Update

Why is it that when one part of your life goes a little bit right, something else falls apart?!# Basically, I have been kicking butt at work. My original plan was to complete at least two cases per week, but Spelling Bee caught on to my game so now she is trying to complete two per week. That's why I have been focusing on three per week for the past two weeks!... My fast work is making them look bad, so the She-Devils have gotten off their butts instead of only doing the minimum on their cases... ha ha @ even Betty Crocker who has the brownest nose and thinks she is so perfect. I over-hear them saying the same words to their sponsors that I do. LOL... I see them surprised that I know the names of some of their kids. LOL... After all, I am the ONLY one who talks to the boys everyday instead of once a week...
@->----
I have a great relationship with my boys. They can see how hard I work for them... Unlike my co-workers, everything that I do is not for my own glory or to look good in front of my supervisors. Everything that I do is for the good of my boys and they know it... Several direct care workers have told me that many of the boys wish that I could be their case worker instead of Betty Crocker or Spelling Bee. Both of them have had boys that have run away. I hope I never have a boy that runs away. That would be really hard for me, to know that a boy didn't have enough faith in me to help him...
@->----
I am not sure, but I think that even the Eye has noticed the increase in my performance. One thing for sure is that the Eye is a jealous god! He told us that if we went above him, he will write us up and he doesn't want us to talk to any other people about our cases except for him. That's just stupid that he wants to be in so much control. I have seen that in women bosses, but a man boss? That's just wierd.
@->----
The thing that I am hurt about, I cannot write about right now. Thank God that I have work to drown myself in...

My best friend came down from Corpus Christi to visit with me on Saturday. We went to the outlet mall, and we shared a meal at Chili's. All I've got to say is that my feet hurt. LOL... But it was a good little escape...
@->----
My brother's truck is not working. Mother is all worried about him, as always, but especially now because of his truck, because he makes a living cutting lawns and doing landscaping. It's funny how she always tries to protect him and rescue him, even if he is 54 years old. LOL
@->----
What's even more funny is that she has ten acres, her house is a patchwork, and yet, there is not even room enough for her. All that property and all those rooms, but there is no room for anyone...
@->----
That got me to thinking about my apartment... God said that we are supposed to expand our tent... To save money, I have been renting a one-bedroom apartment. Perhaps the reason why I have not found an apartment is because I need to expand my tent... I know that it is more expensive, but I have wasted six months of thinking "what if." I have been abusing Jones, going back and forth to a job that is an hour away. I have been abusing my body by eating only what I can put into a refrigerator. Yes, I have made up my mind that I am going to put the deposit down on that two-bedroom townhouse. Somehow, I will sacrifice costs on other things so I can afford to live there. The one thing I was counting on, however, is for my brother to help me to move, and now, his truck is not working, so I will need to find an alternative way to move.
@->----
Deeply apologetic at falling behind on making tags. Will get to it asap.
@->----
Thanks for listening.

Where there is a will, there will be a way! You've certainly proved it with work and I know the other stuff you need to get done will follow! You have grit and determination! You go girl! Hang in there! God Bless!

I'm a firm believer in living close to work. Commutes become part time jobs and another hassle to deal with twice a day. Need to have home nearby...

HANG IN THERE...

Don't know what it is about mom's that enable their sons..my bro is 46 and mom still treats him like a baby "we all have to help him"...uh, no WE don't! Kudos to you for sticking with the job and doing your best for your kids. They need a voice.

Thank goodness you have come to the decision to move nearer work. when the Lord provided you with the job and has seen how well you are working with these boys he will be there for you when you need him to help with the move...HE WILL PROVIDE...but of course it will be in his own time !!
Much Love Sybil xx
