Moving on Up! (Jeffersons Theme)

Some of you know I was applying for two jobs. One was the Border Patrol in which I had already passed the test and was onto the physical fitness test. Technically I was hired for Border Patrol pending the rest of the requirements. I was doing my sit-up and push-ups... This job was $45 a year without a degree. I was really excited about the dollar amounts and being able to provide that to my kids. Of course kids did not want to move!

The other position that I was going for was North Harris.I got hired for Lone Star-North Harris and my first day was Monday the 17th of November. I am so excited! That was the best birthday present ever! Monday first day of work and Tues my birthday! My title is Department Assistant with the Retention and Recruiting Dept. I really love this Department. I use to get money per semester for working with them in recruiting and when the mess with Adolfo happened I had to stop. Then even when I wasn't going to school I would stop in and volunteer to wk for free by speaking at a school or set up a presentation table at a High School etc. In the back of my mind I always hoped to work here and wanted to get to know and volunteer to increase my chances of being hired hired. Well, my wishes came true when I popped in to say Hi one day to say hi! and they said they had a opening and encouraged me to apply. and WaLa! I get paid double what I get paid with SISD and to top it off I am just about seven minutes away from work! Neat hum!

Happy Birthday to me!

Lets hop! I had a few friends over to celebrate my birthday at the Hop! The Hop is a 80s club. They allowed you to bring food and provided the place with balloons and table clothes. It was neat we had cheesecake, shrimp, tortilla rolls, grapes and cheese. We danced to michael jackson and cindi lauper! It was fun! My b-day was Tues the 18th of November.

Hurricane IKaramba!

Boy, I was smart and left for Corpus ASAP. It was adolfos weekend with kids. They texted grandma too with all the details of the storm. They texted around 3am about the strong winds and they 6 am with details of the scarey quietness. Adolfo had them for a whole week because I didn't want to return to Houston because my electricity was still off. Adolfo had his on pretty quickly. After the storm the kids were in Corpus for two days and spent most of the time his Houston. His girlfriend went with them to C.C. and then returned and stayed with adolfo and the kids in Houston all that week.

When I returned to Houston you should of seen all the trees that fell down! My oldest son Amalekia stayed alone in the house with no electricity and with other members of the church helped cut down my tree and put in the front yard. My tree fell on the fence in the backyard and broke it. I was so so grateful it didn't hit the house. Trees were down like crazy! There were some people that took longer to get there electricity on.

I felt good because as I was in Corpus u could see all the people trying to help galvestion and houston. Just awhile ago we were rallying to help them when we thought it was going to go in that direction.

The house that is in the picture is not mine! But thats is what you would see all overe town. Trees down all over the place.
