It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here! And the reason is my life and my work. It's almost a year since working on 3rd shift and I finally realize how much I detest it! I like having another person working with me, but I hate having to work all night and sleep all day. I feel so useless.
So, I have finally done something about this horrible situation. I will begin next month, after giving a notice, I will begin back on day shift!!
I am also going to work closer to home. This 45 minute drive one way is wearing down on me! Besides that, gas is closer to $4.00 a gallon!! And I hate having to fill up almost every other day!!

CRAZY WORK SCHEDULES AND STUFF
I'm working the grave yard shift! Now I know why they call it that! That if you're working alone, everyone's sleeping but you. Dark, quiet and gloomy! But, uneventful! They should pay me more for this hour, cause it's hard staying busy, quiet and awake!
I watch the numbers, chart and then eat or drink! So thankful for my laptop! I can now blog, research and email! Or I can chat quietly with a new friend. And when I used my web cam, he thought I was in a closet! Because it was dark!
I'm working this shift for two nights, with one day between before I work the next three days on day shift!! Only day I find difficult is the day at my client's school. I'm only allowed to participate in a few things. So I observe and then chart! So, I'm working on writing my testimony when I'm not busy.

ANOTHER UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS
This year Christmas was quick and sweet! I worked the third shift, 12 hours that evening, so we gathered at my sisters for brunch, opened gifts and quickly hurried on our way to the next house! Adam my youngest spent the first Christmas Eve night with me since he was four years old! He had always stayed with his Dad and then came to my house on Christmas Day
This year we stepped up to video web chat with family on the west coast! We all enjoyed being able to see each other in our living rooms and kitchens with all the decorations and Christmas goodies around!
And seeing the newest great grand children were an extra treat for us all!

DEATH OF A MARRIAGE
As I laid here trying to nap because I'm working my 3rd shift tonight, things raced through my mind, and one was why my marriage was destined to fail from the beginning!
This was going to be until death, I was determined to make it work, in spite of all criticism from family and friends! I'm not the reason it failed, it was circumstances beyond my control! It was five family members who died over a period of four years, the four years of my marriage!
They say when crisis hits, how you handle it determines whether it drives you closer to father apart! We had one after another, CRISIS, DEATH OF LOVED ONES! It drove us away from each other, our friends and family and away from God!
We should have been clinging to God, to each other and to family and friends! But we didn't and then it happened!
It wasn't my fault he turned to someone else for comfort, for happiness apart from each other! I believed if I had not worked as much, been a better wife, he wouldn't have left me for someone else!
But, it wasn't my fault! I know that now! The pain is still there, only a year being apart, but still fresh in my memory!
My life isn't over! God answers prayer, He gives us strength and healing to our pain and grief!
Now I will focus on the gifts that God has given to me! My huge and loving family, my children, my friends, my church family and my wonderful fulfilling career!
God is my strength and my present help, my redeemer, my Savior!
Thank you Lord for being with me, and with teaching me and blessing me everyday!

INVASION OF THE STINKING ALIENS
Returning home from vacation by taking the red-eye flight across the states from California to North Carolina, one thing besides the cheap fare that you don't receive from flying, and especially on the red-eye flight (which means flying after midnight) is not a lot of sleep!! Coming home after an extended vacation the thing you want the most is a good nights sleep!
So returning to see family at home and that includes your pets, you don't expect or anticipate new house guests! And that's what I encountered my first day home, the invasion of, not body snatchers, or pesty mice, but the invasion of the STINK BUGS!!
I was not sure of what kind of species they were at first, I was too busy catching and disposing of them in a frantic rush!! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't love all of God's creatures, but these ugly, flying and mostly stinking bugs, are not my favorites!! And especially not stinking up my home!!!
I did inform my landlady, which she stated that "they had been invaded also!" And after telling her the major invasion that had attacked me and my pets, she quickly came to my rescue!! She brought me, not bug spray, or an exterminator, but the hand held vacuum to quickly suck up the creatures and dispose of them in the trash! Well, I resorted to my technique of catching them and smashing them in toliet paper and sticking them in the dog's stink pail!!
Just as I finished that last paragraph, one of those pesty stink bugs flew down to the curtain above my computer and landed where I could see him! And as quick as he landed I jumped up to grab a napkin from the table and made a daring swoop to catch him before he flew away to another spot! YEA!! He's captured and put with the rest of the bugs in the stinky pail!!
