We have been extremely busy. We went camping, then Mothers Day crept up on us, Gary went to SC and I am redoing all of our flower beds and creating some new ones, all the while cleaning up our backyard. I am exhausted. I will post pics of the camping trip soon. Other than that, nothing really new to update. Just chugging along like normal.

Spring is here!
and with it comes this disgusting yellow pollen. :sneeze: It's awful. It gets on EVERYTHING and stays there.
It's been an eventful week in our household. Derrick is feeling 300 percent better. Thank the lord! but Gary caught a really bad flu! We think it might be this swine flu, I mean it really knocked him on his ass. But he is finally getting better. I have never seen him soo sick.
Derrick went back to school yesterday, and is doing great. I am soo happy, I hated seeing him in soo much pain. The meds were giving him stomach cramps! He will be 2 weeks post-op tomorrow. His follow-up appt. with Dr. Gupta is next week, and I am sure it will go fine.
We are camping this weekend with the TIF group,at Jordan lake. I am excited, we have sooo much fun camping.
My knee is still wonky. It hurts some days and is fine others. Blah, I just wish it would heal already. For the 100th time, I am back on WW, and it's going o.k. I can't let my MIL beat me at losing weight. HAHAHAHA.

Surgery aftermath
Surgery went well, better than I expected. Recovery has been good, rough at times, but good. We had him doped up for the last 3 days, and we have cut his meds back, but looks like we need to up them again. Baby boy is in pain. Sad to see him this way.
Last Saturday was the twins first t-ball game. Gabby did better than expected, emotionally, She has been this bundle of emotions lately, shy and reserved. But Gary was there assisting with the team, and I think that helped her come out of her shell.
I thought she was going to breakdown because Derrick was not playing, but she surprised us all!
We have been seriously neglecting our yard. I am hoping to get to that this weekend. I want to do a little planting in the front beds and get the side yard beds assembled. This is going to be a major PITA!

Can I just say that I LOVE my Jay Oh Bee??
It really is a perfect fit. I am happy I made the choice I did. It is only day two and have learned allot. I am hopeful that this is a sign of good things to come.
Gary has been in GA the past 3 days and it has been a little stressful, with starting the new job and some news we received in regards to his snoring. Derrick's ENT appt. went smoothly but the news was not great.
Dr. Gupta could not believe that the pediatrician did not catch this. Derrick's tonsils and adenoids are the size of an adult male. You can only see pink puffy flesh when you look in his mouth. Poor dude. I feel soo bad, we thought it was allergies.
We meet with the Dr. next Monday and the surgery is scheduled for the 17th. I am scared. He will be under general anesthetic. Please say a little prayer for him and us. I was up last night checking on him a handful of times, because I was so worried. Blah , this is gonna be a slow 2 weeks. I called Gary and made him come home early, he is almost home as I type.
The kids baseball opening day is the 18th, so I guess derrick will have to miss his first game. He will be bummed, I know it.
Ahhh the joys of being a parent.

I am out of witty titles.
I start my new job tomorrow, Gary is in GA all this week, I am fighting with the unemployment office and Derrick has his ENT appt. tomorrow. Talk about STRESSED. I about chewed my MIL's head off today. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. And the twins are almost done with school and have a ton of activities going on through school, a ton of activities with friends and baseball starts in a few weeks. My head is spinning.
Derrick's ENT appt should have been scheduled ages ago, but I lag. He has snored since he was about 2 and it has only gotten worse over the last year. I am scared he has apnea, but he is sleeping, he is not tired or irritable. And the noise. It is so loud it wakes us all up. I am hoping Dr. Gupta does not try to shove a bunch of meds our way.
I want to send a huge Felicidades to the Rivas family, they welcomed a beautiful baby girl last night at 9:17PM weighing in at 8lbs, 9oz, name TBD. LOL.

A little more info!
I received another offer yesterday. I was a little overwhelmed. Both offers were great opportunities and I felt sick to my stomach. I am happy with my decision but it was soooo hard to make it. I really hope I made the right decision.
I received the following email from the recruiter of the second offer:
"Elysia,
I wanted to thank you for working with XXX Corporation regarding the Program Support Assistant position. I also thought you may like to hear that some of the feedback from your interview was very positive. The group felt that you were very professional & confident in your abilities, that you answered their questions clearly and that you appeared to be very motivated. Donovan specifically stated that you were one of the best candidates he had seen in the past few years.
I thought it may be nice to hear that you did such an excellent job on your interview. Best of luck in your new position.
XXXXX
Technical Recruiter
XXX Corporation "
Talk about a major stroke to the ego!
The new job is with a small company. The owners have been working out of their house here in Holly Springs for the past 4 years. The company is the primary distributor for a Swiss made liquid handling workstation. So basically they sell lab automation systems and life science products to bio-medical research and medical diagnostic facilities.
They acquired the warranty, service and maintenance side of the business recently. Thus the need to move into a commercial space and my position. My official title is Customer Service Rep. But I will also assist with sales and Marketing, all admin. aspects, creating product databases from scratch, you name it I will do it. This is a perfect job for me. Learning to run a small business. I am very excited.
While picking up my employment packet, I was speaking with the owner, Mrs. Medders, and she asked me if Mr. Medders spoke to me about the amount of responses they received for the posting? I said no. They received over 300 resumes. OMG my mouth dropped. This shows the sign of the times. I am very BLESSED.
