Unbelievable!

What a week it has been...

Sunday I cleaned my rear end off... my Aunt was here Monday. I worked for 90 minutes Monday and then spent the rest of the day with her. We had a lot of fun, and ate some great food! We ate
here for lunch and here for dinner. SO SO SO good. We watched the movie "Date Night" (I had watched it Sunday) and laughed our butts off. She left Tuesday morning before I even left for work, she was missin' her babies!

Monday during the movie I received a call that I had gotten the job promotion I had applied and interviewed for. I was SO excited and happy. Tues and Wed went by so quick, knowing that I was going to be starting a new job and because the Bman was out of town. I cleaned my office out, cleaned up the office some - it was just a great week thus far.

Thursday I get to the office and have a voice mail from the Bman...
"Kelli, if you're on speaker pick the phone up. I want to apologize for the way things have turned out... (phone starts cutting out) ... go ahead and ship the laptop back to the office (phone goes silent for about 10 seconds) ... again I'm really sorry. There should be an email coming out shortly, if you haven't gotten it already. I'm in training so I'll have to call you on my next break." I immediately started shaking, not really understanding what had just happened. Was I being fired? Did I lose the promtion? I tried to call Bman, of course no answer. I tried to call the hiring manager, no answer. The more I thought about it, the more worried I got. I was afraid the past few months trouble with the Bman was taking its toll, so I tried to call HR, no answer. I sent a text to Bman "WTF? Did you just fire me?" About an hour later he finally called and was laughing! Are you kidding me?!?!? I freaked out on him, what is going on? His phone was STILL breaking up, so he hung up. He called me a minute or so later, no he wasn't firing me! Whew... BUT. I lost the promotion. The company is making some alignment changes and will be eliminating this position soon. It is disappointing but oh my gosh is God good! If I would have transitioned to this new position, I would have been out of a job within the next 30-90 days. Yikes! So, I am beyond thankful that I have a job and will wait for the next opportunity to arise.

Friday was kind of painful since our numbers stink right now and because it was the last day for one of our reps. This guy was liked by everybody on the team, which it has been quite awhile since we've had that. He will be greatly missed!

Today so far has been busy. Supposed to be going to a friends house to watch the Iowa game, but I can't get Jax to leave my side. He is scared to death of storms... he is half laying on me, half laying on the couch as I type this with his eyes wide open. Let's hope this storm passes soon so I can head out!

Hope you've had a better week and have a great weekend!

post race celebration... training bra for one of our "newer" committee members who did an amazing job!

storm!

deer in my back yard, Jax went nuts!

this is what happens when you try to "play" with Mama kitty, she attacks!!

and this is what happens to Jax's white paws when he follows Mama and his Papa around all day, literally all day, while we're mowing

I was able to help S celebrate her birthday while in Iowa

the "baby bird"... inside joke between my Pa and I

Jax loving the fresh air

on the way to Iowa, he would NOT lay down this time

not laying down still

he laid down for maybe 5 mintues the entire 4.5 hour drive

A&K ... love her! My BFF

Been too long

I am not sure if anybody even still reads my blog, which is fine. I thought I'd post more frequently on blogger for awhile since there seems to be tooooo much drama on FB and I'm not sure if I'm ready to delete the people creating that drama or to just take a break, so taking a break I am :)

In May I celebrated the big 3-0. Nothing really changed except I left the 20's. My mom had planned on coming down with my nephew and neice and when they got here they surprised me with my Aunt. A great surprise and we had a great weekend!

In June I drove myself to the ER and was hospitalized for a few days. I woke up on a Saturday after sleeping downstairs with Jax and went to take him outside. From the staircase to the patio door, which is only about 10 feet, at that, I was out of breath. I wasn't sure if it was just because it was so muggy or just waking up and being so muggy out so I didn't think a whole lot of it. I went upstairs to shower and thought I was going to die by the time I made it to the top of the stairs. I was scared as heck by that time. I went and laid down in my bed and after a few minutes I seemed to be fine. I laid there for awhile, nothing changed but I was still worried. I decided if I was going to have to do the Dr I needed a shower. From my bed to the bathroom I was in tears, I couldn't breathe. I took a quick shower, threw on some clothes and got in the car. On the way there I called my parents and told them they might want to pack their bags and head down... oh and I also combed my hair :) I got to the ER and told them I was having a hard time breathing but no chest pains. The nurse comes out with a wheel chair and says "I understand you're having chest pains"... wth? Did I come to the right hospital? I quickly explained it wasn't chest pains. My oxygen was really low so they quickly put me on oxygen and put an iv in. The problem: blood clots in my lungs. The culprit: birth control. I was released on Monday from the hostpial with restricted orders to stay home until the doc gave the green light to go back. I also had to give myself shots daily...oi-vey. Do ya'll know how much I hate needles? Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. It burned for a few seconds once the needle came out but it was such a small needle. So far, I'm back at work (after a full week off) and taking oral meds once a day. I was having to go once a week to have my INR (blood level) taken but as of two weeks ago I'm down to every two weeks.

July... nothing real exciting. Full force of getting ready for the 2010 Susan G Komen Kansas City Race for the Cure. Jax and I stayed home for the 4th - he was scared of the fireworks. Poor guy! I did go back to Iowa for a week and it was great being able to spend time with family and friends, never long enough!

August... started off with my BFF coming down for the weekend. Loved having her here and wish we could see each other more often. The following weeeknd was the Race and man was it HOT. But, it went very well and I'm ready for 2011! We had our post-race celebration a few weeks later, it was good to see everyone out of their Komen gear and being able to relax!

September has brought some major life changes and I hoping for a job change. I am ready for the challenge in both my personal and professional life!

I think thats all for now... I'm going to do a separate post with some pics since blogger always messes up a post if I add pictures after I write.
