Wendesday....again........

It still blows my mind as to how fast time is just sweeping by...
Here it is Wednesday again, where did all those days go?

We're all feeling a little better. Boo is still sneezing a little, but her nose dried up. She has a little cough when she lays down, but not too bad. Nowadays I don't trust these so-called over the counter baby cold medicines, so just keeping her quiet and hydrated and fed is probably the best way. Baby Vicks helps too.

It's hot and humid here in Georgia. There's a little rain on the way, which doesn't improve the humidity. Gonna be hot from now on!!!


The big news is that Bugs decided to stay with her job.
She had a long weekend to think things over. Feeling sick forced her to stick around the house, and gave her a good opportunity to think.

She realized that getting into the recording business would be extremely difficult, with the industry being the way it is nowadays. Any "good" jobs she found in the paper or on Monster.com were all in the city. Working in Atlanta is a nightmare. The commute is long and than there is the price of gas. Not to mention that it would take more hours out of the day all around. Working "bar" for a while here in town would not net her enough money to live on, besides, the hours would be a killer too, she would have to work even later.

She realizes that her job isn't all that bad. Not for something here in this little hole of Cartersville. No opportunities here at all.
So that was one consideration.
The other one was that she really would miss her staff, and yes, her bosses. They are like her family.
I guess the fighting and the backstabbing is part of being that family *lol*...I dunno...
But she has invested 6 years to this family, and they invested in her. A few good straight talks and drawing of lines are in order. Maybe reallign the hours she works, teaching her to delegate more?

We also figured out something else. She started taking birth control pills about two months ago. Don't ask me why. (Uhhh..I know WHY...I meant, why the PILL)
Her experience with the pill has been bad in the past. She has tried different doses, different brands, they always mess up her cycle, make her extremely emotional and cranky.

I was surprised she was going to try again. This time something new, three months without a period. Supposedly.
During the first three weeks she had had three periods.
We think this had something to do with her state of mind and her decisions as well.
She really needs to find herself a GOOD ob/gyn who will want to figure out why she has such an aversion to the pill.
In the meantime I hope and pray she will use something else...

So she called a meeting with her bosses yesterday............. and ate crow.
Her (male) boss cried. Something that is hard to imagine, being the macho guy that he is.
They were both extremely relieved. Good help is hard to come by here in these parts.

Yes, we all breathed a sigh of relief, and mostly just to see her smile again. As much relief as she showed when she resigned, I think it was temporary, until the reality kicked in.

We're still going to be supportive, whatever she decides.

And yes, of course it drives me crazy. But what can you do?

I've lost my son because he thinks I made the wrong decisions in my life, claiming I did not support him ( It was not that simple, but that's a story for another day) We lost Wheelie's kids because we did not agree with some of their choices and told them so. Even though we did not try to stop them, they were quick to pull themselves away. I can only guess why, but I suspect that MJD has a lot to do with it. I know too many people who's families have been torn apart because of this illness.

And now I am drawing a complete brain fart....can't think...

time to go and take my shower and get ready for the girls....

Y'all take care now, y'hear!

SGMKJ!
