The big day is here prayers and good thoughts are most welcomed!!
So today is the big day. I have to be @ the hospital at 7:20 in the morning (really 7:45 but I like getting places I have to be early. I freak when I am late for ANYTHING) So the itinerary says 7:45 - 8:00 Photos I.D. pictures will be taken, then @ 8:15 a hospital tour, then a "Welcome Breakfast"- then all the fun stuff begins... That's when we'll do, paperwork, employee benefits, employee health, labs ( TB test, Hepatitis C test, drug test, and TB mask fitting). The paperwork consists of the I-9 form, direct deposit sign up, and other stuff so they can do a criminal background check.
So once all of that's over with we are free to go and then I'll talk with my supervisor and see when she wants me to watch the videos I'll have to watch. After the lab tests come back and the criminal background comes back, we are issued our hospital I.D.'s and given our uniforms. I didn't have to buy any uniforms because
a color decision had been made when I went Thursday to sign some papers. They are teal and very pretty, I like them a lot. When mine is issued to me I'll take a pic with my I.D. and post it to my EP photo album! (I'm soooooo excited) 
One of the ladies I talked to in HR said the company they have doing their criminal background check has been kinda slow the last 3 months they've been dealing with them. She told me that they have to get that back before they can issue any I.D. badges & uniforms and once that's done I'll be "officially hired in".
I hope it doesn't take too long, I'm ready to get started and get in there and start making some extra money. I do know one thing, my son isn't really all that happy about me going to work. Even though I'll be @ work while he's asleep he doesn't like the idea of me not being here. 
I've never worked since he was born, and he's use to me being here for him 24/7 for the last 14 years. But I think he'll warm up to the idea when he sees he'll be getting more video games, T-shirts (he's a T-shirt nut like me) and just us having more money when we wanna go do things. Instead of me saying things like "You'll have to wait until next week before I can get that 50.00 video game." Or "We can't see the movie opening night, but I can take you next week when daddy gets paid" So, I think he'll warm up to the idea real quick. 
Ok everyone, wish me luck and send me prayers and good vibes, I'm not nervous, but I feel like I might have a case of the jitters in the morning when I get up. I'll try and take a pic of myself in the morning before I leave, I bought a cute new outfit for tomorrow (jeans are not allowed) so I will be out of my comfort zone since I'll be wearing girlie clothes *LOL*
Even if I can't figure out how to work the thing on my camera to take a pic automatically, I'll get my son to take the pic for me when I get home. I'm soooo excited!!!! Please pray for me that all goes well.
Ohhhhhhhhh, and I almost forgot, when I was at our local mall this weekend I bought me some "retainers" they are tiny clear pieces of plastic to wear when you can't wear visible jewelry, like a lot of restaurants wont let you have metal piercings showing for one reason or another... But you can wear invisible jewelry. So I had to get me some and I have them in already to save me some time in the morning. I feel naked without my metal jewelry in, and I look naked too, lol it's weird. I glanced in the mirror when I was passing by one today and I had to do a double take, I just look so funny without the metal on my face. 
Oh well, I'll be putting them back in every single day when I leave the hospital. I have to express myself- otherwise, I'm not being me.
I hope that you all had a safe and great holiday!
I'll update you tomorrow on my mom, she has breast cancer, it was confirmed Friday the 25th 
and she is having surgery Friday June the 1st @ 1:45 p.m. So please pray for her and keep her in your thoughts, her name is Linda and she's 55 years old. I'm an only child of hers (I have an older half sister - we have the same dad), but that's all for another day. I would like to have all the prayers I can get for my mom, so if you go to church or belong to a prayer group, please ask them to pray for her. 
I'd really appreciate that. Even if you are like me and don't go to church, I still pray for people, even if I don't know them and will never meet them face to face, I pray for every single one of the people in the WHOLE WORLD, even the "bad ones"- - especially the "bad ones" , I pray for us all for us to be better human beings, to live better lives, to teach our kids right from wrong- I even pray for the people who need and want to lose weight that they are successful at it. So I pray for all of you, you and other people who's not even on EP or any other blog whether you or they know it or not... Ok, so good prayers for my mom and good prayers for me, I really need that job, my mom is disabled physically (painful bone disease that's not life threatening) but she' has no money at all because she can't work.. I'll be paying for her meds and what not. So please pray that I get this job & quickly. Thank you all. (I'm gonna try to get caught up with you all today if time permits me too) I miss hearing about you all!! Ok, I've gotta go It's after midnight 12:45 here and I've got to get up at 5:00 a.m.
