Too purty to live in town.....

Wednesday 2/7/07

I'm home today....for now. Joe's got the runs bigtime. No vomiting or belly pain, thank God. He just can't get out of the john. I called the donkey to see if he can split the day with me so I can at least work 1/2 a day. He told he he'd have to call me back. I guess he's looking for a reason to tell me he can't.

I'm so glad I have an understanding boss. She knows I'm a Mom before I'm an employee. There's just no way I can send Joe to school like this.

I just hate missing work so much. I may check to see if I can go in over the weekend to make up some time so I don't exhaust all my leave again this month and have to go on leave without pay.

It just figures, that now I've finally got my "groove" back, that Joe gets sick. Oh well. I guess I can finish up some household chores while I'm here.

My aquarium has become a death chamber. I spent $40 on fish last weekend, and of the 9 fish I bought, only 3 remain. I also lost both big silver dollars.
I've got another fish we named Terror (because he likes to mess with the other fish) who looks like he's not doing well either. I'm just not sure what to do. I've totally broke the tank down 3 times now, washed the marbles, etc. Haven't
gotten it figured out yet. Guess I'll have to get a book from the library to see what else it could be. I don't really have the time or tolerance to take a water sample into town to the fish store to get it tested. I'm afraid they'll see it as an opportunity to get more $$ out of me and load me up with a bunch of stuff I don't really need. It's a shame we only have one fish store in town now.

OK, that's about all I have right now.

My quote for today is: A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

Thanks for coming by,
