    Default Lost in 3 different time zones!

    Well, DH and I took a trip out west for job interview. Spent a few days looking around, was suppose to leave on Sunday 2/25. Well, I get a phone call on Saturday - My dear mother passed away!!! So I flew from Denver to Chicago. Drove down state in a snow storm, Flew to Altanta on Monday - after a 3 hours delay - snow!. Spend a few days with Father and brothers, flew home on Saturday 3/3 just in time to go to worrk for 14 hours, Worked another 13 hours on Sunday. And another (extra 5 hours) today. I need some down time. So I apologize to everyone here. I feel out of sorts - but promise to get back to normal soon. Mom was ill for a long time, but I was not ready for her to past this soon. (Is anyone truely ready?) So ..... Thanks for understanding and thanks for those prayers and understanding when I go "off to think".

    P.S. I got the job in Colorado - If I want it. Yep, I want it!!!!

    I'm so sorry for your loss Ruth.
    You sure have been through alot and am glad you got the job you wanted. You take good care and don't worry about the swap, no hurry, I'm not going anywhere and it should be on the bottom of your priority list.
