Journey

In 4 day's my son will be graduating from High School and beginning his own journey in life. I'm sad that he has grown up so quickly and sad that the year's have gone by entirely way to fast. But at the same time I am curious as to what the next chapter in his life has in it's folds for him. He want's to be a diesel mechanic which I don't have a problem with that cause it will be a good paying job. He has a college picked out that specializes in the auto mechanic industry. They also specialize in Nascar stock cars's which I told him he should consider that also, so that he can get a job working with Nascar and get me tickets for all the Sprint Cup Races around the country...... hahahahaha (yes I'm a big Nascar fan)

 This summer is going to be a busy one for us! My parents are coming in on Thursday. My favorite aunt on Friday. Graduation on Friday night. And the beginning of graduation party's starting on Sunday for my cousins son whom is also graduating this week. My parents are moving to AZ on Saturday. Then a month straight of constant 12 hour shifts for me. The last weekend of June is my sons graduation party and the following day we leave for our yearly camping trip. Then 3 more weeks of constant 12 hour shifts and then off to Cali we go for a week to spend some much needed time with my sister and her family. ~hopefully~ Then after that it's time for my son to go on his journey in life. ~sigh~

I just hope his adulthood brings many pleasure's in life and not to many hardship's that so many of us has seen over the past few years.

As I'm typing this I'm completely distracted by other things and realize that I'm blabbering a tad bit. I will post more this week.

Trust

So I'm on a 5 pound restriction which isn't work related. Yesterday 3 hours into my shift after I put the drs slip on our hr reps desk he calls my cell phone and asks me to call him. So I walk away from my press and went up to hr (he forgot that I work 1st shift) and proceeds to tell me that because this is not work related that they can't accommodate me at work and tells me to go home.... Ok whatever! I think that's b.s. Cause I happen to know for a fact that they have accommodated many other employees. But I'll keep my mouth shut on this. 

A week ago I took my spoiled bratty dog to the vets cause she had scratched her ear raw and I suspected that she has allergies. So the vets gave me some ointment for her ear which has pretty much healed. But, the other night my friend noticed the same thing on her neck only it was way worse. So I took her back to the vet this morning and they shaved her neck, cleaned it up and the vet now fully agrees with me. Ugh! Good thing k9 allergy meds are way cheaper then human meds! She's now on 2 different types of allergy meds.

Right after I woke up this morning and was getting ready to walk out the door to head to the vets a friend from work texts me and asks me if I wanna make some money. Another employee got fired for something he said to her this morning and because he knows where she lives she was worried about him trying to retaliate and go to her house. She wanted someone to go to her house and watch her kids and house just to be on the safe side! I completely don't blame her on that! Her kids have never met me so I am glad that she trusts me enough to go to her house and watch them without them not knowing me. Trust is a key word in not only relationships but friendship to. :)

Hello 2014

2013 in review: My son turned 18, I financed my very first suv and I love it! My spoiled dog was hit by a truck and survived. She could barely walk for a month and had to have help getting into sitting positions and laying positions and had to be lifted to a standing positions but she survived and that's what matters! I found out that I have high blood pressure which took 5-6 months to get under control. My son started his senior year of high school :( my dr discovered that I have seriously high cholesterol and told me to lose weight and change my diet to see if I can bring it down myself before deciding on putting me on meds for that. I didn't have the best year in 2013 but I got by.

I have many New Years resolutions for 2014 and I will stick to all of them.

I will take that weight off plus some. I am changing the way I eat slowly but surely.

I will succeed in quitting smoking.

And most importantly I am slowly working on making my finances 100% healthy again.

I have a goal to buy a house in the next few years and one way or another I'm going to make that happen.

And I vow to post on a regular basis on here rather then once or twice a year. :)

My son will be graduating in May and I'm completely unprepared and not ready for it. I'm flying my sister and her family out here to help celebrate at his graduation party and I'm completely excited and anxious for them to get here! Not only for the family time but so I can have some much needed  sister time with my baby sis. I'm moving my parents in with me in the spring to free up money for them and for myself. But I don't think my sister yet knows about this which I don't know if that will upset her or not.

Mother Nature started 2014 off with a winter weather advisory for us and the snow is so beautiful right now. I took a picture earlier but unfortunately I can't figure out how to upload a picture of it from my iPad so I guess I will have to leave the picture out that I took earlier.

I hope that 2014 brings everyone happiness, good health both physically and financially! 

             Happy New Year!!!
