Upcoming Custody Hearing & Stuff
Well, Iām back to taking medication for stomach irritation. I started again after another worthless doctorās appointment. Iām tired of wasting my leave time at work to just be shifted back and forth to the same few doctors. What really makes me mad is after seeing Dr. Po and learning he didnāt feel I needed surgery and the vomiting and nausea weāre not coming from his specially area, the rear, heā¦

Stop TWEETING Already!
What is going on with our government? Why canāt Trump stop tweeting?
Iām so sick of hearing about stupid stuff the President is doing. Act presidential for crying out loud.
So much time is being wasted on his tweets, especially the wire-tapping tweet.
Then, thereās the travel ban, the Russian brolove, the border wall, healthcare, and all the fighting back with every single person or entireā¦

Hey GEICO-I'm done
Hey GEICO-Iām done
I was looking forward to this past Monday. I had plans with my BFF since middle school for dinner with our husbands at a place called The Cove, one of my favorites. Best fish tacos not made in Mexico.
Had just left work, headed home. Sitting at a traffic light on George St in York. I was checking out the vintage Jeep dealership looking for āJeeps: Wanted Dead or Aliveā when a gray blur sideswipedā¦

I'm a case worker. Someone save me.
Iām a case worker. Someone saveĀ me.
Today, those of us in training learned our assigned units. I was assigned to the GEMS unit. GEMS doesnāt stand for anything. They just wanted a name that was appropriate for the value of the workers who manage the ongoing cases once the Intake unit determines someone is eligible. GEMS is better than Ongoing Cases unit. Thatās so dismal sounding.
Itās pretty much sink or swim at this case workerā¦

Today I was told something that no one ever wants to hear, something that Iāve dreaded hearing for years now. My mom went back in the hospital yesterday, after being out for a few days, after being in for 19 days, because they removed her permanent port (direct IV line) for the last time. She has had 5 ports now and each lead to her getting blood infections.
Today, on my way home from work, she told me the doctors said thereās nothing else they can do. Her organs are slowly shutting down and they said it could go as quickly as a month or as long as a year. My mom is going to die way too young. My mom and I are really close and I canāt wrap my head around her not being a phone call away. I see my friends share posts about missing their mom after they pass and Iām always thankful I still have my mom. My dad is calling Pittsburgh, another hospital she frequents, and see if they will admit her for a third opinion. I know sheās been sick for a long time, but 65 is too young to die. Itās just not right. My mom is awesome and never did anything to anyone. I pray for her all the time. Would you pray for her also? Her name is Lorrie and sheās a wonderful mom. Pray there is a doctor that can stop her organs from shutting down.
Thank you,
~P.

A Day of Awesomeness
A Day ofĀ Awesomeness
Today was just awesome. My husband was baptized AND my daughter Tesla. Thatās right, a twofer today, in Heaven. You know thereās a celebration going on as two more believers shared their stories of accepting Jesus as their personal savior. This year our church has had 109 come forward to be baptized. That is God working there.
The day wasnāt without drama. Tesla mentioned to her father the nightā¦

7 Month Sentence
Life is just crazy. The things that happen, sometimes we see coming, other times weāre blindsided. Thatās how it is for everyone.
I donāt write as much as I used to, but Iāve really been thinking about writing my book. Iām just not sure how to go about it. Really, with how life is going, I am still tied to my ex-husband. Tied through the mortgage for the house and, of course, having a childā¦

Working with Those in Poverty
Working with Those inĀ Poverty
I had my first day of training in Harrisburg for my new position as an Income Maintenance Case Manager. I had my doubts about the first day because the speaker was going to talk to us about poverty. I wasnāt sure what exactly she was going to say. Iāve seen poverty in India and know that poverty there is much different than poverty in America, but just the same, it is poverty.

Tesla and I met my nephew, Blaine, and my sister, Suz, and went to see our grandmother. Sheās my dadās mom and weāve always called her Nanny. For the most part, everyone calls her Nanny.
Nanny isnāt doing so well. My aunt, Jane, texted me today while we were working that she was told Nanny only has a few more days. Iām surprised at how fast she suddenly took that turn. Two weekends ago when Teslaā¦

A MisText: Texting the WrongĀ Number
I was reading my Facebook feed, catching up on my friendās day. I came across this status update by my friend from high school, Ben Snelbaker:
My daughter got this text last night by mistake, it is so heartfelt that I had to pass it along. Im doing this in hopes that people will put her in there prayers or want to reach out and say some kind words to her. My daughter text her back and I text herā¦

I havenāt written about life in a long while. My need to write or fear or explosion is gone, but this not writing at all is unacceptable. Itās my husband and television to blame.
I had someone who has been reading my blog from the beginning in one day dropped me a note.
Hi! I just found your blog today and really love your writing!! Itās comical, edgy, and heart wrenching all in one!

Opinions: everyone has them
I read something yesterday that at first really didnāt bother me that much.
Iām very involved in social media because it allows me to be social with friends and family and stay in touch.
So what bothered me, after thinking about it all day, was my third cousinās post about being old-fashioned in the sense that he doesnāt believe inā¦hold on, Iāll just copy his post.

What was Esther Schmucker doing on Mother's Day?
Every now and then I check-in on my buddy Estherās Facebook Page. See what sheās up to and all. Itās been pretty dry lately, no mention of what sheās been sewing or baking. I scrolled down to see if she made any type of particularly moving post on Motherās Day because while mothers were celebrating, Esther was busy becoming a third time mom.
On Motherās Day, Esther became mom to āBaby Cā a girl,ā¦

Mentoring for Jesus
Follow Him and you canāt go wrong
Last night Brian and I met with the youth pastor at our church. We want to volunteer Wednesday nights with the youth group and be mentors to high school students. We both feel strongly about this, especially me, because I want to make myself available to youth who are vulnerable at this tender age.
Weāre not volunteering for this position because we think we areā¦

I Hit the Lottery
Itās been an exhausting day. Not so much physically as mentally.
My morning began with learning a new job at work. Iām all about learning at work because I like where I work. Itās less than 15 minutes from home, I make my own schedule, my boss is super cool and the employees are really nice people. I guess the downside of my job is I donāt get paid as much as Iām worth, but hey, the rest makesā¦

While taking Marine Biology with Dr. Nolan at York College of Pennsylvania, I went on the required laboratory trip to Wallops Island and Assateague Island in Virginia. We fished the Chesapeake Bay for any sea life we could catch and were lucky enough to find a variety of creatures. This was my last course at York College and a great way to wrap up my college career.
