Posting Is Hard ( with no computer )

I have been trying to post as much as possible for the post a day month. But it is hard with my computer being down. Dave still doesn't have it fixed. He keeps saying, It's not talking to him yet. Whatever that means. Anyway, I posted three posts on the sixteenth, so maybe that makes up the 17th and 18th. I will be out of work all next week and the week after. So if you don't see another post for a while it will be because I didn't get my computer back today. Pray that I will. I can't see myself going without it for two weeks. Its worse than cell phones. Do you remember when we didn't have cell phones? I wonder sometimes, how did we get along? Ha Ha! Anyway, if anyone is leaving comments in my c-box, I can't read them right now. For some reason, my c-box is surf-controlled from corp and I can't see it. But I can see Ambre's and Becky's, go figure.
Well, I'm going to sign off and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hopefully I will be on tomorrow on my own computer. Bye!

Computers

I wish I had more fonts to play with on this thing. Anyway, I miss my computer. I am thankful for Dave Dufresne, who is working on my computer and he doesn't charge me anything. But I always buy him a special gift for doing it. Usually a small wizard statue. He's known around here as the C&A Wizard. Only now I guess it would be the IAC Wizard, since C&A is no more. Things are not looking good around here. We will be off for two weeks, Christmas week and New Years week. Some will still be out the week after as Toyota is shut down that week. Barry, my boss has mentioned that our corp office is making inquiries into our earnings at this site. He is afraid that they are about to get rid of one person and that will be me. I can't afford to lose my job, although I would like to stay home for awhile. But if I give it up, I will lose my 10 year seniority and my insurance and if they ever decide to hire me back, it will be at a lower wage and position doing something I can't handle all the time, like receiving. I will never be at the level I am now. I don't understand why they wouldn't let Barry go. He will be retiring soon and they will have to hire a new manager and I am already here and knowledgeable in everything. I think the only thing that will save me is for Jack Davis to stand up and say no way is Jennifer leaving. I know a whole lot more about this plant than Barry and even some of the people who have been here for years.

Todays Post

Well, today is Sunday and I am still without computer. I am using Ambre's right now. This is going to be short. For Saturday I am thankful for my daughter. She is my best friend. For Sunday I am thankful for laughing babies.

Had to share.......

I just had to share this. It's very uplifting!

Comments

The last comment left on my blog was Nov 22. Apparently no one is visiting or they just don't want to leave a comment. A comment every once in a while is nice so that I know that someone is visiting. I try to visit everyone's page either everyday or at least once a week. If they have a new post, I try to leave a comment. Lord, I am thankful for being able to type on my blog right now.

Rainy Days

Today is Thursday and it has been raining here for three days. Flash flood watches in effect til this evening. I'm really not complaining. I love the rain and also the fact that it is not 27 degrees outside. B-r-r-r-r-!!! It has warmed up nicely and was 60 degrees on my front porch this morning. Have not worn a coat for two days. My problem with this is - why couldn't we have gotten some of this back in the growing season when we needed it. Things didn't grow very well this year in the garden. The grass turned brown and some of the trees lost their leaves before fall. Although, we did have a beautiful fall ( late of course, but beautiful just the same). Today I am thankful for the rain, which we still need very much.

Wednesday Happenings!

Well, Jamie came thru his surgery OK. he's back home and doing well. Thanks for your prayers. Today has been a disturbing kind of day. Barry, my boss, told me that there are some things going on at corp that he is worried about. They have been asking a lot of questions about our site. With the auto industry in trouble, the trickle down effect is beginning to work here also. We have lost a lot of business here at IAC and there have been a lot of layoffs. We are not doing as well as we have been and they are wanting to cut this site back to one person. That means I may lose my job. Please pray for me. I really need to work. I am thankful I have a job and would like to keep it.

Patience and Control

Well, my computer has died. So I guess I will be posting when I can. I have missed Sat., Sun., and Monday's blog of thanks-giving. I will have to take my computer to get it fixed and this is not the best time of year to be doing that. So it will have to wait.
Got a lot done at home on Saturday. Sunday church was great. Chris came home sick from his Mom's. He caught a stomach virus and it threw his sugar out of whack. I couldn't get it to come down so I took him to the hospital yesterday morning. We were there for 7 hrs. He's doing fine now. For Saturday thanks, I am thankful that I was able to work in the house some. It was hard, thought I would die a couple of times. Having a bad time with asthma. New meds Doc gave had not kicked in yet.
Sunday, I was thankful that the Lord led me with wisdom to do a good job teaching the sunday school class. Monday, I was thankful for the doctors that got Chris thru his little trial. And today I am thankful that I feel better ( meds have kicked in). Also, please pray for Jamie. He is having his shoulder surgery today and he's really scared. I will I could be there but I could not get off.

Bloggin' When I Can

I am having to post blogs when I can. My computer at home got a virus. Well, Kojak got that fixed but then an advertisement bug got me. My computer has 78% free space on it but all it can do is hang up and is so slow, its worse than low speed dial up. Ads are still popping up every once in a while. I guess I will have to have it wiped clean and redone. Just can't afford it right now. Anyway, that's why there are no pictures right now with my posts 'cause most of them are being done at work. I am thankful for my computer at work.

OH NO!!!!!!! I Forgot!

OH NO! I forgot! I got so busy yesterday afternoon with having to pick Annabelle up so she could go to Bible Study with me. And getting supper and picking up the other ladies that go with us. I forgot to blog. So I'm doing two thank yous today. I am thankful for my little Annabelle, who informed her Mama the other day that she HAD to go the school church with Nana on Wednesday night. She does my heart good. I am also thankful for MarySue and Jean who ride with me to church on Wednesday nights.
