell phone rings and it was my son J. Some guy ran a stop sign and smashed the whole front end of his truck. Now it's not drivable and had to be towed away. On May 5, 2008 my daughter S. was having contraction more and more and at 4:30 decided to finally go to the hospital. She had a baby girl, GRAYCEE JORDIN, 7 lbs 2 oz, 20 1/2 inches long, born at 10:02 pm. Yes, I was there to witness the birth of my first grandchild. On the 23rd I flew to Nashville, Tn to meet my husband for a weekend get away and boy did I need to get away. It was a very nice and relaxing weekend. On the 30th my son broke my daughter's boyfriend's truck...now we are two vehicles short.

Now it the beginning of June...my son's truck is totalled and we are still waiting for the check to arrive from the insurance company. My daughters' boyfriend's truck is fixed and on June 3 my daughter and her boyfriend decided to move back to KY. He still has not gotten a job, the house that we were going to buy fell through (thank goodness) and he is not happy here. My son J. also wants to move out but that decision isn't final yet and I am exhausted. I am however still working out 2 hours at night which has help me in so many ways. And through all of this my son N. has hung in there like a trooper.

Hopefully it won't be another three months before I get on again.
