the wind is blowing and whistling in the chimney!!!

Its dark and yucky out too!!!

I hate it!!!

Have to go to a meeting at work this afternoon as I do once a month to find out whats new,,,

NOTHING as usual!!!

Just alot of complaining about NO MONEY,,,,

SOO???
They have to decide sometime WHERE THE THE MONEY IS TO GO!!

But they aren't very smart about where they put it!!!

More people on the floor taking care of the old folks and not into the politics !!!

We get more and more paper work and no time to do the job we are hired to do,,

no wonder the old folks families aren't satisfied!!!

NO WIN JUST LOSE!!

Noone seems to listen either!

OH WELL!!!

Then a work night and then a few days off then monday night,,,,

then off 8 days!!! YAY!!!

I do enjoy me days off,, just relax

and do what I want to in between the need to dos!!

Well folks goin upstairs to light a few tealights and have a cup of tea with Hunny

in it as Pooh bear

would like it!!!

and maybe knit a few rows on my sweater!!!

Have a good one LUV AND HUGS!!!!

CHIN UP!!

Thought maybe I would check out and see if any one

made a comment on my Halloween blog,,,

NOPE!!

Oh well!!!

I did see that there are a few that pushed the like button on facebook.

Well I called mom yesterday and had a nice chat...

I maybe far away but,,

I do feel alittle bad about being this far away and

knowing that she needs help!!!

I know lil brother does all he can and one of the older ones works his arse off

all the time yo make ends meet,,, I appreciate it BELIEVE ME!!!!

but they are several

that live closer and in the same town! and do NOTHING!!!!

they only come to visit when they want something!

and a "sister" that lives at home,, ya sure she works,,,,

but does absolutly NUTHIN to help!!!

Drives me nuts!!!

Nothing I can do

about it,

AND mom isn't getting any younger

and hasn't the best of health,,,

so It's sort of expected that they do what they can to help her in any way!!!

Enough complaining!!!

I have promised to try to call her more often,,,,

we talked about 25 minutes and talked about Halloween

and the new puppy in the family,,,

JASPER!! Adorable!!

Liam lost his Best buddy Jake this year( he had cancer) and has missed him something awful!! He was one smart dog!!!

He was a coool dog!!

just wait till ya see jasper,, cute as a button!!!

GOTTA LUV EM!!!!

Have a good day!!! I'm gonna try!!!!

HUGS!!!!
