Rainy days and Tuesdays...

Wow - what a day. It has not been a good one! Found out that my FIL, who has had ongoing heart problems, was told today that a procedure they were hoping would help him could not be done - the Dr. won't touch it - said it's too risky due to his medical history and current condition. So...he has a leaking valve, and nothing can be done. Not good! :( So that has put a bit of a damper on an already bad day.

My daughter is home sick today. She has had a sore throat and a nasty cough since the weekend, so I thought it would best to keep her home. My hubby is home with her, but now he's feeling bad. Did I mention it's rainy and cold here today too?

My work - wow...that's all I'm going to say! My boss is going out on medical leave starting Thurs. for about 6-8 weeks. I will be the only person in HR for that time, and boy do we have some ongoing issues! So...I'm a bit nervous to be here by myself for that long. I do have some support, but for the most part it will be me. Ugh! I don't see any vacation days in my near future! LOL! Today just wore me out - and it's not even 4:00 p.m. I was on the phone for 45 minutes with a worried employee, I received information on some leave information I'm still trying to figure out how to handle, and I still have SOOO much to do before 5:00. I'm sooooo ready to go! And did I also mention, we are not allowed to listen to radios at work - makes for a VERY long day! Ack!

I feel like all I do is complain the few times I get on here...I guess that's why I invented this little blog...to vent my frustrations. So...I'm going to continue! We are broke - so broke it's not even funny. My hubby can't find anythign since the real estate market crashed, so we pulled the kids out of the after school program so he could keep them to save some money. It's just not working! Soooooo tired of working and having NOTHING to show for it. Seriously, it's horrible! I grew up a little spoiled, so I have to admit, this is hard! I'm learning to appreciate how to save more, but the thing is there is nothing there to save! A happy meal is a treat for the kids now - that's pretty sad. :(

Anyway - enough whining! Things really are good in my life - I just vent the bad stuff. I am blessed to have my wonderful family, my sweet kitties, wonderful friends, a job I actually do like (even though it doesn't always sound like it) and I'm not really lacking for anything in my life. I WANT things, but don't really NEED anything I don't already have. So...thanks for letting me complain about my petty problems. :) Hope everyone else is having a wonderful Sunny Tuesday! Go away rain!
