Family Day at the Rail Road

Abby's First Day of Pre-School

I got the job!! I go for a drug test tomorrow (hope I pass it! haha, just kidding!!) and then will start working Monday. They have a grand opening on Thursday (they've been there 4 months) where I'll have to stay til 7pm just that day, but other than that it's 9-5 Monday-Friday. After Jan.1st, I get 2 weeks vacation per year. After 6 months they'll have a review and see where I'm at and how I'm doing and can get a raise from there. I'm excited. I feel very blessed. I hope it works out. I haven't worked full time in I think 6 years! (unless you include motherhood, hehe).

In other news, MomMom (my dad's mom) is in the hospital very sick. I went and saw her today for the first time in a long time and she is doing a lot better today than yesterday. She's been there 6 days. She doesn't remember anything from during that time. She is talking and alert and knows what's going on. She trembles every once in a while a little but not bad like she was. They don't know what's wrong with her other than she has congestive heart failure. She's had every test done and they don't know any answers yet. She is supposed to be transfered to Emory sometime soon. She goes into episodes of mania I think, where she acts as if she's sewing and other such things. This time was really bad and she had uncontrollable shaking and hallucinations. She had bad bruises all over her arms where she had injured herself from banging into things. She says she feels fine but you can tell she's very weak and very tired, and has lost a lot of weight. She is a very different person from the MomMom I used to know. Me and Jessica used to help her cater dinners when I was about 15 or so. She was very on-the-go, a strong person, always had to have the perfect wig, an excellent cook, and a fast driver! My Uncle is living with them now and helping take care of her and my Aunt came into town for the week to be with her. Anyways, hopefully we'll find out something soon and maybe the tests will show something. That's all for now.

Well I met the owner's wife. She was very nice and very friendly. She basically went over with me the things we had already talked about the day before. She seemed very excited about everything and said she was really looking forward to having me there and they were going to call my references and get in touch with me within a couple days. So, it looks like I got the job (although I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch)! I'm nervous about it, but I'm reflecting today at my life and some things I've been through and thinking maybe this is God's plan, and if it is, it will all work out. Then I'm putting all these things together (too much to explain here) and realizing that everything has happened just the way God planned for it to and that my life hasn't been wasted away, but that God has really worked and set things out just the way they're supposed to be and I believe He has put me here, right where I am - for a reason.

More Jobs

Every once in a while, I search craigslist for job openings in Cartersville. So Saturday, I found this http://atlanta.craigslist.org/med/414880846.html and Sunday, I emailed them my resume. Monday morning they called for an interview and I went at 5pm that day. They asked me a whole bunch of questions and I think I got the job but they wanted me to come back, so I go again today at 10am to meet the owner's wife who helps out there sometimes. It pays very well, I think I got the job but I'm not for sure yet but I should know today! It's Monday-Friday 9-5. Will post later...

Abby got her ear's pierced!!

This one's blurry..I had to take a picture of the picture, haha.
