My Roller Coaster Job

I 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!
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.
To top it all off the company is restructuring and my job is going to be eliminated. First it was December 31st, then January 31st, and now it is February 29th. UN freaking 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.
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.....
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!
On to bigger and better American things. (the company is German)

The Year in Review

Ok I know this is a little late to be doing this but I wanted to remember all of the great things in 2007! Our family had some really big events in this year.

• Starting off Tyler graduated from Pre-K.
• Andy Graduated from College
• Erin Graduated from College
• Peyton turned 1 year old
• I started knitting (this is huge, the start of the addiction)
• My brother got engaged!!
• I got a new job (Big move just not sure it was a great thing)

I might add a few more down the line but those are the big events in the Greenhalgh family

Knitting Updates

Ok I have been really busy with all of my knitting projects. So here they are.

Prayer

Tyler gets rated in school everyday for his behavior. E being the best and U being not so good. So yesterday he got an S, it is satisfactory but it also means that the teached had to talk to him a lot about his behavior.
At bedtime we prayed that Tyler would have a good day today and then it was his turn to pray and this is how it went:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the lord that I get an E,
if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Precious!

My Amazing Son

Last night, after Tyler ate a good dinner he had the option of a tootsie roll or a pack of sweettarts. 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.
It is amazing to me that my 5 year old is wise in his age.
I am so proud of him for wanting to give away things and understand why we need to.

The treasure of Friendship

While I was knitting at Starbuck's last night, an old friend of mine decided to join me. We have been friends since the 6th 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.
Her friendship was blog worthy. So here's to you Emily!
