Yo'Lunchee

She's out of surgery. The doctor was able to pop both bones back into place as well as the growth plate. No plate was needed. Yay!

They did have to put two screws in her ankle that will have to come out in 6 months but it looks, for now, like everything went really well!

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers!

As much as I hate this, Weight Watchers is going to have to wait one more week. With us not getting our rebate check and having to pay extra money to fix Scott's truck, we are BROKE until I get paid on Friday. *sigh*

My new schedule at work starts tomorrow and one of the things I'm going to do is clean out the pantry and the freezers so that I can see what all I've got to work with until I can afford groceries. I may not be able to start "the plan" but I can still eat right.

I need a new icon for motivation.

We heard last night that there was a chance we would not get our tax rebate today. Sure enough it was not in our account. We will get a paper check sometime in July.

Too bad we desperately needed that money.

Scott's truck is running again!!!!!

YaY!!!

I have to say that I am really irritated with Scott's job right now. In his department there are 3 workers and a supervisor. The supervisor is off Wednesdays and every weekend. There is Haji, a young kid with no experience and DeAndre who is just there (kind of).

First off DA was hired while Scott was out with his hand injury. When Scott went back to work DA decided that since Scott had been out he had more seniority then him and therefore would not listen to anything Scott tried to tell him. HA! Luckily that didn't last long. Lately (by that I mean the last 3 months) DA has been disappearing. In the middle of his shift, for hours, while still on the clock. This happens daily now.

Shortly after Scott went back to work one of his co-workers was fired for stealing a TV (he tried to frame Scott by signing the book that he had taken it out of storage). When that happened Scott was off Fri/Sat and DA was off Sat/Sun because he wasn't really ready to handle Sat by himself. When the supervisor went to him and said I need you to go to Sun/Mon off he flat out said no. Scott ended up working every Sat 6-8 hours a day because DA just "couldn't".

Now it's to the point to where not only is DA disappearing but he's calling in conveniently when he's about to be off on Sat/Sun. This effects Scott every time it happens. If his boss is not there and it's his day off, he gets called in. If DA calls in on Friday, Scott gets called in. Last week Scott worked 59 hours. That was more then Haji and DA put together. This week, he's headed toward the same. He worked from 6:30a-3:00p today then left home at 7:00p this evening to go paint the kitchen. He'll probably roll in around 4:00-4:30a like last week, then go back tomorrow at noon to help set up the stage for the annual 5k run on Saturday. OH Yeah! After that he has to be back Saturday at 5:00a to work the race and he'll be home around 1:00p.

There was a meeting for management today where overtime was discussed and how it was NOT to be done. Well, until Scott's name came up. Then it was, "No, he's not in this. We need him." While that is flattering that he is so needed I wish they could show their appreciation in his pay. He makes 3-4.00 an hour less then others in his field starting out with no experience.

Scott loves the residents, likes his co-workers (for the most part) and just loves what he does. It's just very frustrating.

Supposedly he has to go in tomorrow because DA is going to be fired. I don't wish unemployment on anyone but I really hope this guy gets the boot. After everything that he's done (or should it be hasn't done) he just needs to go.

Oh...man. If you've made it through this entire rant you deserve a cookie. If I had any I'd give you one. ;P

I've got to go to bed.

P.S. He was also accused of harassing a CNA a few months back. When something was said to him about it, the very next day, he found it necessary to follow her around and even yelled at her "Who's stalking you now, bitch". *sigh* Why are people allowed to get away with this crap?

As of 4:00 today I am on vacation until next Wednesday!!! SQUUEEEE! We don't have any plans but I am sooo excited to get a break from work!!!
I hope everyone it having a lovely hump day! Hehe!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, EMMA!!!!!

Even with a list, they forgot my underware. :o(

I have a feeling it is going to be a loong and boring day today.

but...Transformers is AWESOME!!!!! Go and see it! :o)

Melanie, Robin & Jennie.
What brand of diapers do you all use?

Hey guys this is Gina posting for Jamie.  

Scott went back for surgery at 7am and they called around 8:45 to let her know they were operating and he was doing fine.  

As soon as she knows more I'll know more and will let you guys know!  For now please keep Scotty, Jamie and the doctors and nurses in your prayers this morning!  :o)

Thanks so much for fixing it for me kalki!

We are looking for 2-3 full time kids ages 2-4 to replace some that we have just lost last week. If you know anyone who may be interested please send them my way so that I can get them to Mrs. Sandra.

We are located on Clearwood Rd. near the Stage and Covington Pike intersection.

Thanks!!!

I'm about to hunt down my halloween items for the front porch so that I can decorate. I'm excited! I love the decorations for the seasons and holidays for the last part of the year!

Oh!! I know what Scott and I are wearing to the halloween party! *giggle snort*

Lots of ♥
