Frustrating moment of the day: Getting a job interview to work casually in the criminal record department at the police station (very interesting work to me - great pay and get to choose my own hours when Dave is home with the kids.....perfect scenario) only to find out that I MUST find my diploma from the secretarial college I graduated from 23 years ago BEFORE I get the interview! Stupid, ridiculous rule............perhaps I should beg???.............Like a six month course means more than 14 years experience!!!!
Ear-splitting moment of the day: Listening to my darling children blow their KAZOO's in the car on the way home from an errand this evening. They were given these wonderful toys when we were out and I was ever......so......grateful......for......the.......experience. If you have never heard a kazoo played by children before - in an enclosed space no less - you are truly missing out.
Heart-warming moment of the day: Going with my daughter to the library to find CD's to learn how to speak Spanish. The challenge came yesterday from my pastor in church, encouraging whoever was willing to try to learn a foreign language. The goal is to become a church of many ethnic cultures that is unhindered by the language barrier. My daughter took this to heart and, always being interested in Spanish, is determined to learn the language. I am totally thrilled with this.
Hilarious moment of the day: This evening with my two nieces.....watching them duck and hide beneath blankets in my living room because a MOTH was flying around. To their credit, they restrained their shrieks quite well (they knew their auntie would throttle them if they woke up the kids), but as I stalked the moth, I managed to subdue my mirth. And become a heroine in the process.
Magic moments.

Your hilarious moment made me think of the helmets while mowing the lawn when the grasshoppers were bad over there. On the head of one of the said nieces I believe. So many things they are so brave about and yet the critters get to them so well. Ha ha ha. good on them for the control of the earsplitting screams that could be and normally are.
I'd like that job!! Sounds very interesting =)
Good luck!
I forgot about the helmets, Mrs. Wizzle. That IS hilarious. You should hear their spider-killing stories, now that they are in their own little basement suite. One of the nieces WILL NOT EVEN STEP ON ONE BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT THE GUTS ON HER SHOE! Makes killing them difficult, huh? Their stories remind me of Lana and I (and I was worse than Lana - using hairspray to try to kill them on the ceiling), but honestly, they make me look like I could have won a medal for bravery.
Rachel: I'm going to talk to them today and tell them there is no way I can find my certificate (I think it's buried in my chest of drawers where I kept all of my papers when I was single, and the chest of drawers if BURIED behind 90 kazillion things at the far corner of the garage)(reminds me...I've never had the privilege of actually using a garage for a....car), see how they respond, and if possible try to reason with them. All they need to do is call my first employer (who knows me VERY well because it's my grandma's doctor!) and she would vouch for me AND my education.
If it doesn't work, well then I'm not sure I would want to work for someone as unreasonable as that anyway.
Yeah, I think you've got the right thinkin' on that for sure. I have a hard time keeping track of documents from my last tax year. lol!! I can't imagine where my diploma is.
Hey Hey hey! this is completely unfounded. I did not, do not and will not shriek... I will simply get angry at that offensive thing for being in my living space. Thank you soo much for being the heroine. AND all that being said, if I can make someone laugh because spiders and moths DO NOT BELONG INSIDE BUILDINGS and I do not like them, then I will.
Hmmph...

Ahem. Well, I have an irrational fear of moths...Yes, I admit it. I am not as bad as some certain massage therapists, though..
You girls are good sports about the teasing. But remember....
God CAN deliver you........:)
