I have received two checks from the government. Ever since I lost my job on Feb 29<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> the news says we are at the beginning of a recession. I am there and I totally agree. No one is hiring and if they are I am up against 50 people for every job. The job that I am trying to get someone with a Masters Degree is getting just so they continue to be in the work force. I have had to make a decision that I am going to have to start at a far less salary than what I left at just to get back into the working world.<br /><br />On to bigger and better. I have gone from full-time career woman to full-time mom. I don't mind this but it is a huge transition! I am going a little crazy.... I love my kids but I love working to... it gives me that sense of accomplishment that I so desire. I have gone from dealing with personnel issues every day to dealing with diaper issues. Which one sounds more appealing to you?? Plus one pays one doesn't.<br />I have however gotten really caught up on projects that I have started. We redid the play ground that is in the backyard, that is huge... also I have finished a lot of knitting projects and started some new ones.<br />I have been walking more, gardening more, and getting really caught up with my friends and family.<br /><br /><br />I will be posting some pictures of the playground and some of my knitting items to share...Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-18872503388071175972008-02-25T12:11:00.000-08:002008-02-25T12:20:56.624-08:00Job Hunting SucksFor anyone out there that is looking for a Job can agree that it is very depressing! Rejection after rejection after rejection. I heard that for every $10, 000 you can expect to look for a month. How depressing. I have a college <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">degree, </span> I have a lot to offer, and I have tons of experience and I can not get a job. I have been looking aggressively for 2 months, some really good interviews but they always want something else. More accounting skills, offer less money, or more management skills.<br />Cut me some slack here people. I am a hard worker, dedicated person. Employers need to just take a chance on a few of the good ones.<br />I mean I can understand how people fall into depression looking for a job. There is only so much that one person can take before they start feeling like a failure or not good enough.<br />It is a really scary thing not to have a job! Really scary, how do people make it??<br /><br />Enough of my ranting! I had to get it out so I can get back to finding a job.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-9542392263214750292008-02-01T05:38:00.000-08:002008-02-01T05:56:23.004-08:00My CommitmentI have committed to myself and a friend of mine that I am going to do the 3 Day 60 mile walk for Breast Cancer Awarness and Research. This horrible disease takes the life of so many women each year that this is how I am going to help. I am going to raise money and walk to help find a cure. Pink ribbons and all.<br />So with that said, I have started to train now to be ready for 20 miles a day for 3 days.<br /><br />I came across a blog yesterday of a women, 28 years old that blogged about her fight with breast cancer, losing her breasts, and dealing with the fact that she will never have children because of it. I realized at that moment that I am doing this for her. I can't imagine what she went through and I will not even try but to compare my problems to it. But that is why I am walking to help find a cure and to do what I can.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-39262086534751389112008-01-23T18:39:00.000-08:002008-01-23T18:50:58.315-08:00My Roller Coaster JobI got a promotion this year and switched jobs. I was very excited to see what lay upon the horizon with my new endeavor. Part of my interview I made the comment "I love to be challenged in my job". WOW did I ever eat my words!<br />So the situation is this, I started this new job mid year thinking it would take a few months to get things in order and then it would level out. We are now about 10 months into this job and it is still a roller coaster ride.<br />To top it all off the company is restructuring and my job is going to be eliminated. First it was December 31st, then <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">January</span> 31st, and now it is February 29<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>. UN <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">freaking</span> believable! (keeping this g rated for the kids) Heres the real kicker, I have to train my replacement. I know it does not make sense to train a new person when a job is getting eliminated. I don't get it either.<br />It would be ok if I was getting laid off, I can sit home and collect unemployment and look for a job, but they won't lay me off they keep stringing me along.....<br />Have you ever heard of a company that does that to someone. I will be happy to be done with this roller coaster of a company!<br />On to bigger and better American things.

