FYI

Hello to all my readers! LOL. All 3 of you! Just in case you were wondering I love my new job. I was irritated with the lady that was training me but she IS really nice. I feel bad for giving her a hard time (well I didn't to her face). She is very kind and reminds me a lot of my mom. Today I got to work on my own all day. The 3 days I was there last week she and I worked together all day. But I catch on pretty quickly and today they turned me loose. I did a great job. I was 30 minutes late to work though. Arg!!! I got stuck behind a 6 car pile up and it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get there. I called to let them know and they were pretty cool about it. I guess half my office got stuck in the same traffic jam so it wasn't such a big deal. At the end of the day I stayed 30 minutes late to make up the time and they kept trying to shoo me out the door. They would say, "You better go so you can get ahead of the traffic" or "You better get home to those babies of yours!" I insisted on staying though. It's only my 4th day and I was already severely late. I wasn't about to leave without making up my time. After all I have a 90 day probation period to complete. Anyway, my job is going well. I like all the people in the office. Everyone is very friendly and has gone out of their way to get to know me. I'm not shy and that helps alot. I just talk to whoever is next to me about whatever I'm thinking of at the moment. I fit in well there. Which I was really nervous about that before. Anyway all is good in the world of Sara.

I'm reading a great book. It's called "The Worn Out Woman". Synopsis: For the woman with a full life and an empty spirit. It has a lot of good information in it. There are some tips I've found to be helpful. There are also a lot of references to scriptures that can be encouraging when we get weary. It has excerpts of other women's stories too. It's a great read. So if you find yourself overwhelmed seeking this elusive "balance" that life is supposed to have check it out. I impusively bought it because the title appealed to me. It's turned out to be a much better book than I anticipated. Because really.......I have 3 children (27, 4 and 2) a house to clean, laundry to do, a dog to walk and care for, a mom to look after when dad is gone, a mom in law with alzheimers who is getting into the latter stages, and a host of friends to keep in touch with. However I find that the energy doesn't drain quite so quickly when my soul is full. For a while there all I could say to God was, "There is a hole in the bottom of my soul and my all my energy is draining straight out the bottom. So Lord patch the hole and fill me up!" Now I'm beginning to feel full again! It's been a great last week or two. So yay for me.

I'm looking forward to seeing Phil and Jackie next week. So far I know that David and Shirley are coming to the birthday party. If anyone else is coming let me know. I could use a head count for cake purposes. I hope you all come. I would love to see you. And as an added bonus I'm sure I can get my children to make you smile. :)

Have a great week everyone! I love you all!
