FRIDAY IS HERE AGAIN

I live for Friday...don't you? However, I have to say that I feel better this Friday than I did last Friday! Starting next week, I am taking two weeks off from "this place"! Things have been sooooo bad around the office lately and it is amazing how "crap" can really effect your nerves. I have even been physically sick over stress and worry of the "goings on" around here. Well, after my son wrapped his arms around my neck the other night and said "I don't like seeing my Mom so sad." I realized fast and quick that there was more to life than "bringing home my stress"! I had tried not to discuss things around him or let him see me cry (which has been alot lately) but he is smart and he knows his Mom! Well, after he said that, I was OVER being sad....I got MAD! Darn this place.....and myself for "stressing" my family as well! I promised him that things would be better! I called my doctor and visited with her yesterday. She agreed that some time off would be best. Stress can bring on so many illnesses and she was concerned for my health, especially since I had started being physically sick! Anyway, for now, I have TWO GLORIOUS WEEKS away from this place!! I already feel better! Of course, my dr. gave me an exercise routine to follow.....and I plan to do everything she tells me to do....heck, I would about listen to anyone that would write me a note to be away from this place for 2 weeks! LOL! I am in the office today to do some paperwork to finalize things. Oh and let me tell ya, management here does not care one bit....I handed the dr. note to my supvr. and you know what he said????? "Oh, there is nothing for me to sign so just give this to the secretary with your timesheets." I started to walk out and he said (not looking up-was staring at his crossword puzzle) "Hope you get things fixed up." I just said "Me too!" and walked out! Isn't it WONDERFUL to be so cared for by the place you have been employeed by for 20 years!?!?! Heck, I didn't even expect him to say that much! A co-worker of mine recently resigned because of the "crap" going on around here. She has been here 9 or 10 years.....when she handed in her resignation, all he said to her was "Oh, ok."!!

Ok, so now that I have had my "whoa is me" moment....ENOUGH!! It is time for Starla to start writing "happy, funny" blogs.....I want people to laugh, chuckle and just feel good when they come here....sorry I have been so gloomy lately....but Good Lord Willing....I'm going to be a different person.

By the way, I am looking for other job opportunities.....let me know if you know of anything!!!! PLEASE!!

So, the weekend is here and we all are going to make it the best we possibly can!! We have football tomorrow and then Cade is going off with a friend to play. Eddie will have to sleep because he is working this weekend.....AND I AM TAKING IT EASY....yeah, right! I'll end up cleaning the house or doing laundry....does it ever end!LOL! I may just have to throw in a little road trip to the nearest TARGET or something! Heck, I am even anxious for Sun. to roll around. Lately I have not enjoyed Sun. afternoons because I knew I had to come here the next morning....but this Sun. I will sigh a big sigh of relief.....a break! YAY!!!! Ok, to all of my friends who have said "I'm ready for the 'ole Starla to be back." --- guess what???? SHE IS ON HER WAY!! ~Until Later
