I'm sorry you're so sick. We've managed to avoid the swine flu here...so far so good. I'm so glad you have Reno to snuggle with. I love snuggling with my puppies. Take care.

Good luck on your new job! I like the changes you made to your template. Before, the words weren't inside the border, but they are now. For someone as illiterate as me, that's the only change I noticed. ;o) Take care!

I hope you do go forward with your new idea. For the most part, I enjoy my job. I don't LOVE it, but I enjoy it. I don't earn great wages, but I am able to provide us with fantastic health insurance. My job is literally less than a minute away from my home. Bill has always been the main money-maker for the family. Like you, he's worked countless jobs that he didn't enjoy because he HAD to. Nine years ago when he wanted to start his own business, it scared the crap out of me. I'm very black and white when it comes to finances. Or should I say, red and black? Ha! Just a little bookkeeping humor there. Anyway, we took our piddly savings and put it into his business. He does work hard. but the difference is, he's doing somthing he loves so it doesn't feel like working for him. The last several months have been challenging to say the least. His business is a service business and the economy has tanked here. Just in the past month or so, things are beginning to turn around. Although there were days (weeks) when I thought we'd lose everything, it seems that we're going to be ok. This week we found a solution that will help us a lot. We were told that we could have done this two months ago. For a minute or two I was irritated thinking of the stress we've lived through the past two months. Then I realized how much we've LEARNED in that time. We've learned that we can live on MUCH LESS than we thought. We've learned that when we're in bind, our family gets closer. We've learned that while we have each other's support, we really are ok. I wish you and G the best!

You are so right. I was pretty freaked out. If anyone had walked into my office during those 3-4 seconds, I would have been in HUGE trouble, if not fired. What made it funny is that I am the smoking police at work. I always make sure none of us lights up before we turn the corner AWAY from the schools! Shelby is always telling me to let my feet catch up with my brain. Yesterday was a perfect example. In my mind, I was already outside walking. Luckily, it turned out to be a funny office anecdote. I confessed what happened to my boss and she giggled because it's so not like me. Whew! BTW when do you get to start at your new job?

Oops, I hit done, before I was done. I never experienced anything like your walking on air experience. As a child I dreamed every night that I could fly. Although I haven't dreamt that dream in decades, I can still remember how awesome and real it felt.

I love it when all of a sudden I can see how the things I've been struggling with have led me to where I'm supposed to be. It doesn't make the struggling easier in hindsight, but it does give it meaning. Good luck on the new job! And good luck with Reno. You know how partial I am to chihuahuas!

Welcome Maxx! I loved his blog. He sounds like a lovely addition to your family. Take my word for it, as much as Gerrit loves you, he'll never do a happy dance and lick your face when you get home. That is now Maxx's job!

I only know that Cosmic was hospitalized and her breathing got to the point that a ventilator was necessary. She chose not to go that route. She was such a great lady, I miss her. Good luck with finding a new doggy for G. Us dog people need our doggies. I've always had much better luck working with rescue foundations than with animal shelters, dog pounds or classified ads. It was good to hear from you!

Okay, Missy. Don't make me fly out to AZ and feed you myself! Mike has low blood sugar too, so I know that if you get to a certain point, you don't even realize that you're in trouble. You start packing some snacks to take with you to work and EAT THEM! {HUGS}

Congratulations for getting yourself a car! I do work summers. The admin staff works year round, rather than just the school year. Sometimes I think of transferring to a position at a school so I can have summers off. Then I remember that we are just barely making it financially now. Taking summers off would be too much of a pay cut. Oh well. I've been working full time since I was 17, there's no reason to stop now! ;o)

I can't believe someone would pay to see a movie, when they could go for free! I don't blame you, I wouldn't be offering to share anymore either. I'm glad you're back to cooking (so I can steal recipes from you.) Happy late Mother's Day.

Your comments hate my dial up. I was amazed to discover that all of the archaeologists and geologists that I've studied over the years have been incorrect about the Sphinx being carved in situ from the limestone Muqqatam formation which was deposited some 50 million years ago, and that in fact it was carved elsewhere and deposited by persons unknown. Amazing.
Yes, I'm being facetious. Go to http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/sphinx1.htm for the straight poop.
Also, think on this. What if we lost our "history" for about 80 years. What would tribesmen coming upon the cities of New York and Washington DC think? Read Stephen Vincent Benét's "By The Waters of Babylon" for an example. Not saying that there aren't mysteries, but the author of that book you are reading needs to choose better material.
As for the Mammoths which have been found frozen, anyone from the Great White North can tell you how fast and unexpectedly the first blizzard of the year can come blowing in. If the mammoths were grazing in boggy land, as has been posited, then a sudden, early freeze could trap them in the bog, leading to their deaths. Also read Laura Ingalls Wilder's account of the blizzard which hit unexpectedly in April, (Little Town on the Prairie chapter 22) killing two men from the East. Nature is unpredictable, and it would only take a couple of early freezes to provide lots of frozen mammoths!

I may have shared this with you before. Whenever a married couple had trouble, my Grama would say "I don't live in that house. I don't sleep in that bed." No one but you and G can know what your relationship truly is and truly means. I'm always happy to see a couple try to mend their relationship. Good luck and hugs from MT!
