My interview

I went to my interview today and it sounded like it was going well until I brought up me having a service dog. I probably wont get the job because I need a service dog. I guess I am just going to have to find a job I hate and do that instead of a job doing what I love. I was trying to find out info about service dogs in daycares in Texas and cant find anything about if employees can have them in daycares. I did find the minimum standards and it said that daycares can have animals as long as its posted and kids wash hands after touching and handling animals and what animals can't be in a daycare. I just wanna enjoy my job and not hate it. The type of job I want to do is to work with kids and/or animals. I am so frustrated it isn't funny I wanna cry and scream and kick and hit and do stuff I cant do.

My Protector

This is my protector. His name is Chip. Ever since Shocker passed he has slept in my room. Shocker always slept "in" my closet and that is where he can be found at times too. He also sleeps at my dresser that is at the head of my bed. I am kind of worried of what is going to happen when I get my new puppy come July. Is he going to just give the position up? Is he going to fight for the position? What is he gonna do? I will have to see when I come home with my new puppy.

Remodeling update

The roof to my dad's ham radio room is getting put on. The roof is half on and the carpenter said he would probably be in the kitchen on Friday. They are moving faster than I thought it would go but hey thats fine with us. Our cat, Houdini, hides in my parent's room all day or in my older brother's room.Houdini is sleeping on material my mom brought home from my grandmother's house. Mom is in the middle of sorting the fabrics and putting them away.

The foundation.

The framing of the new room.

Red string to show where to put roof.

The back of the house.

I'll put pictures up later of what they did today. Roof is almost finished except for shingles.

PISSED

I THOUGHT I HAD A NEW NIGHT ATTENDANT. SHE FOUND OUT SHE WON'T GET PAID FOR A MONTH AND SAID I CAN'T DO THAT. SHE TOLD ME THIS 10 MINUTES AGO. SHE KNEW THE PAY SCHEDULE THIS MORNING. WHY COULD SHE HAVE TOLD ME THIS MORNING SO I COULD HAVE COVERAGE AT NIGHT? THIS PISSES ME OFF. NOW I HAVE TO FIND A NEW ATTENDANT. I HAVE ONE THAT I LIKE BUT WE WILL SEE. I DON'T DO THE PAY SCHEDULE THAT AGENCY DOES AND I HAVE NO SAY IN WHEN THEY GET PAID. I UNDERSTAND WHERE SHE IS COMING FROM BUT LIKE MY MOM SAID WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO FIND A PLACE OF WORK THAT DOESN'T DO IT THAT WAY.

Remodeling

We are remodeling our house. So far it is exciting and not to bad. Within the next two weeks my dad's new radio room will be built and be able to walk into it. I doubt it will be totally finished in two weeks. Then we start on the kitchen. In the middle of this remodel I will be getting my new baby(puppy dog) and I can't wait. I will keep you updated on the remodel and here are a few pictures to show the craziness around here.

Tweety Bird

We had a visitor yesterday, A BIRD, in our house. Yesterday my dad let out dog out to hurry up and a bird flew in. At 6 am I woke up hearing my dad yell "No, No, NO!!!!!!!" Since my dad has heart problems I was kinda freaking out thinking he was having a heart attack until he said a bird had flown into our house. After a few minutes my mom tried to help my dad and they thought he had flown out. Yesterday afternoon mom heard "Tweedy" chirping so she tries and gets it out with no luck. Once dad gets home he tries with no luck. Well we went to bed with the bird still in the house. This morning we try again with no luck. Mom and I had errands to run so we did them. Mom came back and sewed a little bit. After awhile she heard chirping again and saw the bird had finally came down from the ceiling. She was able to get close enough to get a towel around the bird and take him outside. So tonight we are bird free.

It's a Boy!!!

I went with Desirae to her sex ultrasound today and we saw she is having a boy. She really wanted a girl. The person that came to get her for the ultrasound was VERY rude. She saw me and said she can't go in with us but after we can bring her in. After she said that she said we don't have anyone to watch her while we are doing your ultrasound. HELLO I can watch my self. Those are the people I hate; they see someone in a chair and thing the have NO BRAIN. Um I graduated college cum laud. Those people urk me. Other than that 2 months/29 days/14 hours/2 minutes until I meet my new baby.

Kitchen Remodel

We just learned our remodel starts in a week and a half. The told us beginning of May but hey maybe this will keep my mind OFF of me getting my doggy and make time go faster. I hope.

A "ruff" day

I was ok today until my mom yelled at me. I am so ready to leave. I want to give up on everything. Life sucks. I can't get a job, I can't get an attendant for some stupid reason. Its not like I'm not trying. They are the ones who are the flakes. You know how they say employments going down the drain; its not not having enough jobs its people don't wanna work. OK vent over I feel somewhat better.

Many, Many, Many Thoughts

Today was a busy day. I had therapy, nurse visit (I'm okay), and a doctors appointment. Doctor says I am a okay. I found out that I didn't get the job I went to an interview last week for. Oh well next time I will get it.

Attendant that was suppose to come last night never did. He is not my attendant so I am back to square one. I will fax and put ads out tomorrow. Its a never ending saga for me.

I also had a bitchy moment today for a few minutes after seeing a commercial of someone I know saying how awesome and great she is. Also how wonderful everything is. Well why can't I have it as easy as she seems to have it. I guess its because I don't have as big a self esteem as she has. I am trying to get a better one. Tomorrow is a new day.

Oprah's show

I am not a big Oprah fan/watcher but I saw that todays show was on puppy mills. I thought it would be interesting to watch. Well at the beginning of the show they had a slide show of Oprah's dog, Sophie, who just passed. I held it together until my friend Desi said Hey she was as old as Shocker. Then I just lost it. I know I am still grieving but I hate crying at seeing an animal or even another lab. My new baby will help me out. Shocker will always have a special paw print on my heart.

clearing up job comment

The thing of jobs not hiring stems from my very first interview I had. I went for an interview at a vets office for the position of receptionist. When I left the interview I felt like as soon as they saw my chair they didn't want me. It was just their questioning and the vibe I got. I know people want me because I have gotten stuff said to me at interviews like: "You have what we are looking for.", "Your resume looks great.", and "I see you have great computer skills." Its just a feeling I get I guess just from the first interview that has given me a sour taste to interviews. I know I will find the right job that will give me a chance.

Frustrated

No one showed up Monday. The one person I did interview will get the job. He will be my first male attendant but he seems professional and fun to be around. Now I have to find a back up for him and my day attendant because the one I have might be leaving. Great fun. I also have to find some one to take my day attendants place while she is on maternity leave. UGH!!!

I did go to an interview for myself today. I do hope they at least give me a chance. It seems I am good enough on paper but not good enough to be with the company because of my chair. GRRRRRR!!!!

I tried to be sneaky about a question I asked Michelle and didn't go anywhere. Hehehe Thats what I get for trying to be sneaky :P