He picked one of them and then he said "Mommy can we give the other one to the people that need it?" When I asked him who he was talking about he said "You know the people that don't have much to eat." He has been learning in school about Thanksgiving and why we should be thankful for what we have. The school is also collecting cans for needy families. He wanted to give his candy to the needy families. What an amazing son! When he was telling me about being thankful he quoted a scripture to me about in all things give thanks.<br />It is amazing to me that my 5 year old is wise in his age.<br />I am so proud of him for wanting to give away things and understand why we need to.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-16166443849366420702007-11-06T06:30:00.000-08:002007-11-06T06:36:40.257-08:00The treasure of FriendshipWhile I was knitting at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Starbuck's</span> last night, an old friend of mine decided to join me. We have been friends since the 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> grade. We try to talk as much as we can but life gets in the way and we get together about once a year. The greatest thing about this friendship is that we start right where we left off. Our friendship never misses a beat no matter how much time has gone by. I treasure this, so many times in life you look for these types of relationships and can't find them. I can't call her my best friend but I call her a true friend. A friend that I will always have. I will always know all about her family and her infatuation with her massage therapist.<br />Her friendship was blog worthy. So here's to you Emily!Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-46475470845932504502007-10-24T06:46:00.001-07:002007-10-24T06:56:59.222-07:00Offbeat newsTalk about Bridezilla Headline "Bride Sues florist for wrong flower color"<br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/10/16/bride.flowers.ap/index.html">http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/10/16/bride.flowers.ap/index.html</a><br /><br />The benefits to blizzards.<br />Denver reports blizzard of babies<br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/09/27/blizzard.babies/index.html">http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/09/27/blizzard.babies/index.html</a>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-1375995550161852932007-10-24T05:21:00.000-07:002007-10-24T05:29:58.639-07:00Lesson LearnedSaturday morning, the family and I went garage sale hopping. I love getting nice kids cloths for cheap. I got some cute little silk nightgowns for Peyton. She loved them. I even took some really cute pictures of her in her nightgowns because she was so proud of them (will post those later). So anyway, she went to bed that night and in the morning she woke up before us and was playing in her crib, waiting for us to come in and get her.<br />The way that we found her was well gross, she must have gotten a little bored and decided to take off her diaper (since she had access to it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">because</span> of the nightgown). I won't go into detail about how we found her but I am sure if you imagine the worst you will get it.<br />So the lesson is, do not put a toddler in bed with access to their diaper because they will take it off! So now she goes to bed with shorts over her diaper.<br />I shared this story with my mom's group on Monday night and I am glad to know that I am not the only person that this has happened to. We shared some gross stories over coffee.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-48900951508904438272007-10-18T11:30:00.000-07:002007-10-18T11:40:34.379-07:00America's Top 10 Driving Pet Peeves1.

Road Rage<br />8. Motorcyclists who race down the middle of a lane, between cars<br />9. Women applying makeup and men shaving<br />10. Drivers who leave their turn signal on for miles<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ok</span> I admit to doing a couple of those things while driving. But out of that list I think the tailgaters tests my patience more than anything else. All of them do test my patience though.<br />It does not seem as bad when we do these things but when it is someone else doing it to us, we can not seem to handle it and explode.<br />I had this guy the other day almost run me off of the road because I was not driving fast enough, and I do admit I was pacing with the car beside me when I saw him tailgating me and yelling at me. Seriously where did he have to be that could not wait the 30 seconds?<br />I do admit that I am not the best driver of the year but there are some drivers who are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">sooo</span> much worse!Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-76353453838221706422007-10-07T08:23:00.001-07:002008-11-13T00:36:16.898-08:00Random cute pictures of the kids<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWXnYVqAwMjXFvBNAGgciYmX3ZrH-aiYzPazBUET3i42P4p2UY0buAhaW9Fla88o9HSvSYcCRm75SiEwIGKRdhv9ZJMXJmMHbbFbWqkv7c1MzVh-XWK9Jw2fOiJ8JvbLjSpxhhsblLQ4/s1600-h/100_0704.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118617517966198226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWXnYVqAwMjXFvBNAGgciYmX3ZrH-aiYzPazBUET3i42P4p2UY0buAhaW9Fla88o9HSvSYcCRm75SiEwIGKRdhv9ZJMXJmMHbbFbWqkv7c1MzVh-XWK9Jw2fOiJ8JvbLjSpxhhsblLQ4/s400/100_0704.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7HdolJw1TJsnTXZHgLrcIOsLxvJSOyjJftNXR1C1HeQEF_h44qfqeQ69SPikFYH2GgPHf_iBlcSN0qf7GrAOC7iAU3F8Qjo30IRmz9Gknntcta-GOD2Wwd_JSTm376TRBxHJPADxstw/s1600-h/100_0727.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118617526556132834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF7HdolJw1TJsnTXZHgLrcIOsLxvJSOyjJftNXR1C1HeQEF_h44qfqeQ69SPikFYH2GgPHf_iBlcSN0qf7GrAOC7iAU3F8Qjo30IRmz9Gknntcta-GOD2Wwd_JSTm376TRBxHJPADxstw/s400/100_0727.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zZmGtVuzVNk8ZsN6ZP-ond58_rUppUqw6gskd96MnzCZMMsXaal0ILtJXyjLcqM6p9aGd6OkFXLBLIl7-_jDM31iA40sISOKdC0veDkwJMSMnWZOwqnIAfelTgX4t2Prp1_Laf_JO5c/s1600-h/100_0711.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118617530851100146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zZmGtVuzVNk8ZsN6ZP-ond58_rUppUqw6gskd96MnzCZMMsXaal0ILtJXyjLcqM6p9aGd6OkFXLBLIl7-_jDM31iA40sISOKdC0veDkwJMSMnWZOwqnIAfelTgX4t2Prp1_Laf_JO5c/s400/100_0711.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwoH2ijhUWmoE3IFrvZct1gK49r8UH6z2GgrYF7ZfWvAG8uAzV440Naz7kJRUGnSYTMkZJzt285229A0ZWEHm4eVS8_TWbIMcrn15Igf2lCubKYf9jJ-o6b0tlX4wCTNkpyvR0z2NyDXE/s1600-h/babies012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118617535146067458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwoH2ijhUWmoE3IFrvZct1gK49r8UH6z2GgrYF7ZfWvAG8uAzV440Naz7kJRUGnSYTMkZJzt285229A0ZWEHm4eVS8_TWbIMcrn15Igf2lCubKYf9jJ-o6b0tlX4wCTNkpyvR0z2NyDXE/s400/babies012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-4614243184370357282007-10-07T08:10:00.000-07:002007-10-07T08:23:08.271-07:00God momentI had a God moment the other day. I read an forward on Friday morning it was good but I really did not pay close attention to it and then deleted it.<br />Later in the day I got a call from my sister. She was upset because they are financially struggling at the moment. She asked me "Do you think any less of me because we have to get help right now?"<br />Then I remembered the forward, it was a professor teaching a class. He held up a $5 bill and asked who in the class wanted it. Hands went up. He crumbled up the $5 bill and again asked who wanted it, hands still went up. Then he put the money on the ground, stomped on it and jumped on it. And people still wanted it. The lesson was even though the money was battered, dirty and stomped on it did not change the value of it.<br />So no matter what you are going through the people who really love you don't care about the circumstances. It does not change who you are or your value.<br />That lesson is just what she needed to hear at that moment. Totally God working through me. It is so cool that things like that can happen.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-17915231109045549832007-10-07T07:47:00.001-07:002008-11-13T00:36:17.295-08:00Knitting Projects<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGU5sQnvGaZigNpkBUz8clZ5_r9QywC-BQNm1Hq-ECbAZAlsgAMz9nzhkxLfHsIh38pyx5K6aQJZNug_cVC5sUtD1CzWm9P4L5guKieyHwfV6ExhawknI-CiSfH2GRCjLyaEdF5gJ0qpk/s1600-h/100_0754.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118610439860094370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGU5sQnvGaZigNpkBUz8clZ5_r9QywC-BQNm1Hq-ECbAZAlsgAMz9nzhkxLfHsIh38pyx5K6aQJZNug_cVC5sUtD1CzWm9P4L5guKieyHwfV6ExhawknI-CiSfH2GRCjLyaEdF5gJ0qpk/s400/100_0754.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNStNtZHrHMISFIIBsxdzPf3qrkYNBPb0BpgsK-lrY3q5-0lBM1A1_4jLC-XfO6J-fF1t7sZe_u7rvu4D121vnKLuRHHZ2RNm6iTaVQqxgZ-uJVq5_B1b23RrFAVYWGma8dxJ-S29AeJI/s1600-h/100_0755.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118610452744996274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNStNtZHrHMISFIIBsxdzPf3qrkYNBPb0BpgsK-lrY3q5-0lBM1A1_4jLC-XfO6J-fF1t7sZe_u7rvu4D121vnKLuRHHZ2RNm6iTaVQqxgZ-uJVq5_B1b23RrFAVYWGma8dxJ-S29AeJI/s400/100_0755.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljxa9xMcN745GC0mJS1TKH3SeIgDKhn8lEbYJhQBAyVnIRNMXNNgeYqrKEeY2YtmlGS1uuhPkKlyvyXziuzut3tPkvlSGMfo0FdzlJya-8CPAC7cI_0nLRTZEcGVJ9gze64hMLv4z9ak/s1600-h/100_0758.