Thank Goodness this week is over...

It has been a long week at work. And not a very fun one. It amazes me what people worry about in the work place. For instance we have a lady, which just happens to be across the hall from me, that worries about EVERYONE. She checks the clock when you come & go. She wants to know what you are doing, why you're doing it and are you sure you should be doing it. She thinks she's doing someone a favor, but no one cares. She gets to work at 4-5am everyday, works nights, weekends, etc. None of us work like her. But what she doesn't realize is that no one really cares she does this and she sure doesn't get any compensation for it. Then we have those that are jealous...jealous, I don't know why. I've been driving a pool truck back and forth to my new office, which I'm STILL working on getting all set up. I'm not even working permanently out in the field yet, but it's bothering someone that I'm driving it EVERYDAY. What's their part in all this? I don't know. But it hurts to know someone is so upset about what I'M doing and feels the need to point it out to certain people.

It's actually been a hard month at work. For the first time in 10 years I've seriously looked for a new job. That's a bad feeling for me. To be so unhappy you want to leave. There are two supervisor positions open right now and I'm trying to decide if I'm going to put in for them. No, I don't have all the knowledge it takes to do these jobs, but I CAN learn, I just need a willing teacher. I'm not sure, I have some mixed emotions about it all. I've also wished I was a man these past few weeks, because I think some of this wouldn't have happened. It's tough trying to make a career in what is for the most part a male dominated world. Or if I am successful, I'm paid less than a male, and respected less and viewed differently. I'm a head strong Female for the most part, but having to constantly fight my way through is getting old. But letting them win I don't think is really in my game plan. I'll keep striving to be the boss one day. I think I can do it, maybe I need a little more experience and practice. Work has consumed my life this week...I'm ready for my Vacation week after next, and ready for the 4th of July Holiday!!

We are going to be going to a few gatherings...wish we all lived closer (again!) Sunday we are going to Linda's friends house, it'll be good, there will be lots of Ronald Gene's old friends there and I think Ronny will enjoy that. They have a pool so the kids will LOVE that! Then Monday night we are all going to the Baseball game, and they will have fireworks! Then on the 4th we'll go to Don's. That one will be hard, this will be the first 4th since Sissy passed away and it won't be the same.

Daniel is gathering things for Band camp this week. Kailea PASSED Summer School!!! YEAH!!! She's ready to enjoy the summer. We are getting our entertainment center next week and then while we are off we'll re-do our bedroom and then our new bedroom furniture will be delivered that Saturday!!! It's going to be so nice. Then we have a contractor coming out to give us some estimates on remodeling our house a little bit. We are excited! We've made our decision that this will be home, and we need to fix it up and make it more enjoyable.

I hope ya have a restful 4th of July week...and Holiday!! Love you! ---Netha

Bob...

Meet Bob...yes, that would be Bob the bobcat! He is currently located at my new office in the field. He was hiding under this dock. But has since moved on. I haven't seen him under here in a few weeks. And I check regualarly, however, one of the guys saw him crossing the road, just down from our office. There has been a lot of activity around there these past few weeks, hopefully he has moved his residence!!! This is the first time I've seen a bobcat up close and close enough!!!

Hi Everyone.
Hey Simon we are proud of you. GREAT JOB. Well Cheryl & I will be off to the mountains Thursday for a few days to do some bike riding and other ACTIVITIES. Hopefully it will be cool. We plan on coming back to Manahans and do a ride on the 4th. That will be fun. Netha seen BOB lately? Another story.
Later

Summer is Flying by...

Kailea has ONE more week of sumnmer school!! She's so ready to be out!!! Then Daniel's off to Band Camp at West Texas A&M in Canyon for two weeks. I don't think he's been away from me for that long. He's looking forward to it. Ronny and I are off the week after the 4th, we plan to work on our house. Kailea has day camp for 1/2 a day for two weeks at the CP center. She loves to go there!

We are going to try and get rid of the "airport thing" Kailea has. She and I are going to fly to see Terry & LaQuita in July. Hopefully that will be a plesant thing and she'll not talk about the airport so much. I bet what changes is, "I went to see my boyfriend John at the airport," to " I went to see Quita & Terry at the airport." That'll be ok though!

Not much else going on here in West Texas. I'm still working hard on my new office building. So many details, but when I get it all done, I will have accomplished a lot! A new job is fixing to post at work. It's a production supervisor. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to put in for it. Hard to say today. There's lots of people that will put in for it, I'm probably not even in the front running. But I've filled in for those guys, I could do it. I'd still need some training, but who doesn't! I'll keep you posted. Maybe it'll just be another "interview exercise"!!

I hope you all have a great weekend...Kailea has a swim party to go to on Saturday, Daniel will probably invite a friend over and play Warhammer! We use to need a room for Lego's, we now need a room for Warhammer. He has most of his stuff in the garage, but it over flowith too. At least he's at home! The pool table is gone and he's started playing in there, migrating to any open floor!! : )

Have a great weekend!

Hi Kailea and Daniel. (are they allowed to participate???

Heah, I did it!

Heah there, I can't believe I was able to do this and get on here. You KNOW how computer literiate I am...........NOT! Sory to hear you had such a bad day. I had one of those on Monday. In fact Terry called one time and finally told me to not touch anything else and just go to bed. It worked, Tuesday was better. Well, I wont type too much this first time in case it doens't really work right. It will be interesting to see if it does. Have a good evening. PS...So glad you enjoyed this weekend, we all did too.

Wednesday 6/13/07

What a day...I nearly worked 12 hours today! I've been filling in for the maintenance supervisor in the field this week and last week. Then today the other supervisor was gone, so I filled in for both! Our new office in the field is coming a long. When I figure out how to post a picture I'll put it on here.

I got all your reply's about "no web page attached" It was really late when I did this last night. I just thought this would be fun. Something different.

Kailea has 2 more weeks of summer school left. Then Daniel will be leaving for band camp the second week of July, for TWO weeks.

Ronny and I bought us a new living room suite. We are anxiously awaiting it's arrival in 6 weeks or so.

We went to LQ & Terry's new house this weekend for a Surprise party for Shea! We had a great time. Their house is BEAUTIFUL!!! We loved it!! Shea's party was fun...wish you all could have been there!

I look forward to reply's on here....talk to you soon.

My First Attempt....

I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now. I've been reading a "family" blog. I'd love to have one of those. So I'm taking the first step...what do ya think? Want to blog with each other? I think it would be a great way to keep up with everyone...
