Default Hey y'all!

Well, I'm new to this forum but not to many of y'all! In case you didn't know, Daddio and I moved to Arkansas at the end of June last year. Because of our move, we missed our last trip to Playa. I am thrilled to say that we are returning in June! Since our move we have been virtually exiled from internet services, until recently. There is no DSL service in our area and for a long time all we could use (if you call it that) is dial up! Now we have "wireless internet" with alltel (although, it is a USB connection and only for one computer in the home).

Although Daddio continued with his career with Lowes as a Store Manager, I had to move on and look for another job. Shortly before our kids started back to school, I found a job working in hospice as a social worker. I loved the job but soon found out that it was robbing me of my time with my family and causing stress within the home. ~Not to mention being on-call almost all of the time.

As of about 2 weeks ago, I became a domestic goddess for a few months (I hope). I have been busy fininshing some of the things I had neglected in the home; painting and organizing the house, planting flowers, not to mention, doing the laundry! The kids are on their last days of their Spring Break and are returning to school on Monday. I guess that's when I'll begin to look for another job. I am hoping to get on with a local hospital here so I can work PRN and still have as much time with my kids and hubby as I do right now.

Well, that about sums up things going on with me...Any questions? Glad to finally figure out where y'all are!

Christy

Hey Christy and welcome! Glad to see you here! Hope you have a blast during your stint at domestic goddess-hood. Is that a word? I could do with a few months of that myself right now!

Hi Christy....you look amazing in your avatar....way to go girl!!

Glad to hear you are settling in to your new life in Arkansas....and good luck to you in your job search. I am envious of your time off with the family...we all need that once in awhile.

Hope our paths cross again in the future!

I guess I lost track in all the comings and goings ... but your avatar photo is amazing! I guess the surgery worked really well for you -- congrats!


And Welcome.

I think it's a word! Things are pretty good around here right now...today I helped a friend figure out how we are going to set up a chicken farm at her house...small farm...we want fresh eggs!

And Welcome.

Yes, it did work well for me but I need to get off my butt and back on the elliptical this week! Thank you for your support and encouragement.

I want to lose 50 more pounds in the next year and think it would be good if I lost 10-20 # before our trip to Mexico. Gotta keep on rolling!
