Autunm

Good Morning Campers

It's been a while again huh? No excuses..just tired when I get home and now I spend so much time on the computer all day I don't feel like writing when I get home. The job is fine..stressful at times and my friend Jen who talked me into coming to work there is so disorganized it drives me nuts!! She also doesn't follow through on stuff and that's another pet peeve of mine..you can't rely on her..I constantly have to remind her to do things and I get embarrassed when our students come to her and ask for something she has told them she is working on for them when I know she hasn't done it..they are learning to come to me now and that they can trust me..if I say I am going to do something I will do it and if for some reason I can't I will find the person who can...she has also palmed a lot of the work off on me yet claims "we" are working on it..I have kept quiet about it..but now my 3 month probation period is up I feel comfortable in letting others know who is really doing the work..to be honest they know..they see who is doing the work.. :-)

Enough about work...it's Autumn y'all!! Yay! Not that it feels like it here but it's coming..I feel a slight drop in the temperatures and in the wee hours of the morning you can almost feel a "nip" in the air..:-)

I have a secret..not to be mentioned on FB okay?? LOL..I am going to see hubby next week..he is in the states..can't say where as where he is and what he is doing is classified but I can say I will be spending next weekend with him...I am sooooooooooo excited..I am ready for a change of scene and to get away..I hate that I can't share where I'm going..especially as I have always wanted to go there but once the assignment is over I will be able to..

Well time for me to get ready for work..just felt like writing this morning..hope you all have a great weekend..

WHERE WERE YOU?

911 My memories.
September 11th 2001.
I was on the phone with my dad in England. I had the TV on in the back ground and something caught my attention.. I don't know what...it was then I saw the burning tower..I told my Dad to turn on the TV in england..they don't normally have it on during the day.. I said "dad are you seeing what I am seeing?" he said " oh my love I think I am' he cried out for my Mum to come look..then we were all on the phone together in silence as we both watched the 2nd plane fly into the building...we were in complete and utter shock...we spoke a little more..me and my Mum were crying and my Dad was saying this was going to change our lives forever..they were so worried for me being over here..for Lester as a service member...so many thoughts rushing through our heads...we hung up and I just sat glued to the TV..Lester was playing golf on base.. he called me and said they had sounded the alarm on base and announced for everyone to return to the clubhouse..he had no idea what was going on..they NEVER sound the alarms on base..it was then he saw what was happening...as you can imagine it was chaos on base...he made a quick call to me and then had to report to his command... the base was on lock down..he couldn't leave I couldn't go to him.. I was worried for the kids... he eventually came home and the kids and he and I just sat with the rest of the country and watched in horror. I will never forget those feelings..it was the first time I had ever felt like that.. I cannot even put in to words how I felt...but I know I was proud that my husband was a part of the Military and that he would get to do his part...he has served in Iraq twice since 911... the support we were given was amazing..the yellow ribbons in our neighbourhood..and at my job...strangers hugging me.. I have never been more proud...and I still am..today IS a special day but every day is a reminder in my house....
God Bless each and every one of our troops still fighting the fight...God Bless everyone who lost a family member or friend due to 911... RIP to ALL those who perished.... you will never be forgotten...
