THE KIDS A FULL-TIME COCA-COLA EMPLOYEE!!!

I prayed for this. I did.

I prayed my son would want to get a full time position at his current job. 

Hes a  part time employee for coke-cola warehouse, here in oklahoma city, oklahoma

He drives a forklift, and makes pallets for the trucks to deliver to places.

Hes a night shift employee.

And...i hate it! 

No even gonna lie. I hate it.

I take him in at 10pm, and sometimes get a call to go get him well before his scheduled time off of 6am, which means i leave my house around the 5am hour. I hate it. Hate it even more when its way before the scheduled time off...

For a while daniel never seemed interested in even asking for full time. Said the 3 nights he worked was enough. 

Yet, has dreams, that require...cash flow.

Cant full fill those without the cash to accomplish them. 

Recently, a friend of his told him hes quitting, moving onto another job, making more cash.

Told daniel to try for that position.

Last time daniel asked about full time he was told there was a 5 month? Or was it week? Waiting list. 

I told him to get on the list.

Then this guy gets a different job, tells daniel to try for it.

So...today, we went to see if hed get it.

In the meantime, he has a friend, also trying for this same job, or maybe asking for fulltime? Im not exactly sure, but maybe oscar (the friend) will get this job, and daniel wont...who knows. They are both trying at 3pm today. 

I neglected, when i prayed, to ask God for the full time job to be on the day shift. 

And as a result, ill have to suffer...

I should t complain, except im slready lacking sleep as a result of his working this part time night position, and its sbout to go 40 hours ( or the equvilant) full time. 

Maybe in another 7 months a day pisition will open up and hed consider taking it. 

He has friends on this shift, and changing positions is hard when you go to a new schedule and have to make all new friends and associates..i hate that part of any job, or move, or anything. I dont do change well. But thats me

Daniels taking  Steps to adulthood. One baby step at a time. 

Im not in a hurry to let him go, and he doesnt seem in a hurry to leave.

It works for me.

So, for the fact i can have my son, still in my life, i guess the night shift will be something i can get used to, if theres a consistsnt schedule (and im not called  to go pick him up st some insane hour like 3am or something).

UPDATE:
the freind has the same hours (so daniel says, anyway, was no real need for him to go try for the job.
we went to coke, daniel wasnt in there maybe 10 minutes returned with a whole new shedule.

8pm-6am 4 nights a week, wednesdays and saturdays off.

at least i can sleep..lol

pushes it tight tho for things to do in the evenings for church. but ill be ok, maybe craig can take him in instead, i dont have weekly things for church i do at night...its once a month, at best, but i do enjoy getting together, so maybe craig will sacrifice an hour for me to have some socialization with other females in my church.
well cross that bridge, i guess, when we get to it.

to celebrate i took daniel out to the movies, we hadnt been in a while to a theatre and i wanted some movie popcorn.
so we went to go see THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2- Angel of Death

i enjoy a good creepy movie, and this had that vibe.

best part? i paid 4 bucks for us to see the movie, daniel paid for the food, and spent like 26.00 lol
poor fella, got a full time job, and his mom exploided his good nature..lol

i DID ask, several times if he was sure he wanted to pay that much...he said yes, he would..lol

VALENTINES ANY OTHER WAY JUST WOULDNE BE AS FUN! (Valentines Day weekend speant at The Sanctuary OKC- Oklahomas Primier Haunted Attraction!)

so, im an actress, among other talents.

i work , most of the time as a volunteer (you have to really love the job, to get no pay, have rude patrons, be in the dark, cold/hot, and work on your feet from 8pm till midnight, and as late as 2am on super busy nights, gotta love doing it, for the sake of doing it...seriously) at Oklahomas Premier Haunted Attraction..The Sanctuary OKC.

Back story, just to get you up to speed:
 have to thank Andrea W. for even enlightening me about this place, i had no idea it even existed, for what ever reason, i wasnt in the loop of knowing about it until Andrea had asked me if i wanted to go to it, 2 years ago.
im down for anything fun, and exciting. so i said sure, i managed to convince  my guys (craig, and Daniel) to also go. bought our tickets online for the VIP access.
and went to have a little fun.
so, we go in, waited a few minutes.
it was our turn to have the walk through, and  we listened, and did the event.
LOVED IT!
wanted to be a aprt of ity, because when i was pregant with daniel, i worked another haunted house, so it would be like coming full circle to me, to do this again, this time WITH the kid, also acting..

so, that night, about midnight, 1am, whatever time it was i got in the door, i looked up The Sanctuary OKC online, and sent them an email asking if i could work for them, understanding it was going to be non paid (my other haunted house was also not paid)
so, that week, Daniel and myself had an interview, and a run down, and were hired.

