I will give you summary a little later. As now need to get ready for work and school rum etc. Chat later. BTW it all sounds really good. Which job is Hubby leaning towards?
School rum? If my school had rum I probably would have liked it better!
I think hubby is liking the job in Oklahoma the best. He says it sounds like a more interesting job with lots of opportunities to advance his career. So as long as he does well on the test and they offer a decent base pay, it will probably be the one he chooses. Me and Google maps have done a full tour of the neighborhood, did a little online house shopping/pricing and I'm feeling optimistic that it may be an area to finally put down some real roots. But first, we need the official job offer[emoji28]

He so agreeable and full of “yes mams” that it’s sickening.. I can’t seem to really get through.. and usually I’m good at that.. I have asked him what he wants, we he likes, etc... I’m just not sure what to believe from him now..:-(
It is difficult. You can`t look into his head. I hope he soon will know that you are honest with him and he has to be honest with you too or things could turn bad for him when he does not want to go to school.:(
Really difficult situation. I wish you much strength Heather.

Good morning! Nice to have multiple job offers! I’m sure you are probably aware, but be careful of Oklahoma’s Tornado Alley.

I feel like I need someone to point me to a thread (or a page in this thread) for more background about this one. I don't want to ask tons of questions because I get the feeling most of them have been discussed previously. However, I would like to be more helpful, and context helps. :)

Look! It's a stranger, o wait.. it's just me

Hope everybody is well, perhaps Carol will give me one of her awesome summaries.
Hubby is currently dealing with an "offer war" between three jobs, apparently his resume was quite the catch (I'll take credit for that).
We are currently looking at jobs in..
Oklahoma- this interview was just a couple days ago and it went really well, but they want to do a "test" online before deciding what pay they want to offer. The benefits package are amazing though!
Texas- we we're looking at two jobs here but declined one. The remaining possiblity is a newer company that really needs a full time mechanic/technician, they originally offered an "entry-level" pay which we had turned down but they contacted us back with a new, more reasonable offer. This was after four machines went down in a week and they had to hire people to come in and fix them. Apparently the cost was enough for them to rethink having someone with experience on hand. Benefits are OK.
Montana- I think I mentioned this one last time I was on. The interview went great but there is a lot of pros and cons about the job. Only a couple days after the interview they contacted us back and requested ANOTHER interview before we had given a response to their offer. They have made it clear that they may want to increase the offer if this one goes well also. The pros for this job are that this is a management job and hubby will be running his own shop with a small crew, they offer a monthly bonus depending on how profitable business was, it's in a VERY small town. Cons are that insurance is pretty high and the actual base pay isn't that great.
We turned down the job in Missouri.
I decided not to do the large commission piece, the individual just couldn't seem to decide on what they wanted so I told them that I wasn't sure if I would have time to complete it before the move.
I Ruined the piece that I was working on after I spilt a glass of milk on it... Yep, I cried over the spilt milk.
So now im working on a different piece, trying out a new type of paper that I'm liking so far.
Daughter has been taking swimming lessons.. she takes after me and sinks like a rock.
Hubby has been trying to work on Clunker's wagon when the weather permits. When it's raining or to cold we try to get more stuff done inside the house.
Gosh I think that about sums it up for me! It's so nice to be able to chat about what's going on in my life, and to hear about what's going on in the lives of others.
Hello stranger. Good you have popped in and gave us a summary what happend to you.
Hopefully you and hubby get soon new jobs and a house, a home and place to live.
What a pity with the milk !
How does your sculpture with the unicorn ? Is it ready ? When yes, please, please show me pics.
Give Clunker a big kiss from me.:eek::D
Lots of love to you and your family.:):<3:

I’m sorta stressing today.
I’m hosting a mini family reunion Saturday and I’m cleaning which I told myself I wasn’t going to go crazy but one chore leads to another. I wanted our new closet done so I could fill it up with our clothes and get it all cleaned up but our contractor is working so slow it’s driving me crazy.
How many people will be coming? I feel for you!

Yep, know all about the tornado alley. I bet that makes house insurance a little higher

Thanks for the love Sabine.
I decided to postpone work on the unicorn until after we move, I would hate to put in all those tiny details and then it get damaged in the move. It's such a large piece that I'm sure it will get wacked at some point[emoji33]

Whahaha. I had just woken up. I think a lot of kids would enjoy school better if there was rum.
Sounds like you and Hubby are nearly. I bet you are looking forward to putting down permanent roots. I will hold thumbs that he gets the job offer and it is what he wants package wise.

Sorry I did not get a chance to do a summary.
So lets see:
Yvonne just had her friend over for the weekend who had lots of chores to do for her. He was picking up the babies she had ready for him.
Linda has been stung on her finger by a wasp and has been busy with governor meetings. Her shoulder is doing much better due swimming and she is back at yoga again.
Lena is away visiting Italy and Rome and the Vatican etc. And Some other places (I forget which)
Lyn has been having computer problems again but has been on sparodically. Otherwise she is good and Lola is his normal self.
Anne had to evacuate her house to her Moms place while storm/hurricane Michael was visiting. Anne has a lot of animals so it was not an easy job.
Mark has been building a new night box for sully and sending us teasers. We are still waiting for the full picture.
Todd has introduced Spud to us and is expecting a redfoot egg to arrive from Tortstork at the end of the month.
Ed has gotten himself a job at Lowes as he just did not like being retired. And his Mom survived Hurricane Michael.
Sabine is busy with her torts and has been popping in every now and then.
Bea has also been lurking.
Adam is still out there somewhere beneath the big blue sky.
Dan has not popped in for a while.
Dipa hasn't popped in either.
Heather has been busy. However her nephew is still giving her grief and just does not want to let her in.
Kathy is now completely fed up with all their renovations going on and has shot herself in the foot by inviting family around this weekend when everything is still in chaos.
Gillian and Luara both pop in and say Hi every now and then.
I hope I haven't forgotten anybody.

Good morning all!

Thanks for the recap Carol!

This week has proved stupidly, and unexpectedly, busy. Nothing interesting or bad... just busy!

I popped in to give Montgomery a quick dust and a cuddle. Is there anything we can do about the wool spider's Halloween decorations (if she exists)? They are getting out of hand! And her knitted winter sock stockpile in corner 6 is already growing [emoji849]
