That worked. It looks like they all had a good time.

Well all, alot has gone on since I was last here. I guess moving and getting married are the biggest. I no longer live in Ohio. I now live in North Carolina. We moved about 3 months ago. I just got married a week ago today. For the longest time I didn't have internet access so that was rough. Getting everyone settled, the kids in new schools, finding a house, things have been really crazy. We still don't have all our stuff moved...like I said, crazy!! I still won't be back on the DIS full time yet, but I should be able to pop in more often. I gotta lot of catching up to do. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hi Gina,
Welcome back.
I still wear my shirts with your designs. And I still get comments and compliments on them too.
Best wishes on the marriage. Hope you weren't too frazzled with moving.

Terry

Denise--great photos! BK's costume is beautiful!

I went to our small school dance recital Friday night to watch a friend's daughter. The finale was all songs from High School Musical. I thought of Kate and all of you!

Vicki, you should try and find her live trip report, too. It WAS a magical trip.

Glad you liked them. We had the best time. Unfortunately, I deleted the trip report as I was having a little stalker problem at the time.

Hope you had a good time on your trip. It's amazing how fast a week flies by while you are having fun at the Happiest Place on Earth.

The major thing that I can think of off the top of my head is that Rees is having surgery tomorrow. Can't remember if we found out about this before or after you left.

Also, Pal Mickey's itinerary has changed from what I pm'd you. I haven't had time to send you a revised schedule. I couldn't sleep two nights in a row because I really wanted to have our original PM (Nicky) come home for the trip to Japan. I felt really silly but after two restless nights, I decided that silly or not, Nicky needs to come home for our trip. I'll send you a pm with the new itinerary today. He needs to leave your house by the 10th now.

So no more group home for me. I have worked all of my scheduled shifts and refuse to work anymore. I will leave the phone on like I am supposed to but I will have the volume turned off. As after what happpened yesterday, I was considering walking out and leaving the consumers by themselves and not showing up last night. But I didn't have the audacity to do so but was seriously considering it.

I worked at the one job from 8:30am to 4:30pm on Friday, came home and attempted to sleep. I worked midnight to 8am at the group home. Or that was what I was supposed to work there. I was supposed to be at my other job at 8:30am. That never happened as the person who was supposed to work at the group home never showed up. I ended up having to call my manager so she could work there. I am so glad I have an understanding manager who was able to work as otherwise it could have stunk big time.

I called at 8:05am to get someone to come in and told them I needed to be at my other job at 8:30am. No one called back by 8:15am so I called again, they said that they would call someone to look for someone. No one called by 8:30am so I called back. Finally someone called back and said they were trying to find someone I said I had to be at work at 8:30am and I was now late. I called my manager to tell her that I didn't know that if I would be able to make it to open at 9am as I was still waiting for someone to show up. She told me she would open and that I should just show up at 11:30am like she was originally supposed to. Which I thought was super nice of her.

I called several more times to try and get someone else to look to find someone else to come in. Someone called back and asked how long I can hold out and I said I was supposed to already be at my other job at 8:30am by this time it was already almost 9:30am . They said I should have told someone that and I was like I have told that to every person I have talked to and it hasn't done any good getting anyone to show up yet. By this point I was serioulsy considering just walking out and leaving as the consumers were all sleeping.

About this time my Mom called me and asked where I was and I said I was still sitting at the group home. She was like what do you mean, I thought you were supposed to be at your other job. I said I sure am, but no one showed up here so I had to call my manager so she could work. My Mom told me I should just not show up for my last shift and should call off, but I didn't feel that was fair to the people who would have to find someone to replace me. My Mom finally understood why I handed in my two week notice as she couldn't believe this happened. It was like a went off in her head.

It was almost 11am, by the time someone else showed up and this person came from another home to just sit there. As I said I absolutely had to leave and couldn't stay anymore and I needed someone to get here ASAP.

I ended up going straight to my other job and was there till 8pm. My manager couldn't believe that it took that long to get someone else to show up to replace me. I went home and slept for a tad bit before I had to go back at midnight. 20 hours of work in a row and I had to do 8 more. But I survived and it is all over. They are not getting me to work, no matter how hard they try.

I gotta get crap together for bridging on Wednesday night. Too much to do and too little time. Plus I have a headache that won't go away. Not sure how much I will be around.

Hi all. Sorry for the delay in posting, but Terra and I just got home a little while ago. Phil's appointment was semi-successful. The primary thing they did was increase his anti-depressant dosage. The also suggested a nother type of medication, but it has both of us a little nervous. I think that since my parents will be here to take Terra next week if needed we're going to give it a few days to see how things pan our before deciding on the new meds. It seems that the extreme dosage of Vitamin D that the doctor prescribed last week is at least part of the culprit. He took the first pill yesterday and within 12 hours was sinking quickly and deeply into a depression. Now that we are 24 hours past that pill, he is doing increasingly better. The current plan is to talk to the doctor again on Monday before taking another Vitamin D next week. For now, I am just praying that Phil at least stays where he is now or, even better, improves. Past that, I just pray that the way is paved for us to move sooner rather than later, but whatever happens I trust that it is for the best.

Thank you all again for your continued prayers. It means the world to me and really brought me peace this morning as I waited impatiently for Phil and Terra to get into town. You all are the best.

Tia,
So glad to hear Phil's appointment went well. That is the thing that helps when one can recognize their limits. It does take a while for new meds to kick in, sometimes as much as six weeks. When I needed help, I wanted to know everything I could so I asked all kinds of questions. It also helps to have a good Doctor who listens.

Don't feel bad, Clare. Phil liked it despite the fact that he isn't a big Tom Hanks fan and he really doesn't like Ron Howard films. My mom always says that if the critics don't like a film, that's probably a guarantee that she will.

BTW - I love the new you in the signature! It is really cute and captures you perfectly.

Phew! Glad the film went down well with you guys

Glad you like the me in my sig too - I thought it was quite a good likeness
