That Warner Brothers Frog

       Does anyone else remember that Frog that went around singing and playing the banjo in some cartoon?  Well, I've had that song "Hello, my baby, hello, my honey, hello my rag time gal" in my mind all day and I have no idea why!!  And that's all I remember of the song, so it's just that one line going 'round and 'round in my poor little head.  I thought this graphic looked like that frog, so I'm sharing!

My kids are both feeling better.  Everyone ate dinner and no one has a fever or a stomach ache.  Hopefully that means no one will be home from school or work tomorrow!  I had a very long nap this afternoon, so I'm having trouble getting sleepy for bed.  I did a little housework and read my newspaper, and that's about all I did.  The front page of the paper was, indeed, about the Army National Guard 623rd Field Artillery getting home yesterday.  Of course, most of the article was on the two mothers who lost their sons in Iraq last year.  Both families were there, though, to welcome home the rest of their son's battalion.  One of the mothers also welcomed home the twin brother of the son who was killed.  I can't imagine having the courage to get up and drive all that way early in the morning to welcome back your son's comrades, like the one mother did, knowing that your son would not be with them.  But she said that that was one way of accepting that he was gone.  That it was hard to completely deal with it while the rest of his company was in Iraq.

The local news tonight lead off with possible lay-offs at the Ford Truck Plant in Louisville.  At first they were saying that it probably wouldn't affect the Louisville plants, but now they're afraid it might.  I know a lot of people who work there. 

I must try to get to sleep.  I don't know what kind of hours I'll be working this week.  Last week was hectic.  We had lots of meetings.  Friday we did an orientation for five new Kelly Associates and as soon as that was over Erica and I had a Safety Team Meeting with the big shots from corporate.  There will be a fire drill sometime this week, and we have a lot of knew people, so we will need to go over evacuation procedures with everyone early in the week.  Also, we have lost a lot of our safety committee and we have to coordinate with the other teams on our floor to form one 8th floor safety team.  Well, there was only one other person at the meeting from our floor, and she is brand new to the company.  The job was just sort of handed to her.  So I suggested that Erica remain the Safety Captain for the entire 8th floor, the other girl agreed and our manager is seeing to it.  Because Erica works hard and is very good at communicating to the rest of the team, besides going to every meeting and making sure we have everything we need.  I didn't want to see her nudged out of that position by someone who couldn't even make it to the meeting on Friday.  Anyway, we are still in overtime mode, and I haven't been working any lately because it wore me out in November and December.  But I guess I will do my part now.  Besides Thomas' overtime hasn't yet picked up and I guess we can use the money.  So, I'm going to go try to get a few hours sleep now.  More later!
