So I am trying to find some work to do at home while I continue at the bank.  I found a company West at Home, legitimate and approved by the BBB.  All you need is a land line and high speed internet.  I finished the application process and paperwork process.  I'm just awaiting on my training now.  It will be great for extra income.  If Mike every gets on at a police department I will have to stay at home with the kids so maybe I will be established by then.  For now I'm just stressed... stressed with all the things I need to do all the time!!!  Christmas time is always stressful it seems.  This year our finances are about half of what they were last year.  Last year was a good year.  But I'm blessed to have a good job and have everything I need and a little extra.  My children are happy and my husband is loyal and wonderful.  There isn't much more I can ask for.  It just seems I have all these little things to do, not to mention the tons of schoolwork that seems to pile up!!!!  I can't wait from my holiday break from school!  I feel like I miss out on so much of the kids lives by working away from the home.  It really depresses me.  Mike has been wonderful with the kids, but I am seriously jealous that he gets more time with them then I do!!!  I miss them so much when I'm at work!!!

Sick day

Well I called in sick today.  I have a horrible cold!  Grayson had it first and I think he has passed it on to Aubrey and I.  It is giving me some time to reflect though...
I haven't posted in a while because I knew that thinking about things would make me think about Gomer.  We lost him a few weeks ago and it has been painful for me.  I know people don't care about pets as much as I might, but he really was like part of the family.  I've had him for 5 years.  The worst part is how he died.  Mike and I decided to go get some Bravo's in Mullins.  I took Gomer in the car with me, which is weird because normally Kay Kay is my car riding dog, but anyways, we picked up our food and headed home.  Gomer fell asleep in my lap.  We have a gate on our property so Mike gets out to open it.  Then he pulls the car through to close the gate.  I let Gomer out of the car so he could play with the other dogs.  Mike didn't know and then just pulls the car to park it.  Gomer was underneath.  I felt us run over him.  I got out and ran to him.  His heart was still beating and I kept my hand there for a few seconds and felt it stop.  I sat out there with him for a while before letting Mike near him.  Mike was very upset and stood in the yard crying for a long time.  He buried him and we all went out and said goodbye.  I was sick and still am over it.  I miss him so much....
