Hello, everyone! Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend! I know I sure did!
My husband planned a "date weekend" for me! It was kid-free (girls stayed with Grandma in South Houston), dinner, music, movies, and...well...you know the rest.... 
LOL LOL LOL LOL! It was some much needed time together, and much needed rest, that was long overdue. I enjoyed every minute of it!
My daughters started summer school/after school program today, and from what I heard from them, they had a GREAT time!!! They were pooped, though....Maya went to bed early! LOL
I went to the Wal-Mart that is ten minutes away from my house, and they claim that there are several positions available that they can place me in. The co-manager wants to put me in inventory control here, since I was a Merchandise Supervisor at the New Orleans store, and my expertise is, well, inventory control (LOL). They are having my availability information and evaluations faxed to them from my store for review, and I am waiting for them to call me in. I have to interview for this position, but I am willing to take whatever position they have available; I just want to WORK!
I also found out from a friend of mine that our store received bonus checks! Why am I surprised? Because after working so hard to prep the store for inventory last year, some Wal-Mart big wigs came down and spoke to the associates in a store meeting. They claimed that although we did an excellent job of making sure that EVERYTHING in the store was counted, we had a HUGE amount of shrinkage. Shrinkage is lost or unaccounted for merchandise. The losses cut into whatever we receive at bonus time, and because shrinkage was so high, we were not expected to receive a bonus check for that year. So I was so happy to hear that we did get one after all, and from what I heard, it was pretty substantial! I didn't ask them how much my check was when I called; but I did fax my address to them so that they could mail it to me.
I am washing clothes and fixing dinner now. The pork chops smell SO good! LOL I will try to read all of your journals before the end of the week. Oh, and Shermeen let me know that I have an ad for smileys showing up at the bottom of my journal entries! Sorry about that, guys! The software that I am using is free, and this is their way of advertising their product. She says that the ad isn't all that annoying (I was about to stop using it! LOL), so please excuse them. I am not able to see the ads on my own computer, but I did see them when I pulled my journal up on someone else's computer. God bless you all, love you, hope your weekend was a good one; PLEASE tell me about it!!!! Bye!

So happy that you and your husband could spend a nice holiday together. You guys really deserve it!!! Also glad your store got a bonus because that means they can afford to give raises!!!!! LOL
I don't mind the smileys at all. Sheesh ~ I've seen worse advertisements than that!!!
I was away for a week. I went to NY to see my fiance's brother and his brother's family. We had a nice time. I missed out on seeing some of my own family but hey, that's life I guess. Can't be in two places at one time and I can make it up on the Fourth!
Be well!

I think your date weekend sounds great! I can tell just from that (and all the other stuff you've told us) that you and your husband are very much in love and have a great relationship. i dont recall reading an entry where you're complaining about him and declaring you hate him. and i think thats a wonderful environment for you daughters to grow up in. they're able to see what its like for two people to really be in love and your DH is showing them how a man should treat a woman.
One of the things that happens when two people are married and going about a routine, is that the romance dies. because there isn't time for it or a need because you're already married. but that's so wrong. you need to make time and being married isn't an excuse to stop the flowers or the candle light dinners. So i'm glad that you two took some time out to cherish each other and enjoy each other.
Last weekend was a busy one for me. I was working non stop. so i'm glad that this weekend i have some time off to recover from surgery. my brother and niece came over last weekend, boy is that girl a character. she cries if she's taken away from her parents. and i mean, my sitting on one side of the room with her and my brother on the other. she's scream and try to get back to him. and he wonders why we don't volunteer to have her over for the night. Last time we did that she screamed well into the early hours of the morning. cried herself to sleep. not a fun night! lol! but this sunday is her first birthday so we're all going round to celebrate. i'll bring my cam and do a jland entry.
Its good news about Walmart, i know how determined you are to work. And for all that you've been through, i think you were meant to go back there to work. I'm wishing you the best of luck for your interview, though i'm certain you won't need it because you're more than capable!
I hope the girls are doing good and that you enjoyed your pork chops!
Shermeen xx
