Roller Operator

It's amazing how life works sometimes. Not two hours after the last post I made about wanting to go back to my construction job, my boss called. YEAH!!! I got to work all day tuesday. And let me tell you how out of shape I am! I forget about some of the muscles I have to gain, and the weight I have to lose. But I got a fresh reminder of it. But man did it feel good to get a good workout. And I also realize how much I love my job there. The people I work with may not have the same standards. But I enjoy their company, and the fun we have nonetheless. I realize it's not a job that my body will stand up to the rest of my life, but while I am in my mostly younger years, it great. Anyhow, just an update. Things are going in a good direction.

Where did it go???


Okay, I have been searching and searching.... I just can't figure out where February went! It was here at one point I'm sure. But I just can't believe it would be gone already. Before I know it Christmas will be here and..... okay I'm jumping way to far ahead. I need to figure out how to get life to slow down some, and just enjoy the simple things. Not counting sleeping time, I have spent and incredible 7 hours at home last week. And that consisted of doing laundry, dirty dishes, and whatever else. There are days when I wonder if the house will just clean itself. But knowing that won't happen, I resign myself to digging in. There are moments when I look back and think about things I could have done differently so that I wouldn't have to work. But I realize all there is to look at is the future, and to learn from the past. I also can't wait to get back on that roller, and pound sand. That sounded really stupid. But that's what I do in the summer...except it's more like pounding dirt, then BIG rocks, then little rocks mixed with sand. At least I will have the weekends, and evenings home. I plan on attending a technical college in the fall and getting my surgical assistant certificate. For some reason something is holding me back and I can't explain it. I know it is what I'm supposed to do but it doesn't feel right, right now. I think I'm more worried about what I will do when I have to stop working, and go to school full time. How will we survive. Good things are happening with Keith's job, and I think I should wait to see how that cookie crumbles before I make any concrete decisions. That should be settled within a month or so. Anyhow, that's how my life is shaping up right now in computer land. If any of it made any sense.
Oh yeah, I should explain the picture... No I am not some gigantic pig. We were at Animal kingdom and decided to get lunch there instead of the sandwiches we had packed. Dad bought some barbeque stuff, and for some reason the whole tray ended up in my lap and everyone just kept piling stuff on it. Everyone was ready to go but me and I was trying to hurry and finish. Mom thought this would be a great portrait photo. So.... Thanks MOM! I thought is was rather funny. Maybe you just had to be there to appreciate it. LOL
