I love my new job. I find that many of the calls are from really stupid people but I keep telling myself it's job security! LOL Kinda like the guy that was calling me on his homeless phone, being chased by his girlfriends baby's daddy. By the way, the girlfriend didn't know the name of her baby's daddy.
Nick was home on leave from Iraq for 2 weeks. He and Melissa had plans to get away for a few days by themselves but Melissa got really sick and was in the hospital for a number of days. She had a terrible kidney infection. Thankfully she got to the hospital when she did, much longer and she would have lost the kidney. She was home for several days before Nick had to return.
It was really good to see Nick, more of a relief I think. Just to see him and know that he's in one piece and in good health was wonderful. Nick called me late last week to give the good news that they are scheduled to be home sometime in June!!! Thank GOD!!!!!
Daniel had his final ROTC awards banquet last week. He opted to attend alone this year. I must admit that I was rather saddened by this. I think that perhaps he didn't want to feel like he had to choose between me and Alan to take or explain why he invited one and not the other. It actually broke my heart as Alan is turning the divorce that he wanted into something really nasty and he's drug Daniel into it by lying to him about me.
Daniel started school year as the Group Commander with the rank of Captain. Later was promoted to Major, then Lt. Colonel. Daniel received the Son's of the American Revolution award. The following is an explaination of the award. " JROTC cadets who are selected for having a high degree of merit with respect to leadership qualities, military bearing and general excellence. The recipients are selected by the Commanding Officer of the ROTC or JROTC unit." Daniel has also applied to the water park for the summer until he signs with the military.
Meet our newest family member. Her name is Boots. I took her in from a friend. This friend had several major changes in the household and Boots didn't adjust well. She is slowly adjusting to our busy loud animal filled household. She is just a doll, and believe it or not she's 2 years old....just a tiny thing.
I should be posting again, at least semi-regularly. I'm sure I will have stories to tell from some of the stupid calls we take. Though I will of course change the names and addresses to protect the stupid! LOL
Have a wonderful day, remember to thank God for all that you are blessed with. Love those around you and offer forgiveness to those who have wronged you.
