Wow......!!!!!! News!- And Changes Galore!!!

So much going on for me this week.
First of all- remember that promotion i told y'all I might be getting?
Well, I turned it down. Turns out I was going to have to do twice the work for the same amount of money and I told them no thanks.
So they just eliminated my position at the site.
Dang.
My bossman offered me my choice of 2 twelve-hour shifts on the weekend.....OR.......the second shift position at the site I am at now.
So I took the second shift position. Which means I will be going to work in the daylight and sleeping like a NORMAL person. I'm not sure I can do that. I've worked night shift since 1983 with the exception of a five year stint as a courier from 6AM to 7PM in the mid 90's.
I'm not sure I can DO daylight- I'm a bona-fide child of the night...a real life vampyre.....my skin sizzles in the sunlight.

Secondly- my mom had had a couple of dinner-dates in the past couple of weeks.
Now that is definately something that's gonna take some getting used to. But he's a sweet man- from what I can see so far...so...it'll be okay.

Thirdly- My daughters ultra sound didn't turn out so well.....they couldn't find the babies hearbeat...which the doc explained could mean two things...either the baby has expired and Julie is about to miscarry-OR she's not as far along as they thought and the baby is still too small for them to get a heartbeat. So they rescheduled her for another ultra in two weeks time and told her to go home and take it easy. Ummmmmm- she has 5 boys to contend with- not to mention the BIG guy. Nice try. And I can't help her out because I have a full time job to deal with- as well as looking after my mom. It's gonna be a LONG two weeks. But we will get thru it. Say a lil prayer for her, if ya would.

And I'm gonna end this on a GREAT note....


My baby boy and his wife are having ababy too!!
Just found out today!! And it's due sometimes between Feb 25th(my birthday)- and March 7th-
(His wifes sisters Birthday). I would love to have it born on my b-day- but I think in this case I would rather the baby be born on Mandy's....she passed away three years ago-two weeks before Clay and Kathy's wedding day- in an automobile accident.
I think it would be wonderful if they thought about naming the baby after her as well if it's a girl. But I'll keep my opinions to myself on that one. I'm sure they've thought of it already anyway.

Anywho...that's my news for this week. I don't think I could stand one more bit of excitement this week....but then again- if it's good news- I'll give it a whirl.
