Mamas Going to Work! Some more....
What a whirlwind of a week. I could just scream about all the things that happened. First of all my husband didn't tell me we were having company on Saturday for the football game at 3:30 til 12:45 that day and I was supposed to have chili for everyone. All the time knowing full well that I had to take the girls to meet my mom at the mall at 2. I also had a day of just browsing around town for me planned-nope. All that was just not going to happen. So I went home and in 30 minutes,changed the girls, wiped them down, cleaned the bathroom, put chili in the crock pot and changed myself and headed out the door to meet mom. I ran my errands and knowing I had company coming at 3:30 headed home at that time and as I pull in the driveway mom calls me to come get the girls at the mall, her plans had changed and they were not keeping them for the evening after all! So-I took Whitney, who just happened to be pulling in the driveway with me to go back and get them. "T" was still here (not my week) and I had only had enough chili for 4 people, I was fuming! So I tried to come with a dessert and had no eggs, so I went to the next door neighbors and borrowed some and made the dessert. I began to feed to everyone, only taking a small portion for myself and "T" takes two huge bowls! Didn't Donny tell her?? I told him to. She could just make a sandwich if she needed more. Not tonight! So anyway I kept stirring the chili looking at the bottom wondering if it would stretch and just like the 3 loaves of bread... it did! I cannot believe it. After 7 hungry people (minus me) digging in it made it! I was saved!
Oh, yeah. We have gotten word from Pete-it is over. We are staying and we are SO unemployed with 5 people to support!!! So-I am working a new job besides my cleaning jobs I do, I will be working second shift 2-10pm each day at a call center (that is so below my ability) but is a paycheck. So, I will clean during the AM and work til bedtime at the call center 7 days a week. I am being tested I think. I guess I can catch up on my "me" time, since I will not be with my family very much. I am going to start freezing some meals for them and planning so my children will not eat junky dinners. With no insurance right now we have to try for optimum healthiness.
Oh well it will be a pleasure to make those things for them and know they are eating good while I am gone, and I won't have to worry.
Funny thing- "R" is now stripping down to her underwear everytime we are home for any length of time, and I couldn't figure out why. Finally she told me she was a man-cub, like Mobley from Jungle Book! Any odd behavior can always goes back to a movie that they have seen!
Oh yeah and today is my bday ,woo hoo!

Ya know, I'm a horrible horrible friend. Actually, I consider myself more a sister, so maybe you have no choice but to forgive me seeing as how we're family and all, but I SWEAR, I remembered your B-day, I just didn't send a card and didn't call you. Bad Girl, elena, Bad Girl!! I do love you to death though!!
About the job, I AM SO SORRY!! I know you must be scared to death, but please know that our prayers are with you, and that it's going to work out just fine. One question though, why are YOU the one going to work at the call center? Again, you HAVE to forgive me for asking a possibly forbidden question, because I'm family, but I worry about YOU!! What about YOUR health and wellness. I know for a fact that you need to take care of yourself. And taking care of your family is a full time job and THAT COUNTS. So what kind of help are you getting?
OK, I've gotta go. I've pushed the limit, but just know that I love and worry about you!! Take care of yourself and I'll try to give you a call before to long to check on you!! Love you, ME
