Calling all Fireman wives!!!

[Idroveallnight]

Good morning! I am up and getting ready for work! We had my dad and sister over for dinner last night (my mom is out of town). James caught a bif redfish fried so Jim fried some and grilled some. He also fried shrimp and hushpuppies. We had crab cakes and pasta salad, too. It was very yummy!
Emily's squad is in 2nd place, but very close to the first place team. They will perform again today. James' baseball team lost yesterday, but he had an awesome hit!

Have a super day!

I GOT DISMISSED!!!!!​

​

I was so happy!!!!
It was a criminal case, where battery was involved, and I told the judge that my husband is an officer on the FD, an EMT, and a fire inspector, and I can't guarantee that I can keep an open mind for this case. I told him that because Kevin works so closely with the Police, we know many police officers very very well. This is not info they wanted to hear so I was let go!!!

Who knew that being married to a ff would have such great perks!!

Isn't that the truth!!!!!

When I met Kevin at an appointment after I was dismissed, I told him that him being on the FD has it's real advantages He just laughed!!!

It's raining cats and dogs here this morning
I'm so glad I have no where to go today, so I can stay inside and clean

Have a good day today everyone!!!

It's not raining here yet, but it is getting cloudy. This is my day off today. I took donuts (Krispy Kreme) and juice to the girls at work for Administrative Professionals Day! Then I went by my second job for a visit and eneded up giving a shot to a baby who was there! It was a quick $30! If I don't get the job with the VA, they have offered me a fulltime job. It would be more money. I like the people. I would have to be "on call" every 3rd weekend, but they pay extra for carrying the pager and they pay you hourly if you do have to work. I will probably switch to this job if I don't get on with the VA. They are also very flexible with kid stuff - it's owned by a mom and all the nurses have kids! At least I have options!

Well, I have run my errands, cleaned James' dresser drawers and done some laundry - I think I should nap!!

 

[slo]

I got so much cleaning done around here - it was great!!!!
You would never know it if you came into the house though, because it was cleaning that you don't notice. I vaccuumeed everything upstairs, from the floor, to the mattresses, to the furniture, to the curtains, blinds, and screens, just every nook and cranny. It took all day!!!! I'm glad I don't have to do that again until the fall (well, I'll of course vaccuum the floor and furniture, all the time )


Karen - That's great about the other job opportunity!!!! What is it that you mom owns? Is it a clinic? Whatever it is, that's great you can work there full time!!!!


Kathy - How are you feeling???




Well, I must go get ready for my day - I have many appointments again

Have a good day today everyone!!!

 

[Idroveallnight]

Not my mom, just a lady who is a mom so she understands field trips, etc...
It's a home health agency that mostly does injections for babies & lab draws and home phototherapy for babies. It's good to have options!

Hip Hip Hooray - It's FRIDAY !!!!!!!


All my appointments went so well yesterday - it was a great day!!!!!
The day ended with all of us going to Applebees for dinner, because my last appointment was at 5pm, and I just didn't feel like cooking (plus I had some gift cards )


Today Stephanie has a play at school, that Katie and I are going to see. Then I have another appointment at 12:30, which shouldn't take to long at all. Then after Kevin comes home from work, we have to go to Home Depot - so it is another full day



Karen - I went back reread your post, and you did clearly say "a mom", I don't know how I misread that . Oh well, it's so early when I'm reading these posts, I guess I read what I want to read




Well, I gotta run and get Steph up for school She wants to wear her Sunday best for this play today.

Have a good day!!!
Sandy

Happy Friday!

slo - you have been busy! It's so early when I am typing that I went back and reread just to see what I typed!

So what are everyone's plans for the weekend? I work Saturday so Jim will take James to his game. Jim won tix (last night) to the race in Talladega this weekend. It doesn't look like we will be able to go. I hate that - we went one year and had a great time! Emily is walking in Relay for Life tonight with her school.

Have a great day!

I'm up early today because Stephanie and I are going to a DIS Meet today - it will be alot of fun!!!! We are going to a bowling alley where there is alot of things for the kids to do, and since the kids really like each other, they will have lots of fun!!!!


Karen - I'm sorry you can't go to the race If we lived closer, I'm sure Kevin would happily use those tickets for you



Well, I gotta run and get ready to go
Have a good day today everyone!!

 

[Idroveallnight]

Enjoy your meet! That does sound fun!

Emily participated in Relay for Life last night. They walked untiil 4:30 am - which means I got up at 4:30 am to go pick her up! I am very proud of her! James has an early game so I just dropped him off at the park to warm up. I will miss the game since I have to work, but Jim is off this morning so he will go. If I get off work early enough (by 8pm) I am going to board game night at my sister's. I've never been - it just sounded fun!
Well, I am off to eat my cereal and change for work!
Have a great day everyone!

We had so much fun at our bowling DIS Meet yesterday
We have such a fun group of Chicago DISers to get together with!!!!


Today I have a baby shower to go to
This baby shower is very exciting, because the parents had such a hard time becoming pregnant, and have tried so many things to help them. Just when they were about to give up - the mom found out she was pregnant - very exciting!!!!



Karen - Congrats to Emily for doing the Relay for Life - that's great!!! How did James do at his game? How was Board Game night at your sisters? That does sound like a ton of fun!!!!



Well, I gotta run
Have a good day today everyone!!

We had a good time last night at my sister's. It ended up being ma, my sister, a girl who works with my sister and a friend of mine from nursing school who happens to work with my sister. It was fun to just goof off with the girls!
James' team won and he had an awesome sliding on his knees catch! I hate that I missed it! Jim was there - he was quite the proud papa!

Emily & James went with some neighbors to the lake today. Jim is actually home, so we went to Waffle House and then the flea market and did a little work in the front yard. I trimmed my jasmine vine because it grows like it is on crack! I love it when it is in bloom - it smells wonderful. It is right by the front door so you smell it everytime you go through the door. I fertilized my hibiscus plants - they are starting to pop up! Now Jim is cutting and fertilizing the backyard! The weather is beautiful!

Have a great day!
