I am properly chastised...

Well tonight, at my first Spanish class given by my daughter Missy, I was told that I shouldn't get after my daughter for not blogging when I am not doing it either! What a hoot!!! LOLOLOL So.....Here I am!

Randy started combining his corn yesterday at home and finished up at home today and moved on to another one of his fields. I think he has a total of 150 acres out in corn and a couple of fields of double cropped soybeans (planted after the wheat was taken off). We have our new grainbin a little over half full of soybeans. The corn will go into the old grain bin, the one with the dryer in it.

I am still looking for work, so anyone hearing of anything please pass it along!! I finally finished my 2006 taxes...I know they are very late!!! I will have to work harder on getting this years entered so they won't be so late this coming year. That will make Randy very happy!

Volleyball is over for Sarah...sadly enough. The Freddies made it to Districts and lost against the third team, Pleasant. Had they won, they would have gone to the final play off this past Saturday. I think Sarah was sad in one way and relieved it was over in another. She has been heavily researching colleges and doesn't have it narrowed down yet. Her beau, Taylor, is being recruited pretty heavily right now. He broke several school records as well as the record in the history of the MOAC for most rushing yards in a season. He is an awesome athlete and leader at his school.
Here is Taylor waiting to be interviewed after the game (he is #5)....

My life...

You know, sometimes it feels like all you do is beat your head against a brick wall...or at least a tree or something.... I am finding it very difficult to keep a positive attitude these last few days. I absolutely hate job hunting now! It has been 9 entire months of job searching and rejections. I just pray that my online business will take off like a rocket and I won't have to go back to work at all! God sent it to me, I know this...I got the call just a week after I lost my job in January. All of the people I have dealt with at the company have been exceptionally helpful emotionally and spritually. When I have sent out e-mails for prayer regarding Sarah, my dad, and Ivan my father-in-law, I always received several e-mails back from the different ones in the company...my upline...that were so encouraging and thoughtful. I even talked to one of my upline leaders this week for almost an hour about things regarding faith and church and such. He was such an encouragement to me. I didn't realize I needed to get it all off of my chest. It was so theraputic!!

I don't know, maybe it is just the fact my baby is now a senior and will be leaving to go off to college in a few months. Tomorrow night is senior night at her last home game of volleyball...already!!! This is a major milestone in her life and she is also feeling it. She was sad this morning when she mentioned it to me. I think she almost cried...

Daddy has just three more treatments and he will be done with his radiation treatments. I know he will be very relieved and mom too. I know it has been hard for her going every weekday for 9 weeks. I am amazed at how well Daddy has been. He has kept up his everyday schedule despite having to go every morning during the week for treatments. He still does his hay and working with his cows everyday. I am so proud of my parents. They are so strong and seem invincible at times. I love you mom and dad!!!

Blessings...

Humph!!!!

You know, sometimes you just want to throw up your hands and just scream!! I am back to square one in the job hunting area. I worked for three weeks at the temp place...thinking I was doing really good. Well on the 21st they told me not to bother coming back because he thought that "I wasn't comforatable with my job!" What a reason to let me go!! I really think it was to get out of the contact with the temp agency. One of the guys in the shop had a female friend come in and put her application in and the very next week I am told not to come back! I have to find a job to keep the income coming in until my online business really takes off. So, I mailed out 6 resumes today. We will see how that goes.

I went to the doctor today and found out my scan on the gall bladder was normal, so she thinks it is maybe the start of gall bladder disease. She told me to stay away from fried and spicy foods. I can handle that if keeps the pain away!! I also had lost another two pounds!!! WoooooHoooo!!!
Sarah's volleyball team is doing well. They have only lost two games, both to Centerburg. They place Mansfield Christian tonight and won all three games. They play Danville tomorrow night (Tuesday). Senior night is Thursday at home. WOW! I can hardly believe it is here already!!! Man, does that make me feel old...last baby in the nest.

Blessings
