It's been almost two months since my last blog posting. Nothing much had changed since then until recently. In about a week my son-in-law will be home from Afghanistan. It will be so nice to have all of my family back in the good ol' US of A. I have missed having him around and I know his wife and children have missed him terribly.
As much as they have missed him, I am missing my other daugther and her family. They live in Texas and we don't get to see them much. Some of that has changed recently as I have gotten to use Skype. I was able to watch our granddaughter blow out her birthday candle (a big #8) and open a couple of presents. Things I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. We hope to get to Houston this Christmas but there is still a lot of time between now and then.
My closest family is my husband right here is Prior Lake along with my own mom who lives just a couple of miles away. It is nice to have her close by. I've taken her to lunch on the spur of the moment and we've gone shopping just because. Bruce and I have done little things around the house that we can afford to do without the benefit of my income. I hope that changes soon as I really want to work and bring home a paycheck.
So another summer is upon us for me to have family fun, visits with family and a lot of sun. So, bring on Summer 2010, I can hardly wait!

THE FUTURE
Only God knows what the future will hold for me. I'm still unemployed and searching for a job, looking for other means to make money and trying to work around the house while I am home. I don't like not having a job. I've gained weight, wear the same clothes over and over again and can't seem to get the laundry done even though I'm home day after day.
I talked with a friend yesterday and decided to make a list of things I want to get done. Maybe by having this in front of me every day, it will give me a reason to get up and get going each day. If I'm able to cross off something on the list now and then, I will feel some kind of accomplishment. The same feeling you get at work for a task completed. I think I need that in my life right now.
Some of the things on my list right now are: looking to find our camera (it's been misplaced), making a wedding towel cake to try to sell on e-bay to "check out the waters" in that arena, finish my laundry and clean up the laundry room, clean out various closets (bathroom, hallway, kitchen, etc...), work on Chloe T stuff (i.e. decor for Gala, find golfers, help Jen find place for Chloe's Carnival, etc...) and the list goes on. If I can accomplish even one of these items in the next couple of days, I will be estatic!
Although the future of my employment is uncertain, I know I have a husband that loves me, kids and grandkids I love and I know I have something to offer this world (it just hasn't presented itself yet).
