New jobs, Old kitties, and Sweet babies, Oh my!

 MMMMkay. So these past couple of weeks have been pretty busy. I have started a  jobsy and have been learning tons of new info. I do love my position as a receptionist/accounts payable/tour giver/QA provider/filer/mail getter and all around friendly face of a nursing and rehabilitation center. What's not to love? I have 80 new grandparents! I miss teaching the littles, but I am still on my way to trying to get closer to have that diploma in my hand. It just seems like it is taking foreverandaday...and honestly, that is mostly due to being screwed around with the last school I transferred from(and if I get into detail about THAT school, I will get angry, and I just don't need that right now...so, I repeat "Serenity Now" to get me through that bad thought, breathe, annnnnnd we're good.) 
   I have also been getting ready for my momma's 50th Surprise Birthday Bash. That woman has been my everything through out my life and the LEAST I could do is celebrate her right with family, friends, Co-workers, and the residents she adores at the nursing home where she is employed. That little sneaky sneaker is catching on though, and I have had to utilize some of her co-workers to throw her off the trail she's been sniffin' out. I have hired a professional, and dear friend of mine, photographer to take pics so that no one has to miss out on the festivities by snapping away. It will also be nice to have them professionally taken and edited by someone who is really good at what she does. It's the best keepsake I can think of, and ya know this girl is gonna be a postin' fool when I get the pictures back. So no worries, I will be doing a post birthday blog.
   Everyone is getting pregs these days! I swear, I have my sister, a cousin, 3 close friends of mine and a boss whose wife just had his. Sometimes I feel that I am gonna be an old momma by the time I have babies and everyone else's kids will be half grown. Ay yie yie....All of that will happen for me someday, whether biological or adoptilogical. I just need to pull from those patience that I have in most other areas of my life. Bailey is my baby for now and as crazy as it sounds, when I bathe and groom him, I sneak in a little baby lotion to make him cuddly and yummy smelling. It also makes his fur silky and soft. He isn't really a fan... but he who feeds, makes the rules, right? Right. Bailey is doing better now, since I had to put down my 13 year-old-ball-of-orangey-cat fur-love, Binx. Binx was Bailey's buddy and he followed him EVERYwhere. Poor Binx took it all in stride and even kind of became a surrogate daddy to Bailey. On more than one occasion, I would catch Binx grooming Bailey and swishing his tail around so Bails could bat at it. When I had to make the very difficult decision to put Binx down due to kidney failure, Bailey seemed lost. I accidently called out for Binx the day after and Little Bailey came running around the corner in hopes he could find his beloved Binky. I couldn't help but cry realizing that neither one of us would ever get to see him peek around the corner to greet us. Now I am the one that Bailey follows all the time and of course that is fine with me. 
 So, I suppose that is enough rambling for one night, plus too much Binx talk and I could get all weepy again. It has been almost a month and the sting is still there as the memories of me holding his sickly body while they stuck the shot in to end his suffering. Yep, still hurts.
 I'm gonna end this on a happy note...I get to see my little Layla buggy because she is spending some time with Aunt TT this weekend! Yay for little sprouts who make me smile :) Thanks for reading!

New Blog-ginings

Well, well, well...Here I am again in the blogger world! I used to spend my time spurting out random brain droppings on a lovely little forum that we might all remember being called "Myspace"? However, Myspace became all bananacakes and I decided to try out  Facebookland. I couldn't see myself writing blogs on notes, So...I needed some new digs for my blog and here I am!
   I just want to give everyone an idea of who I am. I love many things but I would have to say that around the top of my list, I'd have to put kids, the elderly, and animals. That is the trifecta that has been keeping me employed since 1999. I have probably worked with kiddos longer than I have the elderly, but I love them both just as much. I haven't really ever worked in a job around animals, but I take care of a spoiled cat named Bailey, everydayofmylife. Which is all fine and good with me...in fact I actually like taking care of the lil' nipper.
  I am a 29, single (woot!) divorcee' who has had a fair(or should I say unfair) share of LA-HOO-SA-HER's and just guys who don't fit into my...without sounding rude and slightly unrealistic, my idea of "The guy". I am Christian and it is a wee bit more difficult to find a guy who can not only understand my choices in life, but can be willing to allow those choices to exist in a relationship between us. This does not mean that my future suitor must be a pastor, but I would like that the majors in our life to match up pretty well. So who has problems meeting these type of guys in a small, unexciting town of nowhere? That would be moi. Enough of the whining though, I have a pretty awesome life with or without a dude. I would like to be married again someday and would definitely like to have some chitlens running around in a good family home. So that is the nutshelled version of who I am. Make it a habit to stop by, put up your feet, and enjoy the randy randoms that I often overshare with anyone who is curious as to what may be floating around in my head! Thanks for reading!

Here is the big guy, Bailey Bugg
