For the better....

Bobby's home. He won't be going on the road any time soon. He went Wed. And got through part of the physical and sent home the same day being told he needs a waiver for his eye. Come to find out he can't get one cause he hasn't been driving for 3 years CDL.. I'm like HTH is he to drive 3 years if he can't get the cdl in the first place??????? Anyway I have found some prospects to help him get one locally, and KS vision waiver doesn't have that goofy restriction on it. Just need a doctor approval. I'm disappointed for him, and I know that he's hurting over it, and feels like he's a failure, but I can't resist being happy that I get to keep him here with me. I so totally did not sleep that night.

Bobby made a friend on the way home, and he's stayed with us a couple nights, and is going back to Michigian tomorrow.

I'm still looking for work again. Had a few interviews, but nothing yet. I could just scream!

Aleia went to a friend's birthday party today, it's Donna's little boy Matt whom she claims she's going to marry when she grows up.. I'm going to roll over laughing if they do at some point since he currently thinks she laughs too much! Will post the pics of them at his party after I get them developed!

Killing Time....

Here I find myself at 10:01 pm waiting for Bobby's underwear to wash so I can put them in the dryer so he can take them with him. I can't believe it's come down to this. No work, so he's leaving for a truck driving school in Kansas City. I have to take him at 1am to catch the bus to Kansas City. He'll be there for 3 weeks, and then at graduation, taken directly to a terminal, assigned a trainer, and out on the road for the next 6 weeks with no guarantee of hometime. All I can do durring those 6 weeks is hope he gets a run through here. The company he's going to work for does Wal Mart and Sams Club so it could happen. I think I've spent the better part of the last 2 days crying. We had his going away party Friday night at Crazy Horse. I was hoping to have the pics back from that to send with him, but just can't spare the money to develope them. We did make it Monday with Wyatt and Aleia to get family pics taken on my free smilesaver card from Sears.
