Sleepy Sunday

Know what I did after church? I got on the couch and took a LONG nap! I didn't feel especially great so I slept all afternoon. A cold front started making its way through while we were in church so the temps had dropped quite a bit by the time we got out. It had turned into a sleepy day for sure.

Our vacations are over and it's back to work tomorrow! I have thoroughly enjoyed my time off but it's time to get back at it. I wonder if anyone even noticed I was gone? Hmmmm.....? I have been with Edward Jones almost 15 months now and can truly say, I love my job! It's an awful feeling having to go to a job where you aren't happy. My sister had lunch with her best friend, Paige Smith, who just happens to be one of the bosses at Sam Houston State University. She said they talked about the day I left there and how much Paige cried. I knew she did but it feels good hearing it again and reminiscing about all the good friends I made in my 5+ years there. Paige told her that everytime someone asks when the last time some particular task was done in my old job in Contracts and Grants, the answer is always, "WHEN SHEILA WAS HERE!" Now that reeeeally made me feel good! She said I would really enjoy working there now, since they have a new boss and the work load has been divided up. Irma and I struggled to keep the work caught up in near impossible circumstances for nearly three years. Now that same office has SIX employees so I think we did a pretty good job, all things considered. I am thankful for the experience I gained and the confidence they had in me but am equally thankful that God opened another door for me...a better door in a completely new direction! Who'd-a-thunk it? Like I always say....God is good all the time! You guys have an awesome week!
