We refer to our 3 year old as Edwina (after eddie on AbFab...she looks a lot like her in many ways), and sometimes buttcheek because she has one butt cheek that refusing to be hidden.

As a whole, we refer to them as our little minions.

FUN IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM

well...today was a monday from hell...had lots of running around to do.

i finally got our van registered (have been driving it for over a year unregistered and uninspected...amazing you can get away with that down here.

i know people that have been arrested up north for that haah).

Well...today was a monday from hell...had lots of running around to do. I finally got our van registered (have been driving it for over a year unregistered and uninspected...amazing you can get away with that down here. I know people that have been arrested up north for that haah). I had finally made it to Walmart for some groceries...and my son calls:

"Olivia has something stuck in her nose!!!"

"What?" I hear her whining in the background....my nose, my nose!

"Are you sure it isn't a booger?"

"No way! Please come home!!' my poor son is very upset...probably more than Olivia (she is 3)

So I rush home, and sure enough, my little bugger has one of those plastic beads that feel off one of the older girls costume jewelry up her nose. Just up far enough where I cannot get it out.

Now, of course this stuff only happens when the kid hasn't had a bath yet, so she is a bit grubby. So I clean her up real quick, throw on cleaner clothes on her, and am putting on her shoes. This is where my 5 year old comes up and says, in her morbidly serious way: "They are going to have to cut her nose off to get it."

So, Olivia (who was pretty calm by now) starts screaming "Don't cut off my nose, Don't cut off my nose!" I tell her and Rebecca that won't happen, and so Rebecca says : "Well they will have to cut it open at least." More screaming by Olivia ensues.

I get her calmed down again, telling her they will use a tube to suck it out. She seems okay with that. Rebecca stands there fascinated and asks "Can I come with you?" Yeah, like THAT is going to happen after the stir she has created hahah.

So we get to hospital, Olivia is pretty calm, but is very quiet, talking in whispers. She brings a little flashligh (which she thinks the doctor needs to see the bead.) We make the nurses day. I know they have seen this a thousands times, but they do get a good chuckle out of it. One of the nurses comments that she likes my tshirt, which says :Who Are These Kids And Why Are They Calling Me Mom?"

I tell her I just bought it yesterday, and wore it for the first time today, We both agree God is punishing me for this shirt, hahah.

Anyhoo...we get to the room, and I take pictures with my cell phone to entertain Olivia. The doctor and nurse comes in, and the nurse and I hold her down while the doctor uses suction to get it out. Fortunately, she only had to try twice. The doctor, she holds up the bead, still stuck on the end of the suction tube, triunphantly and says "See Olivia, we got the bead out!" Olivia immidiately sits up, and says oh, the bead, and tries to take it. The doctor pulls back, and she, the nurse and I say all it once "Noooooooooo!"

Don't know how expense this will be yet, had to paid $75 at the discharge desk, but didn't have the current insurance cards. I know that is not the rest of my share...eeek!

I spoke with my husband about everything on the way home on the phone. He and I agree it is amazing this is the first trip to the ER with a foreign body situation, since we have five kids. I remind him it is only because we were able to get stuff out of Rebecca's nose when she was younger.

When my husband gets home...we ask Olivia is she will ever put a bead or anything else in her nose again. She says no. I told her, good, because putting a bead in your nose is Bad. She looks right at me and says...No it isn't bad...and she stands up straight, gets a huge smile on her face and looks me right in the eye and says: "It's funny!" And runs in the next room laughing.

God help me, hahah.

Sponsoring Kids

i sponsor a couple of kids in the third world.. how many do that?

i reckoned that i could easily give some of the money i spent on booze and do some good.. what bugs me is that i want to go and find the little ones and rescue them from their hell.

then when i see how many children are suffering i get all upset and want to drink again, because i can't see that me doing anything is any good.. maybe i should just get rid of the tv.... hb

Eyebrow2

wow ....I have often wondered if you could really write to the kids that you sponsor

this is something I have been thinking about for a while, but haven't done anything yet...I guess I am one of the views they guy on the commercials keep talking about.

Maybe when I finally give up cigarretes I will. That would pay for the whole family...I have to stop on July 1st anyway...going on a very long road trip with the family and will be seeing my mom. If she smells smoke on me she will have a heart attack.

Are you able to send other things too, such as clothes and toys if you wanted? I was wondering, because maybe I could send some of my girls' clothes that have outgrown..ones that still are in very good condition. Maybe just a few things now and then. I know I can give them to good will, of coures, but it would be cool sometimes too to go out and get little tshirts to say Texas on them and send them.

Do they really send you pictures too?

Awake! - Sample Resume for Those Without Work Experience

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

the main article for the july 8 awake is "how to find a job and keep it.

on the whole, it's a good article and there is some good advice.

how this relates to god's kingdom is another matter.

That is a sad ass resume.

First of all, most people looking for an entry level positon in manufacturing don't even need a resume. They usually just complete a job application. Second of all, if this person only has a high school education, highlighting the types of classes one took would be helpful. If they have college or other training outside of high school, that should be highlighted.

What kills me is when JWs put going out in service as volunteer work on their resume. This is only really helpful if you are looking for a door to door sales job...Kirby will love you. =)

I review about 100 to 200 resumes on a weekly basis, a lot of them are unsolicited resumes from job seeks with no real world experience. A lot of them (especially those looking to get into IT fields like pc techs and entry level helpdesk positions) usually put down their unpaid work, such as a computer lab assistant, or volunteering at the library, etc. A smart thing to put down.

Now, I don't think putting down work experience on a KH is a bad idea at all, especially if the job seeker is looking for manual labor. But as one poster said, everything put on a resume better be verifiable..some this candidate better make sure Brother In Charge of Roofing remembers who he is and has agreed to be used as a reference.

Whose famous autograph do you have in your possession...

me...shirley temple black...

I got Lynn Swan's autograph when I was in high school...he was a retired football player, used to play for the patriots...was there to talk about drugs etc.

Jenny Thompson...the olympic swimmer. Got it for my son. We actually were in high school together, well I was a few years ahead of her. We never hung out in high school, but it was cool that someone from my town made it to the olympics. (Actually, one of my teacher's daughters made to the olympics as a runner)

And Mr. McFeely from Mr Roger's Neighborhood. A family friend got it for my son when he was little.

I don't know where any of these are. Probably in a box somewhere.

However...during the removal CRACK! the inside of the window crack and broke. The crowd let out a collected AAAAACK!! the "image" is still there, and is still going to the church.

One lady in the crowd said that it cracking just proves that the window was meant to stay where it was.

What I thought was unbelievable was the fact the newscasters were able to report on this story with a straight face...sheesh.

I watched this newscast on NBC in Dallas...I think the site is www.nbc5i.com....I don't see it on the site yet.

The story gave me a chuckle hahah....I don't think it would be taken as seriously in the northeast..but maybe. who knows
