I'm BAAAAAAACK..........

Hello, everyone!  I'm back from a very busy and productive two days.  Monday, I went to Conroe for the job interview and skills test, and everything went well.  For someone who's rusty by about two years, I scored an 86.  Ms. Castro sent me home with a few (hundred!) more forms to fill out and a request for my credit report, which I downloaded from the TX Work source computer this morning.  I went to the post office and sent everything off, then went to the dentist for my oral surgery.  I thought that I was going to be swollen and in a lot of pain, but I felt NOTHING during the whole procedure!  When I got home, I had taken a long rest, and I am actually able to eat, drink, and talk!  The man is a GENIUS!!!!!!  He is definitely worth the money!

I received two more job offers from employers themselves who are pursuing my abilities, so I am going to fill out the applications and send them off, too.  I have learned that I must never allow myself to become settled on just one offer, because something may come up that may disqualify me, and I'll be left to look for another opportunity long after the good ones are already dried up.  Besides, I may decide to take another offer that is closer to home, etc., if I have those options. 

Matthew is ON again.....Let's just say that we are in agreement, this time, if ya know what I mean!!!!!! Le Rowr Rowr!  HA HA HA HA!

My daughters started the after school program today.  They were released at 6:15 PM, as promised.  They are also allowed to remain in their classroom tutorials, joining the other kids for the remainder of the program.  For $52 a month ($13 for each kid), that's cool.  I couldn't ask for a better child care program!

So far, 2006 for us is brimming with promise and opportunity.  But the future is always unexpected, so I'm holding on to my seat belt.  Good nite, y'all!
