What a day!

Well, Anthony made it through the night with the baby. He was up 2x during the night with the child, and took care of it all on his own. I am proud of him. And he realized how difficult it is to take care of a baby. So, this morning the baby woke up again, Anthony took care of it, and then I took him to school. Wouldn't you know it? The baby does NOT like car rides...or it could just be my car. On the way to school, same as yesterday when I picked Anthony and the baby up, it cried. I pulled over so Anthony could change the diaper (that's what was wrong), then got him to the school. He turned the baby in, and hopefully he will get a good grade.

I also decided today to work from home. My mouth was hurting, I could barely open my mouth enough to drink a cup of coffee, so going to work was not an option. My boss was really cool about it. He knows if I'm working from home, I have a good reason, and he knew I got 3 teeth pulled. Plus he knows I don't just "sit" when I'm working from home. I actually do my work all day.

Anyway, Ann was at work and called me about 9:30am telling me she would be home "soon", then told me she was fired. There was some BS and the boss (who said it was "difficult" because Ann is her friend...yeah, friggin' RIGHT!) used that to release her. Poor Ann was so upset. She got home and cried a bit. I calmed her down and we talked about it, then she got mad. Can't blame her for that. She knows it's BS that she got fired. So do I, and she won't let me talk to the ***** that fired her.

Two weeks before Christmas, and we're back to one income. Woo friggin hoo! We have the majority of shopping done, which is good. Unfortunately I got the three teeth pulled yesterday and have to make the second half of the payment next week. So I'm guessing the majority of Christmas shopping became ALL the Christmas shopping.

She was planning on leaving there soon anyway, but on HER terms, and with another job lined up before she left. That plan is now shot to hell. But with the experience she gained at this job (there 16 months -- and this is the first time she's ever been fired from a job), she should be able to get another one fairly easily. And she wants to stay in childcare, has very good references, so it should be OK. Now just have to hope places are hiring.

Anthony came home today from school, he's exhausted. He actually asked one of his teachers if the holiday vacation could start today. He wants those 2 weeks off LOL! Can't blame him. Tomorrow he will be able to sleep, but I won't. Have to pay my car loan (5 1/2 months to go, and I pay weekly so it's not as exciting as it sounds), and I'll do the grocery shopping as well, being I'll already be out.

Well, that's it for now. TTFN!
