Check in, check, in..........can we? So how was everyones day? What did you all do today? Who has spring? How is everyone feeling? So did we decided 3 meals a day or 6 meals a day? I get so confused around here sometimes!

I'm just finishing a very dizzying day at work, but I'm going to an enjoyable show afterward, so that's okay.
As for the six vs. three meals, I think that's just an individual thing -- no rules.
Well since I never really had time today to read and catch up other then a few random posts I figured I would start the check in if that is alright with everyone. I over slept this morning and blew off my morning walk. I stayed up until after midnight and I know that is why I could not get up. Already spoke to Aunt Linda and we are walking tomorrow morning. Got Katie up then Billy, drove Katie to school then did some stuff around here before heading into the office. Worked all day although I did not plan on doing that. Stayed until almost 4:30 and caught up a little bit. After work I had to drop off some contracts then I hit the store for some stuff for dinner. I had a taste for fish and stuffed flounder was the order. Picked up some flounder and the making for the stuffing. It turned out really yummy and I made too much of coarse. Billy did not want to eat, so it was just Katie and I. I made 5 fillets so I can either take one for lunch tomorow and give the other two away or freeze them, just not sure how they will taste after being frozen. I made some fresh broccoli and mushrooms to go with the fish and now I have a tummy ache. I need to clean up inside and then I think throw myself across my bed and watch TV upstairs. This way if I fall asleep I am already there. I had trouble driving home from the store, my eyes were tiered. Just talked to Bill, he has Robbie driving his truck and trailer and they are in Georgia now. They are making excellent time and are hoping to get to Jacksonville, Florida by around 10 or 11 tonight. Not bad since they left Aberdeen, Maryland around 9:00 this morning.
Patty you make me laugh..........isn't it funny how they want to talk with you when it is

Ok, so

Not a real good day all around. Besides the whole work thing which was upsettng Dh went on his interview. He hadn't heard real good things about the guy he was going to be meeting with but decided that he would go in with an open mind. No, he didn't like him either-he feels the guy is really not that interested in the fact that he's been in the business for 30+ years and has the experience to help his business grow but more that the guy is interested in whether former customers will follow him and bring him more business. The question the "list" kept coming up. He was a little too readily agreeable to his salary and then would bring up "so where's the list?" which in my mind is a bit unethical. DH just doesn't trust the guy which pretty much sums up the other people's feelings about him. DH feels that once he gets what he needs from DH that he's likely to be ready to get rid of him. He's been told by others that he's a hire and fire kind of guy. Although it's more difficult to get rid of a union guy especially one that has been there for a long time it's not so difficult to make someone's life miserable so that they quit.
He has one more shop that is interested in him. It's non union and he knows that they've got some problems there including a parts manager that is we'll say putting it nicely less than charming.
DH has already said that if the offer is there from the first guy that he'll probably take the position so that he'll have a job and benefits and will continue looking.I just don't want him going from the frying pan into the fire. I think we were both a bit down about the situation this evening. Of course I managed to eat myself through part of a container of French Silk ice cream. I just know how difficult it is to have a new job and try to find a way to interview. My coworker's father has a friend who has DH's resume and is going to make phone calls but he was also honest that the industry and economy are in a mess and that there are more lay offs than hirings at this point. But have to love her too for offering any help she could.
As far as the situation with the boss he was all nicey nice this afternoon. Apparently my coworker who has no trouble speaking her mind went in and asked since there's a lot on my plate at the moment that she was available all that weekend why she couldn't take care of things that needed to be done on my desk. He responded that we could work around my issues and that he wasn't trying to break ba**s. Could have fooled me by the conversation. She can be so abrasive at times but she definitely has a heart of gold...that why we share our brains at work to make one full one and that we get along so well.
DH is at a union meeting this evening it will be interesting to see if there's any feed back from there. I don't know I think we're both feeling a bit stressed and a bit discouraged.
I did go out for a nice walk with Otto and Otto was so excited to see one of his canine friends in the distance that he took me running so fast that I had a hard time keeping up with him. He tore across the park and eagerly got reacquainted with his friend Luke.
I'm really tired mentally and physically this evening so I really hope that a good night's sleep is headed this way although I'm not sure about that. Anyway, hope the rest of you have a good sleep.

I'm so glad to hear that your sister is taking some time to step back and take some time to take care of herself and her health.

Had such a nice day!
Started with team teaching at my friend's class on the island.
