WOW!! What a crazy three months it has been as many of you may or may not know on August 1 After being at KSL Radio for the past 5 years I lost my job. One word for ya all "SUCKS".
Not only did I lose a job that I LOVED it was my little Audrey Ann's birthday.In radio you are lucky to be at a radio station for that long so on one hand I felt blessed on the other hand I was lost and sad and not sure how I was going to make ends meet and how I was going to take care of my 3 girls.But somehow, someway, we managed! I am so blessed to have a great family and a BUNCH of great friends.( and Lisa listening to me cry everyday!)
I looked for a radio job and of course there was a few in Utah but nothing panned out. A few interviews for stations in California and New Mexico, but I really didn't want to move my girls away form Nana and Papa and I would have a hard time leaving my Jayson and Ashton.

I went on a interview on October 31 for a job working for a hospice company and meet one of the kindest women I have ever meet her name is Debbie Michealson and on November 1, she offered me a job and Yes I took it. At first I was sacred and nervous having never done anything but broadcasting but after being there for 2 weeks I LOVE IT. Its is a challenge but I smile everyday that I wake up. So for now it is perfect.
At this time of year it is rough on a lot of people and I am blessed to have a job at all and look forward to what the future holds hospice or radio whatever it maybe at this time I am grateful.

Now if I can only make it through the next 3 weeks with the girls off track, me working crazy long hours and Lee taking care of them and the household responsibilities. WISH ME LUCK!!!

Amazing Men and Birthday wishes!

Tonight I wanted to take some time and talk about some amazing men...If you are going to read this post please read all the way to the end.
First of all let me start this by saying I do not personally know all of these men I actually only know one of them....I will talk a bit abut each one in no particular order

John McCain a very courageous man that has given so very much to so many people who honestly feels he is doing the right thing at all times. He fought for our country and sacrificed so very much and for that I am so very grateful.And if he is elected to be the president of this great country I do believe he could do a good job.

Barack Obama a very intelligent strong man that has a very promising future no matter what happens on November 4.I probablly admire him most for the way he treats his family the way he looks at his wife and beautiful daughters, if every man looked at there spouse the way Obama looks at Michelle the world would be a much different place. His views on family and parent make me want to be a better mom.There are so many other things I admire and look up to him for but I know most people who read my blog are republicans and I dont want this to be a political blog so I will not go there.

Anderson Cooper ahh heck just look at the man!! One of the most intellgent most handsome men god has created.

And most importantly.....

Richard Uribe "Papa"
Papa is a man of great dignity, honor and strength.
His merits are noble, and of admirable length.
He's far greater than all other men that I know,He's my Dad, he's my mentor, my friend and my hero.
Papa is the most generous, kind, giving, loving, forgiving man I have ever met.I was so honored to become apart of his family when I was 18 years old (I am much older now). He has always treated me like his daughter, has always loved me like I was one of his own, he has never judged me, never told me what to do, has always leaned his ear in a time of "jackie ramblings" things have not always been the best in our relationship but never once did he stop loving me or my children. He is truely the most AMAZING man that I know.
Today I wish him a very happy birthday and hope that he knows how blessed we are to have him in our lives. Lee, myself, Alliyah, Audrey and Ayden are so much better people because of the example he is.

You mean so very much to me,
And I want you to know
That you are always in my heart,
No matter where I go.

You're always giving, always there
To help in any way;
The loving things you've done for me,
I never could repay.

I can't imagine what I'd do
Without the love you give.
I'll treasure your sweet heart of gold
As long as I shall live.

Papa I love you so very much and wish you a happy birthday.

Never ending sickness......

I often think that there should be some type of law that allows mothers to NEVER BE SICK!!!!!!
It has been two weeks now and the family is just starting to fell better after 4 trips to the doctors office, not only did we have the stomach flu but also a chest cold. My house of course has been a disaster for 2 weeks my kids have had their hair brushed maybe 6 days out of the past 2 weeks. Thank goodness for a little bit of antibiotics.... NOW if I could just stop hurting myself I am so clumsy and I will be the first to admit that.

So I am not as good as Aunt Robyn at this blogging thing but heck if Papa can do it then well I think I might be able to handle it. Lee said maybe it will keep you of the phone, I can't help it if I enjoy talking after all that is how I have made my living for the past 14 years!. Let me just warn you that if you are going to be reading my blogs on a regular basis I tend to ramble and ramble and well ramble and I cannot spell to save my life, I had to buy a dictionary so I could help my 8 year old spell. I will try to warn you before I go off and ramble so if you are afraid of commitment then you can bail out .....
We had a great weekend we went to watch our superstar nephew Carter play soccer and he and his team are pretty darn good ( I sounded a bit like Sarah Palin there "DARN GOOD")
Nana and Papa went to Lake Powell so we went to hang with Grandpa who is almost 100 years old ( that might be a bit off I am sure I will hear about it if I am wrong) and still as spunky as ever he really enjoys the girls just watching them run around and be loud makes him smile. He suprises me everytime I see him he is the defenition of the energizer bunny he really keeps going and going.

Well I think I have rambled enough for my first blog. I look forward to sharing blogs with you all and
hope that you enjoy my ramblings as well.
Have a great week!
