  • Maybe a more regular blog schedule now?

    Okay...so I am once again in a new place! 

    The children and I have moved into Waco....oh yeah and Robert too.  We are trying out apartment living.  So far so good...but I have only been here two nights! LOL  Got a great deal on a four bedroom apt.  It is small but I am right by the office and there are trees around...and the river is across the street. 

    I am back to my new store and working there.  I am enjoying it but it is long days.  I work 3-12hr days and then off for three days!  I stay busy the majority of the time I am there and have a lot to do...but I am loving it!

     

    Gonna keep this short....need to go swimming.....we have a pool here!!

  • wow--almost 2mths!!

    I didn't realize it has been so long since I have been here.  Life has really been busy!  I do mean BUSY!!

    I am in my last week of training....the other seven weeks have moved along pretty fast.  I spent two of those weeks in the store I will be working in.  I already miss that store and am ready to start working there. They kept trying to give me keys etc..I kept having to explain...I wasn't there just yet....I had to work through my training manual. 

    I have been staying in the Hyatt in Fort Worth.  I have totally fallen in love with this city and see myself moving up here in about 6mths-1yr.  I have been all over the place! I love the Stockyards....I am becoming very familiar with things along Hullen and getting really good about driving in traffic.  The hotel staff talk to me and call me by name.  I will miss them at the end of this week!

    Let's see---other news.......

    Mr. Bass Player who happens to be a really nice man....he and I are no longer seeing each other.  Truth be told, I am madly in love with Robert and am now with him and loving every moment of it.  Actually bells will be ringing for us July 3, 2010.  I am excited. 

    I am living with my parents through the end of  this month.  We decided it was silly for me to pay rent and bills for a house I am never in.....so.....we moved in.

    Children are finishing up their last week of school and then will go to their dads for a week.  I miss them already!! *sniffle/pout*

    I think that is about it!

  • My life has changed

    Well things are definitely changing for the Conner family.

    Still dating Mr. Bass player...enjoying the use of his lap top at the moment!  Thank you Mr. Bass Player.  However, being totally honest, with the way things are going, I am not sure how things will work out.  My life as I know it is totally changing and I am not sure yet where Mr. Wonderful will fit in.  He knows my concerns as I have already totally freaked out on him once.

    So here is the BIG news.  I am no longer working at the WalMart in Marlin.  I was accepted into the Assistant Manager trainee program and beginning tomorrow I will be training in Fort Worth.  I will then be working in a store in Waco.

    I am doing not so well today as I am totally freaking out in regards to what all needs to be done!  The list is a mile long and I am in Ft. Worth and still need to go home before coming back up in the morning.

    My children will stay with my parents while I am training.  I have had my mail stopped.  Had the dog moved to the neighbors.  Gave the school a new list of numbers to contact and informed them I would be out of pocket for 8wks.

    The amazing part.....my pay doubles.  My family will no longer be below the poverty line.  I will be able to fully support my family and I am so excited about it.  The doors of endless possibilities are before us and we are boldly walking through. 

    I have no idea what our future holds, but I do know for once in my life and my children's we will be doing well.

  • Things are still great

    I had another wonderful weekend with Mr. Bass player.  What a delightful individual.  I met him early in the day and ran errands with him in Fort Worth.  We ate at a place downtown called "Billy Denton's"  Food was okay but the company was better. We headed over to Arlington to a guitar place where we looked at ....surprise....guitars! There are some EXPENSIVE guitars out there!  We chatted so much.  Really great conversation and jokes.  Lots of fun and laughter. I cooked supper for us that evening.  I was soooo nervous!!  I haven't cooked for some one else in ages.  And I do mean ages.  I did discover I am unable to cook for two people so Mr. Bass player has been enjoying leftovers.  Saturday we went to eat and then to Wal-Mart of all places.  I was a good girl and didn't point out all the things that needed fixing...as that is my job in my store! LOL  Later that afternoon I left to come home..which meant I went straight to work.

    The children are doing great and are ready for spring break.  They will spend it with their dad.  I am glad they are getting the time to spend with him.  One thing I have always made sure of is that they see their father and spend time with him.  And trust me....it's a week off for me as well.

    Work is just work.  BLUH!!  But hey, it's a paycheck and in this economy...I will take what I can get.

    Okay...well I think you are caught up now.  I need to get back home.....

  • Having fun

    Well I am at my parents mooching off of their internet!  Dang I am a good internet moocher!! LOL 

    I am doing great!  Tomorrow I am headed to Fort Worth to spend the day and night!  I can't wait!  I am really starting to enjoy the big city life! I went up there last weekend and had a blast!  An absolute blast!  I went to a bar called "Hole in the Wall"  where they offer "burgers and blues"  Oh it was wonderful!  All different types of people from all different walks of life.  I saw my friend play.  Amazing what that man can do with his fingers!  He plays bass guitar!  I had forgotten how much I enjoy blues music!  I had such a fantastic time. 

    The children got report cards yesterday.  Lyns made her first B.  She was NOT a happy camper.  She was the only six-grader to make all A's last semester.  Drake was also A's and B's and J and Alex were A's, B's and one C.  But hey...J's reading grade went from a 62 to an 85.  And Alex is has finally figured out he has to pass Language Arts.  I have really enjoyed seeing how well they have taken off in school.

    I had a day last week where I sat down and cried over my past life.  I missed the house cleaning and schooling the children and baking etc....  But I did not miss my marriage or the woman I used to be.  So I put on my big girl panties and went to work. 

    I have met a really neat man...the bass player! *wink* and am enjoying getting to know him.  I so enjoy this dating thing.  He has met Lyns but not the boys.  I am not in any hurry for him to meet them.  He can actually get me to laugh out loud which is a rare treat for me.  He treats me like a queen.  I think I will keep him for at least a day or two! *wink*  It is wonderful to have intellegent conversations, discuss books etc...  I am really enjoying the time I have had with him. 

    Well I have a sudden urge to go book shopping.  I guess I need to make some phone calls.  There is a book I want to share with Mr. Bass player!
