Well, I've decided to set up a separate blog than the one on my front page. Why? Well, the number one reason was I just really wanted to use this template! Isn't it cute? Also, I just felt it was time to move the diary type stuff to a different page other than being one of the first things you see. I'm sure not everyone really cares what is going on in my life. So, the first page will now be for site updates only. Sound good? Well, too bad. :P *laugh*
A whole lot has been going on in my life lately and I've just been struggling through it all. My company laid off a lot of people ($6 million in labor) and although my department wasn't really affected (they just did away with vacant positions), I have been subject to the aftermath in other departments. We had a man from Plant Operations get very upset about the new schedule (go from ten guys to five and those five have to work tooooooo much) and he screamed at the director, punched the wall, threw his coat at my desk (almost knocking over my monitor) and basically just scared me to death. It was not a fun day. On top of all of this, I have been under massive amounts of stress. It's really beginning to get frustrating. I am one person. Do you hear that, Powers That Be? ONE!! One little teeny tiny (okay, not so teeny tiny, but you udnerstand) person! I cannot do the job of five and complete everything to everyone's satisfaction! I cannot please everyone and right now, I cannot please anyone, including myself! I have over the past five days at work, cried on the phone to someone, three of those days out of sheer frustration! *sigh* I just can't take it anymore. *sigh* Anyone wanna give me money so I can become independently wealthy?
The sickies seem to be making a round again. After I was sick, we found out that my mom has pneumonia and is going on Friday for a CT Scan of her lungs. The doctor asked her if she smoked. That worries me. Cancer runs rampant in my family. Oh well, I must try not to worry so much. :P How do I know, right? All I can do is wait. Oh and for the record, mom used to smoke, but she quit a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg time ago (well before I was born). Then Jr. woke up sick yesterday. It was awful. Today, the babysitter is sick, so Jr. is home with the girls. He's really got his hands full. :P Pookie has preschool today and it's "blue" day. So, I washed one of her blue dresses (she wore the other one on Monday - before I realized today was "blue" day) and when Jr. went to put the tights on her, he discovered blue fuzzies all over them! *sigh* So, I got a phone call and Pookie was crying over these tights. So, tonight I will be stopping for new tights...just so we have them. Jr. found another pair of tights in the dryer, so that helped. However, I had to tell Pookie that Jr. would paint her nails before preschool and put perfume on her, just to get her to calm down. Ah, the world is a disaster when you are four-years-old.
I've been working on a major project lately. It's pretty hush-hush, but a few people know. Everyone will know soon enough. *laugh* Am I secrative or what? I've been reevaluating my online priorities lately and realized I had overextended myself (again) with my online groups, so I drew back some in Simply Enchanting Angels and the Brat Pack. I just couldn't keep up with the PSP committees in those groups, so I transferred to other ones that should be a little less stressful for me. I stayed in the PSP gropu for Women Who Believe though, but at least now that's only one graphic assignment a week instead of 4-5. :)
Well, that's about it for right now. I hope I will be able to blog more now that I have cut back some of my other responsibilities. Who knows...we'll see. Have a great one!
