I know it has been a long time but I had moved in at my grandmas house to help take care of her. She has had several small strokes and other health issues that sometimes renders her unable to care for herself. Well recently the situation has changed to where I was able to move back to my dads house and live here again. So I can now blog more often.

SO on to better things. The big news that is still coming, i had blogged about a while ago, my friend Robin and her fiance' Travis are expecting a little girl. They found out in the middle of march that she is having a baby girl. She is due July 12, 2009. She is to be named Wanetta Marie after Robins aunt. It is an Irish name. All has gone relatively well with the pregnancy thus far besides the normal swollen feet and sore back. Robin has had some issues with her hips spreading and making her sore. She has done well until the other day, she had to be admitted to the hospital for observation. She had begun having contractions and her blood pressure was pretty high. She went in to Stormont-Vail Hospital and they told her they thought she was having contractions, which were a minute long and 3 minutes apart, because she was dehydrated. They decided to admit her, though they didnt say it, because they were concerned about pre-eclampsia. She was there overnight and part of the next day while they made her drink until she could pee constatnly and they sampled her urine every time. They monitered her contractions until they stopped and waited for her blood pressure to go down. When all came back ok after her 24 hours, they let her go home. She only has a little while left and is getting anxious already. I am so proud of her. Her and Travis will make wonderful parents and I cant wait to see that beautiful little girl! Best of luck to both of you. I love all of you!

I have been rather busy lately, my sister and I have been taking care of my grandmother and getting her back and forth to her doctors appointments and physical/occupational therapy appointments. She came home from the hospital almost 2 weeks ago. So that has been rather time consuming. We have also been having problems with our cell phone service. We decided to switch companies. So we got our phones shut off yesterday because the new phones were supposed to be here the day before. So I called them to ask where the phones were since there was not even a tracking number on the internet for them yet. They NOW...JUST NOW told us that the phones are on back order and that we are just supposed to wait for them. So that made me rather mad. But on to other things.

I have been interviewing for a job at a company called Kids Stuff Marketing Inc. It is a company that manufactures and distributes kids meal toys, kids meal bags and boxes, cups, straws, place mats, point of purchase displays and other sorts of things like that. They are not really with any of the bigger companies like McDonalds. They do smaller ones like the restaurant here called The Pad, Spangles and maybe places like Bo Bo's diner. I am rather hopeful for this job. I have had my second interview and am waiting to hear back about a third interview or rather or not they will hire me. I would be making mostly outbound calls with a few inbound calls to people who are interested in the products or people that already use them so i can try to get them to extend their use of kids stuff products. It is a small family oriented place that only has 3 or 4 customer service reps right now, including the manager. I would make pretty good money there but it is quite a bit of a drive because it is basically in Pauline. Since gas is 4 dollars a gallon that is going to suck if I get it but it wont be too bad because I will have a job good enough to pay for the gas. So good luck to me I suppose. I am REALLY WANTING THIS JOB!!!

On to...The dogs...yeah the ones at the other post in my blog that look so cute, got on the kitchen table (well reese did) and got into the instant mashed potatoes that were on there, knocked over a glass of pop and got into the soft peppermint bucket. WE WERE FURIOUS. So we had to come home to clean that up...Nice of them huh?

Here are some more pictures of them for your enjoyment...
