Women Who Eat Chocolate

Well....I finally have time to sit down and post for once. On Monday I started a job as a housekeeper for the Carlisle Inn in Walnut Creek. As of today, Friday...I am no longer a housekeeper at the Carlisle Inn in Walnut Creek. In all the jobs I have ever had...I have never been a quitter...ever...! I feel so bad too because Yvonne Sutton put in a good word for me to get the job...I should've have known better though. Me and housekeeping don't mix. I did fine until the second day when I started to clean bathrooms. There I was......in a fog of industrial cleaning fluid and the worst headache of all time started to come on... I don't know whether it's my diabetes that made the headache worse.....but me and that cleaner just didn't mix. They told me that some people just don't make it because of the cleaners...they're just too strong. Man...I feel so bad because the people there were so nice! I'm going to keep looking for a job though....somethin...

GO HAWKS! I have never seen such a good game as I did yesterday at Meadowbrook to win the district championship. The Hiland Hawks beat Malvern 63-66 on a shot from half-court by Joel Gause with .03 seconds remaining---and it was a SWOOOOOSH! There was absolute pandemonium in our stands. Best game ever...except for maybe the game we won in triple OT down at Athens against Skyvue in the regional final....now that was a game too. Oh my...basketball will always be in our blood. Better get ready for church....:) I woke up in a panic thinking I hadn't set my clocks back...luckily my cell phone changes by itself and that's what I had my alarm set on! Melissa Kay

The last few days I have sat here and stared at my computer screen knowing what I need to do. I need to write. I need to write articles to publish....I need to start writing George's life story into book form.....I just need to write! What's stopping me? I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I have the patience to write a whole book....I know it's inside me and wants to come out. Maybe it's time to tame the beast and just start. Maybe that's how I could make some extra money. I always feel intimidated, like no one would want to read what I write. I guess it's just that old insecure self that keeps on bubbling up to the surface.....that self that thinks I'm not good enough to do anything. It's time to slay it and move on. God doesn't put whispers in your head for nothing. Since I've started writing for the church newsletter, many people have told me they can't wait to read what I write next....maybe that's a sign too. I thin...

Belle and Selena being themselves... Sasha, Selena and Jasmine @Hiland game Hunter w/Selena's no soda muffins! Ok...I'm mad now...I had a whole long post that I accidentally deleted. It was a good one and I can't remember it word for word. blah. I even had pictures! I guess I'll just add the pictures and try again tomorrow. Genius in posting doesn't strike twice...I have to be in the mood and not mad that I erased it! til' the morn.... missy

Tonight I am plain lazy...... I want to type more than this.... but my recliner is calling me..... sorry Rhonda.....I will be prolific in my next blog..... In my mind, Friday is the best night to be lazy. By my chair I have a stack of magazines as yet unread....I have a half-finished book that's whispering my name also. I may just sit there and stare into space. I guess I have too many things on my mind. Friday nights may never be the same, though, for me. When Belle was little, we would make brownies and watch movies. Then she would go to bed, and I would watch the X-Files, then watch more movies late into the night. Now, my little baby is 16 and down in Dover with her friends at the mall! I want to go back to those days. I still have Selena and Hunter here with me (and of course George).....but I feel like it's the beginning of the end. Now I have to stay up and wait for her to come home, and worry a little bit in between. You begin to feel like the old mama at home...
