To do what?

Hey friend!

by sallyanne at 03/27/12 11:19PM
so do i!

by whipsmile at 03/29/12 8:49PM
Maybe we should start a motivation club. Or something.

by themother at 04/01/12 10:25PM
Wish I could come light a fire under you but since I can't you'll just have to accept this -- JUST DO IT!!! :)

by didow at 04/02/12 12:52AM
Sometimes its just difficult, isn't it. I've learned to accept that a day now and then doing "nothing" is ok. Perhaps even necessary.

How about an update? What's going on in your life these days? Inquiring minds want to know... :-)

by tryphena at 10/05/12 4:44PM
I miss you.

Couldn't resist after I saw this. Besides, I just got my first flat screen Computer monitor
and it's SO COOL to see these bright colors on a nice big monitor! (well, big to me!)

And....while I "have you on here" Please say a pray for my sister from Texas and myself
as we both head to Nebraska in the next couple days to help my other sister to BE WITH our mother. Mother is in the hospital and tho she is always SO STRONG and HATES to be sick, I'm fearful that her 90 year old body just won't cooperate with her strong mind this time.

THANKS FRIENDS!

Happy Birthday and I hope you have a safe trip.

by didow at 01/29/12 8:51AM
Happy Birthday!! I love you, sweet Phyllis and I'll pray for you, Yvonne and your mom.

by sallyanne at 01/29/12 10:36AM

Change and Strange

at 12/17/11 4:13PM

Bitter sweet week-end. My girls are headed home. Joycelyn is coming home for a bridal shower tomorrow, then has to head home early Monday morning to get back to CEI, to work. Tia will be here till after THE Wedding.

This will be our "last" week-end with just us four before we become FIVE!

Next week-end will be strange as well. We'll all be together for about 24 hours to have some fun-filled UNwrapping of presents and probably some LIVER POOL game playing, then "the couple" has to head back to be at work on Monday! Oh, the joys of adulthood and working, ya know?

Three weeks from today life will change again. Joycelyn will be married, and Kittia will be on her way back to Florida.

:D

by juliamiriam at 12/17/11 5:54PM
Thanks for that update on your beautiful sparkly, happy blog. I'm glad you update,even though some of us are very behind on that. :^)

by metzgermom at 12/17/11 9:50PM
Sounds like things are going along as they should...but so quickly...

by tryphena at 12/17/11 11:09PM
Lots of excitement coming up in your family. I hope that all comes off without a hitch...or rather, WITH a hitch! Congrats to the soon-to-be newlyweds!

by mtnestr at 12/18/11 1:14AM
I'm so excited! We are counting down the days until the big event!!

by sallyanne at 12/18/11 9:49PM
Have a Merry Christmas. May they all have safe travels. :)

by thejoyoftom at 12/19/11 10:39AM
Lotsa changes. Try to enjoy your roller coaster ride!!!!

by bandmom at 12/20/11 10:42PM
LOL, I'm with you about the anticipation of the ride! But relief when it's over is definitely something to look forward to....Hang in there!

by bandmom at 12/22/11 11:29PM
Lots of changes going on. I hope the transition will go smoothly for all of you.

by didow at 12/28/11 2:10PM
Thinking of you today! Such excitement in the air!

Let's see....what rhymes with

Bob...

bedaub,
blob,
cob,
corncob,
daub,
doorknob,
fob,
glob,
gob,
hob,
hobnob,

job!!,

kabob,
kebab,
knob,
lob,
macabre,
mob,
nabob,
rob,
slob,
snob,
sob,
squab,
swab,
throb

heartthrob!
Yes!!! 10 years to the day after Bob lost his job he got a job!!
He's been working here and there (temporary factory working jobs) off and
on of course, but that computer related job has never happened till now.

HOMELIFE ACADEMY (HLA) is a private school that hosts home school families to
give them the legal rights to home school in TN. HLA takes care of records, diplomas,
counseling and lots more to help home school families. We were a part of HLA academy
with both our girls. Their diplomas both say HomeLife Academy at the top.

HLA has been "stationed" mostly in Memphis, with most employees working in their homes.
They have an excellent reputation with the wonderful helps they give to
home school families. The HLA office is now located 2.3 miles from our house and now
has a more professional office set up, with better equipped employees working in the
Records Deptartment.

We found out about their move and went for interviews....Bob is working FULLTIME and I have been hired parttime. Bob's job is in the RECORDS OFFICE working on a computer!!! He has also been given the job title of "tasks" which could of course be a
variety of things, from putting offices desks, chairs together, to fixing old file cabinets, etc. The jobs will be endless because of his talents and williness to do whatever they ask him of course. But mostly it is working with a computer!

The HLA Staff is wonderful...all home schoolers (or past home schoolers) with a superb,
compassionate, caring, FLEXIBLE office! WE LOVE IT!!

I could go on an on how happy we are right now. Our desks are side by side, we often go to work together and it is SO MUCH FUN!!!
I am continuing with 2 cleaning jobs, with Bob's help when he can and there are some weeks have been working 50+ hours to get our work done.

I am also tutoring 4 hours a week (my true passion of teaching), which adds to our busy-ness.

NOT TO MENTION...a

WEDDING

happening in less than 7 weeks!!!
More on that in the NEXT ENTRY!! :)

That sounds like an amazing place to be! So happy for you!

by curlie at 11/19/11 11:56AM
Wonderful news, Phyllis - I couldn't be happier for you! Praise God for the bountiful blessings he has bestowed
upon you through your patient endurance!

by mtnestr at 11/19/11 12:23PM
EEEEKKK! I am soo happy for Joycelyn and Geoffery!!! XD

So glad Mr. Bob got a job!!

by juliamiriam at 11/19/11 4:36PM
This is just terrific news! SOOOOOOO thankful!

by tryphena at 11/19/11 5:46PM
that is so amazingly amazing!!!

by whipsmile at 11/19/11 7:05PM
Congratulation!

by didow at 11/19/11 7:24PM
Absolutely thrilling!

by pistos at 11/19/11 11:10PM
What an answer to prayer! So VERY grateful to God for this amazing blessing.

by cyber_space_cadet at 11/20/11 12:12AM
yay! yay! yay! Praise God!

by lori_in_pa at 11/20/11 9:04AM
I am so thankful and happy for you. This is, I think, my favorite of all your blogs!!! Love the Bob list!!!!!!

by sallyanne at 11/20/11 2:01PM
Hurray, hurray, hurray! What a wonderful answer to prayer for both of you! Rejoicing with you all!

by themother at 11/21/11 1:33PM
And I love your little autumn leaves dancing across the screen!

by themother at 11/21/11 1:33PM
Thank you so much. The godly life of a loved one, even in death is cause to rejoice; and although, death brings sadness, it reminds of of our separation from God because of sin, (serving it's purpose.) We had a wonderful service on Saturday. The visitation in Gary was very nice, too. I saw friends and family that I had not seen in decades. Everyone loved my mom. I will miss her very much!

by thejoyoftom at 11/22/11 9:55AM
congratulations my dear twin!! I am so happy for you both. You certainly had a lot to be thankful for yesterday.

by mockinbird at 11/25/11 5:44PM
40 day challenge is to find ways to increase our spirituality -- to focus on specific ways that we can think more about spiritual things and act in a more Spirit-led way.

by themother at 11/30/11 11:12PM
I am sorry it's taken me so long to see this, but I am SOOOOOOO happy for you and Bob! :D

by bandmom at 12/02/11 9:27AM
Just read your post. How WONDERFUL for both of you! Not only to have found a job, but to have found one you two are so thrilled with. I'm glad!
