ARKANSAS'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE JUST WENT UP!
My position was eliminated as of today!
It has been 11 months since I was called back from the 1st layoff!
It wasn't as devastating this time.
It still stinks like poo!
Last time I allowed it to really get me down and depressed!
I refuse to let it do that to me again!
I went to the unemployment office and applied for benefits right after I left the office.
I will do some spring cleaning
I will be home to meet Coco everyday
I will look for a job and ask God to open doors.
I will become a coupon saving mama
I will work on becoming a Proverbs 31 woman in my home
I will make it through this
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you , plans to give you a hope and a future!
I will be clinging to this verse for the next few weeks!
Scott is home and we are going to start our date night early with a early movie and dinner!
Blessings,
Pam

Welcome Back
Monday I went back to my old job. This is what was waiting for me! We were still eating on it today and there is plenty left for tomorrow! So yummy!
My cube! Home away from home you could say!
I have had a good week so far. At first I thought I had forgotten everything I ever knew about processing mortgage loans but now I am having trouble using the new passwords instead of the old ones. Which amazingly came back to me. Sometimes it is just like my mouse just goes where it is supposed to without me even thinking about it. 
Thank you all for the sweet comments left on my last post. Ya'll are great bloggy friends. Sorry I have been slacking again, there just aren't enough hours in my day.

With some crazy relatives that I won't claim! :)
Tomorrow is Coco's day to go to the dentist. She will be having the contraption below put in along with braces on her 4 front teeth. This will expand her whatever so the whatever will come in correctly to the tune of $1850.00. That is ok, I only had to pay $320, thank the good Lord for dental insurance. This is called a quad helix expander and she really does need it to make room for all her teeth to come down straight. It does not however guarantee we won't need braces later on, though.
Thank you all for the sweet comments left on my last post. Ya'll are great bloggy friends. Sorry I have been slacking again, there just aren't enough hours in my day.Please say a little prayer for my girl tomorrow, she is excited and doesn't seem nervous but I know after it is in she will be whinning and wanting me to remove it! Hopefully it will just be uncomfortable for a couple of days. I plan to explain to her what a wonderful time this is, it is not everyday you get an excuse to eat only ice cream and chocolate milkshakes!!!!!!
Blessings,

EASTER BUCKET
As promised The Bucket! I made this for Coco probably 4 years ago. It was the best $5.00 I ever spent.
The bucket is from the paint department in Walmart and I just added stickers and ribbon. It is a small one not the 5 gallon, but that could be fun too. She has used it every year and it is always the only 1 of it's kind! Not that it matters but she is unique! This year we are "coloring" eggs a different way too. I will show you once we do them on Saturday. Do you have a tradition of doing the eggs on Saturday before Easter? We have always done it that way. She knows the reason we celebrate Easter and we continue to teach that but we have fun with the eggs and spirit of egg hunts, too.
She also gets a special surprise each year on Easter morning. Our yard is usually full of hidden eggs for her. Our neighbor started doing this for her about 2 years ago and it is so fun to see her run out in her pj's and try to find all the eggs and we have never told her who does it. Someday we'll tell her.
Another thing I did this year for our egg hunt at my Mom's is fill this little pinata chick with lots of goodies for the kids! I think they will have a blast with it. I just hope it doesn't rain us out. If so Mom has a big front porch or the garage if we have to!

THE JOB!!!!!!!!!
I am going back to my previous employer. There was just to many things that were positive about going back vs. staying where I am. The current employer was very understanding when I gave my notice today. I gave 2 weeks notice and I will be leaving in good standing so I will be eligible for rehire. That made me happy because I didn't want to burn a bridge I might need someday! The old co-workers are happy that I am coming back too. They are planning a party, they say! It will be like going home! I get all the same benefits and will still get to keep my 5 year anniversary so that I get 3 weeks vaca this year! Whoo Hooo I like more time off with pay!
I am excited!
Wishing you all a blessed Friday!

FRIEND MAKING MONDAYS AND FREAKING OUT
Time for FMM again. Kasey has a fun one this week!
List 10 things that make you MAD!!!
1. Rude drivers. I was backing out of a parking space at Target yesterday and some yeawho was coming down the isle and started honking because he obviously was in a hurry to get to the mall. I followed him!!!!!
2. When people say they are fine! You know there is a problem but they just keep saying their fine instead of letting it out. I am bad about saying what is on my mind, some might think it is a flaw but I look at it as "you know what I am feeling or thinking"
3. When people judge you as a Christian. Non-Christians expect us to be perfect and it is never going to happen. There was only 1 and he gave his life for us! So go to church and learn about Jesus before judging me!
4. Bad Customer Service. I agree with Kasey. I didn't tell you to go to work at 7-eleven or Dillards. You are getting paid to do a job and listen honey, when you give good customer service people will come back and that means job security!!!!!! Oh and please double check my order to make sure it is correct!
5. Parents that complain about teachers, scout leaders, etc. Lots of these people are volunteers and if you don't like the way it is handled, you volunteer and do it yourself!
6. Leaving your cups in the living room. Pick it up and put it in the sink.
7. When people lie to your face!
8. 2 faced people.
9. People that think they are better than others. No one is better, some are just more fortunate!
10. When someone puts you down in front of others, just to make themselves feel bigger!
Whew that got me all stirred up!
I need prayer, I am freaking out!!!!
My old employer called me today to tell me my old job is open and it is mine if I want it. Oh my. I don't know what to do. I will give you a few of the differences and maybe you can give me some advice please..
New Job:
1. $12,000+ less per year
2. Longer commute
3. Rewarding- help people keep their homes
4. Possible opportunities in other positions later on.
5. Don't know the payscale of the the other positions
Old Job:
1. $12,000+ more per year
2. Would walk back in like I was never laid off. All benefits would be reinstated. Including vacation, etc.
3. Rewarding- Helping people buy/refi homes.
4. No opportunity for advancement without moving or if they buy more branches
5. Would I be layed off again if the home sales don't continue to increase.
What would you do? I don't want to burn my bridges but would the new employer understand and make me eligible for rehire???? I just don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GIVEAWAY WINNER
Hi ya'll!
I used the random generator and the winning comment is #2 Candie! Email me at creech03(at)cox(dot)net with your mailing address and I will get your postit note holder out to you!
I have great news! I will be employed as of next Monday! That is if I don't flunk the drug test. I don't think it will be a problem except I have taken a ton of cold medicine this weekend trying to get over a sinus issue. Anyhoo, I had a interview with a large bank in our area last Thursday and got a call on Friday for a 2nd interview for today. They called about a hour later and offered me the position. Whoo Hooo
I will be doing something totally different but still within the mortgage industry, so I am excited to try something new. I have processed loans for the past 13 years and now I will be working in Loss Mitigation, helping people having trouble making their payments before they get to the foreclosure stage. I think this will be very rewarding and since the bank is so large there will be lots of room for growth.
I only have 6 days left of being at home so I am going to get busy and finish all these little projects I wanted to do. I think I will also catch a movie this week! Doesn't that sound fun!!!
On to something else CAN YOU BELIEVE THE BACHELOR?????? That was just to weird. I am thinking he is working on being a actor or something. I can't wrap my head around it just yet! Tomorrow night he will probably break up with Molly and Deanna will be back! I don't even know if I will watch the next one, Jason broke my heart and he is not the man I thought he was!!!!!!!!!
Gotta get to bed
Blessings,
Pam
p.s. Congrats to Candie on the win!!!!
