Up Again

Yes, it's early morning and I am up again. Rebecca woke up with a case of upset tummy and needing to use bathroom, so here I am awake. She is asleep again on couch. I don't know if I want to go back to bed or not. I guess I'm not the only one awake, because as I type this alerts are popping up.

Jim has to work today. So I'll be going to Emma's early. He'll drop Rebecca and I off at 8am. And the preparing and cooking will begin. I know by tonight I will be totally exhausted, and it will be even worse tomorrow. But after tomorrow I can rest.

Ok, remember last year when Jims position at his last job was terminated and we went through the rough time of not having money or knowing if there was gonna be a christmas? Guess what? That company opened a new shop, and wants Jim to come back to work for them. Can you believe it? I asked Jim what he thinks about it. He said they can scratch their ass and get over it, cause theres no way he'd ever go back to work for them. Besides, it was 16.00 an hour, 45 minute drive and no overtime. This job he has now, is 2 blocks away, 18.00 an hour and lots of overtime. And Jim was just told he's getting a brand new work van. The boss bought Jim a 300.00 electric cutout knife to remove windshields with, and said any other tool he needs let him know. Jim told him winter is coming, a heated Eyurothain gun would be nice. So it's on order, lol. Jims going out on the bosses boat in a couple weeks. His boss is a fisherman and so is Jim, so he asked Jim if he wanted to go fishing, of course Jim said yes. With all these plus's why would he want to go back to work for that other company? I admit the insurance was great, but it's just not worth the aggrivation and headaches that come with the job.

Well, I think I am going to go take a shower, and get the things ready to take to Emma's and maybe play some pogo until it's time to leave. Have a great day today. I will try and post pics of food today if I am not too tired.

Love to you all................

  2. I am just back from a few days in Scotland so catching up with th ejournals. Do so wish for y ou that Rebecca would sleep all nighth through then you would get some well earned sleep yourself.  In teh Uk we don't have the same kind of "showers" as you do it sounds fun and I look forward to the photo's but please try not to tire yourself out too much.  Have a nice weekend though  Love  sybil xx

  9. Jim needs to stay where he is, he is making the right decision.  The main part of having a job is enjoying it. A man has to spend most of his life working and if he isn't in a job he likes he can get very very misarable indeed. So good luck Jim. Cindy you do so much. You take care too. bye for now Kathie.

  10. sounds like another long day ahead that's for sure. It's funny the kids can wake  us up and they go back to sleep but we can't. LOL. We are old we need the sleep. Jim's job sure sounds so much better now, I'm happy he is going to stay where he is now.
