"Alis Volat Propriis"

Had a busy week so far and it looks like tomorrow is going to be the same way..busy. But least its Friday! Chris heard back from Georgia Pacific, just waiting on a job reference to clear and then its good to go. The reference was from my brother and since I didnt know how to get a hold of him nor the company to, I went and saw him yesterday. First time in almost 3 years. It was a sight for sore eyes and I had a great time sitting and talking with him. I just hope that he remember to call/email them today, that job means a lot to us.
I have had more of an emotional week than I want to. I am glad that I have someone who I can talk to when I need to. I just wish I could spend more time with loved ones and have that fuzzy warm feeling more often. Right now for some reason Natalie is feeding me her fruit loops (lol)
I did go fishing with Chris and we both caught a couple, seemed like every time that he used my rod he caught something.. Daddy walked with us once at his house. Was very nice to do that. And I have enjoied the squash  daddy has gave me. I cant wait for the rest of the veggies. :)
I am seriously thinking of getting a tattoo. I know I said I would never get one but I dunno. I more than likely will not get one cause of the cost and i will chicken out. I just feel like that I want too enough the fear of one wouldnt bother me. I have come along way on my fears. but still, i might.

I want to work on my family history some more that its about to drive me crazy. I have the family mottos for both sides :
Lamonds (Daddys side): "Ne parcas nec spernas" - "Neither spare nor dispose"
Latham (Moms side): "Aequanimitate" which translate to: "equanimity" - "evenness of mind under stress," "Be even minded"
That describes both families to the T. Perfect. I love it.

Well, I think that is all for tonight, just a little on edge with the job at Georga Pacific. I hope Jr emails them tomorrow/today. I dont want Chris to loose this job. And my plan for this weekend is to just lay back and spend time with my loved one. And it will be Fathers day too.  <3

Update.

Just a little update..Things have been crazy here since last time I posted. I can say that I have put some things behind me and I hope that I am over that. I had a good time on Memorial Day spending time with my family. But of course, the next day and for two days after I was sick. Had a nasty stomach bug or something or other. Then as soon as I got better Natalie had to get a bladder infection. She still isn't over it, the fever she had is gone but all she wants to do is sleep now. AND at the wrong time of day. So, needless to say my sleep pattern is screwed up too.
Chris had his interview today that we have been very happy he got called back for. We are hoping that he hears back from them so he can leave Energizer. Still would be third shift, and it would be 12 hour shifts but more money and benefits is what we want/need.
I am looking forward to Bethany's baby shower for Miss Braylee at the end of the month <3!
I am making her something very special :)
Cant believe that my oldest niece is having a baby, now I really feel old. But so excited!
I think later on I might work on my ancestry stuff some more. I wish I didn't have to cancel that account cause I loved doing that. And I learned SO much about my moms family. It has been a real great learning process and just you know me, I love all history and whats better than your roots!
Well needless to say I don't have much more to share and I have a headache and want to have a chocolate fix. I think that I will call it a night and say PEACE!
