Love the New Job

Love the new job!!! An I do mean love it, the people I work with are great and I am challenged every day to learn something new.
I leave for training in two weeks. I was concerned about how I was going to eat. And stay safe and gluten free, I very much did not want to get sick and miss any of the training. So I talked with the new boss Jackie and she said do what you need to and make sure you put it on the company credit card. How cool is that!!! I did some looking on like and there are a lot of places that I can eat in Eugene and many are with in walking distance of the hotel.
My good friend Karen from Eagle Creek Oregon called this week I am sad to day that we had not talked in a long time. Thanks for calling Karen!!! It was good to talk with here and get all updated on Andrew, the Job and the Kitties.
TJ does not like his mom being gone so much. There are two events the weekend I fly home that he does not get to go to because his mom will either be in training or on an airplane. I do believe that our now having the money to go some places on the weekends will make up for it. On the other hand, maybe he will just have to understand that this is how millions of kids live all the time and that the last 7 years have been truly wonderful. A gift form God that we had so much time to hang out in the afternoon and weekends. We did go shopping on Saturday. I have to ware something other than chef pants and a chef coat. TJ helped his mom pick out pants and shoes. It was great fun. He got some stuff too. We will go but him some more stuff next week when we get the first check from RVP.
This is just a short note to say hi and all is well. I am off to work. Today I get to work on Time and Attendance to see if it is cool to use.
God Bless and be safe.

In remembrance of the men and women who gave their lives this day at Pearl Harbor, I would ask that you all take an extra moment to say a prayer. This week has been a bit crazy. My work at Boise State University Culinary Arts is a bit more than usual as the third semesters are preparing for their Capstone Dinner. This is a fund-raising event that is a formal seven course event. Lots of work and stress for them and me the one that must make sure that they have all the stuff they need to make it happen. I know they will do a great event. The house has been a sick ward this week, Mom, Dad, and TJ. I have been ok mostly. TJ stayed home from school Thursday and Friday. We are not going to Snow Capades Saturday in McCall, Idaho. I am somewhat glad about not going. At Camp Morrison they are preparing lunch. I called and spoke with the event organizer about a gluten free lunch for myself and my son. It was another situation of educating someone about gluten and how to prepare gluten free food.

Fall 2009

Hello all, TJ is in the 5 th grade and is learning a new level of ownership and responsibility. He is riding the bus and is responsible for getting out the door on time with all he stuff, including packing his lunch. It is hard not to remind him but I know it is the best way for him to learn. So far he as missed the bus once. I find my self doing too much reminding. Some habits are hard to break. Speaking of habits I am at 3.5 months of not smoking. There were a few days last week that were real hard, not sure why. But I made it through with out falter. Jackie is doing well also. We now have only Mike and Doug in our office to join the ranks. Maybe next we can talk Billy into giving up an hour a day so we can hit the gym? Work is still a challenge each week I learn something new or improve on something I have been doing. I have been using an hour or two a day to read and study for the A+ Certification. I would like to take it before the end of the year. I need to stay focused on th

Quick Up Date

We are on pins and chairs waiting for the results of the IQ test for TJ to get in to the gifted and challenged program. He has made huge progress in his ability to stay on task at school. Attitude at home continues to be an adventure. Scouting is still fun and challenging. We are one year from becoming a boy scout. Wow how time flies. I am enjoying my work and the never a dull moment environment of our office. We lost a dear friend and valued team member on January 4, 2009 with the death of Ron Caron. I know that some day or service department will run smoothly again. It may be a long time before that happens but someday it will. My father Stew has joined the Gluten Free world. A bit of a skeptic but recently gave it a test and has proved to him self that the problems on his skin, lack of energy and sinus problems were connected to gluten. My mom Mary and the rest of us are learning about Hypoglycemia. Boy that is more confusing than no Gluten. Together we are being healthier.
