busy day!

Today started with taking the boys to school! I got to sleep for another 2 hours after that which brings the grand total of the night to 6 hours!! YAY!! That's the most sleep I've had in DAYS! I had my job interview... it went well! Provided that I pass the background check and drug test the job is mine!! Thank the Lord that something came through :) He is soooo faithful!! :)

Christmas Day...!

Did I somehow manage to FORGET this detail about Christmas day!? Oh my… this just won’t do!

Jason got pulled over on Christmas day!

The officer comes up to the window... conversation goes like this....

Officer: Are you Jason?
Him: Yes.
Officer: Can I see your ID?
(Jason hands him ID)
Officer: Hm. I'm going to have to ask you to step out of your truck and come back to my car with me.
(Jason gets out and goes back)
Officer: The reason I pulled you over today is because I ran your plates and it came back that there's a warrant out for your arrest in Colorado.
Jason: In Colorado!?
Officer: Yes. Apparently you have an unpaid speeding ticket and a failure to appear in court.
Jason: But my wife took care of that! We still have another month to pay it!
Officer: Well, that's now what my computer says, and until you correct it, I’m going to have to take you to jail.
Jason: Oh my god.
Officer: There's one more thing I need to inform you of, you see, I was at a Christmas party earlier and your wife put me up to this.

Oh yes. I’m THAT mean. He still gets nervous when we pass police… LOL!

Another month... almost two!

I really suck at this blogging thing. Here's the latest 411...

Christmas was wonderful! We went to some friends’ house for Christmas dinner. It was wonderful to be surrounded by loving people!

I'm back in Idaho visiting my parents. The original plan was for Jason to work overtime while I was gone, but CH cut back his hours to 48. So the next plan was for me to find a temp job here so we can save a little cash. I'm working on it and have an interview tomorrow... pray that things go well! They have already cut a few guys at CH back to 40 hours... and that would be very bad. Please pray that they don’t do that to Jason!

My Grandma Tina was in a nasty car accident on Thursday, but is expected to be okay. She’s still in the ICU for now but is doing better. My parents are in California taking care of her and I am staying with Jonathan and Jordan... aka Israel and Lebanon (they fight like warring countries). So far there has been peace at the house... thank God!!

College starts March 9th if everything goes as planned! We’re still talking about majors. I think Jason is leaning towards accounting and I'm all over the place. I feel like one of those little kids who doesn’t know what they want to be when they grow up. You know, the ones who say, “I’m gonna be a doctor, and a teacher, and a mommy, and a spaceman, and a nurse, and a lawyer, and a singer, and an artist!”

My mom has been fighting with the College Board for months to get them to grand accommodations for Jonathan to take his SATs. He really needs them because of his brain injury, and until yesterday they were completely unwilling to grant them. It turns out that a no-nonsense attitude, harsh tone of voice, and the ability not to take no for an answer really speeds things up! It took me 10 minutes on the phone to get ALL accommodations granted… LOL! :)

That’s about all for now. Hopefully I will have photos soon! :)
