I Promise I am not Dead

OK…so for all of those people who think I have fallen off the face of the earth, I wanted to let you know that I am alive and well and busy as all get out. In the pre-MTCI days, I am the time to MySpace all day and still get crap done around the house. Now that I am working again the last thing I want to do when I come home is sit in front of the computer some more. For those of you who don’t know, I am the accounts receivable manager for a government contracting firm now. In other words, I make all the money for the company. Some might say big deal but it is. Thanks to me the company makes over 1 million in revenue every month. Anyway, on top of my job, I have also taken over as FRG Advisor for Shawn’s squadron since the real advisor deployed to Iraq two weeks ago. As if I didn’t have enough with work, I add something else to my plate that I am totally unprepared for and have no clue what I am doing. I think it will be interesting but I am wondering more and more what I got myself into. I haven’t been an FRG leader before nor have I had the time to take any of the training. Man, am I in over my head.

And then there is the church retreat. Why did I say yes to that!?! I am enjoying being apart of something at the church but I didn’t realize it would take so much time.

That doesn’t include spending time with Shawn and all the other functions I have to attend right now. So, in case you were wondering why I have sent you a comment or written back to a message, it isn’t because I am ignoring you or that I don’t like you. I just simply haven’t had the time. Very few people are actually getting responses from me right now. It is not personal and please don’t remove me from your friend list because of it.
