After 8.5 hours of work today...I'm pretty tired. I went in early to Beantrees today because my boss there asked if I would take her shift so that she could prepare for her son's first birthday party tomorrow. I made sure to go in early so that I could get everything done that I needed to and still make it to the office by 2 PM.
I continued to put listings on MLS and was able to do an extention and edit two listings from conditional/pending to sold!! Wow the agents get excited when they sell a house!!! I guess it must be kinda contagious because I get excited for them too.
One of our children went on a sleepover and one of our children has a friend here for the night...so I guess we're still on par for numbers in the house.
TTFN
Not too much else to write about. It was a busy day and I'm tired enough I think I'll hit the sack early tonight.

Today is our 3rd anniversary!!! I know it doesn't sound like much but, we have to start somewhere. I woke up this morning to a package sitting on my computer. I opened it up before I woke the kids and read a beautiful card that my beloved bought me. It made me cry with the nice words and just the same words that would come from his own mouth and have before. What a guy I have!!! I also got some 60% dark chocolates, some really nice hair conditioner, two Canadian horse magazines and a really cool John Deere tin box with three little drawers in it that I put my jewelry in. I bought him a toolbox that is put on top of one that is on wheels. I think the one with wheels will come for Father's day this year with the kid's help. We alsowent out for supper tonight to celebrate our anniversary and my new job.
It was also the first day that I worked my two jobs. I did three hours at Beantrees and then went straight over to Royal LePage for the next three hours. The second three hours just whizzed by as I was learning new things. I think I was able to put five listings on MLS today which is not bad considering I've never done it before. I had a realtor help me with the input of data and where it all goes. It's pretty repetitive so I think I'll catch on pretty quickly.
I haven't answered the eight line phone system yet as I think they don't want to overwhelm me the first day. While I was there, three clients walked in and of the three I knew two of them and was able to greet them by name...that ought to have impressed the boss and realtors. All in all, it was a pretty good start to a new job. I told my mom this afternoon on the phone that as a person gets older, things really change. I wasn't nearly as nervous as I used to be starting a new job and seemed to slip into the roll better than I had expected.
Anyhow, I'm going to pack it in for the night and get some much needed sleep for my busy day again tomorrow.

Well, I just got bad from an interview pertaining to the job at the Royal LePage office. I was back yesterday and asked to come to an interview so I went in at 8:45 this morning. She told me a little more of what the job entails and hired me on the spot!!! So tomorrow when I finish at Beantrees, I walk two doors down and start my office job on a part time basis for now until I'm done at Beantrees. I start full time on 9th June.
Tomorrow is also our third anniversary. Wow, where has the time gone? It has really passed by very quickly and I don't remember a time when I was happier. God is good!!
I guess I had better go now and have something to eat before I have to head off to work.
Until next time.....

Yuppers, you guessed it again. I forgot my username and password again. C'est la vie!!
Well, our floor is done...obviously and it is looking great when it there isn't blankets, pillows, empty popcorn containers, empty glasses, clothes, etc on it completely hiding it from view. I guess I better get on those pictures and show you all what it looks like.
I guess the newest thing for me is that today I am going into my job and giving my two weeks notice. I have decided that my time at Beantrees Coffee House and Eatery is finished. I have also dropped a resume off at the Royal LePage office two doors down from Beantrees to apply for a receptionist position. Whether or not I get the Royal LePage job is irrelevant to my quitting Beantrees...it's just time. I guess we'll see if I get the position after an interview sometime this week. If I do, good and if not, good either way it's just something different.
All the kids are registered for camp this year and we are planning to go off to family camp again too. It's always lots of fun and we get to catch up with people we only see once a year while there. It's always good to get a boost of God while we're there too.
Well, until next time and hopefully with pictures...

Ok, so now that I remember....
Uh, yeah, now that I remember my login and password, I guess I can start to post again. Sheesh, sometimes I think that I have too many passwords and usernames to remember.
Well, work has been different since the business has changed hands. Back in November, Joanne sold the business and it just hasn't been the same since. The new owners are really great people and lots of fun to work and joke with....just not the same. Oh well, at least I'm back to my regular short hours again and that is a big plus!
I've started playing hockey again in the mornings with the guys that Kelvin works with. They are a really nice bunch of guys who let me get away with lots. Sometimes I think that they really like it when I play because they can skate past me really quick and give me a little nudge and know that I'll fall. They don't care that I'm not good, they just like to see me out there.
The floor in the basement is getting closer to being done all the time. Kelvin has taken two weeks leave to work on it. He has been doing a great job and it's going to look so much better than if the company would have done it. We actually got a payout from the insurance company and are doing it ourselves so that we don't have labour costs and therefore can put more expensive and better quality stuff in. I just can't wait till it's completely finished. If I can figure out how, I will post some pictures of the end result so that everyone can see the new look.
Well, better get back to grouting again.

What a day.....
What a day I had today. It was one of the most stessful days I've had since school has started. It was one of those days where it seemed like I was busy and didn't get anything done.
I got word from a friend that some blood results revealed some early stages of COPD and that some difficult lifestyle changes have to be made.
I work with a french guy who is really a good talker and can't prove himself in any of the things that he is doing and I'm having to follow him around cleaning up his messes and trying to make his screwups salvagable.
We had a flood in our basement July 10, 2006 that the insurance company made me get five estimates to get it fixed and now a year and a half later, it's still not fixed. The company putting the flooring in was supposed to come today but got backed up and won't be here till next week.
Our family is scheduled to go to Medicine Hat next week to see my mother-in-law and her mom which is a 7-8 hour drive but my husband just informed me that he may not get Friday off to go so that puts it to Saturday for us to leave.
The only light at the end of the tunnel I see is that I get six days of holiday in Calgary with my mom to see Sweet Adelines International Competition.
I'm soon off to worship practice and really hoping that my day will end better than it has gone so far. A good worship practice always brings me out of the dumps. God is good!!
