Live Laugh & Love

Monday was a bit hectic emotionally for me.  Sarah, Jason, and the kids are still here as their utilities are still shut off.  Delaware Electric Co-op took the meter right off the property for non-payment, and the water will be shut off next week if it doesn't get paid.  All 3 kids are sick with upper respiratory and ear infections, and Riley also has pink eye.  His meds upset his tummy so of course, he's yakking all the time too.  I can't seem to get Sarah motivated to get on the phone and try to get help for herself and the kids.  She's already been to Social Services and because she had to work during the time her paperwork was supposed to be turned in, they have to wait until next month now to apply for emergency assistance again.  I honestly can't keep them that long.  Number 1, there just isn't enough room here for 5 more people and all of their stuff.  The kids aren't getting the sleep they need because they are bunking either on the floor or the couch.  The house is cluttered with baskets of clothes that are both clean AND dirty and it's just wearing me down.  The whining and crying is the worst part.  Poor Jason has all 3 kids most of the time so it's hard for him to find time to go looking for work.  I know he is frustrated too. (Sarah has a job so she's gone alot of the time)

On a lighter note, I DID get hired at Victoria's Restaurant in the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel.  I start Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m.  It couldn't have come at a better time.  I will train right through Sunday, then next Monday and Tuesday, I will open the kitchen by myself, with one other cook.  I'm more anxious than nervous.  I know how to run a restaurant kitchen but it's always nerve-wracking at a new place until you adapt to their way of doing things.  Wish me luck!

I plan on being there.  I need to send a note to Niki to let her know I'll be there.  Gotta think about that special $10 gift.  Hmmmm....
Look forward to seeing you.
