When the Night Off Turns into an All Nighter

So last night I was supposed to be kidless, the girls were supposed to be with their mother who was housesitting for her brother. I was looking forward to being able to get some sleep as I had a long day of work due. Well about 8:30 get a text from the Ex that my middle daughter wasn't feeling well, the she thought she had a fever. She didn't have a thermometer but said she felt hot. See when my kids are really sick they all come to daddy and I knew that if she wanted to come home that she would so I asked. She of course did, I offered to get her but her boyfriend was there and was able to bring her.
Well when she got here, she had a temp of 102.8! well after a shower and some Ibuprofen and about 3 hours later we are off to the ER with 103.2. That was 11:45 PM. Ih you might be asking why go to the hospital so quickly? Well she has a compromised immune system so at 103 it becomes an issue if something is out of control. 

Well some lab work, an IV, some Tylenol and 4 hours later we are on our way home. Lab work didn't show anything serious, they think its just something viral. Which I was happy for......But remember that long day I was supposed to have? Well I still had to work and getting to bed at 4:15 and having to get up at 7:45 AM to be in some town 45 minutes away to work 8 hours really sucked. And yes I had to make, I was training someone that had I not worked she wouldn't have worked and I was meeting an Owner to do some training that was scheduled and would be hard to reschedule. 

At the end of the day I was just happy to make it home without falling asleep at the wheel. My baby is still sick, I still have to worry about her but I am hoping to get some sleep tonight!

This Time A Year

It has been 8 years since my sisters last Christmas. I don’t know what it is but this year has been the hardest on me. Christmas was her absoulate favorite time of year, she lived for this time of year. I on the other had have been turned off a little for many years. Christamas just isn’t what it use to be when I was younger. I think that I only celebrated because of the kids and Mom and Dad. I have tried so hard this year to get into the spirit. Maybe it is because of the grandbabies, maybe it is the my parents failing health. But I have tried so hard this year, but I just can’t get over the hump. I have been emotional. All I can think about is how happy she would be knowing that both the boys would be there. All in all I can think about he my sister and how much I miss her more everyday.

Just Not Feeling It

So the past few weeks, well maybe months I just not feeling the work thing. It not like my job is hard, well shouldn’t be hard. There are times where others make it harder than it has to be, and some of the people I deal with are just difficult to deal with. But overall this job is not complicated, I am just not feeling it. So those that might say “why don’t you find another job”, to them I say I have been trying. I haver looked, had a couple offers that didn’t work for family reasons, others that just never came to together. But I am looking, maybe at time passively, but I am looking. What gets me is that it is not like I am not apprecated at least by my superiors, or most of my co-waorkers. So I should not really be feeling the way I do. What way is that you you ask? THe feeling that the job I do is thankless, that people that I have to deal with don’t really want me around or care for what I have to say...even when they know that I am giving them sound advise, its just that it...

When the Simplest Things Becomes to Overly Complicated

I have been trying to work on a home project tying in the families calendars. The key piece that I need is a cheap 10 inch tablet. Yeah I know tablets are a dime a dozen, but I don't need any bells and whistles. But the whole thing has gotten complicated and seemingly impossible to complete. Anyway I was trying to use this online shopping site Wish.com (also know as Geek.com). I have tried to order a inexpensive tablet 3 times with this site. Each time something has gone wrong, first and third try was delivered to the wrong address in a different state, the second one "was delayed" and I was given a fidget spinner instead. What gets me is that for anything else that I have ordered has come with no problem, but I order something for a specific reason I can't get it. Maybe it's a sign that I should give up the project, maybe I am going about it the wrong way, maybe its just I am cursed. Either way I am totally pissed that this company does this and there is li...
