My new resolution

September 8 is a couple of things that are recorded as important days in my life. 1st it is my oldest brothers birthday and he would be 56 years old and 2nd is the one year mark that we have been back in the US after an over seas stint with Mr Sam's company. It has been 28 years since Mike was killed on August 13, 1982 and time has been on my side. Seems like yesterday that is still fresh in my memory or what I was doing that day I got the call. The last year has been a tough year for me. I have had lots of adjustments to deal with. I hope that I can get it together enough to get my life back full guns soon. I know I would feel lots better i I did. Mr Sam has been gone for about 150 days in the last year on over seas business trips. I have put about 20,000 miles on in my car and on my second set of tires. I have taken care of lots of kids along with my kiddos. Loved every minute of it. I have had lots of alone time which isn't fun at all. Still struggling with that one. I guess this post is to all women who might be in my stage of life: Remember what you used to like to do and do it. Find a purpose in your life with out your family. Love every moment you have when you are with them. It stinks still being 2 days away from them but I have to keep going when I'm here. I've been thinking about getting a job to entertain me a little. I figure something odd might be interesting and a challenge to do. Here are some of my thoughts on where I should try to be employed by: Walmart night shift stocking shelves(I want to learn some Spanish), be a gas station junk food cashier( I don't know what the proper name would be), laundry attendant at a nursing home, work at farm and fleet country store, the car wash place. I figure these are probably fairly non stress jobs. But the gas station one might be a little intense if someone wants to rob the place. humm didn't think of that till now. I may have to think about that. My main criteria is I don't want to buy any new clothes for the new job. I'm not a clothes horse. I'd rather spend it on a fun trip. So any ideas on jobs for me to search out here in good ole Muscatine, just drop me a line and let me know. xoxoxo S
