SNOW, SNOW EVERYWHERE!!!.....

Here it is in Colorado. We got 6 inches of the white stuff last night. It is so beautiful, but I hate driving in it. I only have to drive 13 miles to work. Maybe, Bob will drive me..hhhmmm
Last night we went with Bob's folks and nephew and niece and saw the movie.."HAPPY FEET". It was a hoot. Very, very cute. You just wanted to cuddle that little penguin, 'Mumble'. If you all didn't know, I still would love to do a cartoon voice for the movies. Just one movie. I could do it. We all enjoyed the movie and as we were coming from the movie , it was just starting to snow. It's still snowing. I hear Aspen, and Vail got feet of snow. Great for the snow boarders and skiiers. Ok, gotta get to work. We never have a snow day. Boo Hoo.........

I"m Not Fun

Bob told me I'm not fun. But his friends at the Nuclear plant are fun. HHHMMMM. Could it be that I am scared of saying something wrong to him and him snapping my head off? Yes. Well I have tons of friends who do think I am fun. It's so weird, Bob steps in our house and changes into the Hulk. But when he is away, "with his 'friends' women and men, he is the life of the party. They don't know the real BOB. It's funny how I can clean and cook and try to please Bob but I am not fun. I wish I could please my husband just once...........

TATTOOME

Yay, Bob is home !!!!! Now to organize us again. And great news...Molly, Mike and Brock are coming HERE for Christmas..We are so happy......Have a great week...love, Gail

46 days since I last saw Bob. This is sure not an easy life. I feel like he is in the Army overseas or something. I don't know how those military families do it!! You just miss the person. Going places together, and having that warm body next to you. I do things with friends. Go out to eat, out for coffee, home shows, see people at church etc. But I miss Bob. He knows me. We aren't perfect, but show me one couple that is. Life is hard, Marriage is hard. But the good news is Bob should be home this Saturday!!!
Work... I am so tired of gossip . Nobody is ever happy . I love everyone I work with. But no one is ever happy. Me included. We all feel we could run things better. It seems like a power trip to some teachers. Me, I am just happy being an assistant. But the lead teachers are always stressin out. We have a suggestion box, but we are all afraid to put anything in there. We don't want to step on toes. Ah geez.
I love the kids and thats why I am there. Yesterday one of my favorite little boys who just turned 4, had to tell me that 'his mom got pulled over by the "cops" and him and his sister be'd real quiet while the cop and his mom talked.' Oh the things these kids say. Oh, also yesterday, my friends little 3 yr old comes running up to me saying.."Hi Miss Gail", and he hugged me. Then he points to a chair and says to me.as he is running away.... "Now get your little ass in that chair." Well, come to find out his mom says that all the time to him..Nice. Good mom. I do not like parents swearing at their kids. I was impressed however that he said my "little" ass. Cause it isn't little. lol. I love these kids so much. They are so precious to my heart. :) I asked a couple of them.."What would you think if I left here and got a different job? " Little D. looks up from doing his letters and says..................
"I would be SSAAAA AADDD. " That was the longest sad I ever heard. :(
I would miss these kids so much. Bob has a chance to work in Kansas. At a power plant. Possibly. We may be moving by the new year. Well I want them to be prepared if I leave. I know what you are saying..Kansas? Whats in Kansas? Well, I here there are lots of very nice people there. But I will miss my mountains so much!!!!! We pray on the whole situation. It's in God's hands. If it is meant to be, it is meant to be. So thats life today in my part of the world........peace

Vines, Grapes, and Wine

Church today was a lesson on how a vineyard takes tender care of their vines and grapes. It was very interesting. We belong to the church, 'The Vineyard', www.vcffc.org and I even got to help prepare a platter full of different types of grapes for a visual, that Pastor Cory used. We went through JOHN 15:1-11. How God is the gardener and we are the branches. He prunes us so we can bear fruit. Check it out John 15. I loved it. Pastor Cory used 'Napa Valley' and our own 'Holy Cross Abbey' here in Canon City to explain how tenderly they handle the grapes. Wow. Very cool. I wish Bob was here to hear it.
Our Sr. Pastor Kirk and his family are still in China getting to know their new daughter 'Gracie.' They finally come home this week with her. How awesome. Our whole church is so anxious to meet her. She is so cute. They have two teenage sons, that are just loving little Gracie. If you want to see their journey. Check out www.journeytochina.com .

This Tuesday is voting day. Don't forget to Vote. And to let you know, Wal-mart and Ford Co. are on the band wagon to please more homosexuals to their companies. It makes me sad. God is so against homosexuality and immorality. He must be crying up in Heaven. I bet Sam Walton and Henry Ford are turnin over in their graves for what their companies have come to. How sad. I plan to boycott Wal-mart and Ford. Love the sinner, hate the sin.
Happy Election Week everyone.............................................................................love, Gail
