The End of 9th Grade

Tyler has accomplished and completed 9th grade with pride. During the fall sports season, Tyler was on the cross country team. The final grades for his academics are one A, four B's and two C's on his report card. This first weekend of summer vacation he has chosen to stay the weekend with Grandma Linda, Great Grandma Dorothy and Great Grandpa Burt. Tyler will be taking the written exam for his driving permit on his 16th birthday next month. Tyler does not want a drivers license yet, so he is riding his bicycle everywhere he goes. Tyler has an interest in applying for his first job next month, possibly at King Soopers pushing buggies? Not sure yet. Take care everyone and I will post later.

Back to Wal-Mart

Guess what? I am going back to work graveyard shift at Wal-Mart. The corporate world is sitting at a desk in front of a computer 8 hours a day, watching the clock. (not for me) I have too much ambition and energy to waist.

The positive side of working graveyard shift 10pm to 7am are as follows:
1. I dont miss work for dr, dentist appointments or court with the ex Kevin.
2. I have Friday and Saturday night off for enjoying the camping season with my family.
3. I get the bed all to my self during the day, with Libby.
4. The benefits are awesome with medical, dental and life insurance coverage.
5. The pay is $10.20 an hour, which after 90 days could go up by 60 cents:)

To my family and friends, who are very supportive ( I will be sleeping from 8am to 4pm Monday through Thursday. I miss you all very much and I will stay in touch when available.

Corporate America?

Okay, for the past three months I have been working for a Temporary Agency with my first assignment at Johns Manville. I have never worked in Corporate America. This assignment is better than high school. When walking through the halls, complete strangers smile and say "Good Morning"? Nobody ever did that in high school. People working in Corporate America are very friendly and outgoing with college degrees to boot!! Some people I work around, I swear went to charm school? My assignment ends on April 27th and I am very nervous about what comes next for a paycheck? I thoroughly enjoy Johns Manville and don't want to leave, but the projects are running a little low during this time of year. I have learned that working with a Fortune 500 company is very rewarding for the resume.

The Season of Outdoors

Hey everyone,



Camping season is just around the corner. Today we are organizing and cleaning the new camper getting ready for the summer. What a lot of work!! Have you ever tried to make the bed over the truck cab? (Very tight sqeeze) The camper is a 2002 Fleetwood Angler that fits awesome on the 2003 GMC Duramax Diesel. We now have 4 Polaris ATV's that are washed, waxed and ready for the trails. Our favorite camping spot is above Central City at The Columbine Campground. Hopefully with all the snow and rain received, we are able to have campfires this summer:) Are you ready for the summer? What is your plan?

Take Care of Your Pets

As some of you know, Bob and I have two dogs. Libby is a 4 year old cocker spaniel and Bandit is a 13 year old german sheppard. Libby was groomed and shaved completely with only a mohawk on her head last month (during the snow storms) and I had to break down and buy her another sweater, because she was cold and shivering (vibrating the bed at night unless on my heat pad). Libby has a hideous looking leapard print that is wearing out! Bandit is doing okay for an old fellow and eats like a pig, unfortunately he fell down the back stairs a couple of weeks ago. We now have two baby gates blocking the stairs outside for his safety (guess where he has to do his business now?) On the deck, so daily we have to hose off the deck for his safety:) Pet's are our other children and as everyone knows, safety comes first. Take care of your pets for today, tomorrow and the future.

Window of Opportunity

To my friends in life,

Have you ever had the window of opportunity to change your life in an instant? The window to the world is your opportunity to improve yourself or someone you love. On some day's the window is dark and gloomy and other day's the window is full of sunshine. Today is your day to use the window of opporunity to make a positive change!
