Well, I am back at the grindstone!

You know, I prayed and prayed for a job and now that it is here...don't get me wrong...I am grateful, but... I know every place has its problems and this one does too...lots of them! I am not sure I am ready to deal with all of it or not! At least it will be a paycheck...right? I am learning the traditional side of higher education, at least their their method anyway.

On to other things! Sarah won the high jump at the Univ. of Findlay on Sunday!! She was the only one out of the final five who jumped 5', and then went on to jump 5'2" and almost had 5'3". She also took 5th place in the 55 meter dash with a time of 7:85 seconds. First place ran 7:45 seconds. Pretty fast, huh!! Not too bad for not practicing very much. She is going to go down to visit Ohio Wesleyan University tomorrow morning and take the tour and visit with the volleyball and track coaches. They are recruiting her right now.

Well, need to get some shut-eye....have to go to the gravel pit tomorrow! :)))

Back to the grindstone....

Yes....my freedom is over!! I start my new job at NCSC on Monday...say a prayer!! LOLOLOL I really wanted a new job but now that it is almost here I am dreading it too! Does that make any sense? I just hate starting over from scratch...you know what I mean?

Well, our new grandbaby's birthday has been pushed out until August 14th. Which is a good thing. Renee had had some x-rays done a couple of months back and this due date will have pushed it out past the time she had the x-rays done. Thank God! None of us even thought about that except her mom. They also found a cyst when they did the ultra sound so they are going to keep an eye on that as well. Hopefully, it will disappear!!

I ordered a calendar with my photos through my online business and just got it last week. It turned out beautiful! You can put your own photos on as well as birthdays and anniversarys along with pictures of the people! I am putting that one up in my new office!! Maybe I will get some bites of interest there...

Well, I have had a massive headache all day and need to get off of here, but I wanted to post something for today.

Indoor track season has begun!

Left early this morning, before 7, and headed for Ada, Ohio to Ohio Northern University for the "Western Ohio High School Indoor Track & Field Elite Meet 2008." Sarah competed only in the high jump. She placed 1st in Division III and 3rd overall. Division I, II and III competed together. She jumped 5' 1". This is not her personal best (5' 3") but with hardly practicing at all, this is great! The winner from Celina jumped 5' 4", second place jumped 5' 3" and they were both from Division I schools. We came home after she finished. She also got to talk to the high jump and long jump coaches while she was there. The volleyball coach also called and talked to her a couple of days ago. So now she is being recruited for Ohio Northern. She really liked the campus.

Hubby gave me a scare a little bit ago. He had went out to fill the wood stove and was gone for a while. He came running in with blood running down his face and his arm, stripped off his coat, gloves and flannel shirt, stuck his head in the bathtub rinsing off his head. I couldn't get out of him what happened for about four minutes. Finally he stood up and I got to check him out. He has one booger of a banged up head. He tripped and hit his head on a steel fence post which gouged a nice big nick out his little balding head along with a number of scrapes. He has one doozy of a head ache and will be very sore tomorrow!! I am just thankful he didn't need stitches. I probably wouldn't have been able to get him to go have it looked at!! Well, say a prayer for Ran's head and a prayer for me when he gets up in the morning!!! LOLOLOL!

I'm gonna be a grandma!!!!

On Christmas Eve Mike and Renee announced, thru little wrapped onsies for each of us with little notes attached, "to Grandma," "to Grandpa," etc. It is so exciting!! Their due date is July 29th.

Well, I accepted a job at North Central State College in Mansfield and I am supposed to start on the 14th. But, I also had an interview today at MVNU for a job, which I will find out Monday or Tuesday if they offer it to me or not. We will see what they offer. If it is more pay at MVNU, I may take it instead.

Check out my new link to my Webshots website.
