It's Christmas Time?

Christmas is almost here, it's 75 degrees. I am running the a/c and wearing shorts. Our weather is crazy and it sure doesn't feel like Christmas. We are going to have a few days of cold weather, but then it is back to rain, thunderstorms and warm weather again.

I am done shopping. Kinda slim pickins this year, but the economy is bad and I do not get paid until the 31st. Used my $ from the county to help pay the bills and we have a lot of them. I got my husband the normal stuff I always get him like jeans, shirts, cologne and such. Got my daughter a foot massager and LOST the 4th season. Got my son is law some dvd's. Got my Mom some flatware (that is what she wanted) and my Dad some tee-shirts. My son got a new motor for his car and some underwear.

Going to my parents today for our family Christmas get together. WE are doing dirty Santa and eating finger foods. My husband is actually going - that will freak everyone out. I bet he has not been to my parents house in over a year.

Don't know if my son is going or not and that's okay, because my husband and my son will fuss and fight all the way there and back. Thank goodness I have plenty of Zanax.

I will be glad when it is over and we can settle down into our normal routine. I am sorry to seem like such a grinch, but I can't help it. It just doesn't feel like Christmas.

Most Wondertime of the Year

Sorry I have not blogged lately, but I have been so busy. The Christmas season is here and that means more family, church and other misc gatherings are taking place. My social calendar is full!!!

I went to spend the weekend with my Mom and Dad this past weekend. We enjoyed Christmas on the Coosa, being with one another, shopping with my daughter and sister - it was a great weekend!

This weekend is our annual DIRTY SANTA get together. We have finger foods and place dirty santa. My brother who lives is Boston and how has been in IRAQ will be home, so I am major pumped.

I love this time of the year!!!

I'm Loving It

Anytime you start a new job, the anticipation of meeting new people and learning new things can be a bit overwhelming. I started my new job Monday and I am where God wants me to be. My stress level is zero! I have not taken a Zanax all week, can you believe that?

I love the people, the facility and the duties. Can things really be this good? Is it all a dream? Apparently I am one of the most fortunate people in the world.

I want to send a thank you note to my ex-staff members for their bogus hostile complaints, cause my prayers have been answered.

Working for the State of Alabama Emergency Management Agency as the Emergency Services Branch Director is fascinating. I have the opportunity to make a difference and I will do everything I can do to help the citizens of Alabama during times of disaster. I have the full support of my boss and know exactly what to do to accomplish my tasks.

Hurray!!! Hurray!!! I no longer have to report to the incompetent, unethical, probate judge and county commissioners who don't know squat about taking care of their citizens - the ones who voted them into office.

Good luck Dallas County!!!!

ROLL TIDE!!!!

A New Beginning

Started my new job today at the State and I love it. The people are wonderful, the job duties are right up my alley. I want to send a thank you card to my previous staff members and Judge Ballard. See Ya, wouldn't want to be ya!!!!
