My brother is here!!!

I am excited! My baby brother Richie is here with one of his buddies, also a Richie, and they are hunting deer...I know some of you don't like the idea of Bambi hunting, but they are so tasty! So far they haven't had much luck. Not sure how long they are staying, but is sure is nice to see them.

I have been down in my back all week and headache most of that time. Went to the doc today and was wrung out like a rag! Pretty dog gone sore right now!!

Sarah has had a couple of really bad days and had to miss school. But, I heard it is going around the schools.

Gotta run and hit the sack...my eyes are crossing!!

Blessings...

Interview...

Well, as interviews go, it went well....I thought. But, most of the interviews I have had I thought went well, too!! I am not holding my breath on this one. If God sees fit to give it to me then I am blessed, if not...I am still blessed because it wasn't the right job for me!! I am waiting for God to bless my business at the right time and it will take off like gang busters and I won't have to work outside the home....It can happen!!! I have faith!!!

Went to Sarah's MBC Awards banquet last night down at Miller's in Newark. Awesome food! She received 1st Team in volleyball and got a nice medal. Her boyfriend's MOAC awards banquet was Sunday evening and he received Player of the Year and best Offensive Player. He is an awesome athlete.

Randy has finally started combining again after 17 days sitting waiting for the grain elevators to start taking in more grain. It has been so frustrating for him. He has bills due and can't get anywhere because nobody was taking in corn. The one's that were, the trucks had to sit for 3-4 hours just to dump and nobody wanted to haul because of that. They emptied out his grain bin on Saturday and he ran all day Sunday and Monday and now the bin is full again!! Yea!! As soon as it is dry he will start hauling it out again. I think the bin holds 6,000 bushels of corn. He has about 60 more acres to combine. God has really blessed us this year with me being off work and my unemployment running out, we haven't missed a payment on anything. Thank God!!!!

Finally!!

Well I finally have an interview Friday back at the Naz. We will see how it goes!

Check it out!!

Check out my new link "Brinkfish" for the contest I am entered in. Check it out and vote!!

Sarah's boyfriend Taylor's football team didn't win their playoff game Saturday. I know he was very disappointed by it. Sarah's team went through her games but didn't make it to the final two teams for the final playoff. Their team did make it to the final four teams though. We are visiting colleges now. We went to Wright State on Thursday, boy was that a long day!

Randy is in the midst of combining all of his little "corns". :-)) Right now our one grain bin is completely full of dried corn and we have to wait until the grain elevators are accepting more grain before we can truck it out. We then need to find a semi truck to haul it then!

Gotta run, it is late as usual and I have a doc appointment at 7:30 for my feet, so please check out my pics and vote!

Blessings....

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!!!

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.
