It is crunch time

Greetings in the name of our Lord & Savior. My family and I got back from church just a few hours ago. We had lunch and the children went down for their naps. My wife & I then started doing some last minute packing. Most of the things I will be taking with me was packed this morning. Now all that is left to pack is my razor, deoderant, toothpaste, & tooth brush. Ofcourse, there was a lot of weepy moments followed by hugs. I know we are both going to be in tears at 1930. It has been over 2 1/2 years since we did this last time. I never thought I would be doing it again. I kept telling myself that I would never go OTR again. Good thing I didn't get rid of my CDL.

Love,

Teaching my daughter to play with food?

Greetings in the name of our Lord & savior Jesus Christ. We are currently in Shawnee, OK doing laundry & shopping. This our last big outing before I go back on the road. The big thing for me was making sure all the laundry was done up before I left.

This morning I was getting ready to make breakfast wraps. My 4yo daughter asked if she could have cold cerial. Went decided to go ahead & let her have cerial since I knew she would not eat breakfast wraps (yes, she is a comie. Lol). She ate most of the cerial but not all of it & said she was done. She was eating Captain Crunch Berry & I asked if she can eat 2 blues. So she scooped 2 blue "berries" onto her spoon and ate them. I then asked if she can eat 10 yellows & she did. We continued with this til she ate it all up.

So much for plan B

Greetings in the name of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. How is everyone doing? I pray that everyone finds this blog in good health & spirits. It looks like we may finally get some rain today. It would be nice if it stayed cool & rained a little bit.

Yesterday we were supposed to make a run to Shawnee, OK & take care of some shopping, library & laundry. We didn't make it because everyone was too tired & cranky. So we decided to leave early this morning. Well, I had trouble sleeping & Micah kept crying last night. Leaving early didn't work. We do have to take care of the laundry today since I leave for Dallas tomarrow. So, we will make it out there today.

Leaving Sunday @ 1930

Greetings in the name of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. How is everyone doing? I pray that everyone finds this blog in good health & spirit. There is no turning back now. Werner got me tickets today. I went down to Jefferson Bus Lines in Okemah, OK. to get the tickets. I leave out of Okemah on Sunday @ 1930. I will be in Oklahoma City @ 2045. I will then get onto Greyhound & will be in Dallas South Park & Ride, TX on Monday @ 0700. Orientation starts Monday @ 0700 but they made a note that I will be a little late.

It is going to be a busy day Sunday. We will be going to church in Okemah & then I have to get packed and make sure I have everything. It is a good thing that the loving people @ Sertco gave me lots of snacks for the trips because I am going to be hungry Monday morning. Thanks.

In Between Jobs

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior. Today was my last day at Sertco. I guess you could say that I am now in between jobs since technically, Werner has not really hired me yet. They can't hire me until I have hand written an application, passed a DOT physical, and passed a drug test. All of this is DOT law. I will get on a bus Sunday to go to Dallas, TX where I will attend an orientation class. There, they will take care of all the above things plus take care of other paper work and tell me about the company. After orientation, I will have to drive 140 hours with a trainer since I have been out of the truck for more then 2 years. I will then go to a terminal and pick up my truck and drive solo cross country. It is going to feel weird driving with a trainer since I was a trainer myself. But I kind of like going with a trainer at first since I have been out of the truck for over 2 years. It gives me a chance to get use to being on the road again.

My last day at Sertco was pretty good. I was given hugs, the people in the office gave me parting gifts and had an ice cream cake, and the south building asked me to sing "Tip-toe through the tulips" by Tiny Tim. They all stood around watching me do the Tiny Tim act as I sang and they all clapped when I finished. I was a star for a minute (lol). They all really made me feel good. I will miss working with all the people at Sertco. I love them all very much.

At work I concentrated on getting my work places cleaned and organized. I bothers me that Sertco didn't have a person taking my spot so I could show them what to do and where everything is. So, I showed June, who is a mechanic, where the maintenance records are for the lawn mower is and I posted the different things that had to be done each day. I organized everything so that everything could be found. I know what it is like to start a job with no one to show you where things are and what to do because when I started at Sertco I didn't really have anyone showing me what to do. They had a welder showing me some things but he was also welding.


Well, I am currently in Shawnee, OK. Got to pick up a few things and then get home. I will update you all on what is happening. Take care and God Bless.

Last day at Sertco

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. How is everyone doing? I pray that everyone finds this blog in good health and spirits. I am doing good. Today is my last day working for Sertco. I have been spending the morning getting my work spaces cleaned up and organized for the next person to take over Janitorial/Grounds Keeping. So far they do not have anyone hired to take the job. So far everyone who tried out the job has quit.

Tomarrow my wife and I will be going to Shawnee to buy some things and do laundry. Saturday I will mow our yard and get things packed and ready for my trip to Dallas, TX. I will be on the bus to Dallas on Sunday and have to be in orientation on Monday. The next few days are going to be very busy.

Well, my lunch break is almost over. I will blog more later. Take care and God Bless.
