Thursday--a new day dawns

Good morning sistas!

Thank the Good Lord for mornings and new beginnings.  A chance to start over again.  Hopefully we will all have a little better day today than yesterday.  LOL!

Butch and I are no longer angry, Chris and baby are sleeping, and Benny Bop has not woke up yet.  Peace.  A much underrated commodity.

Today Butch has an appointment with the foot doctor.  We need to get his bunionectomy (is that a word?) scheduled to happen before the end of the year.  He also needs to go by the lab and have his bloodwork done for his quarterly diabetes check. 

I need to continue on my quest to get this household organized and squared away.  I feel like there is a mountain of work waiting for me here, but I haven't had a chance to do much about it this week between doctor's appointments and shopping for the baby.  I will say that while I was gone yesterday morning, Butch did a great job cleaning the floors.  Got all the dog hair swept up from every corner of the house and swiffered the floors for me.  Oh, that really helped!  (He's not always a jerk. )

So, come to find out that Mike (baby daddy) doesn't have a car!  How did we not know that?  All I could think was "Oh, not another one!"  Because John (Benny's daddy) didn't have a car either, but his was because of multiple DUI's.  I think Mike's is just because of poverty, not drinking.  Either way, he won't be spending a lot of time here because he sure as heck can't ride his bicycle here!  However, Chris says his dad is flying in next week and Mike is going to talk to him about getting a vehicle, so that probably will happen.  His parents seem to be quite excited about the baby.  They sent Chris a $200+ breast pump yesterday.  Hmmm.  Maybe Butch and I won't have to do EVERYTHING all by ourselves this time.  THAT would be a novel experience for sure.

And sure enough, Chris has already asked if Mike can spend the night here on Saturday night.  His work schedule doesn't allow for a visit until Saturday evening and then he's off on Sunday.  Well, hell.  What to do?  I told her he could spend the night but that I didn't want him moving in here!  I guess I'll be the one driving him back and forth since Chris isn't cleared to drive yet.  Fun.

Butch, of course, leaves on Sunday.  Gonna be an interesting month, that's for sure. 

Well, I need to get a shower and get Benny up and ready for school.  You know I love you all!

Vickie,

So happy to read that everything is settling down, though with a new baby in the house, that probably won't be for too long (lol). . .you know, your Butch has got the life, he manages to escape a bit (lol). . .  well sounds like the baby daddy comes from a decent kind of family and even if the jury is out on him, he has a job (albeit not a well paying one) and is interested in his child, hoping it stays that way for all concerned.

For any who don't know, via Facebook, I gave notice at my job of the past 4 years, a job that while grateful to have it, I am also grateful to be moving on.  I will say that it feels good that the HR Director called me at home and asked if, since part of my reasons for leaving, are the fact that I am very underutilized in my current position, if I wanted to perhaps work in one of their other offices, I responded that while I appreciate the offer, the benefits where I am going are also a big part of my reasons for leaving.  She said, she was really sad to see me go, but wished me luck in my new position, which starts on September 30.  It is always nice to leave a job with the people that matter, letting you know that you've done an excellent job and they are sad to see you go. . .

Today has me cleaning up and gathering things that will be leaving with me in two weeks.  Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary for me. .

Have a good day!  Prayers and good thoughts for all in need. . .

Laureen

Laureen,  Congratulations on the new job!  Hurray!

Oh, it occurs to me that if you didn't read my last post from last night, you won't know why I was so mad at Butch yesterday.  No longer mad this morning, but if you want to read about him being a JERK, it's on yesterday's post!  LOL!

Morning all!

Getting so excited about spending a week with my sissy! Vickie, sure you don't want to run away and join me!! Lol! Our sweet husbands can be jerks just when we don't except it, but as the say, "can't live with them and can't live without them".

Well I hope everyone has a great day, thoughts and prayers for all,

Debbie

LOL! Debbie, you keep asking me to run away and one of these days I might just accept your invitation!  Glad you are going to visit your sister.  Have fun quilting and canning!

Judy!  Do you realize that this is the first day in forever that you've haven't written about your shoulder hurting you???  Does this mean you're feeling better today?  Oh, I hope and pray it is so!  Maybe the shot will do it for youl.  Love you!

LOL Vic LOL I just didn't say anything about my arm is because I think most are tired of hearing about it. I am still having pain but right now it is back to where it was BEFORE the shot. So now I am hoping this will also get even better since the shot!!!! Time will tell...just wish I would remember that my arm IS not right before I move it wrong or fast...OMG the pain!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for asking about it though...;-)

Love you also!!

HUGSSSSSS

Hi Vickie and my OFF family:

Vickie, just read your other post ... men can be such ******** You're right, the baby is here and there's nothing you can do about it. So everyone needs to make the best of the situation, and that includes him. Doesn't help to take it out on Chris and the baby. Well, glad things have calmed down. 

Tried out the CPAP ... don't know if I slept any better last night. My nose was sore and crusty (but that could be because I have a cold). Not used to breathing through my nose, either. Takes practice. Juliette didn't bother the machine or tubing, and when I took the mask off while she was near, she got spooked and ran off, scared by the sound. So when I turned off the machine, I invited her over to sniff it, which she did. Now I don't think she'll be scared. Not that I want her clawing the tubing (the tech said cats often do that); I just don't want her scared of the machine.

Not much else is happening. Back to work today. Have a good day.
