Direction....

I feel like a need a change in my direction, specifically my WORK direction. But I have no idea what to do about it. I have no idea which direction to move in, which way to turn, what avenue to persue. I can't be the only one to go through things like this. I have two kids to worry about, so I can't do anything TOO drastic. I need a change, a chance, an opportunity. Our society has become littered with things that are called opportunities but in fact are only opportunities for someone to take advantage of another person. I need to hunt down the right place for me, the right move, the right something.

Have you ever....

said something and then maybe wished you hadn't?!?! I don't know if I wish I hadn't. I meant what I said, but I am afraid that saying it in the context I did, it will be misinterpreted. Maybe instead of listening to and being harrassed by my friend, I should have just gone with my own instincts...lol. Oh well, I did mean it, that part is true. I just hope it wasn't taken as waaaay more than it was meant. Could I be any more vague on this blog about whatever it is I am talking about. Wouldn't you like to know!!!

So, if you happen to read this, and it makes sense to you....know this, I meant it, maybe not in the way you might think I meant it, but I did mean it nonetheless...

Back to your regularly scheduled coherent thought processes.

Shut The Front Door!!!

Today at the zoo, I saw the darndest thing. Then driving home, I saw the same thing on Rock Creek Parkway. What is it I saw you ask. I saw Metropolitan Police on Segways. Why? That is what I want to know. Why not bicycles? Why are they on Segways?!?!?! Do we not need our police to be in tip top physical condition to catch the cracked out bad guys roaming the streets?!?! Why are they on the lazy maker of machines?!?!

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller??

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

I just went to my favorite news channels website, and on the home page are three stories glaring at me:
1) Swine flu in the US.
2) Police manhunt for professor for killing spree
3) The Mob is loving the economic downturn.

Well, if these don't make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I don't know what will. This type of thing is what makes me say, "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!"

New opportunities...

I just applied for a new job. I feel like I need a new one. I feel like I am floundering a bit where I am, and that I need to shake things up a bit. I am not offered health benefits where I am now, don't even get me started. I applied for a job in the same type field, but in management...ooooh...

I am hopeful, please keep the good vibes flowing. I am also hoping that if this pans out, I can take my kids out of where they are now for the Summer, get a babysitter to come to my place to watch them, and then let them go back in the Fall for before and after care. Hoping...hoping....praying...

I think I would be great in the position for which I applied....ooooh, did you catch that fancy appropriate grammar....watch out baby!!

All I need is an interview, and I can sell myself. All I need is a foot in the door....come on universe, give me a sign, a signal, a shot!!!

Winter Wonderland

Since it is so freaking hot today, I decided to reminisce about one of the last Winter storms we had. Ahhh, the snow was so pretty, we sledded, built a snowman, had a snowball fight....ahhh...I may need to stick an ice cube down my top to really get the feeling back from this day...

It seems like we may skip a real Spring and go straight to Summer. Well, at least it seems that way today, who knows what next week brings.

Tomorrow the girls and I are heading to the zoo. Tomorrow, which is supposed to be hotter than today...LMAO!!! Yes, I am insane.

Let's just all sit and look at my Winter Wonderland.....mmmmm...a nice fire, a nice honey, a nice soft blanket, mmmm, that is perfect to me.

Bubba....

This was my Bubba. Yes, I dressed him as a Bubba Pumpkin....so what! I had to leave him behind when I left, I couldn't take him to an apartment. The ex couldn't keep him either. He travels a lot for business, and Bubba is very special needs. He is congenitally deaf, and has been diagnosed as ADHD, yes, for real. He has many issues. Anyway, when the ex couldn't keep him, and we couldn't find a good home for him, he was turned over to the Mid-Atlantic German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue. They placed him in a foster home, and got him some great training. I check the website frequently to see what is going on with Bubba. I am sooo happy to announce, Bubba found a home. There is currently an adoption in progress, and he should be with his new family permanently, soon. I am so happy that his life has turned out for the better. I tried to work with him, but honestly, I just didn't have the resources to work with him like he needed.

I love you Bubba, and you will ALWAYS be Bubba to me...and I will ALWAYS love you...you big ole oaf!
