Hello to all!

Obviously I am horrible about remembering to keep up with this. So my New Year's resolution is to improve my communication skills and actually maintain my blog page. That's just one of many. So, moving right along. The picture at the top is of a little pool of water that was formed in an alcove of limestone. We actually got to see the water dripping out of the limestone while we were taking this picture. More about where the pic was taken further down, but I just wanted to explain that pic real quick.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. The boys and I have had a great one. I've been enjoying 2 weeks of vacation and have to go back to work on Monday. I've decided this is what it must feel like to win the lottery, and boy am I going to start playing!! :) Anyway, the boys have been out of school for a little over 2 weeks as well and they go back to it Monday.

They spent the first week of their vacation with their dad, which really surprised me. Every time an extended stay has been a possibility, he's got some reason as to why he can't take them for more than the weekend. The boys really liked being over there for that long, but I was SO glad when they finally came home.

It was great to have Teri here for Thanksgiving. I wish that one of these holidays we could all get together again. Miss y'all, a little at least.

I've got 11 days off in July and as of right now, Teri you may want to listen up here, I plan on heading to Kentucky for a visit there, and then Donnie and Brenda, this is your hint, on to Donnie and Brenda's for a visit. That's the plan anyway, we'll see what actually happens.

The kids and I went out to Guadalupe River State Park last week. We had some truly amazing weather and I couldn't pass up an hour drive through the hill country and some exploring in a park we've never been to. I actually remembered to take my camera with me, so I'll post those pictures. Some of them actually turned out looking almost professional. lol anyway.

As for my personal life, I'm back to being single. Maybe I'm just getting way to picky in my advancing years or I spend way too much time thinking something is going to go wrong so then it does. To my way of thinking if you're going to get your feeling hurt because I can't spend 20 minutes on the phone with you during my 45 minute lunch break, hold on, I know what you're thinking, it takes me 20 minutes to heat up my food, in our area we only have 2 microwaves between 30 people, so it takes awhile, I could take a sandwich, but before our Christmas break I was so sick of ham and cheese, or turkey or bologna that I couldn't force myself to eat another sandwich. So anyway, that leaves me 20 minutes to eat and 3 to go to the bathroom because I have to be back on the line 2 minutes before end of break. I don't like eating when I'm on the phone so therefore, I don't talk on the phone during my lunch. Anyway, he got really upset with me and I could tell I hurt his feelings and after work I tried to make up for it but things just were not the same after that. Again, probably my fault for looking for something to go wrong and then finding something.

Ok, I don't think I left anything out, and if I did, let me know so I can add it in. The following are the pics from Guadalupe. Talk to y'all soon!!! Love yous guys!!
