Oh my ! I think Kitty is a little angry. Maybe he met those angry birds ! I don’t think I want to swim with him right now.
Danged XBox
I am so glad I bought insurance on the XBox. It is freezing up while you play the game and then you lose all of your progress in the game. If you have been playing for a while then you will lose a lot of progress. I bought it refurbished to save money, but made sure to buy a years worth of insurance just to be safe. When you have children it is a must with any kind of electronics. Especially game systems that run for hours on end. Time to hit gamestop.
Weather
I have discussed the weather before I am sure, but this is just annoying. Supposedly, it is going to snow this weekend, but they cannot say how much snow versus rain we will get. This winter has been so confusing that the weather people don’t know whether they are coming or going. I know that it must be driving them nuts, at least for our area. I cannot wait for spring, but I am not looking forward to the tornadoes and flooding…zzzz
How exciting
My friend Cherise just got a new job working for a chemical investment banking company. They have offices in New York, London and Shanghai. She will have to learn more about the company itself by working at each office. Cherise will start out in the New York office learning the chemical mergers and acquisitions there first. She is so excited about this opportunity and her hiring package is to die for. She and I were in business school together and this particular job would scare me silly. It is so advanced in business and banking that I am not sure I would ever be able to understand it myself. I mean we are talking about mergers and acquisitions for countries not just for corporations. Investments for places like China, that will bring prosperity to the country. That is indeed a complex job to have.
Chemical M&A is totally devoted to the chemical industry. Ironically enough they haven’t been hit as hard as other industries with the economic crisis that is global not just centered here in the US. They were able to restructure just enough to slide through without a dent to their market. I find that amazing considering the push for so many countries and corporations to go green. I am curious how exactly they managed to do it and I am impressed with their business acumen that got them through something that has bankrupted so many others. I wish the best of luck to Cherise and her new career. I will miss her when she goes on to London and then Shanghai, but I know that she will be home to visit as often as possible.
Better appetite
Well my littlest one finally has his appetite back. After weeks of on again off again sickness, from a stomach bug to a cold and sinus infection the poor little guy just hasn’t felt like eating a lot. I felt so bad for him, but still had to make him eat so he didn’t lose weight. I am so happy that he is finally back to normal. I hate winter sickness. This time of year it is always the same thing. Sick sick sick….grrr
Busy busy busy
Today was such a busy day. After getting the children off to school, I had to get one of the boys prescriptions filled and then go to his school so he could take one of the pills. Then I came home and began the laundry and house work that had built up over the last few days. Swept and mopped the floors, cleaned the kitchen, dusted etc… Fortunately tomorrow will not be nearly as busy.
Oh boy
My brother in law bought a f450 truck yesterday and it didn’t last twenty four hours before it broke down. He is so not happy right now. AAA doesn’t have a truck large enough to tow his truck back to his house and now the guys are all trying to tow it with a duelly that my brother in law still has, that is for sale. Although I am not sure if he is going to sell it now after the new one broke down. I hope it all works out.
used construction truck sale
Well, my brother is starting a new business. He has gotten his sub contractors license in construction and is now looking for used construction equipment for sale. He needs a couple of different machines to do what is required by the business he is going into. First he is looking for a backhoe for sale, preferably a used one. It will keep down his start up costs and leave more money for operation if he buys used vehicles for now.
He is definitely going to need a truck to pull a large piece of equipment. So I am helping him look for used trucks for sale online. The cost of starting a business is exorbitant and he is trying to save money where ever he can. I told him that he might want to find a used skid steer instead of a backhoe since they are definitely cheaper and weigh less. If it weighs less then the truck he buys doesn’t have to be too big. Either way I am sure we will find everything he needs in time for the spring construction rush. A lot of construction slows down during the winter around here because of the weather.
Valentines day
I have a love/hate relationship with Valentines day. I have always hated it because I was with losers who never got me anything, but now I have the best man in the world. He always makes me feel special all year long, but on Valentines Day he goes all out, even when we can’t really afford it. I am so happy with him. I have never been this happy before in a relationship. I thank God everyday for bringing this man into my life and pray further that he never takes him from me. =)
Poor little guy
Well, my littlest guy is still not feeling that well, however he is not running fever or anything so I couldn’t keep him home from school. I let his teacher know that he wasn’t feeling well and to call me if he looked like he was getting worse. He didn’t want to stay home and I hope he feels better after he has been there a while. I really hate to send him to school when he is like that, but there is no help for it. If he doesn’t go he will lose his spot in the program. Poor little guy…
