I'm so glad you did this tag!...I learned a lot of new things about you!--I didn't know your Grandma Annie survived a Nazi concentration camp(!)...And maybe my brain is not functioning, but I'm not sure that I've heard the story of you calling 911 to save your Mom & Jessie's life!!...You'll have to fill me in!...And you've run a Marathon & all those other amazing feats--you're the Woman! ..We'll have to go for sushi sometime & see if I can be brave :) -I've only had the whipmy little crab rolls that they sold at 711s & the PCC in Hawaii.
-Yeah, I'm not much of a gamer myself...I loved the original Nintendo when I was a kid & the Nintendo 64--but then I quit when video games got Too complecated with XBox & everything (I mean 2 joysticks on the controller?..& like 80 buttons--that's ludicris! - lol) ..That's why I like the Wii..simple & kids can play, too...Leka has gotten really good--she gets high scores on bowling & boxes better than me (it's a riot to watch her on the boxing; she goes crazy--letting out all her Kung Fu that she's been practicing :) ..I've only played Wii Sports & Mario Cart (which was fun, but my parents' TV was too small to play well). -Now that we've had the Wii for like a week I'm afriad we're getting addicted & will want one when we give it back to Nase's sister :/ (especiall in the long, cold, dark winter...it's nice to have some indoor entertainment!) - Blogging is fun for that though :)
Well, I have written you a novel..& here at 1 am again(!) (I've got to start getting the kids to bed earlier so I quit staying up so late...I should just go to bed, but the night times are so nice when it's Just me up & about--I never get that in the day) - Well, at least tomorrow Leka goes back to preschool so I can have my 3 hr block to run errands or whatever with just one kid (whohoo) :)
Oh & I forgot to say--Thank You for getting that recuriter info for us!--Quite honestly I wouldn't mind if Nase found a new job with or without layoffs...there are some thing about Flying J that I don't like & find hard to live with. For starters the really don't' have health insurance (with a $3,000 deductible everything is out of pocket)--although it does bring peace of mind if there were to be a major medical bill (Like Jessie's life flight in the 100s of thousands(!) - And we're lucky that the kids qualify for CHIP..so they can get decent health insurance (& it's a good thing, too because Austin has had So many trips to the Dr's office!) ...And I'm feeling quite a bit disgruntled that Nase's bonus has gone Down each year--he really got jipped on this last one (which we know now is because they are Bankrupt!) ..and then he goes on too long of trips sometimes--one was 4 weeks long (Too long to be a single Mom!)-- Any way, I really should stop whining...it's just nice to vent sometimes :p -I get kind of tired of people saying 'just be glad he still has a job' ..Well yeah; I should even though it can be frustrating--Sometimes I think a lay-off would be a blessing in disguise, but I really hope we don't find ourselves in that situation & I know if we did I would look back and say I should have been more greatful for what we had (& I'd rather not eat some humble pie...I'll just take a piece of chocolate mousse please - lol)
...So yes, I am jawing your ear off again (aka typing your eyes off) - I'm just in need of a nice middle-of-the-night vent session :)
Glad you're always here for me :D
Love you lots! Take Care!
