Okay guys, here's my news. After 21 years of working part-time DH and I finally decided it was time for me to go back to working full-time. We really need the money, I've been working at least 40 hours between two jobs for about six months anway and it has worked with the boys so we just decided it was time. Where I work you have to request to go full-time and wait. And it usually takes 3-6 months for them to do anything about it. Well, I asked back on the 10th of November which was a Friday. When I walked in on Monday, the 13th, the manager had all my paperwork ready. He said he had been waiting long enough for me to go full-time and he wasn't going to take a chance of me changing my mind! Then, the day after Thanksgiving I found out that he didn't just put me in for full-time he put me in for a promotion as well. I am now a full-time Customer Service Manager and I'm really happy about it!

Hello everyone....seems so long since i have stopped by. I need to stop by more often. Seems like i just cant find the time anymore. just wanted to update you on what is going on here. Well LM is getting BIG he is now 10 months old and SPOILED!! I could not tell you when he saw his mom last! He has a visit today with his dad. I need to be getting things ready for that but i am dreading it. I will have to meet his dad and grandma today. I have seen the dad before but never formally introduced. Ok...that is all i have no LM now...BUT i have some other news.

I got a call from Dept of Children services yesterday in another county and it was the lady over adoption. They are putting my name in the selection pool for the possible adoption of a child. The child is a 6 month old baby girl. We will find out something by the 13th! I am not in anyway getting my hopes up but i sure am praying! Well i guess i need to get up from here and go get LMs stuff together! Hope to come back later and not stay away for soooo long!!

HI Kathy, Kelli, Kelly, Kim, Pam, Tracy, Kayla, Liz and Lyn
Hope i did not forget anyone. If i did...HEY TO ALL!!

Hi everyone....miss you all and I am reading back now ( I have a lot to read )

I hope, hope, HOPE things work out well Steph...for you, the little girl and LM.....

And now part three of the good news. I saved the best for last. (Kelli - this is the news you were thinking of!)

You may, or may not, have noticed that I haven't posted a lot since early November except to say hi! I have been too stressed. The elections on November 7th had a big impact on our family. The sheriff (who DH worked for) was not re-elected. It was an unbelievably close finish, only 98 votes seperated the winner and the loser. So then we had to wait for all the provisional ballots to be counted and certified and that took until the 17th. Then a recount was requested and we didn't get the results of that until 5:00 the night before Thanksgiving! No one ever thought our then-sheriff would lose but he did! Which means that everyone had to reapply for their jobs. Because of all the delays it's been super stressful because the new sheriff could not interview anyone or even take applications until the whole voting process was over.

Announcements were made at 5:00 p.m Friday night as to who was being kept on and who wasn't and DH STILL HAS A JOB!

The new sheriff, however, is doing some restructuring. Instead of having a major as second in command he is going to have four captains that will each have their own section and then together those four will share the rank of second in command. There is a Patrol Captain, an Investigations Captain, an Administration Captain and a Captain of Narcotics and Special Investigations. DH has been promoted to Captain of Narcotics and Special Investigations! He will be sworn in at 9 this morning! (The new sheriff has to swear everyone in.) He is soooooo excited about this! He's waited a long time to move up like this. And he is thrilled with the other three captains. They've all known each other for many years, they all respect each other and they all get along great together.

So now you have all my good news and you can see why I was really hoping someone would be here!

so happy that everything turned out ok.

Thanks for sharing your GOOD news!!!
