One Step at a Time - March 2015

Aww mama, I'm sorry. That would drive me absolutely crazy!!! Men!
Dottie, how did you sleep last night? Did you get a lot of snow too?
State of emergency here. Thankfully I'm off today. Hubby and Mark are home. Erin has a snow day. CJ went to work. Bf slept over again, those two are oblivious to the weather. She makes me crazy, that one. Anyway, no floor shopping for us today, I guess. Maybe on Saturday.
Check in people! I'm bored and need something to read!!!!

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
More snow overnight. I am so tired of this. Cant go out and do anything..didnt sleep well again...dreams and knowing he is not next to me.
I did find an RV dealer who is interested in buying it but it is over an hour away and I hate driving the darn thing. But my friend will go with me. I just hope it starts...we have it plugged in so maybe it will start. So many loose ends that I get so overwhelmed.
No inspection date on the house and that is on my mind too. I am in a very sad place today. We had so many plans for the summer and now nothing to look forward to. I am on an emotional roller coaster...
Hopefully when I can get out and back to the gym that will help.

Morning Lizz......do you get paid for snow days? My company HR dept just posted that people don't get paid if they miss due to inclement weather....I think that's crazy

[mama bear]

x post Dots....the gym will help

I just got offered the other job.....

[Lizann]

Yay Mama:welldone: I am not scheduled to work today. If there is a state of emergency and I was scheduled, I would get paid if I don't show up. It's all good though. Hubby is going to start on the taxes, which usually makes him grumpy! Ugh!

Dottie, good for you driving that RV. You are quite a woman. Glad you have someone to go with you. I agree, the gym will help. I just ran a couple of miles and it does feel good, afterwards!

[mama bear]

I wish I could help with the sadness Dottie. I really do....

[Dottie Belle]

thanks mama I am just a mess right now. I know it will take time but being trapped in the house with the snow does not help.
Are you going to take the new job????

[paulywogg]

Hi Everyone!
Late check in today, we have another training class at our facility, plus we had a staff meeting. Now I'm ready to go home! LOL
Mama - Congrats on the job!!! Are you going to accept? It's nice to be offered anyway...makes you feel good! :thumbsup:
Hi Jane and welcome to our happy family...glad you're here!!
Pauly - Chin up girlie, you can do this. I know it's hard. Believe me, after everything I've been through (and going through) I know where you're coming from. Nothing compared to Dots though, and she's been such an example of how we CAN get through anything without AL....
Tomorrow is my Friday off so I am having my last (thank God!) yard sale Friday and Saturday. Not sure if I mentioned this yesterday, but my bankruptcy lawyer said that I don't have to pay the last months rent (that I won't even be there) or replace the lawn, he can add it to my case. I am NOT trying to screw my landlord at all, but I just don't have $3,000 to give him....that's why I'm moving in the first place for crying out loud.
Well, better get to work, still swamped. Nora...how are you feeling today??

[paulywogg]

How's Sierra? Is she apprehensive about the move, or exited? My friend moved out of an apartment after 4 years and they charged her for new carpet! I say that's b.s cuz it needs to be replaced after all that time anyways, Mama, am I right?

[mama bear]

I give carpet a 5 year life span....if it's 4 years old you will be charged 1/5 of the replacement value.....unless you trashed it
Niner- I was hoping Clarke had been around as her seemed to be a big help....I don't you to marry him ( I would be jealous!!) but I think he friendship would be nice......but...not sure how Sierra would feel.....
Pauly - have you found a decent doc yet?
I am going to meet with Brenda - the new job- at 4:00...we have to come to terms on money and I am going to try and hammer some more money out of her....but I will have a nice office with a glass wall on the second floor over looking a lake...and a receptionist...and a better educated and more civilzed crowd....

[K9Lover]

Hi Pauly! Sierra is feeling kind of like I am...in limbo at the moment, we both just want to get settled so we can focus on other things, like her mental health. I have been in my house for almost 7 years and the landlord is replacing the carpets, they were dirty when I moved in. He's repainting the whole thing too for a tax write off, then he's increasing the rent by $200 per month.

Mama - holy crap, can I come and be your receptionist?? Sounds like you're getting a definite upgrade with this new job. What's it like distance-wise from home compared to where you work now? Your tenants have kept us entertained over the years, and then there's 'Tucky....what will we do? Anything new with the 'Tuckster these days, by the way?

Nora - yooo hooo....where are you?

[mama bear]

K9 - I didn't even tell ya'll about the addict that wandered into our office stoned on something and vomiting in the garbage cans. That was last week when we still in shock over Dottie.
One of the reason I am desperate to leave is to get away from Tucky and her bullshit....that's what prompted me getting out and networking about 6 months ago. I am sure I can share about elderly, wealthy owners and their plaid golf pants and V-neck sweater vests! I ADORE my current boss and I have great trepidations about leaving her........but you are right...just being offered the job is awesome after so many months of sadness and worry....

[mama bear]

SNAP...I better be able to check the site at my new job,.....I'll ask today in the negotiation meeting........"So umm, Brenda, I am an alcoholic and I have these great friends on my alky support site and I have to check on them several times a day. That won't be a problem will it?" tee hee
I told her about my DUI right off the bat...that was very humiliating. But she was cool....as long as I had no felonies, we were fine....

[NoraC]

Hello all

Love & hugs to all!

Welcome to Jane.....sorry that I haven't been keeping up. Seems like all I do is say I'm sorry. Feeling much better today. Making an appt with my regular Dr for a physical. I think that all the stress hits my stomach. Stress plus drinking plus not taking care of myself. Yep - it adds up.

I did TTFP yesterday. I have be careful because I don't trust myself lately.

Dottie - ((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))) you are constantly in my thoughts & prayers.

Mama - so excited aobut the job offer.

Sunni - did you get there ok?

Rusty, K9, Liz, Reccie, Jane, Pauly, and everyone else that I'm missing at the moment. Hang in there everyone.....xxxxx