that was thier 2nd year of being opened,

and my role was a disembowled paitient in a  surgical room.
next role was..a nun,
next role, i had craig in a room with me, and we played a couple.
next role i was a butcher cafe lady.
next role MRS CLAUSE (was the 1st year for that role, and i got to play it!)
then this weekends role: CANNIBAL LADY (one night with a daughter, last night with my husband)

so, valentines night, was spent scaring ppl in a dar building, where they have to walk through the entire, 3 floors in near pitch dark, with only a small pin-light on thier finger to have as any light source.

no candy, no gifts, no dinner out.
nope, hubby and i shared out night acting together in a room.

me, cannibal lady, he..PIG FACE!
and just to give you a sense of who craig is..he NEVER likes to be out front...EVER!, hes not a social butterfly (like me) hes not a chatter (like me), hes a behind-the-scenes-dont-wanna-be-out-there kinda guy. and thats fine. its just the way he is. i couldnt expect him to be anything more.
we thought, he was gonna do his regular thing, run the barrels, hes the "best barrel dropper they have ever had", so we thought (cause we were told) hes be doing his regular dropping barrels onto ppl.
but when we get there, they decided to have him work my room (the cafeteria)...
and, he was gonna be, my hubby...(perfect for him, by the way..lol)

i had been wearing, for a small time a pig face, but because i have a bad eye, and a strpbe light in the hallway next to me going off, my left eye ould compensate for the quick change in light, and it just looked like a completely blacked out area, and my right eye couldnt focus (cause i wasnt wearing my glasses, how odd would that look under a pig mask)...so i took that thing off, at about thr 10 minutes in, mark.
but suggeste craig wear it last night.
so he did.

and he had a ton of scares!!! FOR A GUY WHO WONT ACT!!!
hed stand still, and wait for them to hit his own cued marker he  devised, then take a step and growl at them...most ran towards the door, out and away from him...he did great!
so, yeah...

this familys a little on the oddball side..

oh..where was daniel?
he agreed to come in and work, if i cut his hair, so i did...
he was "in the closet" (LOL, im kidding!) around the corner from me 3 rooms away.
i could hear him when hed make his heavy chain rattle.
so we were all on the same floor, just like last year. (daniel was in the classroom across from the hallway were i am.)

so..HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! from the WACKO WILLIAMSON FAMILY!!! lol

I MADE A GROUP FOR REBORN DOLL LOVERS IN OKLAHOMA

just another group, to add to the list of groups, i co-run, or admin, and pages i own, or help with (roughly 40+ at this point)

i was looking through a potential members profile who wanted in one of my groups, and saw she was a member of a reborn group for her state..
one of the main admins i work with was in her state as well, i shared that link with her, and ever since then, i have thought that was a really good way to keep a network of your states ppl together.

so, today, i finally did it. i made the Oklahoma Reborn Doll Lovers  group on Facebook

id like to be able to chat with, and associate with, and network, ppl from my local area.
maybe even have meet and greets and get together (depending on location, of course).

and this is open for anyone with any ind of reborn doll..
regular, or alternative.
it shouldnt matter, your personal preference is yours.

if its a reborn doll, and you own, or have one, will be getting one, create things for them, buy/sell/trade them, then your welcome.

to each his own.

i make regular, AND alternative reborn dolls.

i appreciate the art, but i know some ppl like a preference, and thats fine.
your allowed to.

so, if your reading this, and in oklahoma, and have ANYTHING to do with reborn dolls in anyway, other than hate them..

feel free to join...:)

WINTER ADVISORY WARNING FOR THIS WEEKEND...BRRRRR, Its Getting Cold Outside

it would appear, that 2 days into this year Oklahoma will have its forst winter storm for 2015.

and this is a really bad one, or so they predict, very much like the one we had in 2008? 2009? when we had a loss of power for 12 days.
THAT was rough.
thankful tho, that we have gas heating, and my hot water tank was always filled with hot water, so when i got too cold on the outside that my insides couldt get warned, id hop in a hot shower and  warm myself up, sometimes 3 times a day.
it was freezing, well below 32 degrees most of those 12 days, and i had NO power...and was surviving on what light i could get from the sun (that was over cast by gloomy grey clouds), my days started at 6am, and went to bed at 6pm, followed the sun.
i did, have the chance to read all of Amityville Horror, and One Flew Over the KooCoos Nest.
maybe i need to stock up on some more books, lol..just in case.

they say the weathers gonna produce ice on lines, like it did before, and may snap them.
not gonna be happy if that, in fact, does happen, again.

heres what a news report had to offer for the weather update.