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118610457039963586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljxa9xMcN745GC0mJS1TKH3SeIgDKhn8lEbYJhQBAyVnIRNMXNNgeYqrKEeY2YtmlGS1uuhPkKlyvyXziuzut3tPkvlSGMfo0FdzlJya-8CPAC7cI_0nLRTZEcGVJ9gze64hMLv4z9ak/s400/100_0758.JPG" border="0" /></a> The first picture is a knitted hat that I did for Tyler. He was so excited that I finished it for him.<br />The scarf was my very first project that I did.<br />The pint hat is the same design as the green one but the pink one I did first so there are a lot of mistakes in that one.<br />But I am officially a knitter! Now I just need some cold weather so I can wear them.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-78955238915007239382007-10-05T13:58:00.000-07:002007-10-05T14:07:27.115-07:00One of those WeeksEver just have one of those weeks where everyone and everything bugs you! This has been me the past 2 weeks.<br /> Before I changed jobs I wanted a challenge, I was ready for something new, a change in scenery. So here I am Human Resource Coordinator at a "German Manufacturing Company" getting the challenge of my life. So now what, I really do love the challenge. I needed this to get me motivated and creative. I can not get past the few people that are driving me crazy though.<br />How do you handle it? Scream, Cry, Smoke, Drink? What how do you get past the crazy people and deal with them and the stupid things that they do?<br /><br />ME I have been knitting! This is my escape from work. I have to concentrate so hard on the pattern and the counting that I lose focus of everything else for a few hours. And by the time I am done I am calm. I really do understand why people go home and have bad habits like the smoking and drinking. But on a really bad day all I want to do is stick the knitting needles well ...we will keep this G rated.<br /><br />TGIF!Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-29491377290415555652007-10-01T11:43:00.000-07:002007-10-01T12:07:24.718-07:00Fall is in the AirYou always know when Spring is in the Air. The birds are chirping, the flowers are growing, and the there are lots of ducklings around. The air is getting warmer and the sun even seems brighter. But in Florida, there are only certain days when you go outside and don't break a sweat. This weekend was one of those weekends, you can almost smell the crispness in the air. The wind is a little cooler and you can even drive your car with the windows down.<br />One of those really great weekends when you can open up the house and let the fresh air fill every inch of the house. I love this season of Florida, even though nothing changes color it is nice to get a break from the hot hot sun.<br />So get ready for pumpkins and little kids dressing up.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12099236049108268518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737678918095375821.post-68982937768208533842007-09-24T05:29:00.000-07:002008-11-13T00:36:17.762-08:00Here Goes First Blog ever<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxYeYpggbsW7p4u8CmtgZUisNcQAUFUkBePxgAwDhirQuHQWLwC7c_VYswwvLJ0VKPexpKRP46qB5LZFDHukecUaUJzEPpy5BNZRUTDgXBjGFj8JqOPcObV4QzeoSDIlQ5o_1fQkosvAw/s1600-h/Andy+grad.family+photo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113750366537090450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxYeYpggbsW7p4u8CmtgZUisNcQAUFUkBePxgAwDhirQuHQWLwC7c_VYswwvLJ0VKPexpKRP46qB5LZFDHukecUaUJzEPpy5BNZRUTDgXBjGFj8JqOPcObV4QzeoSDIlQ5o_1fQkosvAw/s400/Andy+grad.family+photo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0H2YYagcsJsI9s_F85dQGuEDZ3aKAOZZbsD-C1AZgc-9aTBcLS8tkhyphenhyphenckkEo9gNRT90mjN_BPMs9tvTMGOPhbehy4EpFRcqqVWuN-fGuNJ0bRxqGaeCLNzjn2zNq6MwtYWLsrDrQ0ZQ/s1600-h/Tyler+and+Daniel+atbeach.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113748167513834882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0H2YYagcsJsI9s_F85dQGuEDZ3aKAOZZbsD-C1AZgc-9aTBcLS8tkhyphenhyphenckkEo9gNRT90mjN_BPMs9tvTMGOPhbehy4EpFRcqqVWuN-fGuNJ0bRxqGaeCLNzjn2zNq6MwtYWLsrDrQ0ZQ/s400/Tyler+and+Daniel+atbeach.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIPcw1xOzGLYQmppOxpiI_qpD1FponFGKQuoaQZPLG-KCCRCzWIaLjuRTWENbtJPQrJQ1j-_qaCpbPagNEtAKv6EqNArgl8UrXgcHDiVLOZSE6kS1GtMlN_qSf7OpXKQv0c3wc_5QKnA/s1600-h/Peyton+and+mommy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113747995715143026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIPcw1xOzGLYQmppOxpiI_qpD1FponFGKQuoaQZPLG-KCCRCzWIaLjuRTWENbtJPQrJQ1j-_qaCpbPagNEtAKv6EqNArgl8UrXgcHDiVLOZSE6kS1GtMlN_qSf7OpXKQv0c3wc_5QKnA/s400/Peyton+and+mommy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Ok so here we go, the first blog ever and I am not sure where to start.
